      A friend of mine just had his wedding reception there. :O

      1. Joe

        AJ & Maryann! They had a great reception!

        1. Sarah

          I couldn't be there, but I heard it was swell!

    2. Serge

      Barcade the best bar in Brooklyn

  2. Gin

    Thank you very much for 400 comics.

  3. Felix

    400 excellent comics. Amazing expression on Eve's face in the fifth panel.

  4. Jimmy Gibbs

    Hahaha

    X-Men!!! Welcome to…

    DIE!!

    classic

  5. Matt B.

    Will turned down her challenge cuz he's just an X-chicken.

  6. lamelama22

    Is it sad that I knew what game that was from without the alt-text?

    Also, the alt-text is wrong. The translation was so bad that he actually says "I am Magneto! Master of Magnet!" lol.

    Probably sadder that I know that. :-/

    1. Taylor Lopez (TeaLo)

      Ya, you shoulda stopped while you were ahead lol.

  7. Aviv

    Hahaha! Last three panels are just priceless!

  8. HellSpork

    Cocky Eve is cocky.

  9. Wood

    And I sure do love to read it.

  10. CLR

    Aaaah, I do believe I've been waiting all storyline for Will to say just that. 😀

  11. Arsnof

    Congratulations! In celebration, I think I'll read them straight through this weekend. Can one man endure such Eve? I guess I'll find out.

  12. Minz

    Hahahaha, I loved the X-Men reference. Congrats on 400!

  13. Professional Mole

    Four''undred! Sweets!

    Also, every time Ning tries acting smooth I can't help but laugh. Oh, Ning, you little rascal! 😀

  14. Perry A

    NOTHING CAN STOP THE BLOB

  15. Danyell

    What character does she play as? I was already Nightcrawler.

    Thanks, Meredith for 400 comics! <3

  16. Danyell

    Oop, *always*, not "already".

  17. theredfish

    400 comics is an amazing milestone, but I can't wait for 401.

    WHAT DOES WILL WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

  18. lods of emone

    Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please let this turn out like I hope it will.

  19. Andrew

    What, with Will and Eve fucking?

    400 great comics. Thanks Mer. And Eve's face in panel 5 is priceless.

  20. Ted

    A roller rink near where I grew up had the giant X-Men arcade cabinet, with three screens and six controls. If you had enough friends, you could play as the entire team.

    I would give my left arm to find one of those now.

    1. Spider

      …then how would you play?

      1. tastyjustice

        I Lol'd.

    2. Kyle H.

      TWO screens, good sir – was a real Colossus of an arcade cabinet.

      I too had the privilege of rockin' that game as a lil' one. Sigh…

    3. lamelama22

      Just play it on MAME (multiple arcade machine emulator)! It plays perfectly, and if you get a version of MAME with Kaillera [sic?] installed, you can then play the game with other people online.

  21. Pembroke

    Nice X-Men reference there, Mer.

  22. Kendra

    Eve's description of him is perfect.

    We all know that one guy who does just that.

  23. Dvek

    Thank you so much for 400 amazing comics. We ? you!

    1. lily

      We question her..?

  24. BurntToShreds

    NOTHING MOVES THE BLOB!

  25. Matt

    Don't know what to say except congratulations and thank you, Meredith, you've brightened my life.

  26. Sela

    Scowly Eve + happy Eve = CUTE AS FUCK.

    Alls I gots to say.

  27. lily

    400! And I love this strip, Eve barely needed dialogue.

  28. Hanna

    Yay! 400! I love this comic because Hanna's name is spelled the same way as mine, and Eve reminds me of my sister. 🙂

    My prediction: Will tells Ning they can't be friends anymore, because he can't handle the emotions. :p (… what, it hasn't happened to you?)

    1. CLR

      No, I bet Will pulls a Jess (Gilmore Girls, Season 5 finale).

      1. Cri

        I hate that I know what that means.

    2. Rufus

      It seems to me that he's just going to talk about how he already regrets living with Larry. That just seems obvious.

  29. Taylor Lopez (TeaLo)

    happy 400! here's to 400 more! ;D

    I can not get enough of this comic, seriously O.o

  30. Nathanael

    Imagining 400 tiny frowns makes me laugh.

    1. Rufus

      Imagining 400 tiny frowns GIVES ME 400 INDIVIDUAL TINY SMILES ON MY FACE.

  31. Camool

    WOOT 400 COMICS! It had and shall continue to be a pleasure reading them.

  32. Jordan

    God I love this comic.

  33. Kathryn

    More like 400 huge smiles! Congrats on the milestone. 😀

  34. Dragonair

    oh no, i don't think i can wait until monday. ;_;

  35. lil

    happy 400, yo.

  36. Jambe

    Congrats on (and thanks for) 400 installments.

    Anxious to see what Will does now..

  37. Liz

    Can't wait to see what happens next!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for 400 comics! ?

  38. AlmostLiterally

    I like Eve's hair in this one. I think I always like Eve's hair.

    And wow. awkwardness in panel 5-6 is pretty much a fourth of my life is like.

  39. Tina

    Had to sign up just to say ZOMG Barcade!!!! <3

    I've been reading since the beginning — congrats on 400 and thank you!

  40. Mr. Pilgrim

    Eve's expression in panel five is the perfect blend of dorky and cocky.

    1. EG

      I think you are confusing dorky with drunk

  41. Sue Anne

    Love this comic 😀 The third last panel is one of the most amazing faces anyone has ever made in the history of comics.

  42. JayZeroSnake

    holy crap. as soon as I got home, I've read all 400 comics….shit. I have free time! D:

  43. darrylayo

    m/

    Ah, the most wonderful place in all of the land!

    That's where I'M going tomorrow night *dook dook dook dook*

  44. Ian

    oh snap.

  45. seann

    haha, with magneto's proclamation, I 1/16th suspect that theyre going to launch into a scott pilgrim style conversation outside. ""VS""

    Heh, doubt it happens in octopus pieland though. Excellent rendering of Brooklyns Finest Barcade.

  46. Mayday

    Octomeme Pie:

    At first I was like Panel 2

    But then, I Panel 3'd

  47. Damien Walder

    It's all about the Eves.

    Congratulations, M!

  48. Ruthie

    Eve. Dat face.

    DAT FACE.

  49. Mr. Pilgrim

    Is that Amiee standing next to Larry at the bar?

    1. Bigman

      No, I think that's Marigold. She's kinda wearing that same outfit since last time we saw her.

      And I have a bad feeling that if Eve turns down Will for some reason he's going to go to Aimee.

    2. Heidi

      I don't think it's Amiee. She does look like her a little, but I couldn't see Aimee wearing what the girl is wearing, even going out.

  50. Durp

    Just thought I'd let you know – I started reading last night and I managed to finish on the 400th comic. That's pretty cool.

    1. nvm88

      Herp Derp.

  51. Heidi

    puckernuts, I wish I lived in NY now.

  52. dave

    '400 tiny smiles' is a GREAT name for a collection.

  53. Kira

    Eve's face is my favorite face

  54. blu_stocking

    Yay Barcade!

    1. Shane

      I realized the same thing! Albeit several days later, and only after I had spent a good chunk of time thinking about heading in to Brooklyn to visit that lovely establishment.

  55. Leah

    400 GIANT smiles for me!

  56. Joe

    Barcade!!!!

  57. MacSimon

    I remember that game.

  58. grossgeister

    Congrats on 400 comics! Absolutely 400 smiles 🙂

  59. ZJ

    400 comics = 400 reasons to get through my masters degree!! Somehow Octopus Pie makes it all ok….Thank you Meredith:)

    1. Joe

      I can relate to that. Comics make it all ok.

  60. Lyddie

    Thanks for all 400, Meredith! This is one of my all-time favorite comics. =)

  61. El Disturbo

    The X-Men arcade game is the best!

  62. Hoshi

    I have to say… that's a pretty creepy look for Eve in that fifth panel. Like she just put her rape-face on or something. Haha.

    But I love the expressions all-together… I'm always in awe of the fact that Meredith is so capable of expressing such drastic changes in expression and doing it SO PERFECTLY. I'm envious! Haha.

  63. Dee

    so instead of working on my online Dreamweaver class or looking for a job i just spent hours, HOURS reading Octopuspie. it was engaging, to say the least. Thank you Meredith.

  64. Sarah

    I spent the last two days reading this comic. And, seriously, Eve's blunt honest made me think about my own life a little. I've been a pretty mad "yes person" for the last couple of years and now, for the first time I'm starting to feel like actually, I don't have to say yes to things and I can start being honest about what I want 🙂 I hope I can write a character that taught me what Eve taught me one day.

    Thankyou for this wonderful comic, and congratulations on the 400th ^_^

  65. Fish

    YAY 400!! =)

  66. BG

    THIS IS MADDENING

    I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

    garrrgghhhh meredittthhh suspense.

    1. Dubby

      Ditto! D:

    2. CLR

      The same!

  67. Duston

    I AM MAGNETO! MASTER OF MAGNET!

  68. The Tom

    THE BEARD WILL DEVOUR YOU

  69. junqstuff

    OK, I'm an old guy who enjoys webcomics comics and toons.

    Just caught up to the present . . . uhhh. . . Will seems to look like a burned out Ron Stoppable and Hanna resembles Dexter's sister. Or is it just me?

    Yeeeeesh, maybe it's time to go read a big history book or something.

    1. BG

      yeeaaahhh *strokes chin* maybe that's why I love mer's style so.

  70. T9SayWha

    I came back Monday, where were you 🙁 ?

  71. Juan

    when is the next comic coming is tuesday 🙁

    1. meredith

      It'll be up Wednesday! I been super busy, sorry!

  72. Rammy M

    ARGHH! I've been catching up, reading the whole thing from the beginning, and suddenly I get here and unexpectedly there's no Next Page arrow!!

    – withdrawal!! –

    it's ok, I guess I'll have to wait patiently, like everyone else. I'm sure it will be worth it.

    R

  73. Heidi

    Poor Meredith. See what happens when you spoil us?

    At the risk of being stoned to death (and not in a fun, Hannah-ish way), maybe cut it down to one day a week with three comics? I think I would go bonkers trying to upload a new comic three days a week! ;- P

  74. Nathanael

    "Welcome to you doom!" from Altered Beast would have been good. "Beware, I live!" from Sinistar would also have been acceptible.

  75. Randall Drew

    Playing catch-up! Congrats on 400+ pages of OP! X-Chicken!

    I never thought about that, after re-reading this page. The saying, “Welcome to die”, from the video game, could be a type of foreshadowing. I like it. : )
