Diabolic retcon

One has to climb to quite a height to fall so spectacularly far.

C'mon everybody, give Colin a huge round of applause and CONGRATULATIONS for reaching strip #100. It's quite an accomplishment, don't you all think?

FIRSTS! have broken this strips comment hymen...
on another note i didn't expect this at all... and it was good.
I'm taking a break from working to post this. Check the comments on the last strip to see how I got schooled on my own webcomic.
Last October, after finding some nerdy-looking executive portraits online, I decided to try to be funny. Making the strip brought me some levity during a tough year, and I hope everyone else has gotten some fun out of it too.
100 strips is a pretty big landmark for me, and I thank everyone who reads this. With this strip, this is the single longest continuous work I've ever done, and it's due in no small part to the fact that I have a vocal readership that inspires me to continue.
Here's looking forward to 100 more. One day, I'll be like Penny-Arcade and help sick people play video games with my massive clout.
Seriously though, this holiday, if you were going to buy a shirt from me, give the money to Child's Play instead.
Then hock some of your crap so you can afford to buy a shirt.
Wow, beat to the punch on my own comments. I was a little long-winded, I guess. I'd like to hear your favorite moment in the strip so far. So tell us!
My absolute favorite has to be No.24:
"So what are you holding that lightsaber with?"
"Hoot."
"Oh.
Neat."
dude, you rock
Congratulations on reaching #100! Look for me to congratulate you again at #1000.
Can someone explain 'retcon', I know what it means but is the word derived from something?
"HOLY SHIT! They got Root Beer in here!"
"HELLS YEAH!!!"
or, of course..
"I *beer* carbs" and the like..
Anyways, congrats on reaching 100, Colin!!

"Retcon" /ret'kon/ retroactive continuity.
The common situation in fiction where a new story "reveals" things about events in previous stories, usually leaving the "facts" the same (thus preserving continuity) while completely changing their interpretation. For example, revealing that a whole season of "Dallas" was a dream was a retcon.
This term was once thought to have originated on the Usenet newsgroup news:rec.arts.comics but is now believed to have been used earlier in comic fandom.
