Hope you’re having a nice Labor Day, full of barbecues and not-working! Apologies to non-US citizens for having to do stuff today. New comic on Thursday, but if you need something to read in the meantime, check out Paul’s new comic, Tales From The Lip! Walter’s back, baby!
No new comic just yet. While you wait, I received a very random filler comic from some guy on the Internet that you ought to see. It’s just too random to keep to myself.
Look who thinks he’s all clever, with his literal interpretations and his bears and pencils.
I’m sure you all by now have noticed the giant search box above the news updates by now, but in case you somehow didn’t (like if you’re just reading the RSS feed or something): Zelda Comic now has a search engine, powered by Oh No Robot! Just type in a phrase, and it’ll search the archives for comics containing it! Can’t remember where the infamous “no second thing” line came from (that would be silly, since that’s also the name of the comic, but whatever)? Don’t quite recall when Blooper called Ganondorf a “boorish brute“? Now you don’t have to! Because search engines know all.
Well, sort of. I need the help of the readers to archive all these comics for future easy searching! If you ever see a “transcribe” button underneath a comic, just click it and fill in the dialogue! If we all work together, we can complete the archive in no time! To paraphrase one of our generation’s greatest thinkers: “get back to work, peons!”
I’m using some spare time at work to approve more OhNoRobot transcriptions for that search engine dealy! Sorry I’ve been slacking in just about every aspect of this comic (there were about 200 transcriptions awaiting approval this morning). Special thanks to Carmichael Micaalus for making so many damned transcriptions. Seriously dude, get a job! Haha, but more seriously dude, thanks.
Wow, I am so sorry about the lack of news and comic updates. For the past month+, I’ve been incredibly sick with some flu or bronchitis or something; the doctor never did give me a very clear diagnosis, but there was vomiting and coughing, and an overall inability or desire to use a computer. I’m finally feeling better, practically a year later (well, technically, with it being 2006 now and everything- meh, you get the idea), and fully intend to get back to the grindstone. Again, sorry I didn’t let you know, but I’ve really barely been on a computer for several weeks now. Hope you all enjoyed your Christmases and Chanukahs and Kwanzaas and New Yearses!
House of Leaves is a strange book. For reals.
I’m sorry I haven’t been making any comics again! I will tell you that I have a very good reason for this: I’m in the process of moving, and my new house is currently without Internet! I currently spend most of my free time huddled in a fetal position in the corner, mumbling to myself. I mean, what else are you going to do without Internet?
In all seriousness, once we get Comcast to transfer us over and get ahold of a cable modem and all that good stuff, I’ll be getting right back to the comic. Seriously!
Yes seriously!
If the confirmation call means anything (and it often doesn’t), Comcast will be stopping by today some time between 3PM and 5PM. Hopefully they’ll get our Internet fully armed and operational today, which would mean me maybe making a comic today or something!
Or maybe tomorrow if not today. But what I’m getting at here is, so
I have Internets! I’m now caught up with the rest of the modern world again! I hope to get back to comics veeeeeeeery sooooooooon. Stay tuned!
You probably haven’t noticed, but I end a lot of my typed statements with “stay tuned”. I’m gonna try to stop doing that as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
