Holy Hand Grenade!

Another late update… I have to stop making apologies, and I guess I need to adjust my schedule.

When Josh and I started the comic back in April, I had a lot more free time on my hands than I do now, almost half a year later; I need to find some time between pages to work on personal projects that have taken a backseat to Gone To Ground.

You see, my goal for this year is to have one of my projects finished and self-published so that I can take it around to some cons next year and see what kind of interest I can generate.

So I’ve decided to take the comic off the weekly schedule (which I’ve been missing two thirds of the time) and go with a bimonthly-if-not-weekly approach.

Hopefully this won’t be a permanent change, and hopefully not TOO many of you will lose interest and desert the 401!

    You do realise that Sarge should have 3 chevrons; at the moment he’s a Lance-corporal

    …And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu… [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]… And the Lord spake, saying, “First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceedest on to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.” Amen.

    I also like how the sarge thinks “Squat” is an insult of some kind…

    Your comics are very interesting and funny!

    As TSOALR got down I changed to your comic an I´m not disappointed about that.

    @Ben
    Sure… if ‘Sarge’ was a 20th Century Marine, he’d be a Lance Corporal. Do you realize that (you spelled ‘realise’ wrong) it’s a comic based on a fictional game in the future? Some IG units use Master-Ninja-Person instead of Captain. I’m not sure what the rank looks like for that one though. Way to nitpick at a pretty slick comic.

    Nice comic. Keep it up. Despite the slowdown, I still come here to check it out for new episodes.

    Nash….You’ve almost sent the re-release date back a year…watch it… :D

    Great comic, if I knew what an RSS Feed was I’d definately subscribe, but for now I’ll just fervishlyreturn to the site each week to see if there’s been an update :)

    GO GUARD!

    Hi!

    Gotta support Micha, because after TSOALR went down (and I’ll never give up hope that it’ll rise some day to new success, maybe when GW is broke because of raising prices too much), you’re the comic about W40k that’s most fun to read. So stay at it, doesn’t matter if you update once a week, or a month…
