Early in the comic, I would occasionally accept suggestions for the comic from my friends, and during this White Space storyline one of my friends came up with the comic you see above. I figured it was good enough to include, but by the time he had suggested it I had already made all the comics for the rest of the storyline. Can you believe I actually had a cache of comics at one time? Anyway, because of the fast approaching birthday comic, that had to take place on a specific date for obvious reasons, I couldn't reshuffle any of the comic. So, instead, I decided to just shove it between the 24th and the 25th as a special comic. And I can't tell you what a pain in the ass it's been as far as programming goes, when you've gone one single comic completely out of sync with everything around it?
Anyway, you'll notice that this is the one and only comic with different initials in the corner. And no, I won't tell you what the initials stand for.
It has occurred to several people over the years that the White Space would make a pretty nifty screensaver. Unfortunately, I myself have never gotten around to actually doing anything with it, but every once in a while I'll hear about someone who has done it. In fact, I think I've got one of them around here somewhere.
Also, in a later comic, the Author appeared in an animated version of the White Space, where you can see what those afterimages are really supposed to look like.
