I DO HOPE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME COMICS SOON, BUT I CAN'T SAY I'VE BEEN IN A TERRIBLY CREATIVE MINDSET THESE PAST FEW MONTHS. I DID GET A NEW JOB AND A NEW PLACE TO LIVE THOUGH! THESE ARE THINGS WORTHY OF NOTE TO SPRITE COMIC READERS. OF THIS I HAVE NO DOUBT. SEE YOU AROUND, HOPEFULLY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER! [DISCUSS] |

Good job, crazy Zelda gamers! The Four48 team completed their marathon with four hours to spare! Not only that, but they exceeded their goals and earned $2,240 for Child's Play! Congratulations to everyone at cameron banga dot com and Mario Marathon for this amazing feat. They're playing through Master Quest during the last few minutes, so feel free to stop by their site and let them know how awesome they are. The answer: fairly awesome? You can still donate too, so do that now! |

Damn, I sleep for a few hours and they're up to $1300! The Mario Marathon people completed all three classic Zelda titles with time to spare and have thrown in a bonus playthrough of The Minish Cap. The Four48 team starts with the 3D games tonight. I probably won't be able to check in while at work, but anyone who can should stay tuned! |

I meant to mention this sooner, but better late than never, right? Right???? The insane folks at cameron banga dot com have decided to once again tackle a console Zelda marathon for charity! To make things even more awesome than last time, they're teaming up with insane comrades at Mario Marathon in order to cover the 2D titles as well! As I type this, they're working their way through A Link to the Past and have already raised over $1000 for Child's Play! Their goal is to get all the way through by Sunday night, so I hope you'll all stop by and cheer them on. And if you've got any money to spare, Child's Play is a wonderful charity that I've wholeheartedly endorsed for years now, so try and throw whatever you can their way. I'm gonna head off to bed for now, but make sure you stop by their sites, and let 'em know Zelda Comic sent ya! [discuss] |

Off to Comic-Con tomorrow night! Hope I run into LittleKuriboh! How does one go about tracking down some random Internet guy when you hardly know what he looks like and he doesn't have a booth or a panel? Shout out "ATTENTION DUELISTS!" constantly until he runs up and begs me to stop? I'm genuinely curious! |

Ha! Toldja I'd finish before Comic-Con! Take that, hypothetical naysayer! Oh wait, I forgot that no one probably reads the comic anymore because I'm such a damn slacker. Joke's on me I guess!

The main reason I'm going to Comic-Con (beyond the frakkin' awesome toaster, of course): 7:15-8:15 Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Reunion- From 1988 to 1999, the long-suffering captives aboard the Satellite of Love wisecracked their way through hundreds of cinema's problem children„those delirious B-movies of yesteryear created by twisted imaginations and, possibly, the need for a tax shelter. To celebrate the show's 20th Anniversary, join a historic reunion of cast and crew, including creator Joel Hodgson, producer Jim Mallon and fellow writer/performers Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Trace Beaulieu, Frank Conniff, Mary Jo Pehl, Paul Chaplin, J. Elvis Weinstein, Bridget Nelson, and Bill Corbett for a Q&A panel hosted by self-professed "MST3K nerd" and comedian Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens). Room 6B Except for the Patton Oswalt part, yay! Not that I have anything in particular against him, but that paragraph definitely gets a "one of these things is not like the other" vibe toward the end. [discuss] |

I promised a few folks I'd post an update soon. Including myself. Just thought I'd give you some evidence that I am indeed hard at work bringing the comic back up to... existence! If you count the little boxes in that picture up above, you'll see that I only have one panel to go before I can start spriting the comic, which is generally the fastest part. Your patience through all my bullshit has been much appreciated! Oh, you want some kind of ETA? Well I'm driving down to Comic-Con this Friday to buy a toaster, so it will definitely be finished before I leave. How do you like that? I'm making reckless promises! Go me! [discuss] |

Hey Brian, looks like you owe me more fancy Caramelldansen pics! Hooray! Also, a lot of people probably owe a lot of other people five bucks. Here's hoping you're all in states where gambling is legalized. I'm not going to ask if you read Super Mega, because obviously you all do. But you might have missed the comentary video he made and posted up on YouTube! It's, like, crazy detailed comic commentary! Nothing better than analyzing something until there is NOTHING MORE TO DISCUSS OR KNOW ABOUT IT EVER. Here's hoping he makes more of 'em! |

A comic released on the regular update day?!? Let's see how long I can keep this nonsense up.

Enjoy the Internet today. And please try not to get bent out of shape. It's one friggin' day out of the year. |

Guess I had a comic in me a little earlier than I thought!

(In theory, actual comic updates will appear here in due time. My current goal is to upload something archive-worthy by next Monday) A little gift from my friend Brian, who got me irrevocably hooked on the Caramelldansen fad (YTMND links, as always, are NSFW due to excessive noise and general silliness). Open that link in the background and watch Link and Navi dance along to the music!
He says he'll make me more once I get some comics out. That may not matter to any of you, but I'll take any motivation I can get! [discuss] |

Yes there will be more comics. Yes it will be soon. No I didn't die. Yes I'm tired of making reports like this without content to back them up. But worry not, I didn't come and make a post here just to kill time, I have an announcement to make! Zelda Comic is now a proud member of the Zelda Dungeon Alliance!
Quite frankly, it's been a long time since I had much interest in the online Zelda communities. I used to be hosted by one of the more prominent Zelda information sites (which has since changed ownership a few times; I doubt any of the handful of folks I knew there are still around), but mostly I was tired of coming across the same old walkthroughs and collections of in-game imagery. Uniqueness is certainly not a quality I'd generally apply to most Zelda-centric sites. Why, then, did I decide to affiliate my comic with Zelda Dungeon, after turning down so many affiliation offers over the years? Because the intent of the Zelda Dungeon Alliance is to showcase a collection of Zelda websites offering unique content! The hope is that this will help strengthen ties in the Zelda community, and since I hate the sprite comic community (to everyone in the sprite comic community reading this: I kid! I kid 'cause I love!), I figured this was a great way to increase readership and show off my Zelda-lovin' roots. I'm really excited at the prospect of this teaming-up, and I advise everyone to go check out what Zelda Dungeon has to offer, as well as my fellow allies. To everyone who came here from Zelda Dungeon: welcome! Feel free to read through the archives, and please forgive the somewhat lacking quality of the older episodes. ^__^ They get better as you go, I promise. I've registered on your forums (username mario), so feel free to say hi to me as we pass on the eSidewalk or whatever. I'm far more likely to be at my own forums on The Orange Belt though, if you're trying to track me down. See you somewheres? Yes! To Mases: I updated my 88x31 banner. It's now current site design-compliant! So feel free to toss it up on the Allies section at your earliest convenience. And let me know what banner you'd like me to use for the Zelda Dungeon link. I'm still deliberating how I want to incorporate the link in my page design, but I figured I'd toss something up there in the interim and actually act like I'm part of some kind of alliance or something. Communicating to a single person through news updates readable by everybody sure is efficient, isn't it? Wow, it has been awhile, hasn't it? I picked up and love love LOVE Smash Bros. Brawl. If anyone's looking for friends to battle with, my fellow forumites and I have been putting our friend codes up for all to grab. Register for the forum and post your own, and we can duke it out! I have a special affinity toward R.O.B. and Mr. Game & Watch, but I switch it up often, so don't come into a battle expecting to track down my super-secret character selection pattern (Game & Watch, R.O.B., Sonic, Pit, Link... or is it???). And if you do register for the forum, try and be some kind of awesome community participant too! That would rock hard. To all you wonderful people, friends old and new alike: there is more to come. Stay tuned. [discuss] |
