Usagi Yojimbo issue numbering

By my estimates, issue 131 is the 185th issue (Fantagraphics + Mirage + DH, not counting one-shots, specials, etc.) or 191st (including one-shots).
Fantagraphic Books 1-38
Mirage Studios 1-16
Dark Horse 1-131
total = 38 + 16 + 131 = 185
With one-shots:
Green Perssimmon
Color Special 1-3
Summer Special
Yokai
Total = 6
Total with one-shots = 191
Has there ever been any incentive to renumber the issues with the big number 200 coming up soon? I don't mean renumber old issues, but just jump numbering sequence to match up with 200 like Marvel/DC has done with their older titles get around big numbers like 500 or 600, etc.
Is there any plans for the 200th issue? Like maybe double size 48p

The Summer Special doesn't really count as it's a compilation of previous stories... all the others are definitely unique though.

I think The Summer Special had a new 15 page story titled The Confession.

Yeah, you may need someone with a better knowledge of the one-shots/specials or UY editor (or Stan) to do the official counting, but either way, we're getting close to the 200th issue (within the next 6-12 months or so).

Sorry to sound like someone worried for the future of our youth, but what kind of math are they teaching these days?
1 - 38 ( 1 to 38 ) = 39?
1 - 16 = 17?
1 - 131 = 132?
C'mon, that's just - just - whatever.............
Never mind better knowledge of the one shots and specials. I'll settle for standard arithmetic.

What about those early appearances in Albedo and Critters?

The Confession was unique to the Summer Special?

Hmmm... Stan is correct! My memory is crumbling in my elder years... I guess, in a way, this labels it sufficient to be included.
As for the arithmetic, I wasn't going to comment on it, but someone else did...! So we're up to 191 then, issue #140 apparently will be the 200th "individual" issue of Usagi by my calculation...

Ha, I'm probably older than you.
I was over thinking the counting process by double counting issue number 1s. Updated original post.
