Is Oglaf down?

New set of pages is up, so the site’s getting slammed again. ;_;

It was the cliffhanger that caused it, I wager - I think this is the first time the same story has continued in two consecutive updates. We now know why Ivan was kidnapped, at least.

Also, apparently, our discussion of the cumsprites was prescient.:smiley:

Yep, it’s dead as a door nail for me. Thanks for using the spoiler box.

The Apprentice has a name? When/how did we learn it?

Down for me as well.

We learn Ivan’s name in the Rowboat Incident.

Same as last week. I’m thinking he must take the entire site down for maintenance at the same time he installs the new comic.

Actually, the cartoonist is a she, I believe.

Well, I got all three pages to load. Took some waiting though; I’d just keep hitting “try again” while I read some other page in a different window. I also copied the address of the first page’s JPEG directly, so the site didn’t need to try loading all the buttons and other stuff. Here’s a broken link the first comic (since it is NSFW), just increment the number at the end to get the other pages.

Huh, I missed that. Thanks.

Although the writer is a male. (The artist’s identity is known, though I can’t remember her name or other work, ATM…the writer is keeping himself anonymous, for now.)

I tried to set up an Oglaf general discussion thread a few months ago, but it almost completely failed to catch on.

To the OP, the site is swamped most Sundays when the new strip comes out. I suspect it’s running off an underpowered server that can’t handle its recent increase in popularity.

Finally got it to work; it’s another one with an Epilogue page. I liked the epilogue’s mouseover.

Trudy Cooper.

EDIT: She also did Platinum Grit.

New one is up. I like how she is hoist by her own petard.

She got what was coming to her.
