Hey, everyone. I bet you’re all wondering where I’ve been the last week, so here’s what happened – I came down with one particularly nasty case of influenza. In fact, I caught influenza A and B simultaneously. Add in a chronic health condition, and it makes for an absolutely miserable week. I just got back to drawing today, and thought I could at least get 5he next comic up a day early so you’ll know I’m not, you know, dead.
Anyway, how about some new comics to read this week?
Gifts of wandering ice – Sci-fi story about ancient things people find in melting icebergs and the apocalypse that, surprisingly, made humanity better.
Black Shallows: The world is quite literally falling apart. With ever increasing amounts of land collapsing into the water, the search for answers leads to a secretive group of people who can seemingly travel through dirt and time.
Spare Keys for Strange Doors: Two experts in the supernatural help ordinary people with their extraordinary problems. Specialities include visitations, disappearances, compulsions, manifestations, transformations and removal of uninvited guests.
broken is a fantasy/horror story about a zombie kid befriending a fairy general and trying to deal with guilt, grief, and PTSD. This is complicated by eldritch abominations, a genocidal dictator, the dictator’s wife, and a panic-induced exit from the last known bastion of civilization. Contains graphic violence (including suicide), body horror, and the occasional flashing image.

Yay! You’re back! Sorry you got nailed with a double (triple?) whammy but glad you are staggering (striding? dancing?) back to the land of the living. I feel like I’ve been dodging bullets in the K classroom I’ve been in. They cough on you, sneeze on you, breathe on you. Thankfully, there’s a sink in the room and I wash my hands many times a day although I feel like a hazard suit would be better protection. To further healing I advise – cat (or pet or loved one), blankets and warm beverage. 🙂 Stay well and thanks for another great update.

“That’s a lie and you know it”…. indeed, I think we all remember the incident in question.

Yep…
Noone is capable of accurately faking the pain of a hit to the knarks IRL

But was that him or the clone?

Good point, but I don’t think so. The timeline isn’t entirely clear, but Ultimo told Claw about the invasion six months out, and the Convict-Con scene seems to have followed that pretty closely – whereas the clone showed up about two months before the invasion.
So no, it was almost certainly this Ultimo who got zapped.

Nice to know you’re feeling better! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Loving the comic and so glad you posted Broken. I was thinking about it the other day and could not remember the name.

Both Flu strains? How did you manage that? Are you cursed.. no wait. How did you Survive? Are you a zombie now? Oh! Are you a god? Either way, glad you are on the mend. Thanks for this awesome comic by the way. I think I’m going to binge re-read it after I finish the comic I just bought today.

Just re-read everyth… wait a second. Didn’t I put fake html tags…. Oh, hey there’s a handy little thing listing allowed html code. Well, just pretend there are little tags notating “begin Gozer voice” and “end Gozer voice” before and after the “Are you a god?” bit in my previous post. But dang, I can’t believe I read the whole archive in a day. That’s pretty good considering I was working today.

Wa ha ha ha ha! That’s hilarious!

Ultimo, one of those bolts shut up SCARVOK forcefully. No shame in admitting some pain, here. Good to have you back, Zap. I’ll admit, I was a bit concerned.

Looks like Ultimo knows how to push Claw’s buttons. ^_^
