Cereal Killer

posted by Jordan on 2009/7/6 (Comics)

So I disappeared for another two weeks. I apologize once more for my sudden absence, and I have to admit that updates are probably going to be a bit more sporadic than they have been. I'm working full-time again, and between that and juggling my other projects, it's hard to keep myself from getting burned out. Anyway, you probably don't want to hear me yak, so here's today's comic uploaded a bit early.

ArborlonElf, I think Jack meant storywise.

Maybe.
Kuromaru - 2009/7/14
your comic is good..

Simply golden. You'll never cease to make me laugh, Zarah.

“Gravatar Jack - 2009/7/13
Im not sick of the lack of updates, im sick of the lack of explanation! Give us answers already.”


This has been explained before. Zarah is not a professional artist; he does not write this comic as his life, because this comic is not his life. He is a person with a somewhat busy life apart from this comic, and as such isn't always able to make and upload comics as frequently as some people would prefer. That's really the only explanation there is, and it's been mentioned quite a bit.

If Zarah knows he's not going to be able to update for a while, he tells us. If he doesn't know about it beforehand, he tells us what happened when he does upload a new one. That really should be enough.

If you do need more explanation, read the author's comments above, particularly this part:
“I have to admit that updates are probably going to be a bit more sporadic than they have been. I'm working full-time again, and between that and juggling my other projects, it's hard to keep myself from getting burned out.”

Are those enough answers for you? I sure hope so.

I understand and sympathize with the sporadic updates. Could you maybe create an RSS feed? That would make it really easy to keep track of this comic even when updates are a bit unpredictable. ”


We already have one. Happy You can access it in your browser's address bar, or clicking the link at the bottom of the comic. Or you can just go here: http://antiheroescomic.com/feed/comic

Thanks for your interest, and welcome to our little community, Malestra! Happy

Haha, love this. I love Lana's expression when Kaal says "All done".


You know? after this comic... I'm getting this urge to found the "Top Hat Bugbear x French Maid costume bugbear" fanclub. In fact...
*Funds the fanclub* Very happy

“In the third panel, how come the floor goes right back to being filthy? Is it like an anti-broom?”


Panel 2: Hobgoblins say goodnight.

Panel 3: Night janitor sweeps the floor.

Panel 4: Night time

Panel 5: Hobgoblins say good morning.

The darkening is the lack of daylight, an effective use of a montage.

Wagon wheels of passersby kicked up dust that landed delicately upon the floor after drifting lazily through the glassless windows.

...I have to stop watching Frasier.

Clever title, good comic.

Update!
Kheldarath - 2009/7/8
heh I thought the blood cereal was awesome. Nice one!
Scalenex - 2009/7/8
This is a good comic, to me it looks like regular cereal with blood instead of milk. While the comics are good, I think I'm going to take a few months off from checking antiheroes rather than checking for sporadic updates. Also I might be able to read two or more comics at once again.
dragongirl13 - 2009/7/7
OMG BLOOD CEREAL! Very happy

That is funny.

Hehehe, Cereal Killer... that joke may have been done a few times in other media (Sims 1 once, actually), but it never gets old. Happy

Good comic. PLEASE KEEP POSTING COMICS!
Peregrine - 2009/7/7
very nice, zarah!

the wait is always worth it, 'specially now that u support gravatars!

in kaal's defense, it was a lot of information to process Very happy
Face of Evil - 2009/7/7
Is that ... blood cereal?

Thanks for the update, Goatman.
Kyronea - 2009/7/7
Being as I have my own webcomic which I originally intended to update two or three times a week, and which is currently lucky to get one due to my own work occupying me, I totally understand. I love this comic so I'm happy to wait for it. Happy
kres - 2009/7/7
How can you ask such a question as what kind of cereal... It was Count Chocoula with blood of course!
Llamallord27 - 2009/7/7
Hooray! COMIX!!!
Magothys - 2009/7/7
Kaal was a lot smarter at the beginning of the comic. Annoyed

“I hope to come back in a year and for it to recapture what it had at the start in that time.”


Help us help you, please. If you don't like story comics, and you don't like comedic comics, what is it you're looking for in this comic?


I thought it was a great issue, at any rate. Glad to see you back, Zarah.
it really doesn't matter... - 2009/7/7
After this issue, I've deleted this from my bookmarks.

I hope to come back in a year and for it to recapture what it had at the start in that time.
Taker - 2009/7/7
My computer's defrag sometimes works like that.
scot7a - 2009/7/7
Yay! A new comic! And one of my favorites so far...worth waiting for!
Zend - 2009/7/7
Clearly, Lana prefers Hemoglobin-O's for breakfast. Tongue
Joan - 2009/7/7
It's good to see you updating again, even if it is sporadic Happy Hope the job turns out well, and you can keep the muse alive - It's a fun comic.
Blakjak - 2009/7/7
Yay, another update with pun intentended.



Clertar - 2009/7/7
Cool comic, thanks!
Amaretto - 2009/7/7
Good comic. Glad to see you are well and my avatar working.

Oh and also Kaal is the only member of the group with a souvenir remaining from the carbival. He still has face paint on (I have no idea how a ghost can), while Aldran lost his axe, Lana's balloon animal was popped, and keriss has gotten rid of her hat.
edhuan - 2009/7/7
what cereal was she eating??
Toil3T - 2009/7/7
They're good reasons for missing updates Jordan. Don't worry about it too much, you're not the only comic author/artist who has to miss the occasional update to prevent death from overworking, and subsequent raising as an anguished soul come to haunt those who did not let you take a break.

@ Salokcin: Ooh, I didn't notice that at first. I like how he turned drinking blood into something utterly mundane.
Kazemi - 2009/7/7
LOL @ the cereal! I want to know the brand! I also like how Lana cares more for her cereal than filling Kaal in >.
Eldar Ditto - 2009/7/7
Yesssss! I've been bored out of my mind and have just been looking through the Giantitp forums, then I saw the anti-heros thread. I'm so happy.
Salokcin - 2009/7/7
I like how the cereal is red. Nice touch.
MyrddinDerwydd - 2009/7/7
And how Lana is nonplussed by the fact that he doesn't respond to her "good morning".
Ganurath - 2009/7/7
I like how the bugbears instinctively know to ignore him.
