I’m sure that’s what these people got together to commemorate and no other events at all.

Remind me again how that started?

A shitty comic.

An act of self-indulgence.

A desperate cry from an attention starved individual.

Take your pick.

Who would have thought that a thing called a “comic” would be funny?

It’s not like serious works of fiction using the same format would need a separate term like “graphic novel” or anything. That would never happen.
