Make a joke without offending anyone challenge.

[eh]

James has really improved over the years from making web comics on the internet to having a Netflix show

[crackent]

It’s weird seeing James explain some of his history since I guess there are a significant amount of viewers that weren’t around in the much earlier days of theodd1sout. It’s the most soul crushing realization i’ve had that tim is actually passing

[meeptoons]

homestuck references!!!

James really is the definition of growth

[dawesome_sauce]

Your inclusion of "Loss" was beautiful and I award you all the points for integrating it into this animation.

[Sandymations]

Calvin and Hobbes was truly one of the best comics of all time

[InfamousSwoosh]

i know all you kids probably don’t know what Calvin and Hobbes is but i highly recommend it. James was being serious it’s probably one of the best comics to ever exist, i wouldn’t be doing youtube without it

[AzuraBlackHeart]

Major props to everyone who takes the time to create and post webcomics. i was thinking this the other day when Lackadaisy posted the first episode of their animated series. Creators work so hard and the stories can be so funny and wonderful, I'm glad more of them are getting picked up for shows

[arthurtheboy]

James' hand drawing skills are getting better and better day by day

[crichards]

I absolutely love the fact that "Garfild" has canonically become your pet, same pointy ears and adorably derpy face from the original Baby-James hand-drawn comics. 😂❤

[Arrow]

James really is the definition of growth, he went from a web comic creator to a creator with a Netflix show. Seriously I don't believe there are many artists out there, like him .

[acnyc]

I literally grew up with funny comics, like Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, Dog Man, Squish, and Babymouse, and got inspired to make my own comic series called Blob because of the inspiration. And this vid definitely inspired me to keep making them, cuz I've been doing it since October 2015. Thanks for the motivation!

[chilled]

5:10 didn't fucking expect a trigun refernce, and a vashwood one at that, to pop up here in all places

[smtoonturkce]

*I don’t know if I should be happy or horrified that James knows about iFunny’s existence*

[hepencao]

The fact that throughout the years he’s gone from music in the videos and bigger heads to full on animation just shows how much James has grown

[HONESTUCK]

4:02 THE FUCKING SCALEMATE ON THE SHELF

[glowsicksinatrenchcoat]

watching this while writing/storyboarding my storyheavy comic was very encouraging

[keplersb]

*DIRECT* HOMESTUCK MENTION RIGHT IN THE OPEN OH MY GOD. this video was absolutely glorious because somehow I got all the references. and I mean All. every single one gave me a chuckle honestly . you're good at what you do.

[Ayan]

The first ten seconds of this video described my relationship with art perfectly 😭
