When is the new comics going to be...?

[Joe48]

Hey,

Newbie in the posting, but following from day one :)

Did I miss an announcement, or has there been no new comic for a looong time?

Thanks,

Joe

It could be anytime soon, or within several weeks. We don't really know.

I hope the Giant is ok. :vaarsuvius:

Check the current comic's discussion thread, near the end.

The first rule of "When is the comic coming out club" is never to ask when the comic is coming out...

Seriously...."when it's ready", or, perhaps "Soon", depending on who's catch phrase you want to steal.

The Giant has a non terminal health issue that prevents him from working on the comic for stretches of time. We don't know what it is. There hasn't been a consistent schedule in 5 years. It can be months between comics due to various outside influences we don't know about.

He doesn't like any further inquiries on the subject, and we should respect his privacy. Especially since speculation results in ridiculous accusations being thrown about and then "remembered" as truth.


Basically, this is completely normal for the comic, and you get used to it.

[Joe48]

Oh, I'm used to it, and know the "will-be-posted-when-ready" option.

This time, however, seemed like the longest I remember, so I guess I just wanted to confirm the Giant is OK :)

Thanks!

Joe

Dude, seriously. Don't do that. It's pretty much like pointing at retarded kid and laughting. It's not nice and certainly uncalled for. And what's more, it borders on vigilante moding.

You could at least phrase it in a nicer way.

[The Pilgrim]

It will be when the Giant finishes it and loads it up. No sooner, no later.

I hope he gets well. :smallfrown:

Damn, you beat me to it! :smallsigh:

Umm... before this gets locked, it's not "completely normal for this comic." Although there has been no set schedule for years, Rich has almost never gone more than a week or 10 days at max without posting a new comic. He has had several long breaks, nearly a month, I believe, but on each occasion, he had just finished a major arc and posted that there would be a significant break.

To date, it's been a month since #794. Far and away the longest unannounced break.

I, too, am worried.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

A week plus is the new "normal." A month, not so much. But it hasn't been quite a month yet...

Have any of the mods called Rich?

[super dark33]

Whatever hes doing, it must be REALY importent.
