Hi!
I've been reading Sluggy for over 10 years. I think I found it in college sometime and archive binging was a great comfort on late homework nights.

I think Sluggy is one of the best humor works I've read in how it manages the tension between being constantly humorous, but also telling meaningful stories. I haven't quite figured out why, but I think it might be that the style of the humor seems to "fit" the theme; when the story gets dark, the humor gets darker, but stays consistent with the characters, so it still "feels" true.

I stopped reading for a bit somewhere in the middle of 4U City... earlier this year I was feeling bored, and lonely, so I picked it back up starting a few story arcs earlier than that.

Boy, I MISSED OUT on the 4U city ending... the severely impressive fall of HeretiCorp...... and, of course, the Oasis reveal. All the years of teasing and piece-by-piece revelations really paid off.

Nice to meet y'all.

Welcome to the forum Webfoot!

Yes you did miss out in some really great reveals that people have been wondering about for ages. The really interesting thing is how many clues Pete does give us in earlier comics but he still surprises us. I still can't figure out how he keeps track of everything.

Anyway [member's name here], now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.

At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem --usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted-- written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want to possibly get a [name of harmlessly fatal item here] or some other type of gift.

Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.
