But the rest of you make so many contributions to my work that I can hardly credit everyone, so I'll just take all the credit myself. It's much easier that way. All except for Capt X. That guy contributes nothing. And if we ever find him, we'll make sure of it.

Now, you may be thinking, "Illiad is a great guy!" Well, I am here to tell you to continue doing that, and click all my ad links, too. I need the revenue that I just can't get from a bunch of cheap, freeloading geeks. Like nin_man.

If you've ever wondered just how much influence your comments have had on my cartoons, then answer me this question: what's it worth to you? No, seriously. Give me a dollar amount. Canadian - not that crap from south of the border, either. Something with a queen on it. Like gaygeek.

Finally, don't hesitate to be foreign. This message is most important considering the worldliness of the world wide web. Did you know that 9 out of 12 web surfers live somewhere in the world? That statistic is mind boggling! Somewhat like my relationship with a certain inflatable South American ruminant. Um, not like pecosdave. Further south.

If anything in this post offends you, please remember that it was all offered on behalf of Illiad - who takes no responsibility for truth, accuracy, merchantability, or even his own future. So blame Kickstart. Just because.
