Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I’m sorry for disappearing for a couple months there, but I have a pretty good list of excuses for not working on this comic that stretches all the way back to November. However, all the time-consuming stuff is out of the way and I all I have right now is a fairly easy-going class schedule that will more than allow me to get some one on one time with the photoshops and get more comics out there. Friday updates begin again and I’m going to try and go up to 2-a-week like the good old days before shit started piling on.
Understandably, all my advertisers seem to have stopped advertising and that’s the default image because it’s prettier than a white and blue YOUR AD HERE image. I’ll get that running better after I’ve cleared out all the other cobwebs that have settled in during my absence xD
Ears extra pointy, teeth extra sharp, tail a-wagging, and CHRIMSON GLOWING RED EYES! Mother always said if it’s that much fun it can’t be safe or healthy.
And Laz seems very happy about his newly discovered ability to set everything on fire and such (just guessing – could not see much with all the smoke). The Aryan elf does not look so happy however.
After weeks of waiting and wondering exactly how this is going to turn out…
That final look on Laz makes this all worth it.
I laughed out loud at that; thank you.
Woohoo, an update! Glad you’ve returned, I really love this comic and want to see where the plot leads.
Lazarus’ face in the last panel is to die for!! <3
It’s been said before. A zillion times. But it is worth saying again.
ALl that time, waiting, waiting, waiting…. AND THAT LOOK MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE. Both of them, really. I was wondering when Laz would figure it out – it was actually foreshadowed MUCH MUCH earlier, but he didn’t realize it – too busy escaping from monkey-people. I can’t wait to see what he does next… can’t wait to see what happens next…. I lvoe this. I love it, I loveyou, and I”m glad you’re back~ Love in the fangirl-totally-awesome way, not the creepy-stalker-declaration-of-love-through-comment-box way.
I could just hear that kid squeeing and cackling like some chibified evil overlord that just found his brand new favorite death ray. It’s like watching Mythbusters when Jamie Hyneman cracks a grin and begins to laugh. XD
Yes! The hiatus is over!
PS: Love the look on Laz’s face. My mother always told me, if the idea of doing something makes me grin for 15 second or more I’m to assume I’m not allowed to do it.
Only greed maddened souls were destroyed in the making of this comic. To be fare I have a mild case of pyromania and if I was in his position I would be giggling like mad as well.
Welcome back! Pyromaniacs unite! Recovering pyromaniac here myself. Oh, how I miss those days of torching giant stacks of useless paperwork my indentured high-school AP English class forced me to undertake!
Welcome back! Good to see you updating again. If I can make a couple recommendations:
1: Do not try to jump straight back to two-a-week. Instead, stick to one-a-week–while using any week you can manage a second strip to build up a buffer. Once you have a buffer of at least 12 strips, THEN shift over to updating two-a-week. That will give you plenty of lead-time if things get hectic again to keep the steady pace going–steady updates build readership (and attracts advertisers) better than erratic ones, even if the erratic schedule produces more.
2: Another option, of course, is to go the ‘bonus donation strip’ route–keep a running donation meter, and when a certain amount (whatever helps justify the extra effort and time needed) gets hit, reset and post a bonus strip that week, on top of whatever schedule you can maintain without burning out. This seems to be the best middle-ground between “Pay me before you can read my magnificence!” (which really only works for porn comics, it seems) and “PleasepleasePLEASE hit the Donate Now Button!”
3: I suggest that you make an “Advertise Here” ad that features your characters, instead of the generic whitespace or just using the ad that’s there now. It makes it more aesthetically pleasing, AND gets the message across to folks who want to advertise. Lilith holding a kitten saying, “Buy advertising here, or the kitten gets it” might get some attention, at least.
All of these are offered in the spirit of wanting to see you rich, famous and surrounded with sex-slaves. Again, welcome back!
HUZZAH!
P.S. the ad on the page is advertising this comic…..
Understandably, all my advertisers seem to have stopped advertising and that’s the default image because it’s prettier than a white and blue YOUR AD HERE image. I’ll get that running better after I’ve cleared out all the other cobwebs that have settled in during my absence xD
Welcome back, glad to see your return, you have been missed.
Thanks! I missed working on the comic, trust me!
best evil grin EVER
I sure hope our elven friend there doesn’t suffer too many complications from all that smoke inhalation.
HaHA this is an excellent way to return to the comic. I am going to imagine that he spent the entire comic hiatus running around burning things.
This is now canon.
Fanfictioners! Get on it!
Ears extra pointy, teeth extra sharp, tail a-wagging, and CHRIMSON GLOWING RED EYES! Mother always said if it’s that much fun it can’t be safe or healthy.
I am seeing a combo of Richard fwooshiness and Hctib’s size here. And the shrill eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Oh my god, that KILLED me!
One is glad to be of service… to fwoosh.
Yay, you’re back! Love that look on Laz’s face in the last panel.
It’s good to be back! Also good to burn things.
The wait?
Totally. Worth. It.
I *LOVE* the look on laz’s face!
I think this is the best page I’ve drawn so far xD
YAY!!!
I know right?!
Oooooh! Habemus update! Cool!
And Laz seems very happy about his newly discovered ability to set everything on fire and such (just guessing – could not see much with all the smoke). The Aryan elf does not look so happy however.
Hurray! Awesome that you/re back! We missed you too! Glad to hear that things are settling down for you too.
After weeks of waiting and wondering exactly how this is going to turn out…
That final look on Laz makes this all worth it.
I laughed out loud at that; thank you.
I’m really happy about how this one turned out. Time to start a-workin’ on getting more done!
If i found out i would have had the same face as his in the last panel
oops meant to add in fire proof to the comment above
Woohoo, an update! Glad you’ve returned, I really love this comic and want to see where the plot leads.
Lazarus’ face in the last panel is to die for!! <3
I think that something literally has to die to get that particular expression out of him. Also, thank you!
Just the look of joy on his face. ecip
Epic. Glad to see you back
The look on Laz’s face = priceless. lol
For everything else, there’s fwoosh.
That face. So funny. I missed this comic.
I can just tell that you had fun drawing his face. I’m right aren’t I?
Glad to see you back!
A glorious return indeed. The look on their faces are amazingly well done.
It’s been said before. A zillion times. But it is worth saying again.

Oh geez, Loz looks wayyyy too happy lol XD
OMG, that FACE!!! BWA-HA-HA!!!
I could just hear that kid squeeing and cackling like some chibified evil overlord that just found his brand new favorite death ray. It’s like watching Mythbusters when Jamie Hyneman cracks a grin and begins to laugh. XD
it seems laz is starting to see the benefits of his situation. Glad you’re back.
He looks waaay to proud of himself there, poor nazi elf >.<
Glad that you’re back!
YAY you’re back!
Welcome back, welcome back, your fans are eager to have you.
Love the expressions, thar. Laz looks positively giddy.
OMG! I love Laz’s expression. XD Also, great to see you back, man!
Yes! The hiatus is over!
PS: Love the look on Laz’s face. My mother always told me, if the idea of doing something makes me grin for 15 second or more I’m to assume I’m not allowed to do it.
The expression on Laz’s face is freakin priceless! Keep up the good work!
All’s well that burns well…

Laz’s face. Thet itself was worth the wait…
that face could be very meme-tastic very soon…
lol epic face
…I’ve been waiting quite a while for this.
It was worth it.
PS: During hiatus I checked this at least three times a week. Love the comic, glad to have ya back.
Now let’s see how long it takes for him to pull a page from Dan McNinja’s playbook, as seen here.

ha ha ha ha ha, oh my god, I love Laz’s expression
He kind of, to me at least, looks like Charby, from Charby the Vampirate. I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I can sort of see it
Only greed maddened souls were destroyed in the making of this comic. To be fare I have a mild case of pyromania and if I was in his position I would be giggling like mad as well.
Glad to see your back! I love the look on Laz’s face in the last panel.
Hey good to see this comic back; I was afraid for a while it had died, glad that’s not the case.
In what other ways may we experience this fun
yay! the comic is back! <3 Underling
XD Great way to end my night! Rofl
Welcome back! Pyromaniacs unite! Recovering pyromaniac here myself. Oh, how I miss those days of torching giant stacks of useless paperwork my indentured high-school AP English class forced me to undertake!
BURN IT ALL!
Laz looks kind of like Evil Bear in Bear Nuts.
