Must Have Been Count Chocula

posted by Jordan on 2009/5/4 (Comics)

Holy CRAP.

Holy crap, it's been a while, hasn't it? Yeah. Far too long. First of all, let me totally apologize for my sudden disappearance. I... really don't have a good excuse. It all started with being sick right after Easter, and from there just went totally downhill. No, it wasn't swine flu, but rather a combination of writing final exams, being stuck with writer's block and having to move out that just sapped any will I had for doing a comic. I felt bad about not updating, and I got a few emails from those asking if I was alright. Thanks for the concern, everyone, but I can assure you all that I'm fine. I guess I just needed a break for a while to recharge my batteries. In any event, I'll thank everyone for being patient enough to bear with no updates for a month and with my general selfishness, but that's in the past.

So here's a comic for today (technically this is tomorrow's update, but I'm doing it early since it's been so long), and I'm hoping this whole regular updates thing can continue for a while at least...

Glad you've survived!
Welcome back!
Barack Obama - 2009/5/6
Hmph. Needs more praising of me.

And welcome back, Jordan.
Hremsfeld - 2009/5/5
As others have said, don't worry about the delay, it was already worth it. There were, what, 8 punchlines, each better than the last? See, you already made up for it! Tongue
Face of Evil - 2009/5/5
Thank the gods Zarah/Jordan is back!
Sirek - 2009/5/5
Yes! Thank you for the update! I usually check a dozen times per day, but I was busy! You rule Zara!
Llamallord27 - 2009/5/5
Hooray, hooray! You've saved the day! Again I say, hooray, hooray!
Amaretto - 2009/5/5
OMGS Zarah/Jordan you are the MAN!

Really nice that you've done all this work for our entertainement. Tongue

Hmmmm.... I wonder how much longer the Wizard of Oz Costumes and Plot will be going on....

If the gnome tells them to kill a witch and then come back, it'll be perfect! XD

Heck, Zurie could even be referred to as a witch... who knows, maybe she's allergic to water too?

EDIT: Nevermind, we saw her bathing I think... too bad. Tongue
Peregrine - 2009/5/5
wow things are certainly coming to a head in both this and oots

it's great to have u back zarah. anti heroes lives again!
NamonakiRei - 2009/5/5
That... that was awesome. Oh, man, I've been waiting for updates so long! Very happy
And an awesome comeback! When he said "This changes everything", I thought he was actually gonna pay Aldran. But his reaction was so much better. Now I want to know what the prophecy has to do with the scroll, if there's any relation

Anyway, you take care, Jordan! I'm glad to see you back, and don't worry, everyone needs to take a break once in a while. I hope your newly recharged batteries work OK! Wink

Thanks for the awesome update, too.
Zurpl - 2009/5/5
Yeah. Life can suck sometimes, but it's good to see you back. I half thought you had given up. Good thing I checked in every day.
haha How I've missed the witty titles.
(People say stuff like ^ all the time, but there's really no predicate...)
Taker - 2009/5/5
Welcome back Jordan! Glad to hear you're feeling well. :veryhappy
MadDuck - 2009/5/5
Don't worry about the long tome between the previous update. People need breaks from time to time.

Love the direction the plot is headed. This should make for an interesting story arc, whatever it leads to.
Lydronk - 2009/5/5
So that was why Aldran said Lana shouldn't die! So Aldraniffic! Very happy
2four - 2009/5/5
hurray! at least comic is back
Tharianor - 2009/5/5
Welcome back Jordan!
A bet! Very happy I like the explanation of Lana vampirism, but i "bet" there is much more behind it! Cough!Prophecy Cough!
Kazemi - 2009/5/5
HAHA! That was good. It makes me like Aldran even more.
Gnome Lover - 2009/5/5
Yes! All hail the long awaited return Happy
Malygos - 2009/5/5
Hey... Lets start with unspeakable terror this gnome can spread... I am thinking about MJ again XD
Ben Harrison - 2009/5/5
No worries about the delay; even if people complain or whine or act snarky about your comic not being up, it just means they like it.

Great comic. It's hard to take Lana too seriously holding that balloon though!
Inkling - 2009/5/5
Hallelujah! We have signs of life! Huzzah for the updates!!! Very happy
Big C - 2009/5/5
I'm so glad your back, i was about to give up.
Ian - 2009/5/5
HAHAHAH.. Scroll of LifeBlood and a BET!!!! Dude it just doesn't get any better than this.
MTONinja - 2009/5/5
HOW COULD YOU BE LATE DONT WE PAY YOU ENOUGH!!!

j/k seriously though, I love the latest turn of events and so glad to have anti-heros back!
Uncle Festy - 2009/5/5
Yay new comic!
Also:
=O
This explains how Lana turned into a Vampire! And it was a bet!
That's%u2026
Hilarious! Very happy
Justin - 2009/5/5
Welcome back! And stop kicking yourself about the delay--the results are already worth the wait.
Blakjak - 2009/5/5
An excellent comic - I especially like the whole Vampire dress down routine: Patriarch?Bloodline? OMG!

And dont worry about being late, Real Life is more important. Besides, all the best web entertainment takes time to update. Red vs Blue hasnt updated in months - they make Rich Burlew looks like Speedy Gonzales!
Maktok - 2009/5/5
@Kpenguin: I do believe that Xykon found the Cloister headband on the head of Dorukan the wizard. It is clearly stated that Dorukan invented the spell and it's the same headband that he is seen wearing, the few times he is seen.

Other than being a smart-ass I'd like to say welcome back and thank you for a wonderful plot-revelation Very happy
MadDuck - 2009/5/5
Chacked every day, and it's finally back!!!
Jack - 2009/5/5
HAHA! YES ITS BACK!
Suave Ramirez - 2009/5/5
Nice job. Thank you for the fun i have reading your strip.
Seros Senric - 2009/5/5
Yay! A comic! Finally!

And I like it how the bet was based on her becoming a vampire. I feel it explains some of the early comments some of the characters made. And why he hadn't already collected his money Happy
Toil3T - 2009/5/5
Don't sweat it Jordan, I knew you had important reasons for not updating. Besides,
everyone deserves a break every now and then.

@ Salokcin: Now I feel bad for only checking every 2 or 3 days Tongue
ldcnuke - 2009/5/5
Jeez. One time I got a toy gun in my cereal, and I thought that was a bad influence on young children... Never mind a spell likely to be found in the necronomicon...
Bob the ninja - 2009/5/5
ha Very happy
i just got the title
Metropolis - 2009/5/5
Good stuff. Thanks for the update.
Icewalker - 2009/5/4
And Lana's mysterious vampirism has been explained!

...awesome. Good to have you back.
ET - 2009/5/4
Don't feel bad about not updating, we all have periods where RL interfere - and after all, RL are far more important.

But its also nice to have you back updating. Tongue
Salokcin - 2009/5/4
Yay comic! I checked every day and never gave up. Great to have you back!
Ganurath - 2009/5/4
What is it with those drunken mages sticking the good stuff in cereal boxes?
Kpenguin - 2009/5/4
Well, huh. That's interesting.

Xykon found his Cloister headband in a cereal box too, didn't he. Tongue
