I don’t think we’ll see a new strip before Jan 2013. I hope I’m wrong.
I’m afraid you’re right, but I am willing to wait until he is healed and ready to go. I can always go back and reread all the nice copies of the books I now own. And this is the only thing that makes me glad I didn’t spring for the signed copies.
While seemingly no progress on the injury front, you can while away the time, as you’re waiting for OOTS to resume, with some tasty metal miniatures of the gang.
They look great, FWIW.
Hell, one story hour I read often goes 6 months or more without an update.
But, Burlew did let us know that there will be a Christmas ornament this year, and he also provides a thumb update.
Only 20%? Oh dear.
“Miko and her one-horse open sleigh prove that it’s not technically a surprise attack if you’re jingling all the way.” Hee. And I can certainly understand why he didn’t release that ornament five years ago. Everyone back then was almost certain that Miko would be back in some way, shape or form.
I believe that is in the short term. Long term prognosis is supposed to be good.
864 New strip!!!
Reference to thumb accident! Plot recap and slight progression!!! Too many exclamation points!!!
Huzzah!
And there was much rejoicing sub[/sub].
Of course Elan knows who’s under the helmet. It fits the rules of drama.
I almost didn’t notice the title; it’s a reference to the last line of the comic I believe.
Works for me!
I had been kinda disappointed we didn’t get at least a little update for Christmas. A new strip for New Years Eve does nicely, Mr. Burlew.
Boy, that panel about the thumb is going to make no sense at all to a new reader going through the archives in six months. It’s still funny as a non sequitur, though.
I think not. He’ll note the remark about the three month hiatus, and then see the part about the injured thumb. Shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.
yay!
It usually is.
i didnt get ti and I KNOW about the damn thumb
