Next Update...Feh, Soon! Soon as we can!

[DCR]

The T-shirt probably looks something like this:

Go to original for img.

And yes, I'm proud of helping out with the process in my favorite way: image manipulation, of course.

Hoe lay bovine! Owe shnapps! Excellent stuff!


*reads pclips' latest post*
Tonight? Tomorrow? Butbutbutbut this is the intarweb! Intarweb is nevar late!
Guess I'll go re-read the archives again...


EDIT

Rather than double post, I'll edit. But I get the 'orrible, 'orrible feeling that the update for the 17th was for OotS and not Erf...

[rosebud]

I'm curious how many offers have been received to handy carry the bits of the current update to the webservers. (Or at least offers to lend a passenger gwiffon.)

[pclips]

Again, my apologies. All I can tell you is we're doing the best we can. Update may be tonight.

This page is a bear, and the con was a lost weekend. The script, however, is positively singing. The next 8 pages are going to raise the bar, I promise.

[kpenguin]

Well, if it's going to be as good as you say, it will be well worth the wait.

(addiction on)No matter how good it will be... Keep the story rolling... (addiction off)

Above where it already is? Impressive....

In that case, no complaints here. Looking forward to seeing it!

any more news on the T-Shirt yet?

[sihnfahl]

Good luck!

I feel all tingly inside, AH the explosive diarrhoea of joy.

Tips for other addicts:

1) Printing and devouring past pages of Erfworld with milk doesn't satisfy the cravings as much as you'd think.
2) OOTS and Erfworld appear to be separate addictions, and satisfying one doesn't appear to appease the other.
3) Drinking caffeine so as to be able to click "refresh" faster is surprisingly counter-productive
4) Reading the Motivators and Demotivators produced by other fans is mildly therapeutic.

Posting to said threads is even more therapeutic.

Good Grief! What happened at ConnectiCon? It sounds like a tragic time was had by all! Something must've been pretty not happy to make one of you swear off Cons for a while. What's the poop?

I think he means a "lost production weekend." As in they had so much fun, met so many people, autographed so many t-shirts that they didn't get the comic done and uploaded using the hotel's business lounge as they had originally planned.

Of course, I could be totally wrong, and missed the "Cons are teh suck!!!111" post somewhere. Wouldn't be the first time.

[North]

First up

Thanks for letting us know.

Second

*Jaw drops*

Oh snap!!!!

[SteveMB]

Rob posted on the Conventions thread (short version: the con was good, but various travel snafus and whatnot kept rearing their ugly heads).

[Runolfr]

My policy on complaining about these sorts of things is, "Oh, go on and vent. Let me have it." However, I understand the GitP forum policies are somewhat more restrictive. So, feel free to call me names by email and PM. I assure you, I am not happy about the delay either, but we had no other choice.

Very well.

Thy tardiness is epic.

[pclips]

I have no grounds on which to deny it. Still working...

Well, It's YOUR FAULT, you know. If you guys just sucked as much as most webcomics, then you wouldn't have all the fans all lathered up and panting for their next Erf fix.

Suck more, boop it!


:D

Wait. Nevermind that. Keep teh awesome coming! :D

Whatever else was lousy in his life, I'm sure Parson was never pestered by complaints about late updates.

[rosebud]

I thought it's supposed to go something like,

*POOF*

The comic has always been on time or earlier than you expected it.

[Caledonian]

Of course their tardiness is epic - they're Titans.

More specifically, I was referring to this pair of comments from his earlier post...

CTCon was a wonderful host, but we had a curse on us (there will be a video log of this) and the whole experience kicked our collective boop.

Jamie will not be attending many cons in the future, including GenCon. (I am still going to GenCon. I will update the cons thread.)

Just curious what happened to make Jamie sour on attending cons? The inability to do artwork at one? *L* That should be a given.

[rashambo]

No worries Rob, now quit apologizing and get back to work! *kidding*

We're all looking forward to whatever is in store.

[Damos Taranth]

Soon, you say?

Using Blizzard as a standard or reference or anything at all regarding time is cruel and sadistic.
Especially when I'm waiting for something good.

[Darkmyst]

At this stage, it might just be best to call the Tuesday update a write-off, and post the next strip on Saturday. Waiting is a lot easier with a fixed deadline, of this I am certain.

[dither]

*Sigh* I don't know about the rest of you, but I know that *I'm* annoyed by the delays.

My thoughts lie somewhere in the region of "Why are the priorities being placed on promoting the webcomic by attending conventions instead of creating it." Like, when the band is on tour promoting the new album, they're not at the studio making music. "What's more important? The process of creation, or the culmination of readers?"

And still I wait for page 62. *Long, drawn-out sigh*

The process of payback in in positive feedbacks (and money from merchandising) is far more important from time to time than the creation of new art.
Though I hope Rob and Jamie won't rely on their achievements in the past and keep making new strips. Please don't make Erfworld a 61-hit-wonder.

Edit: I forgot the klogs. Shame on me. Let's count them as "booklets".
