Just sent off the last page of numbercruncher. Thanks to everyone who's supported us by buying the meg.

Feel a little emotional... *sniffle*

It'll be a big miss for us too PJ, it's an excellent, excellent read.

You've got a trade paperback coming out haven't you?

Yeah, ive really enjoyed numbercruncher- it's never been a chore to read, has been genuinely clever and the art has stood up to repeated closer examination- which isnt true of the majority of (non-prog) strips ive come across of late. A trade edition would be very welcome.

I think it's got the best feedback of anything I've done so far - hopefully that means it's good. Or everyone feels sorry for me...

It's the best thing in the Meg at the moment. 

I will be getting the trade if it sees the light of day - but the intro pages have to stay as they are ace!

There's a load of music that I'm old enough to remember but have NEVER seen the videos for. That's one of them. Hard to imagine that's how people dressed, but there it is...

Definitely deserves a trade. Been the highlight of the Meg for me.

I admit I wasn't keen on the series at first, but it's grown on me, to the point where it's among the best things in the Meg right now. The storytelling's very clever, although I'm less keen on the constantly fruity language. Some nice art too. Looking forward to the conclusion.

How clever is Number Cruncher?
Just read this in the latest meg, building up to a great finale. Now this I didn't perceive happening.
A big thumbs up all round.

The only way to make Numbercruncher better is to write a letter to the Meg saying how good it is, and receive a free book as a result.

That's what I did. YAAAAAS!

What are the prospects of a trade? It certainly something I'd like to get (not being a Meg buyer). I guess its too to say at this stage it as its creator owned I was wondering if either of the creators have early plans?
