Mike Rouse-Deane was a huge fan of the webcomic HOUSD so on the 12th February when HOUSD celebrated its 1000th webcomic strip, Mike had a week previous got together as many webcomic artists, fans, contributors to create strips, congratulation messages, etc. all to be given to the artist and creator of HOUSD, Ali Graham.

This was his first book within the webcomic world and basically messaged hundreds of artists and fans, trying to keep it all a secret from Ali whilst also getting the best strips available.

The idea was to publish the book, but Mike gave Ali the choice of doing such a thing, allowing him the PDF and the chance to do it. Ali decided to share online the strips and saved the pdf for himself. It also entered Mike into the webcomic world with a bang!
