Has everyone been reading Homestuck? I hope for your sakes that the answer is a resounding “yes”! The comic recently finished its first year, and it’s been one hell of a ride. I’ve been picking up the soundtrack albums cobbled together from tunes featured in the frequent cutscenes, and suggest maybe you do likewise. Considering my update schedule, I do hope you’re finding ways to occupy your time between Zelda Comic updates.

Old and obscure references are the best.

Nine months seems like a long enough break. Wouldn’t you agree?

Hey, the comic turned eight this month! That’s… something… right?!

Step 1: Fix site CSS ✓
Step 2: Script a few comics for buffer ✓
Step 3: Redesign Navi sprite ✓
Step 4: MAKE A FRIGGIN’ COMIC ✓✓✓✓✓✓✓

I mentioned this on the forum earlier, but now that everyone’s seen it in the comic above I can safely state: hey look, Navi’s all different! I always wanted an Ocarina of Time-style sprite to match her original game appearance, and the Zelda II fairy’s kinda ugly. Plus I had the opportunity to improve her glowiness, and anyone that’s read my comic for more than three seconds probably knows I’m a big fan of the glowiness. Here’s an animated GIF showing her off!

But most importantly of all: no more Diminutive Mega-Man #2 on top of the page! Oh yeah, and the whole making comics again thing.

HOPEFULLY NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED. I MAY BE A HOPELESS SLACKER, BUT I HAVEN’T MISSED AN ALL-CAPS DAY YET! THAT’S RIGHT, THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF NOVEMBER HAS FALLEN UPON US ONCE MORE! ACTIVATE THAT CAPS LOCK KEY AND LET IT RIDE THROUGHOUT THE DAY! AS USUAL, IF YOU ARE CHASTISED BY YOUR PEERS AND COWORKERS FOR SENDING CONSTANT OBNOXIOUS ALL-CAPS EMAILS (CHASTISING IS INEVITABLE), FEEL FREE TO CHAT IN THE SAFE HAVEN OF THE ORANGE BELT FORUMS, WHERE MAYBE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WILL CHASTISE YOU BUT THEY’LL DO IT FOR UNRELATED REASONS PROBABLY.

I DO HOPE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME COMICS SOON, BUT I CAN’T SAY I’VE BEEN IN A TERRIBLY CREATIVE MINDSET THESE PAST FEW MONTHS. I DID GET A NEW JOB AND A NEW PLACE TO LIVE THOUGH! THESE ARE THINGS WORTHY OF NOTE TO SPRITE COMIC READERS. OF THIS I HAVE NO DOUBT.

SEE YOU AROUND, HOPEFULLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Ha! Toldja I’d finish before Comic-Con! Take that, hypothetical naysayer! Oh wait, I forgot that no one probably reads the comic anymore because I’m such a damn slacker. Joke’s on me I guess!

Off to Comic-Con tomorrow night! Hope I run into LittleKuriboh! How does one go about tracking down some random Internet guy when you hardly know what he looks like and he doesn’t have a booth or a panel? Shout out “ATTENTION DUELISTS!” constantly until he runs up and begs me to stop? I’m genuinely curious!

A comic released on the regular update day?!? Let’s see how long I can keep this nonsense up.

Hey Brian, looks like you owe me more fancy Caramelldansen pics! Hooray!

Also, a lot of people probably owe a lot of other people five bucks. Here’s hoping you’re all in states where gambling is legalized.

I’m not going to ask if you read Super Mega, because obviously you all do. But you might have missed the comentary video he made and posted up on YouTube! It’s, like, crazy detailed comic commentary! Nothing better than analyzing something until there is NOTHING MORE TO DISCUSS OR KNOW ABOUT IT EVER. Here’s hoping he makes more of ‘em!

Guess I had a comic in me a little earlier than I thought!

Enjoy the Internet today. And please try not to get bent out of shape. It’s one friggin’ day out of the year.

Some day I’ll make these with some semblance of regularity. A man can dream, anyway.

HAPPY ALL-CAPS DAY EVERYONE! WELCOME BACK, LOWDER!

It feels good to finally get this episode finished, and hopefully you’ll all enjoy reading it more than I enjoyed making it (oh my god what a pain in the ass).

I think there might have been some confusion, so let me just say that no, this is not the last episode. That would be a really sucky ending.
