Maybe He's On Page 205

posted by Jordan on 2009/10/6 (Comics)

I've been meaning to switch back to these guys for a while now. In fact, I wanted to do it before the whole Valley of the Night arc, but couldn't think of anything to write for them, so decided to put it off. That is, until now.

And obviously, they're no less dysfunctional either.

Concerned reader - 2009/11/8
Too EVERYONE....IMO these people are not flaming, they arejust very concerned. Look at the guys lat post...it said he will make saturday. No one posted a flame for 2 WEEKS after that, and still there is no comic. these people and I do not mean to flame, but it comes to a point of ridiculousness.
Aniuch - 2009/11/6
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I like this comic and I'm willing to forgive Zarah/Jordan his irregular schedule and I understand that college is taxing, but I think all the flaming might have made him quit running the show...Sad also, 2 cents on the flaming: yes, there's no update and there hasn't been for about a month. Quit bitchin'.
Opisthokont - 2009/11/5
Wow, it really is depressing reading all the flaming! But this really is a fun comic, and I will continue checking for updates for as long as it runs. Keep up the good work!

(That said, a message from Zarah himself would really be appreciated!)

I for one am spending the time whilst waiting re reading the rest of the comics whilst slacking at work Happy
Invenis - 2009/11/4
Moff - I'm not sure, if it was a grue. It could have been a gazebo. Very happy
Ertai - 2009/11/4
I don't quite understand people, who are trying to insult this comic creator. It's a hell of a comic and I really like it. True, even I am being frustrated that there are no updates, but who am I that makes NOTHING for this comic to insult someone? I admire people that makes something for others in their free time for free. I really do. I just wish best of luck to this comic and mostly to ist creator.
Moff - 2009/11/3
I'm sorry to report... there will be no update. Jordan was attacked by a wild grue, and eaten just outside of his home. Sad
Guest - 2009/11/2
Hey there, are you going to continue the comic anytime soon? No pressure ;P
Addict - 2009/11/1
Sigh... the wait continues, damn you Jordan! I'm hooked on the storyline and now I can't stop checking for an update every day. Webcomics, they'll ruin your life.
~Secret~ - 2009/11/1
Well.....in 3 hours, here, it will have been 4 weeks since the last update......
I wouldn't call it officially dead because I still check a comic or two that haven't been updated for a year, but it's still a long time.......
Anyway, to the author, if you still come here and are well I think next time you make a comic you should try to make as many as you can at that time but only post one(or two) a week that way you have some padding and something like this is less likely to happen again.

Anyway I look to the next comic when. ^_^
Brayden K - 2009/11/1
ROFLMFAO updates sporadicaly

that just made my day
Ben Harrison - 2009/11/1
Ah, this comic's great. Just be patient.
Invenis - 2009/11/1
The creator of this illusion, maybe. And I know only one illusionist in this comic... Tongue
DM rob - 2009/11/1
jordan- maybe take the update day off?
jackasses- how is it a con? it takes what, a minute to check this?
everyone else- i wonder what is on 205?
DM rob - 2009/11/1
if i was jordan i'd think "**** it- these ingrates couldnt do this"
so leave him alone- or give him encouragement- and if you think your so great- make your own webcomic for free viewing
Foxune - 2009/11/1
Long time reader, first time poster

Assuming Jordan checks the comics anymore ( I damn well wouldn;t if i came in to this) let me tell you what my father told me when I was but a boy

"Most people are jackasses- deal with it"

And unfortunately the internet is jackass enabled. Everyone feels like they can be big men behind a computer. Don't worry about it. what you need to do is change a few words around on the comments, and it all seems more amusing. like so...

This one was from Bored waiter- I've tweaked it a tad

**** me Jordan!
You and this comic are more productive and better than anything I have ever put up on the internet, even with the long waits. And now the character development has gotten even better, since I clearly hadn;t noticed Aldran and Eldhins dramatic encounter where he gave himself up!
You know it's bad to be as big a twat as I'm being, right?
Then I'll go jump in a lake and drown. Sorry to waste your time.

Jordan- the comics brilliant. I've been coming back for 200 strips, and like OOTS, I never stay away for long. I'm personally hoping we stay away from the heroes a bit more and see the ivory veil, but its all great nonetheless- keep it up Happy
SamuraiMing - 2009/11/1
“I can assure you Jordan is of good health and there haven't been any tragedies or anything.”


@Crazed

Thanks for clearing that up. It's good to know that Mr.Goat is still alive and well.

@Bored Waiter
If you don't like the comic, and you don't want to wait, then why not just go? There are other web comics you can go and check out that are updated daily. Unless the only reason why you're still here is to complain about Mr.Goat and the comic. But you've already made your opinions clear, so I still don't see why you're still here. Maybe it'd be better for all of us, you including, if you just stopped checking out this site? I mean, unless you are looking for a reason to use the complain, there's little enjoyment you can get out of this site.

But please remember that there are others who don't mind waiting, and who like this comic.

BTW, while waiting for the new comic, who wants to discuss Anti-HEROES?
Crazed - 2009/10/31
“Oh Crazed you're an idiot for still believing that this asshole is gonna post a comic soon.
Jordan is an idiot who wants people to keep on visiting his site while he scratches his lame ass.”


This will be the last time I respond to this, so listen up. Dear sir, I have known Jordan for 8 years. I have talked to him daily for this time. I have grown up with him. You, however, have never spoken a word to him personally in your life. You are in no position to pass judgment. If I were a lesser person this is where I would initiate the blatant flaming (as you clearly already have), but I'm not, so I'll just kindly ask you to keep your mouth to yourself. I would recommend you seek out a priest or a psychologist to sort out your problems with being a human being. Happy
Invenis - 2009/10/31
*WARNING* Intensive trolling detected... Starving the sucker to death is the suggested solution. Very happy
Bored Waiter - 2009/10/31
Screw you Jem, stop kissing this idiot's ass.

In this time of lameass inactivity on behalf of the artist, I checked again and I confirmed it: Jordan sucks ass at writing a storyline.
Their characters are shallow and the plot is stupid. **** him.
Jem - 2009/10/31
Bored Waiter stop insulting people, it is really sad to imagine what your life would be if you spend your time insulting a comic artist.
Bored Waiter - 2009/10/31
Oh Crazed you're an idiot for still believing that this asshole is gonna post a comic soon.
Jordan is an idiot who wants people to keep on visiting his site while he scratches his lame ass.
Benjamin - 2009/10/31
Oh God, please find the time to create more comics.

I can't keep on living without them Sad You got me needle deep in addiction to this comic Worried
Crazed - 2009/10/30

Does anyone know what happened to Mr.Goat? It might not be college, could be something else that is really bad.”


I can assure you Jordan is of good health and there haven't been any tragedies or anything. He's quite busy with his job. I myself look forward to new comics soon, but frankly the animosity some people on here are displaying towards someone, who before had been taking three days a week of his life to create an entirely free, labor-of-love comic for you, is quite repulsive to me. To those of you who seriously have the capacity of malice to say "f*** you" to someone who's done nothing but provide free entertainment for you, it's better for this community that you just leave.

To the vast majority of our awesome readers who have been anxiously waiting for the next comic, I'm one of the impatient people among you. On behalf of AH and Jordan I'm genuinely sorry for the long wait for new comics. I sincerely hope Jordan will be up to creating a comic soon - and if not, perhaps I will create a few new issues of Anti-World (I know it's no replacement, but...) - but cursing him out is not helpful and pathetic. Negative comments are fine, but personal attacks are never justified.
azarkon - 2009/10/30
I thinkit would have been insulting (and thus more funny) if ithad been a silver exclimation point. Also, I miss having updates. Feel better soon!
Invenis - 2009/10/30
Too... much... vocabulary... head... exploding... Very happy
Jenrock - 2009/10/30
Yes, the wait is vexing, but there is no call for the vehemence with which you convey your displeasure, Bored Waiter.

Criticism can be used to improve someone, whereas such strongly worded hate messages can only be used to the detriment of the recipient, and I would hope that we, as a people, were beyond such childish things as wanting to hurt someone's feelings because we don't get our way.
Invenis - 2009/10/30
Isn't this a tad too much? Happy A little criticism is in order - but don't turn it into a hate list. Happy I like the comic - and the fact that so many people come here - must mean, that the comic is great.

Nontheless, the lack of communication IS inexcusable. HappyBut try to look on the bright side - it means, that we like the comic so much, that we want it as soon as possible! Happy
Bored Waiter - 2009/10/30
**** you Jordan!
You and this bitch ass comic suck ass due to the crappy long waits. And now the character development has turned into a ****ing joke.
You know it's bad to lie to your readers right?
Then **** you.
Little lamb ded - 2009/10/30
Oh no new comic. Suprise.

I am also in college. What i am saying is i am sick of hearing that the comic will be up tuesday and it doesnt come for another month. JUST SAY IM ON A BREAK like rich, dont con us into coming back here every day just after he says when it will be out.


I really, really liked this comic. But i cant wait any more.
Logalmier - 2009/10/29
It is true that it is a free webcomic, but it's also true that he should let us know if he can't keep to his schedule.

But insulting him? For what? For providing us with a webcomic? For taking time to create over 200 free comics? Sure, you might not like how long it takes, but he's really done nothing to deserve such treatment.

So there. Tongue
Pkmatrix - 2009/10/29
Bah, so much whining!

I'm also in college, and understand the pressures - do this at YOUR pace and no one else's. When you're ready to post, I'll be here waiting. ^_^
Bored Waiter - 2009/10/29
I have waited and I have waited. This comic has now died. Jordan you suck ass!
Jenrock - 2009/10/29
Any person, regardless of the nature of their medium, has an obligation to keep their word. We were promised several comics that were not forthcoming, ergo there was a failure to his fulfill obligation.
Salokcin - 2009/10/29
I think that Zarah's 'obligation' to the readers can be summed up in two words:

Free Webcomic.

Its been great reading this comic, its on my list of tabs that I check every day, and when there is a new one, I read it. I don't pay anything, and I really enjoy the free entertainment. I am impressed that there are over 200 comics already. To my recollection, I haven't paid for any of them, and I haven't been asked to donate. Thus, I shouldn't complain, whine, or bitch, because this will only decrease the likelyhood for more comics. As such, great comic Zarah! Update us on your status when you have a chance! Happy
Jenrock - 2009/10/29
While I don't agree with his tact, Little lamb ded isn't entirely wrong. As a college student I can certainly agree that it gets in the way, but this does not free anyone from the responsibility of being honest with his readership. If he says we'll get a comic on Saturday, we should get one of two things on Saturday: the comic or a message here simply stating that the comic won't be coming. The latter takes only a negligible amount of time to type.

I love this comic, and will continue to read it as long as Zarah makes it, but this lack of communication with his readership is simply inexcusable.
SamuraiMing - 2009/10/29
“That's a valid point. But he should removed the "Updates Tues-Thurs-Sat" in favor of "Updates When It's Ready", or something along those lines.


@ Red XIV

You deserve a COOKIE!

*gives a Ming Cookie*

Does anyone know what happened to Mr.Goat? It might not be college, could be something else that is really bad.
Clertar - 2009/10/28
Then just go, and stop being an arse. He is not a professional comic author with publishing deadlines; I don't think I'd want your type of reader to stick around if I was the author.

For the author: Don't pay attention to what a lame minority of your readers say. The rest of us, we check every once in a while and just hope things are going well on your side. I know I'll keep doing this as long as the comic is alive, regardless of the wait between updates Happy
Little lamb ded - 2009/10/28
Oh and stop saying give him a break because he is in college. That is a lame ass excuse. If he is college, then i hope he does well and succeeds in life. I really do. But then dont promise comics. Take a hiatus for goodness sake! Do not think i am being mean...but when this comic basically just stops..its time for me to go.
Little lamb ded - 2009/10/28
Thats it. No one is saying it. Im out of here. Screw this comic.

This is an embarrassment to the internet. Hell it wasn't amazing when it came out, NOW look at it! What like 6 updates in 3 months? This story is awful now, and i really hate how much time this wasted. Sorry for being blunt, but i have been very, very patient.

Bye.
Kon - 2009/10/28
First time reader/poster. Love the story and while I can't wait for more I understand about the school thing. Hope studies go well and when you get a break can relax by sharing your story. Till than take care, and afterwards too
Red XIV - 2009/10/27
“I just wanted to remind folks that Jordan is a college student. Give him a break. The comic is a hobby to him. I figure that his social life and his academic work is a tad bit more important than this. Just give it time to come, and enjoy it when it does.”

That's a valid point. But he should removed the "Updates Tues-Thurs-Sat" in favor of "Updates When It's Ready", or something along those lines.
Gnoya - 2009/10/24
If by "plenty" you mean between 0 and 1 then your are correct...
zigz - 2009/10/24
If you don`t like checking for updates. Check only every couple of weeks like me and there is usually plenty to catch up on.
SamuraiMing - 2009/10/23
I don't mind waiting, but maybe it would be best if Zarah did not say that he would put up a comic on so-and-so day, and then it turns out crap happens and he can't get through with it.

I'll still support Zarah! Go Mr.Goat!
Moogleking - 2009/10/21
RSS?
Noxlupus - 2009/10/21
This webcomic needs to have an emil list to let it fans know when it updates... I know this is just a hobby for the author, but it starts to get frustrating when you check on the days the updates are supposed to occur and there's STILL nothing.
First Timer - 2009/10/21

Thanks mate it is appreciated Happy
Jordan - 2009/10/9
So I just realized that I totally had my days screwed up in the last comment I posted. I've got to stop talking when I'm tired.

Anyway, I meant to say that I'd be missing Thursday's update and aiming to make Saturday, though I may be going out tonight and since I work early, won't have a lot of time to draw. I'll have to see what I can do.
Jordan - 2009/10/7
I'll have to miss Tuesday's update this week, as I managed to pile things up a little bit over the past couple days. I figured I better not disappear again and actually inform people this time. Tongue

Still aiming to make Thursday, though.
