Happy birthday to you, you live in Rackenroon, you look like a 'yeena, a-aaaaaaaaa-and you smell like one too!

Happy birthday, Carry On! Now will there be a cake and will it survive for very long?

Congrats! It's been fun and I look forward to enjoying it as long as you want to continue it!

Carry On was one of the first furry comics I ever came across as a kid, I used to read a lot of those kinds of comics, including the Cross Time Cafe, 21st Century Fox, Freefall, etc. Kinda wish I never stopped reading those. But you started posting your comic on FA at just the right point cuz the beginning to the Road To Rackenroon was right about where I had stopped reading. I'm so glad to have it back in my life again, and I hope to continue to read it for as long as you plan to make it it!

I think that's my first "I've been following you since I was a kid" comment!

I for some reason thought the lieutenant was sometimes on WCOTP as well

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that abbreviation.

According to Google, it stands for "World Confederation of the Teaching Profession ".

West corner of the park comic strip :p

Oh, OK, thanks--no, I've never heard of it, so if you saw Fred hanging out there, it wasn't any of my doing.

No Prob, He did look kinda like Fred, red coat and glasses :)

Happy Birthday! I love what you eventually decided to do with Fred, it really does feel like you're letting him tell his own story. That's why he's written so well! They're all great in their own right, and I'm looking forward to more :3

Congratulations! I think the final product turned out far better than your original plan. Funny how that happens, sometime. A one-shot gag turns into the whole continuity.

And yes, I have characters pestering me, too. Right now, a Polar Bear lady and a Wolf girl...

I have to admit when i started reading this on the Webpage, only seeing the upper part at first I totaly panicked because I thought you where about to anounce the end of the comic >A<

A very "Happy Anniversary" to you and "Road to Rakenroon", Kathy. I don't know how much longer it's going to last but I'll be here if it's heavenly possible.

Ooh. I've got a comment for today's "Carry On" but, I won't make the comment until you post it.

I first was introduced to Carry On not that long ago, it was one of the crossover comics I think that got me interested. The one wherein the Black Guard purchased some 'weapons' from Doc over at Whiteboard, I think? So it was fairly recent.

Since then, I have binge-read the entire comic, and even read some of the extraordinarily amusing diaries of Fred (and what happened at his graduation ceremony from Officer Training, to this day, has got to be one of the most amazing scenes I've ever read).

I love the comic, and what it has grown into, and I'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future. Rather like a cat, once you feed it, you'll never be rid of it.

I really enjoyed writing the Diary. I had collected so many backstory side notes that had nowhere to go in the comic that I felt compelled to use them. I'd love to be able to draw the Graduation Ceremony scene but I'm no Sergio Aragones!

Isn't it AMAZING what happens when you let the characters write the story?

I learned this as soon as I started letting Birch write a good portion of the story of The Beach Bears.

Dang, I didn't realize it took me almost a year to read this. I wish I had read it sooner because I like the way you changed things (Thanks to Fred's input.). Now, I can't imagine Kathy EVER returning to her job in New Yak City.
