    I don’t care if Jeff is a christian or not, just so long as he doesn’t go the B.C. route and start preaching at us from the comic. If he does that, he’ll lose me just as fast as Johnny Hart lost me with B.C.

    I like GPF and have read it for a long time. The only trouble I have with it is there are times where it gets VERY risque, such as when Trudy is having nightmares about C.R.U.D.E and the Empress (February 22, 2004, especially). Why this sort of sexual content is necessary is beyond me. The recent fillers with Mischief continue that trend…

    Well, duh! It wouldn’t be a geek comic if it didn’t have any risque scenes in it. That’s not a problem.
    I have followed GPF from the beginning, and it started out as a cute little geek comic that could regularly pull a laugh out of me. Now I read it more for the plot than the laughs. I kinda hope it chills out on the whole extra-dimensional thing for a while. (Though the Kevin and Kell crossover a while ago was cute) Throw in some more geek humor! I think it has gtten a little too strange, and a little too serious to hold my attention anymore.

    About 7 years ago, I made a contribution to the local public radio campaign during a computer help show. The show was called – seriously – “General Protection Fault.” For my contribution, I got a little bit of loot, including Jeff’s very first book (I think), “Mating Call of the North American Computer Geek”. The book had a link to the site, and I have been getting my web comic fix here since.

    If I am recalling this right, the radio show host – Jeremy Smith – had met Jeff at a computer trade show, exchanged their life work names, and the result was the book now in my hands. Which is – ahem – autographed.

    So happy anniversary from a long-time reader. Here’s to another nine years.
