Today's strip marks a bit of a milestone (for me, at least)

[Flame of Anor]

I started reading the comic while it was in its hiatus after #484. While I was making my archive binge, I was actually worried that the comic had been finished (since #484 has the rather final-sounding title "At the End of the Day" and it wasn't updating). Of course, it wasn't the end, as I soon realized--much to my relief! Since that time I've been eagerly awaiting each new strip, which has never disappointed. And now we've just seen strip #968--there have been exactly 484 strips since #484. I'm privileged to have been a part of this community for half of the comic's existence, and I'd love to stick around for 484 more strips (or even 968!). But however many more there are to come, I'll be happy to experience them together with all of you. Thanks, Rich, for everything.

That's pretty cool! I will definitely second the message of thanking The Giant for everything. Since I started reading this at #918, I don't know if we'll ever get to the point were that this is half way, but if we did that would be pretty cool.

Without a doubt, message thirded. I can't remember when I started, but I caught up around #917. I've been reading OOtS ever since.

Ditto, sort-of-thing.

ISTR I started reading somewhere in the mid-300s. And now look, around 600 strips and seven years later. That's about 85 strips a year, or one strip every 4-and-a-bit days.

Wow.

I started with the books before I went to the online strips. I can't remember exactly where it was I caught up, but it was somewhere during DstP.

I started somewhere around 950. I was on a trip, so I read all of the archives up 'til then in about a week. Binge-read indeed.

I've been reading since May or June, but it seems a lot longer than that. OOTS becomes an immersive experience after a while.

Congrats on your long journey, Flame!

Since we're sharing, I started reading during the hiatus between Don't Split the Party and Blood Runs in the Family. Which probably explains a lot.

I feel old now...

I started reading somewhere after Order made it out of Durokan's dungeon.
