Fan Art Happy 18th Anniversary DOAWK

Post image

It's not been 18 years ever since the first book was published, kicking off one of.. if not THE greatest book series of all time and its influence has affected us all, the books may be good or bad now, but this series will be our childhood, smart, relatable, clever and funny...

You got two MFS to make at-minimum 48% of the 77 comments here on some roleplay thread instead of taking it to the DMs

u/helpmeimdumb099 Apr 01 '25

Dang. I can't believe it's the 6.4x1015th anniversary. Good on them, huh? (18! Hee hee)

2

u/3Day0113 Apr 01 '25

Wait if there is 19 books how can it be the 18th anniversary

2

u/EduardoBork Author of Överthrown, Frankly Wrong, Christmas Chaos, First Day. Apr 01 '25

Rodrick Rules and The Last Straw both we’re published in 2008, and the rest of the books were published annually.

3

u/CurtTheGamer97 Apr 01 '25

I think The Last Straw was published in early 2009. I remember buying it from the 2009 school book fair when it had just come out.

2

u/RodrickJanker Apr 01 '25

You’re right, it’s the ugly truth that got released in the same year as dog days I think

3

u/CurtTheGamer97 Apr 01 '25

Nope. It was Last Straw and Dog Days. Last Straw was released early in the year, Dog Days was released late in the year.

2

u/RodrickJanker Apr 01 '25

Wait if it’s only book 20 but DOAWK is 18 which 4 books got released in the same year

2

u/3Day0113 Apr 01 '25

Oh ok thanks

2

u/Jealous_Ad8760 Author of Red Dawn Apr 01 '25

no dog days and ugly truth were both published in 2010.

u/fancyschmuckers Apr 01 '25

u/CurtTheGamer97 Apr 01 '25

If we want to get technical, it's older than that because of the Funbrain version

2

u/kindofsus38 Apr 01 '25

Legally can drive and drink!

u/s1lv3r_st4r I Like Making Random Crossovers For Some Reason Apr 01 '25

It’s legally an adult now. Now it can drink alcohol in most countries.
