Can you believe it’s been two years since Namesake started? Well, two years and a day — our anniversary is October 5. We wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for you guys! We love you so much!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Congrats you two!
Lovely pic, I hope that apple doesn’t mean that Emma is Snow White.
apples also mean knowledge ; )
Oh Emma you’re so pretty! They’re all so cutie patootie <3
CONGRATS TO YOU!! THIS STORY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BEST I’VE EVER READ ONLINE!! It is very hard for me to become so commited to a web comic, but this is one i’ve followed since the beginning and i am still surprised at the quality of work everytime i see it. AND YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY FATHOM HOW BADLY I WANT A WARRICK PLUSHY RIGHT NOW!! YOU JUST CANT!! -giggle-
Congrats!
Aww! What adorable chibis.
This is wonderful.
Congratulations on reaching a two-year-and-a-day Anniversary!! All the pages, the secret changes some of us don’t notice till later, the expansion of Baum’s Oz and the tying with Alice and other public domain fairy-tales/stories, the extra pages and the many times we come close to finding something else out or more and THEN being given an extra day’s wait . . . Thanks for all your Great work and notorious sneakiness!
Look forward to seeing how it all turns out!! And hopefully getting an actual physical copy or two . . .
WARRICK! <3
oh and CONGRAZZLES!
“We wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for you guys! We love you so much!”
And we wouldn’t have been here if this comic wasn’t so good
That’s one of the best pictures I’ve seen of Emma to date.
Happy anniversary!
Wow, how time flies! Congrats!
Congrats! Happy Anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already! Keep up the amazing work guys!
<3 keep being awesome
Wow, congratulations and thank you very much for a wonderful comic!
This picture is so pretty! Might it ever be a wallpaper?
Also, hurrah! xD Two years and may many more come! <3 You two are wonderful.
Congrats! It’s been a great two years, and a great story. Thanks for being so great.
Dunno if you read the comments, but the >>Last button doesn’t work! It just goes to the next comic.
We both read the comments, yes.
It’s working fine for me. I’m not able to proceed after this comic. Have you tried clearing your browser cache? What browser are you using?
I’m using internet explorer and I’m having the same issues with the Last>> button
And Happy anniversary!!!! I love you work!! I just started reading this comic last night and I’m already caught up!!
Alright, let me get this over to our tech boffins and see if they can replicate it. And thank you guys! *squish*

Happy birthday, Namesake! Congratulations on two years of great comic!
Just found your comic and read the archive, its awesome. And how weird is it that your anniversary is also on my son’s birthday? hmm
Bizarrely it’s my son’s birthday too!
Great job Meg and Isa for keeping us enthralled. Looking forward to much more!
Happy 2nd Birthday Namesake!
LOOK AT DEM KAYOOT CHIBIS.
Happy second birthday, Namesake! I’ve only discovered y’all in the past few months and been quietly following along since then. I really enjoy your AWESOME twists on these classic stories! Great characters, sweet ‘n lovely art, unique story- I love it.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Happy Comic Anniversary! You guys have come a long way, and I’m so glad to have been able to witness a lot of this. I look forward to having the next published volume of Namesake on my bookshelf someday. (Soon?
)
*singing the annoying anniversary song known in every applebees, dennys, etc., while holding a tiny chocolate cake* happy anniversary, happy anniversary, hap-py anniversary!
Happy 2nd Birthday. I absolutely love you’re work. I’ve showed it to some of my friends and they’ve loved it as much as I do. Keep up the amazing work.
Cutey!
You have no idea how proud and happy I am for you two.
Alice still manages to be badass as a chibi.
I guess one should expect an Alice to be badass in all shapes and sizes.
(ohohoh)
I absolutely love chibi Selva and Warrick…and Fred and Ben and Alice and Wendy and Jack and Elaine…and I really love the look of Emma…so pretty. Is it sad that I want to make little crocheted Warrick and Selva dolls?
Adorable. I started reading Namesake in March 2011 and have been back every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday ever since (yes Monday, I read them in the morning at work so the Saturday strip is usually a Monday strip for me) Love this comic, easily my favorite on the webs. Keep up the good work. (oh and come to Dragon*Con in Atlanta next year =D )
Happy anniversary (a little bit late)! This is the first time I comment here. I started reading this webcomic in July, and this webcomic are one of the things I look forward to during the week. Just keep up the good work, and continue making this great webcomic!
Well, it’s with a well-planned out piece of work like this that you get the fans you have! So, kudos!
As a matter of fact I gotta admit I’m one to root for underdogs; but that’s got nothing to do with me liking this, it deserves more than twice the fans it has now!
Well, this is where a couple hour archive binge has led me. The shock of the story suddenly hitting the present is jarring, I was so used to clicking the “next” button that it surprised me when it was gone lol. Really good stuff though, re-purposing fairy tales has been done before, but this has probably been the best use of it I’ve seen. What really makes it work though is that you have some good characters, you care about them, though the black and white nature does get confusing when multiple characters are present. Story is very interesting as well, a mixture of dark and hopeful, not my usual cup of tea, but I like the hints, promises and whatnot. You are promising quiet a lot though, I hope you continue to fulfill
Also, really like your use of archtypes as independent characters
Why thank you! We work really hard, and we think our hard work and love for the characters is what makes them so fun for everyone else.
Congratulations! I agree with Clue: this is one of the best on-line stories I have ever read.
Warning to Readers: Now that the Evil Isameg has reached the Terrible Twos, we may really be in for it.
D’oh! I totally missed this. Congrats!
Congratulations on two years~!
I’m actually a new reader (started today in fact) and had just sat down and back-read through your entire archive. This story is gorgeous, and I’m a complete fan!
Welcome, welcome
CHIBI FRED! Squee!
They’re all so cute… <3
Haha! Very cute picture.
