I been thinkin' about it, and my FIRST encounter with Wapsi Square was the Shelly sculpture on Patch Together...I was on R&R in Pattaya and was checking on the Yenny sculpture and saw her there. It was love at first sight, but being on vacation, I'd told myself that I needed to check up on her. And, of course that thought went into one of the bad sectors of my memory storage.
And I still kick myself over it, I'd murder a nun for one of those...

I have the names of two or three nuns from my time in a Catholic school that I would not mind seeing on your hit list. Unfortunately their premature departure on the Stygian ferry would not get you a Shelly figurine.

That reminds me - someone on Slashdot recently had the idea for a site called "HitStarter" - crowdfunding like KickStarter, but for, well, hits...

Old PHPBB forum I used to moderate, a user made a thread linking to the comic http://wapsisquare.com/comic/06232004/ (user used it to quip "not technically porn") around the time of Tina and Heather's first "date". Being a bit more of a webcomic junkie back then (aka regularly read WAY too many) I investigated the comic in question, became a fan of Brandi, Jacqui, & Tina, and more-or-less stuck around ever since.

I've been reading Wapsi from WayBackWhen - don't remember exactly, but i think it may have been somewhen around Monica-at-the-biker-bar.

And i honestly don't remember how i found it; it's kind of like Misfile and The Wotch - i know i found one and was archive binging and then i came to either one of the multi-artist "Day or Remembrance" pages or a guest strip that led me to the other ... but i'll be hanged if i remember which i found first.

I've found a lot of webcomics by following up links (or recommendations) on other webcomics, too.

As to who/what/where:

Sixty-something unemployable/retired in Gainesville GA.

I can't remember what I was doing last week, let alone what I was doing somewhere around ten years ago.

I'd wager a guess that I found it through a related link? Series of links? I'd read archives back then, lack the patience to keep up with daily updates, and move on.

Well, I started reading before the Golem Girls appeared: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Com ... tedIndex=0
I didn't know about forums and there was no comment section when I started reading. It was the GG's ad that made me check out the comic "Coming Soon The Golem Girls" I knew what a golem was and was intrigued by the picture. I pressed 'first' and kept going. I've always liked strong female characters and the supernatural aspect also intrigued me. Of course when the comments section appeared I got to read everyone's comments and it made it even more interesting. Everyone seemed nice and intelligent, so I kept reading the comments. I liked the black and white medium, it reminded me of The Savage Sword of Conan,which always had superior artwork to the color comics. When Jabbewonky colored one, I was intrigued and since I was learning GIMP to help out my friend with Photoshop, it challenged me to try to color one too, and it was met without derogatory comments so I have kept at it. When the comments were turned off, I was sorrowful, I would have missed the community. I was happy when a Forum was announced and decided to try and learn how to do it. It is a nice Forum, but it's so big, and I've never really browsed it all yet.

I started reading right around the time when Lily and Suze were introduced. I found it through TopWebcomics, and decided to power through the earlier chapters because it looked like Paul had taken the story in very interesting directions when I looked at the recent pages. (I've come to appreciate the early chapters with the benefit of hindsight and a better understanding of the characters, but it didn't grab me at first.)

I think i arrived about the time Amanda was photographing the girls in front of the billboard. I honestly don't recall from whence.

It's been a while. I'd ask bookworm if he recalls when I signed up for the BLC forums, but he doesn't frequent here much.

I think it was before Doubt (acinoM as we called her) appeared on the scene, so I may have actually been here for a decade or so.

I came over from one of the other webcomics I read every day/week, possibly Questionable Content, Devil's Panties, Two Lumps or Gunnerkrigg Court. Really glad I did! :D

It was on a list posted with some other comic--don't recall by whom or what the other comic was. Perhaps 9 Chickweed Lane?
