Well he did say about a year ago that he was going to wrap the thing up in about the next five years.  So... four years to go, I guess.

And only about a year's worth of Harry Potter parodies to go!

On a vaguely related topic, it looks like a Keenspot advertiser got hit with a exploit.  If you're using IE, or a browser that emulates it like Opera, don't go to any Keenspot comics.  And look for a c:\windows\system32\~.exe file, to see if you're infected.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I...

:>_>:

I read Soap on a Rope. Like, every day.

I know... There are like only three plot devices reused over and over and over again, since 1997. And they're pretty terrible to begin with.

But dammit, sometimes it makes me laugh.

In other news, Chris Hasting's party was crashed by Bill Murray.

I've taken a liking to Accursed Dragon (in before oh noes keenspot) for some reason.

Maybe it's that new webcomic smell.

Edit: Link fixed.  Always forget differences between BBC and HTML.

Daaaamn. Sluggy Freelance is finally beginning to get ready to be going somewhere. Too bad it's not actually going anywhere yet. Of course, the massive recapping is pretty much necessary, but I do find myself surprised at how interested I am with what's going on in Dr. Schlock's head. Man I hope the strip lives up to that interest.

In other news, if just the first panel of today's chainsawsuit isn't enough to make you laugh then you are probably of reptilian descent.

Wait... Sluggy Freelance has a plot?

Wow. I thought it was just a random collection of endless funnies, like a newspaper daily.

It has... fits of plot, yeah. (I was about to say seizures of plot, but I do believe the strip deserves better.) It's a vast, organic tangle of loose ends at this point, but it sure does look like a bunch of them are going to be tied up, if not now, then at least soon. I hope.

It's like, the main cast is in the middle of two bad guy organizations. There's Hereti-Corp, the technological bads, led by Dr. Schlock, looking for Oasis, and there's the modern day cult to K'Z'K', the demonic bads, looking for... Uh. I think they want to off Zoe or Gwynn so they can return to full power but I honestly don't remember. In any case, it looks like the shit is finally going to hit the fan with the HC side of thing at least, after several years' worth of build-up. So it'll either be awesome or completely terrible.

Ironically, I'm still more interested in Schlock than in anyone else. At first, I didn't much like how he became... whatever he is now, but I've come to dig where Abrams' taking him.

I gotta say though, the strip is pretty much impervious to new readers at this point. Every once in a while I have the errant thought that it might be fun to go through the archives again, but, uh, I kill that idea with the same speed I kill ideas of sticking my hand into a blender.

You know, I will always hold a grudge against Sluggy Freelance for not being about a detective who is also a slug.

I appreciate Sluggy Freelance more than it probably deserves, but I'll be honest and say that this is the first time that I have actually been interested in it since before a certain plot arc that dragged on and on with no apparent relationship to anything else. Whether this is because something awesome is about to happen, or whether it is merely because it is hearkening back to shelved loose ends that I found terribly exciting back in the day, remains to be seen.

 :perfect:

My personal beef with it is the Torg Potter stuff because I'm not a fan of Harry Potter it generally just comes out of nowhere to fill space that could otherwise we used for something better.

Nice to see the plot seizures actually start picking up again though.

Yeah, I think you're going to have to be more specific there.  I mean at least three years there was just about nothing but that sort of thing.

Yes, I know, the whole strip is supposed to be that sort of thing.  I mean specifically the years where the entire main cast was trapped in separate alternate dimensions, states of consciousness or college, and a half-year long epic was apparently necessary to get every single one of them back.

Looking at the archive thinger, I believe "Oceans Unmoving" was the one that finally compelled me to come back after it had finished. It's the biggest and most irrelevant of the lot.

Going through those archives all in a row, the transition to gag strip is... jarring.  It's like January 2008 is the exact point where the artist loses his fucking mind.
