I sure as hell hope he just sticks with drawing out another comic; Celebrating what should be the 2000th strip by putting up something filler just sounds ridiculous to me, and doesn't even count. It leaves it as 1999 strips.

It depends how old you are, as well, don't forget.

Well, 500 wasn't special (it started The Talk, but was nothing in itself), nor was 1000. 100 was, slightly (he commented that he specially made it longer, and showed some skin); and then there was 666, of course.

It would be pretty amusing to me if Jeph counted (or had someone else count, I dunno) the filler/guest strips he did, then subtracted those from the total, and did something special on the next large round number of the remainder, which would be all Jeph-drawn non-filler QC strips. I sincerely doubt this will happen, but like I said, it would be amusing, since I doubt many (I won't say no one has) have kept track of this number.

This just makes me wonder whether there's an Alternian equivalent to Hot Topic. And whether a certain someone used to shop there.

Robots don't count I'd say- not because they aren't AI's but because we think of them as robots first, then consider the contents. C3PO is inherently diluted by being paired with R2D2 (who I'd rate the as the more famous) and by being consistently referred to as a droid. HAL, however, was the first AI consistently identified as such in a popular piece, and had no body to block recognition of that intelligence. It's so iconic the Droid (ha!) mimics the glowing red optical sensor. If any will be mentioned it will be the one associated with a number that's 5 strips away.
Both movies were well before my time and I haven't even seen A Space Odyssey in one sitting, so I think I duck the 'depends how old you are' issue- if I held to it, I'd be vouching for Agent Smith.

What? Completely changing the dynamic from Boy and Girl with Sexual Tension(tm) to something entirely different wasn't special? What exactly would have rated as special then, Faye stabbing Marten and the series shifting to a courtroom drama? (The detective is a KawaiiPC, the prosecutor is a mad scientists daughter. They Fight Crime.) 1000 was special by virtue of Jeph saying before and after that it was special and having fanservice. Also, don't forget 1337.
