It's really hard to consider how far I would have gotten spriting my own sprites. I assure you, I wouldn't have a website.
It's always nice to get encouraging words from those who read the comics. My interest in making comics is what helps me create them, but it's always the encouraging words and great people I meet that give me the dedication to actually open up Photoshop, write, sprite, and draw. So, this comic isn't just for me anymore...it's grown. It's for you...the heroes. Who are the heroes? The people who read this comic. You get it, and you come from a long line of it-getters.

I really want to thank everyone.

Spriters

I wish to give each and every single spriter who gave energy into the sprites that I use here the recognition they so greatly deserve.
  • DanielSidney and Nate the Hedgehog for their Sonic Advance and Sonic Battle Sonic sprites.
  • DanielSidney and N-finity for their Sonic Advance and Sonic Battle Tails sprites.
  • DanielSidney for Sonic Advance Amy sprites.
  • Tonberry2k for many of the Mario sprites used in the comic, including Noa_Alex.
  • Surge of Light for the Moblin sprites used for Noa_Andy.
  • Whoever the heck made that dancing pickle sprite.
  • Drshnaps for the many Kirby sprites used in the CopyCat saga.
  • Dino-Dragon-Bird-Guy for the Meta-Ridley sprites used for the Falcon Boy storyline.
  • Pelord for his contribution on whatever the heck he is in this comic.
  • The late N-finity for the Metroid sprites. [I never did show him the comic. I feel really sad about it now.]
  • And many others...in fact, mostly in these websites

There was always one thing I didn't like about sprite comics on my old forum. Sprite comic makers take the spriters for granted. If not for these guys, this comic and none of the other small-time comics would be out there. Some people would consider that as good, but I don't. If not for this comic, I wouldn't have met so many great people...and I would never have suspected of something I can do as something people would like to read. Plus, I wouldn't be here on this website if not for this comic. I wouldn't even have a website, I would bet.

So, to everyone who makes sprites, as well as those who edit [Arbok_X. Splendidly, I might add..], I personally thank each and every single one of you...you guys deserve credit.

Guest Stars

People know I don't like using guests in these comics anymore [in fact, I'm forbidding it mostly nowadays], but those who do allow me to make fun of/have fun with/give a new personality to them...I thank you. And for those who don't care that I make fun of them.......you're awesome.=P
Oh, and for those who don't even know they were on the comic...uhh...LOOK OVER THERE! *run*

Other

I'd like to thank the academy for making this possible.
I'd like to thank Kifyra for being there for me and showing support.
All my friends for being cool.
My family...who most likely will not be reading this.
My awesome web designer, Anhscruzader, for taking a job like this for free. One of the coolest guys around.=P
And...*music starts to play* Oh, wait..wait, I'm almost done...
I'd like to thank Nintendo for keeping me interested in gaming all these years...and... *music gets louder* Hey! You can't play me off on my own site!
...geez...
Just...thanks to everyone who reads these comics. Like I said before, my own creativity and love for doing comics is key, but I would never have gotten as far as I have without you guys reading the comics and "laughing". So thank you guys.

It's been a real treat to make these comics, and I hope I can continue to make them for a long time.

My advice to everyone reading this right now; If you have something you truly enjoy doing [that doesn't have a negative effect on you or people around you], then continue to do it. Don't be put down by people's opinions on it. It may suck to one person and be great to another, so don't be let down if someone doesn't like it. You can't please everyone.
Also, always remember that you can improve on everything you can do. It's not like an RPG or the Sims where a skill can be potentially maxed out and can't become better. No matter how much you may think you stink at something, you can be better if you try. In contrast, no matter how well you think you draw, you can be even better if you try.

Always remember that. This is the Internet. This is the place where magic can truly happen if you try hard enough to do it.

Also...*music plays again* DARN YOU, ORCHESTRA!! Stop tempting me!!!

I am thankful for every single one of you guys for reading the comic. For those who have been with me since comic #1 [and continue to amaze me with their resiliency] and for those who have just started to read the comics, I thank you. Hope you keep reading.
