I bet with a little bit of technical know-how you could bang out a script that could check for comic 499999 every few seconds and just publish yours at the right time.
I cheated, but only sorta. I figure it's totally legit if you just happen to make a comic and it's a magic number. It's pretty bogus if you publish 50 blank Asian girl comics just to run the numbers up quick so you can get the number you want.
I was sort of threading the needle between the two. I noticed maybe a week ago that we were getting in 500K territory, and every day I'd take a peek and see that we were only inching toward it.
Last night I was chatting with Brad around 10:30 or so when I looked at the front page and noticed choad had just posted 499998. So I realized it was time to get to work.
While I did have to pad 10 comics, I made an effort to not make them all total shit. I kinda like these:

|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| No, no. The first rule of Fight Club is that you always bring a dish to pass. | |

| Now you're thinking about the potluck on Fridays. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| I'm pretty sure the Friday potluck is a no-holds barred cage match, and there are no rules. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Ok, now you're just being stupid. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| So I says, "Well, them rotor turbines ain't gonna generate gravitons by themselves!" | |

| Ok, so I've got four bodies each cut up into six pieces. Only five pieces will fit in the trunk at once. | |

| Roundtrip to the dump is 8 miles. The car gets 14 mpg, and there's 2 gallons left in the tank. | |

|
| | |
| Ok, gimme a second. I'm great at math puzzles. | |

| What math puzzle? I just wanted to borrow $20. | |
