Unless I'm mistaken, we'll hit Unshelved strip #2000 sometime next week. I'll do a little inventory and come up with the exact date so that the cable news networks can start their big promotional buildups.

To celebrate I've begun building up a strip buffer. I'm currently halfway through drawing Friday's strip. A buffer of 1.5 strips isn't that much, but it's about 2.5 more than I've had recently, so I'll take it.
