General discussion about Usagi Yojimbo, the comics, the stories, the characters, collectibles, TV appearances, Stan Sakai, Space Usagi, Nilson & Hermy, and all other related topics.
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

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).

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...
With a breeze comes a storm, but then you'll all be washed away...
Ha, I'm probably older than you.
