I just think that the one strip per letter of the alphabet deal is too gimmicky and a Top X strips of all time would be more meaningful.
Well, as I said in the forum thread that I linked:
For #500, what I wanted to do was an unofficial sequel to #100, The Comic Alphabet, but with just syndicated newspaper comic strips (probably just US/UK strips).
See, it's already been done before: https://www.mezzacotta.net/itoons/?comic=100

Also, doing a "Top X strips of all time" wouldn't really be a comic. That sort of thing would be better handled as an actual list/article, where you can go into detail about why each strip was important and stuff.
Doing it this way is paying homage to the traditional children's alphabet books that many people grew up with, while also being interesting to look at in its own right.
But that's just my opinion, and I appreciate you offering yours.

One gimmick that #100 did that I'm not doing is finding a panel from the strip in question where the dialogue starts with the same letter. My strip is going to just be title panels (probably from Sundays) that have the strip's name.
