Not bad for a webcomic, eh? Let's take a look at some other things that turned nine this year:

• Grand Theft Auto V.
• "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus.
• Prince George of Wales.
• The reign of Pope Francis.
• DoorDash.
• The finale of Breaking Bad.
• The word "bingeable."

Hmmm. Well, 2013 certainly was an interesting year.

This comic's been around for over eight years, and I've never done one of these..? Well, that's about to change. In a few weeks time I'm going to share the results of this comic's first Q&A. But for that to happen, obviously, I first need your questions. It can be anything related to Because I'm Depressed, the characters, the setting, the drawing process, etc. I can't promise I'll be able to answer every question, but I will do my best. You can post your questions here in the comments if you'd like, or you can also email them to me Looking forward to your queries!

It may be hard to infer from the comics of mine that you've seen, but I'm a big fan of history, and my favorite comics are of the nonfiction variety. For a long time I've been wanting to branch out into making nonfiction comics, and today I've launched Comics Chronicle as a place to share those comics. Currently there is only one comic, but I of course intend to add more in the future, both longer features as well as short strips.

If you're not interested, that's fine; it's difficult to imagine something more dissimilar than Because I'm Depressed, and I don't expect a ton of overlap in readers. But if you do find it interesting, go check it out!

Either way, Because I'm Depressed isn't going anywhere. More comics are on the way!

Hard to believe it's been eight whole years since I scribbled out that first comic starring Diego and Chel.

In honor of this day, have some Dr. Dog.

This comic has been up for almost eight years, and now it's finally got a Patreon! Go check it out, and consider becoming a Patron if you can.

The rewards are pretty basic for now, but more is likely to be added later on. Our host (Comic Fury) has Patreon integration on its to-do list, which will eventually offer opportunities for even more rewards.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks again for your continued readership and support!
