Now We Are Six

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!Excuse me while I toot my own horn here for a moment...

BLART BLOOT WAH WAH BLARRRRR

(looks in confusion into horn of trumpet a la Gonzo)

So, now that I've done that, how about a pop quiz: what cute 'n' fuzzy phenomenon debuted on the World Wide Web six years ago and has delighted billions through witty and clever banter and comedy ever since that day in 2005?

No, it's not YouTube. Sheesh. I have never been issued a cease and desist injunction by the owners of major movie, TV, and music studios! (Yet.)

In other words, it's time to wish myself a Happy Sixth Blogiversary! (You can too, if you wanna!) On this day in 2005, all those years ago, this little puppet-town cow-blog opened for business, and I've been delighted to invite you by for a cup of hot cocoa (with minimarshmallows) and a good giggle at a comic book or some other pop culture phenomenon. As we close our fiscal year and finish up the tax paperwork to send to the IRS (Internet Re-Blogging Service), shall we take our usual year-end survey of my favorite posts of May 26, 2010- May 25, 2011? Yes, let's!



As always, thanks to each and every one of you for reading, commenting, linking and laffing at my posts. A extra-special salute of the hoof to my good pals The Bureau Chiefs who let me advise on and help out with the comedy publishing sensation of 2011, Write More Good, now available at all fine bookstores near you! (And a few nasty ones.) Buy one! Buy several! Buy one for the dog!

With even more thanks to Hank McCoy, the Warriors Three, and the Guy Freaking Out on the Cover of Action Comics #1, I'd like to wrap up this self-congratualatory post with a Special Blogiversary Six Ten of a Kind, celebrating Comics Oughta Be Fun's anniversary with a big celebration of the number six!























So, it's all over except for the eating of the ceremonial cupcakes. Enjoy yours, and be sure to come back next year when I'll maybe get a chance to feature this cover:




Until then, don't forget: Comics Oughta Be Fun! Isn't that right, Superman?

Congrats on your continued success in the best comics related blog by a little stuffed Bull. *sniff* Sorry - got a little teary eyed there.

But great job in coming up with all this wealth of information. i scratch my head how you do it some days, but it's always entertaining. And the hidden jokes in the picture tags (thousands by now?) are the icing on the blogcake.

Congrats, Bully! Happy blogbirthyday.

May I add: I wish to hell there had been a second issue of The Power of 6.
