It was on this date Oct 31, 1993 that my favorite card and comic book shop "Cardco" closed down.
The store meant so much to me as a kid that once it closed I announced that I would be drawing a comic book in honor of it's departure.
I remember sitting there up in my room writing the first one and thinking "Am I even going to be able to finish this?!"
Well, 12 years and almost 400 comic books later I guess the answer was "Yes."
It never ceases to amaze me how much people enjoy these books. (or strips) In a way, it's kinda cool how the name "Cardco" is now remembered as a "Matt Wilkins Comic Book" instead of that little old shop I used to go to every weekend on my bike as a kid.
I'm glad it's brought enjoyment to you all and I hope it does it even more in the year to come. Have a great day folks and we'll see you tomorrow with another new strip!
