300th
300th panel anniversary: an image of a large “300th” surrounded by various characters featured in the past on this blog.
Yep, it’s been 300 panels! Here is the cast of characters over the years:
Triangle is the earliest character, and most beloved. Sometimes other geometric figures make an appearance if extras are needed.
Player was an attempt to try something new. I come back to this one when I think about games.
Eric was born out of insecurity - I was thinking that surely the first idea for a character can’t be the best.
Boson appeared when the Higgs boson was first announced. It was quite liked, so it made a few more guest appearances!
Author was an attempt to make a “proper” comic, where proper meant human-shaped.
I’m surprised the Boy never made it to the comic! I was sure it did - it’s definitely in the sketches. It did feature as an animated character in the Bathroom Adventure though!
One and Zero are characters I use when I’m thinking about explaining computer things.
