Yikes I don't even really remember how I found WS but like Nimrod I've been a faithful reader from the very beginning (or about a month in the original strip).
Paul (and Wapsi Square) have been one of the biggest influences to start doing my own webcomics (latest venture in sig). I love how the story and style have evolved and thanking Plog every day that Monica's hair grows fast ;P
Keep going Pablo!

And it'd help me figure out how long ago it was that I first posted to Pablo's forum!

I'm one of those people with a lousy memory for where I found things, especially on the web. I'm guessing it was through a recommendation from some other webcomic, but I couldn't tell you which one to save my life.
I'm just glad I did.

If my memory does not fail me, I believe I found Wapsi when I clicked on a link from TV Tropes back in March of 2011. I it had something to do with Tina's parallel parking debacle, of all things. I started commenting a few months later, and I've been getting on your nerves ever since.
Re: How'd you find WS? (secretly & slightly on-topic)
it's a toss up really, i started reading around the fall semester of 2011, don't have a clue timewise other than i was kind of out of it between the sleep deprivation, the adled brain from crunch work in the middle of the semester, and the lack of dignity from being a procrastinator on my homework yet again. all that i remember is finding the comic somehow, not really sleeping too much for 3 days then finding myself at the end of the archives wishing it would update.
as for where that's where the tossup is, i can't decide if it was off of octopus pie, gunnerkrigg court, girl genius, questionable content, or some other big name webcomic that i couldn't go without. course it could've just been tvtropes, that is a real time waster...

I didn't so much escape as add another addiction to the list.

that's easy for me, I found Paul through Wendy Fiore I believe it was on December of last year or November, but started reading Wapsi Square until March and got hooked, I read like 3 or 4 strips before going to square one and reading the whole thing, finally caught up on late April or May I believe. I'm a Wapsioholic and proud of it.

I'm thinking I started with 9 Chickweed Lane, which led to Pibgorn, both being by Brooke McEldowney, and that led to the Pibgorn comments, populated by certain comic addicts, who posted their lists or favorites--and eventually I got hooked here.

I am really into Thedreamlandchronicles, commented a lot, and Julie's avatar made me giggle -mainly because i had a couple of big-breasted GF's- and i asked for the original comic. Been hooked since.
but, why 42?

Really? I don't think I've ever gotten someone hooked on one of my own online addictions before...certainly not inadvertently.

You know, bmonk, I'm starting to wonder if it was that way for me. I know I started with Go Comics and reading Pibgorn, but I always thought it was Dave Kellet and Sheldon that got me hooked on Wapsi.

A long time ago, I clicked on a banner ad after reading another webcomic. I don't even remember which one.
Anyway, the strip was very new back then; I don't think Tepoz had even appeared yet.

I was searching for comics that had coffee in them. My co-workers are caffeine addicts.

Re: How'd you find WS? (secretly & slightly on-topic)
There was a comment from the author of another web comic, I THINK it was 'Questionable Content' but I haven't been able to find the comment again, where they mentioned that there was this other webcomic and the author/artist drew really cute girls. Being a fan of really cute girls, I tuned in just a couple of days into the brouhaha in the Temple of the Jaguar. Two days of that and I went to the archives and did the run in three or four sittings.
And now I can't stop. (I'm even considering getting the patch)

As for when: I took a closer look at my bookmark (which I automatically click each day without giving it a closer look) just now, and it says "Wapsi Square by Paul Taylor - Friday, March 9, 2007" - so yeah, it's been a while...Leak wrote:I'm not really sure anymore how I found Wapsi Square since it's been so long - must've been a banner or a link off another site.
