The real story that inspired today’s strip:

Back in college, the real Reggie got a bit fed up with my brother. We were all at a party having a good time, but Brian decided to bust Reggie’s balls a bit – he would try to distract Reggie from the game of darts he was playing by flicking chips of ice at him. Despite being blind, Reggie enjoyed playing and if you pointed him in the right direction and informed him of the general hight of the board, he was pretty accurate.

“Brian,” Reggie warned my brother, “flick one more ice chip at me, and I’m going to throw this dart at you.”

Brian scoffed. Reggie was blind, after all. Brian was across the room and a moving target. He felt pretty safe. So he sent one last ice chip flying for Reggie’s head. It lobbed one big arc into the air and landed in Reggie’s eye. I mean, square in the eye.

Reggie spun around, paused for a moment, staring out into nowhere. Brian let out a loud guffaw and Reggie immediately turned towards him and flicked the dart…which impaled itself snugly in Brian’s left bicep.

Nobody butsted Reggie’s balls much after that.

I just wanted to wish Image Comics a very happy belated 20th birthday.

Thank you so much for believing in PvP and supporting the strip and leading me to so many personal and professional achievements. I’ve made so many friends and marked so many items off my bucket list because of Image.

Every single Image comics founder, even those who have moved on from Image, have always taken the time to say a nice word to me at cons and be supportive and kind.

Image comics remains the best place for independent comic book creators to break into the industry. I will always be grateful.

Happy Birthday, guys!
