Courtney:
Aww!
And now for that big announcement.
Starting today, we are going on a 2-week hiatus. This means we’ll be back on August 11.
Victor and I are going to be writing the entire script for, and in my case getting ahead on drawing, our prequel arc– and when we return, we will launch into it immediately. Click the link above to learn more about (or be reminded of) our special side-story! We’ve been thinking about it for a really long time, so it’s exciting to be able to sit down and finalize it.
Unfortunately, that means for the coming months, the main story will be taking a vacation. It’s also fitting that we ended with Lorelei and Cyril, since they obviously won’t be in the prequel (nor will Davis). But we hope you’ll enjoy getting to see the other characters interact with different group dynamics, and witnessing another of Skärva’s more traditional schemes against Blank.
We apologize for there being no comics for a couple weeks, but Victor and I really want to be in the right headspace for this and not feel rushed, so that we can make this side story a cohesive package which represents the very best we’re capable of right now, both art- and writing-wise. (Really do click that link so you can find out why we’re doing this.)
I’m super excited about the new – well, old, actually – adventures to come! And after that, some crazy awesome stuff in the main story that I think you guys will love. Seriously, from here on out, this webcomic is just packed with stuff I can’t wait to show you. Thanks for coming on this crazy ride with us!
Love,
-Courtney
(PS: The plot of the prequel was hinted at, pretty subtly, at one point in the pirate arc. Anyone care to make a guess on what Skärva’s plan might involve?)
Dang it, after I catch up with the comic, it goes on a two-week hiatus. Oh well, catch you then!
Ahh, sorry about that! I hope you enjoyed catching up. We’ll see you soon!
I’m hyped for this prequel thing. All aboard the hype train! Choo choo!
Yay! Me too!
Darn. I already used the heart attack from cuteness joke. Guess I’ll just go with variations of “aw” and emoticons…
Dawwwww >w<
Yes, please don’t have another heart attack! Take some bayer…
I can’t wait for the prequel arc! … But I’m going to have to. : P
If your year has been anything like mine, those two weeks are just gonna fly by before you know it ^_^;
My prediction for the prequel is it will have something to do with how the Skärva’s got their curse, maybe it has to do with the First being a pirate, considering sharks have a thing for living in sunken ships.
It’s going to be about Jim. It’s about Jim, right? In all actuality, Maybe it’s about how our favorite minion group got their roots.
At least someone is feeding Cyril. We wouldn’t want another skeleton in the bard closet.
Oooh, how exciting! We will see you then!
I really want Cyril and Lorelei to be related. Best cousins everrrrr
I can’t wait to see the coming stories and prequels! It’ll be weird not having Lorelei around.
Poor Cyril, maybe he loot a lot of weight, so his face isn’t as rounded as before (at last he is eating something).
Lorelei and Cyril would be an adorable pair of best friends/cousins/brother and sister. I repeat: they together are ADORABLE!
I read the prequel before this, so I believe I know where that reference to the plot was. It was when Skarva mentioned having taken a sword fighting lesson on this page, right? http://thefourthcomic.com/?comic=slice-is-in-this-comic
That’s it! I wonder, did you happen to catch the reference to my favorite game on the page before that?
pardon me.
HNNNNNNNNNNG THE FEEEEEEEELSSSSS
okay I’m HNNNNG almost good….
another fantastic chapter. i love how this all came together- the twist with lorelei right at the end is a great hook for the future, too. and awwwWWW SHE DOES HAVE A FAMILY, SHE’S SO RIGHT
