I've been reading Sluggy since around 2007, I think. Maybe longer. I first found the comic through a link at another comic and started reading the 1997 arc in which Bun Bun tries to blow up Santa.

I went back to the first strip, got caught up in the archives, and have been reading since.

I love Pete's sense of humor and creativity.

Welcome to the forum theletter6!

It is always interesting how people first find Sluggy. I myself discovered it on a disc that had free ebooks from Baen Publishing. It had this story called "Game Called on Account of Naked Chick". Which I liked, and it also was my first introduction to these thing called webcomics out on the net that I did not know about. I think it was around 2004 or 2005.

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.
