Let’s do some math here. The last day of September was on a comic update day, meaning October 1 was just one day off from being on an update day. So skipping straight ahead to the next update, and all the ones that follow, the month of October has exactly 13 comic days, with that last one, October 31, being on a Sunday. Just one off day would’ve ruined all this, but I not only get a comic up on Halloween day, but I get such a nice number of updates, it’s all a sign. And that leads us to the lovely Halloween Special, which shall take up the entirety of October. It may seem early now but by the time we get halfway through you’ll be seeing Christmas ads on TV, so enjoy the spookiness while you can.

Oh, but this is more than just a celebration of the best night in the world. Nope. If you could just scroll your eyes over to the side to that Fruit Basket and look at the bottom of the list, could you please tell me what you see. Oh what’s that? October 2009? That’s exactly one year ago isn’t it? That means FI turns a year old this month! When will that be? Well it’s a bit of a tricky thing to pinpoint it to one day. From the time it took me to draw my first comics, upload them onto the Internet for the first time, purchase the domain and hosting service for FI, set up the site, cry in the corner when I couldn’t get the site up overnight, and post my first official update of FI, the exact birthday for Incestuous Fruits is a bit vague. Well since I can’t decide where to start, let’s make the entire month of October our one year anniversary special!

But wait, we already have something going on in October don’t we? Well, I guess I’ll just have to make a 13 part anniversary special Halloween comic! And guess what, the very first comic in the special is comic number 150. Can you believe it’s been 150 comics already? October is the greatest month ever! Knowing my luck next year will have everything be off by one day, but 2010 has been super convenient and I’m not letting it go to waste, so let’s get started!

Oh, but the good news just keeps coming. Today also marks our very first fan work! If the two or three of you who feel like drawing stuff for me is worth the effort feel like contributing, you’re welcome to email your own fanart along with any other name or links you want me to plug for you cause you’re all so awesome and got me past my first year of comic making. Can you believe a year ago I was 17 year old nobody, and now, one year later, I’m an 18 year old nobody, with a cult following! Thank you all so much and enjoy your comics and cocktail and all the free fruit punch you can drink, cause we earned it!

And on a lesser note, I got a decent spam blocker so I can probably go back to not having to manually approve each individual comment if you guys would like. If I get no comments on that I’ll just leave it as is then since no one seems to mind apparently. But hey, it’s a super month of Octobery goodness! Everyone get out your mugs of cat beer, give your lolis a big loving hug, and toast to a job well done. To Fruit Incest, Fruit Incest and lolis!
