NPC's first strip. The characters look….different.
I posted the first NPC comic one year ago today. This is usually where I’d say it’s hard to believe it’s been a year, but it’s not really. It’s been an exciting year! I’ve learned a lot about making comics, and the NPC readership continues to grow. Thank you so much for your continued support. I look forward to bringing you many more years of NPC comics.
Want to give NPC a birthday present? Telling others is the best way you can support the comic right now. Share it on Facebook, or another favorite social networking site, tell your guild, blog about the comic, or even tell someone IRL about it. The more NPC grows, the more time I can put into it.
Thanks everyone! 
Happy Birthday NPC, and congratulations Mary! You illustration really has developed in this short period of time.
Happy anniversary! I posted a link to the first comic on facebook, hopefully that will get some interest. NPC Comic is really great, you’re doing an awesome job!
Good idea, Maevrim! I’ve been using an avatar, but a birthday link is better.
Many happy returns, Mary, to you and all your characters!
Hard to believe it’s been a year. Keep up the good work!
Thanks everyone. Especially for the links!
Happy birthday! Your comic skills sure have developed a lot. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations!
Can’t believe I’ve been along for ride for this long 
Like others have said, your art has really improved and your writing is as comfortable and insightful as ever 
One year! Wow. Congratulations.
Here’s to many more.
Happy Birthday, and wow look how much it has come along in just a year, congratulations.
Happy birthday!! You’ve done an amazing job and have made me laugh all year =) Thankyou so much Mary! Keep it up xoxo
Happy birthday.^^ I just reread your first comics and realised that you seemingly pulled out of making ingame strips (or strips that blend reality and game). I really would like to see some of those again, especially of Star Trek Online.
