Mom "Plays" 2 Player Comic Hits it Big

A few days ago I made a comic for Screwattack titled Mom "plays" 2 player.

It's a simple gag that I didn't think would gather much attention seeing as how none of my comics do. Boy was I wrong. When I checked Screwattack after posting it, it had 71 diggs. I thought "Hey! I might get 100 diggs and get the 1000 point prize" So I went to bed, and the next morning I check screwattack and the digg counter is at 987 diggs. At first I thought something was wrong. No way it could have gotten that many, but it was legit. At the time of typing this post, it has 2281 diggs, and a few people on screwattack have sent me private messages saying that this is the largest number of diggs any story has ever gotten on Screwattack. If so, that's pretty amazing considering it's just a comic. It was actually at the number 2 spot on the front page of digg.com in all topics for a while. I didn't get a snapshot, but I got a snapshot of it in third.

The people on digg.com aren't too happy about it though. All the comments are hateful because they're mad that a comic was more popular than their "well written" articles. It's not my fault your article is too long to keep people's attention.

So it has a crazy amount of diggs, but I've also seen it pop up on many other sites, blogs, and forums. It is by far the most popular comic I have ever made, and it pleases me to no end. It's also cool since this comic was the first appearance of Joel and Hairu's mom. (Joel and Hairu are two of my characters) It's certainly a good first impression for the character, so she will most likely become a regular now. This will probably always be my most successful comic. Oddly enough though, it hasn't gotten much attention on my deviantart.
