Louis Wu forwarded me an email he'd been sent by a gentleman named Skipp. It's a very nice email indeed, and I thought I'd post it here. Skipp also submitted a guest strip which you can see below.

MC,

My infinite gratitude goes to you for saving my sanity...

I'm a 50+ year old NASA "rocket scientist" and also an avid FPS gamer (funny that, but oddly enough there's a lot of us) that had to work a bunch of 16 hour shifts in a row. Much like policemen or firemen (and 117) my job is 1% frantic activity and 99% waiting for the results of same. Found your site while generically searching for the newest "Red vs. Blue" and read the current comic.

Count me as a captive. I was immediately held hostage by the simplicity yet depth of the 117 series. I immediately clicked on "first" and read the entire strip from day one. Helped me to pass so much of that 99% uselessness productively. Laughed my ass off out loud on occasion while other times I was reduced to "How true, how true" reflectivity. And it kept me awake.

Just wanted to thank you again for the life and vitality you've imbued 117 with and shared...I consider the strip somewhat of a CGA version of RvB...Are you even old enough to remember what CGA graphics were? Probably not...No one is anymore...

P.S. Although I perused the rest of the site and found you're not accepting any more "Guest Comics" for 117 I made one anyway (That wasted another 4 hours or so...Thanx again) and included it for your dismissal and/or disposal as you choose...

Sincerely, Skipp (or Ppla 'Epsodee - Gold)
