Our very own Tom Siddell has just quit his job to work on Gunnerkrigg Court full time, so i think a congratulations from us fans is appropriate! (At least those of us who are also forum-goers) So: Tom, you've made an amazing comic, and i hope you'll continue to enjoy working on it as much as i enjoy reading it, and that you'll be able to live well off of your hard work. +1 internets to you and good luck with this.

Here, here! Congratulations Tom, your announcement was such a happy surprise this morning, I'm so thrilled for you. I know it must be terrifying at the same time but Gunnerkrigg Court is more than good enough to earn you a living, you've just got to squeeze some pennies out of your readers Good on you, Tom!

All this time, I had assumed from his impeccable adherence to schedule that he already worked on the comic full time without distraction. My mind is now blown.
Congratulations, Tom!

WE BELIEVE IN YOU TOM!
I'm starting a new, high paying job next month and I hereby pledge to send some of my first pay check your way. It's the least I could do in return for the years of entertainment this comic has given me.

Congratulations, Tom! I think everyone who writes stories must dream of the day when they can do what you just did - do it full time for a living.

My word! That's a big step to take. Congratulations, sir, and best wishes.
And just in case it's not being said often enough, thank you for all the work you put into this thing we enjoy, that, speaking for me at least, has become as integral to the day as morning coffee, and has actually displaced morning coffee as the first most important thing to do at all three days a week. Oddest sounding compliment I made in a long time but ..caffeine junkies will understand.

Congratulations, Tom! I know you've expressed concerns about how much money you actually make from Gunnerkrigg Court in the past, but I wish you all the best in becoming a full-time webcomic-making-guy!

Well, I've bought every Gunnerkrigg book bublished so far, and I'm going to continue doing so in the foreseeable future. Here's for hoping that the project is as succesful financially as it is artistically.

But.. but.. we already get the comic once every weekday. How could things possibly get more awesome?
My mind is blown.

Congratulations, Tom. I've been reading Gunnerkrigg ever since it was linked to by Questionable Content back in Fall 2008, and it has pretty much been my favourite comic ever since. Best of luck in your endeavors.

Congrats, Tom! Just realised I've been reading this comic for almost 5 years (commenting and being generally trollish for 3) and I still pop up every other weeknight at 11PM sharp to check for each new page like clockwork. If that's not a sign of quality I don't know what is. Thanks so much for all the entertainment over the years, mate, and here's hoping all goes excellently for you in the future! P.S. In 5 more years I fully expect to be on this same board making the same sorts of ridiculous speculations on some far-off plot point that I never even dreamed of and getting proven wrong in new and deliciously unexpected ways. You better make it happen, mister. After all it's your job now.

Hey, if this means that the comic is going to get even BETTER, then more power to you. I look forward to the craziness you will unleash.
