    [wild applause] Congratulations! May this be the first of many.

    Your strip has very quickly become an important part of my morning reading. Gotta have something to balance out (drown out?) all the cr*ppy news these days!

    Has it been a year already?

    Congratulations, well done!

    I second Andreas, you've created something unique and now it's hard to imagine the comics page without the Otterloops.

    Long may they wave! Or live! Or exist...?

    Congratulations!
    And when is the darn Washington Post going to put you in the paper daily?
    And is it me, or does Beni look like a little Kim Jong Il?

    Congratulations!

    Brian, Cul de Sac is in fact finally in the WP; they snuck it in there when Single and Looking (nee Out of the Gene Pool) folded.

    A very merry birthday to the Otterloop clan! It's only a matter of time before Alice joins Snoopy at the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

    For years I looked for your illustrations throughout the Washington Post. Then came CdS. Then this blog.

    It just gets better and better.

    Thank you.
