Webtacular World Issue # 100!!!! November 1, 2015

Greetings Webtaculators! Welcome to the very first hundredth issue! We here at Webtacular World have done very few things 100 times, so this is a pretty awesome milestone. We would give you some stats, but our relative laziness prevented us from tracking anything important. Thanks for being part of this crazy experiment.

A few things before we get going- Brian was a Vengeful Lobster Fairy for Halloween this year.
