Site News: Help Desk Turns 12
Today is Help Desk's 12th birthday. 12 years ago today, Trevor Smith published the first Help Desk comic in the third issue (I think it was the third issue) of OS/2 e-Zine!, a scrappy little online publication for the not-yet-abandonded-by-IBM OS/2 operating system. OS/2 e-Zine! is now, sadly, no longer in publication... but Help Desk continues its Quixotic windmill-tilt against the computer industry.
Also, I just realized I have been webcomicking for a third of my life. That's a pretty big chunk of my memory devoted to crudely-drawn clipart and dry one-liners. No wonder I can never find my keys...
Update: Help Desk first appeared in the sixth issue (April 1996), though it started appearing in its own archives area at the end of March... so the archives were published first. :)

Happy birthday Helpdesk!
And may you have many more! Helpdesk was also my first webcomic...and I soon learned not to read it in the library if I didn't want people staring at me while I was laughing.
Congratulations on 12 years
Congratulations on 12 years of taking the p*** out of the computer industry!
Would you believe, that I was only three when this started? I only started reading it last year, though...
Sending an e-cake....
(singing woefully off-key....) "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, you've kept us all laughing, Happy Birthday to you!" An official e-cake with 12 e-candles is on its way to you. May your wish come true. Live long and prosper!
Congratulations!
Congrats on your dozenth anniversary, and here's to many more!
As your birthday present, I give you a koan:
How do you get Doom to play with sound under OS/2?
HB, Chris
Happy Birthday :D
I've know the site since 2005, but I'm glad to say I'm lifeless enough to have not only read the full archives, but saved a copy on my computer :D
should you ever need a backup, let me know :D
and happy birthday! Many more years of samestylebutfunny jokes, Chris!
