Ofc you had to turn of one of the prominent functions in the more modern program before it worked like a charm I like the new style btw, think I forgot to mention that on our forum.

Anyway: MOAR!

This comic is so cute! I feel sorry for poor Zeyal, though. =(
Me and my lil brother used to call warriors in gladiator's armor nipple warriors. For obvious reasons.

And .. I can't help but think that Drinjina (sp?) sounds a little hopeful when she's like stuck in that tree, wondering if Griph is hitting on her.
Oh my.
Keep up the good work, Griph. ^.^

Glad you like it. I'm pretty sure the only reason I can up with the fat name calling of Zeyal was the nipple warrior thing. That and the fact he loves it really.

always nice to know. Especially since the start was well over a year ago now. There's just something about the lasting people who keep coming back that really cheers me up.

Now the bad news. As you may have noticed, I've not updated since about five weeks ago. Now usually the holidays when you're a student mean less written work and more relaxing. With the masters it seems they like to give you the full brunt of it during your free time, so the comic is of now on indefinite hold. This is not to say it has ended by any stretch. I don't like leaving things incomplete like this, I try to either finish them or never get past the planning stage. But at present I just don't have free time worthy of doing the comic justice. Anybody who's in our guild or just been spying on my online/offline status will have noticed I've not been around much in game either for the same reasons. Now with essays taking almost every waking hour, and the dissertation just around the corner, there doesn't seem to be an end to the work for me until August at the very earliest.

Now don't read into this that I won't do a comic until August, there's every likelihood that come the dissertation I'll find my schedule a little more lax, but at present it's just too much to ask for with the little free time I find. I do hope people understand. Just give it another month or so and I'll see what I can root up in the way of rounding off this arc. I would lie and say it's worth waiting for, but I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself.

I should probably write something here. You know what, you should too.

Sorry this is late in coming, but I have my reasons.

Coffee up the nose is good. For you maybe not so good, but then again we will never truely understand the theoretical implications and physical consequences enough to distinguish them good or bad. But for me, it means I'm still mildly amusing. Which is astounding to be honest.

In any case, we continue:

Sometimes you have to change your plans on a seconds notice. The head shot was worth it.

Comic 43 - The Spread

Aside from posting the late comic, this is just a quick message to wish you all a good holiday. I'm gonna take a break from this for a while. I know this year I've been crap with updating, but it's all coming along slowly. Everything that has happened has done so according to my design... so of course I was a little slack with it

Thanks to those who continue to read it and enjoy it. All things as planned I'll be back around September time.


Yikes, I forgot to update the first page before. I'll do that properly now.
