* ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' finished ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' in 2009. Since the [[Interactive Comic|reader/player]] starts at the beginning, they have no way of knowing that there are nearly 1900 pages ahead of them unless they go to the log and scroll down the list of pages.

** ''[[Homestuck]]'' (quoted at the top of the page) topping the [[Webcomics Long Runners]] page on sheer panel count, which last estimates put around 6000, half of which is an act that was worked on for more than a year. Its wordcount is said to rival some translations of ''[[War and Peace]]'' without taking into account [[Animation Bump|3-6 minute long flash animations]] (recently there was a 13-minute one which managed to crash Newgrounds and megaupload ''in under 10 minutes'') or [[Unexpected Gameplay Change|playable]] [[Out-of-Genre Experience|flash game]] [[Sudden Videogame Moment|segments]] that can run anywhere between 5 to 20 minutes to completely explore. [[Up to Eleven|In addition,]] Hussie's sporadic but rampant update schedule and usual [[One-Man Army]] nature (since he does most of the work himself) means that by the time you catch up, he could have added any number of pages - he once claimed to be taking a break, and then updated eighty pages within the span of a week.

*** It is ''also'' worth noting that, compared to nearly every other webcomic on this page, ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' is very new, only having started in 2007. ''[[Homestuck]]'' specifically is even newer, only having been going since ''April 2009''. Did we mention [[Andrew Hussie]] is a [[One-Man Army]]?
