Next comic coming very soon!

In the act of pruning comments, I see a lot of people asking me to update. I truly do appreciate your patience as I sort through life and get my act together. And of course there are all the IMpatient people, and to them I can only say: I’m sorry? Your bugging me won’t make me get to work any faster, but I certainly do sympathize with your plight. I’ve had to endure non-updating comics myself, and it’s no fun. All I can do this point is assure you that updates are forthcoming. I won’t leave the comic as it stands. Diminutive Mega-Man #2 will not forever adorn the top of the page.

That’s a promise.

Comics are on the way, by the way. YES REALLY. Stop bugging me, “crazy diamond”.

I finally bit the bullet the other day and bought Zelda II for Virtual Console! True, I already owned it for NES, GameCube (via Zelda Collector’s Edition) and a Japanese Famicom Mini cartridge for Game Boy Advance, but the allure of convenience of play on the console that gets powered on the most was ultimately too much to pass up.

Plus, I was able to sort-of pass it off as research for the comic. I couldn’t remember which town was which, and decided I’d have more fun playing through the first few palaces of the game than looking up the information on GameFAQs for ten seconds. I was right! In the end my initial recollection of town names was actually correct, but hey, nothing wrong with a little first-hand confirmation.

Hey Nintendo! Allow us to play Virtual Console and WiiWare games on SD cards already! I need to pick up the other episodes of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People post-haste.

What’s that I hear you saying? “A ‘Phase One’ implies a ‘Phase Two’?” Well aren’t we the perceptive ones?

Since the archives are somewhat spotty and intermittent in many places, and since I’ve only been adding the comics with included news posts for the most part today, the new archives have a lot of holes in them. I’ll fill them in once I’ve finished the news post-included episodes. As I always say, stay tuned for that!

Update! I’ve put up WordPress versions of all the until-now missing pages, so Zelda Comic is now running at something resembling original capacity! Bonus, FAQ, Links and Contact are now available for the perusing at the top of every page. You’re welcome. :P

Update two! It’s… it’s all done! I’m kinda shocked. Most embarrassing outcome of this project: I discovered a vast shitload of my comic updates include an apologetic plea for forgiveness for comic lateness. Well no more of that nonsense!

Gotta get a bunch of Christmas shopping done tomorrow, and then there’s the Christmas thing itself, but I intend to make another comic soon after that. With this fancy ComicPress dealie no less! So hooray for that.
