Thank You, Brian

[Galgum]

I created an account just to toss my hat into the thank you pile. I started reading in 2001 thanks to my friend in our Integrated Software class back in 9th grade. This has by far been my favorite web comic, it's also the first that really got me to recognize the concept of web comics. I too have the fond memories of the M-W-F schedule before it changed to T-Th-S. I mean, my icon that I used as my forum avatar I've been using as my AIM buddy icon since the comic where Black Mage used all the cheesy pickup lines on White Mage FOR 9 YEARS. Thanks to you, I can never change my buddy icon or forum avatars (I also use it in TF2).

Whenever I suggested this comic to someone I always show them my favorite one, King Steve's Theatre - New Shoes: http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/12/...ter-new-shoes/

To this day, that one still cracks me up. So the only thing left to say is thanks man, for the years of work having made 8-bit easily one of the best, and most consistently funny web comics out there. Good luck on your future endeavors.

Forgive me sire. Your wisdom is eternal.

I wasn't there at the start, but I guess hopping aboad when it was only 40 chapters old is close enough. I liked it so much, I immediately started spreading it around to my friends.

8 bit was one of the only good sprite comics, and it was one of the truely great webcomics of any kind, period. I can say with confidence that it never got boring, never disappointed, and never remotely "jumped the shark".. And good for Brian for ending it on his own terms, instead of trying to extend it's life and just let it fizzle out, like a lot of good comics do...

I do hope he'll maybe consider doing something with King Steve and Sara once in awhile? *Hint hint*

Well, like so many others, I appreciate the time put into 8-Bit. It is a masterpiece, unparalleled in it's genre (sprite comics) and, in my opinion, only matched by a precious few overall. Even though I would love to see 8-Bit continue on forever (somehow), as long as you don't completely abandon comedy I'll be content. I guess it has to end sometime, but it feels to me like there is still so much story left to tell. I would not have called the last comic, as an ending, a cop out, but I am glad it is not the end, because it still feels like something is lacking. I'm sure you won't disappoint (or if you do, I'm sure it'll be satisfying in a fuck-you-Brian-you're-such-a-bastard sort of way).

I'm something of a latecomer to webcomics, as this is the first one I started reading, and that was probably between three and four years ago. Anyway, thank you for creating the consistently awesome 8-Bit and good luck on your future projects!

My friend and I used to go out on walks and hang out, joke about the latest 3 strips or so as the joke or instance seems to last about that, then we started going out and juggling metal whips and flails while talking about it. From the very start I think you deserve 100% of the credit for swordchucks as the idea of using gyrespikes from dnd or pommels from the jian would not have prompted me, what did was the creative presentation of the concept and the fan base. Thank you =]

I feel sad that I came so late to the fray, but I enjoyed this series very much.

[Naqel]

As a word of thanks from myself, I'll thank for the longest brick joke ever.

[Grognor]

I can barely contain the tears.

This is dumb and more than a little histrionic. Pardon my brusqueness.

I anticipate your angry replies and do not care for them. I hope this will not be considered flaming.

[waw]

Brian, you've done what I've wanted to do. What so many folk have tried to do and failed miserably. You went the distance. You pulled a damn Rocky.

You made a joke into an epic story that had some very sad points in it, that were heartfelt, it had jokes that were hilarious, action that was epic. Giants, fencing, fighting, true love...er... intense boob-desiring.

Despite any criticism I've ever thrown out, I do consider this a masterpiece. I'm eternally biased to this out of the rest of your work, I hope you can always remember how many people you enraptured with this.

I think you really are Bard, the Fifth Light Warrior.

Thanks for the laughs and the good times. This is FF-canon in my book!

I want to thank you Brian.
8-bit theater is what dragged me into the world of webcomics and all sort of associated nerd stuff,and thus changed me into the no-life having computer geek i am now.
Again from the bottom of my heart thank you.
