Hi. It's been a year since FOXHOUND ended so I thought it would be an appropriate time to make a new post. Thank to everyone who keeps writing in with nice things to say about the comic; I'm glad that new people continue to come across it and enjoy some video game characters making angry eyebrows and bitching about bad science.
The comic is over, done, finito, and I don't plan to resurrect it. But I am feeling the itch to start doing something creative again. It will be not be on a frequent or predictable schedule, but with the power of RSS (the link to the feed is still on the left side of the page) you will not miss whatever it is, whenever it is.
Sorry about the few hours of downtime today, apparently the way I wrote the code that printed the dates for the side menu was really inefficient and was slowing down the database server to the point where Dreamhost had to pull the plug. I don't know why it only became a problem this morning - I haven't changed that code since 2006 - but anyway, until I work out a better way to do it, the dates are gone. I'm sure you can figure out whether there's been an update or not.
I've been getting a lot of emails asking if I'll be starting another webcomic once FOXHOUND wraps up (e.g. "The Last Days of Dead Cell"). I very much appreciate the sentiment, but I'm sorry to say that until I've finished my Ph.D., another project with a strict update schedule is just not in the cards.
I do plan on doing something. It just has to be something that I can ignore entirely when I have to bury myself in lab work for a week or two.
FOXHOUND starts again this Friday and will follow a M-W-F update schedule until the very end... and if I'm lucky, I can be done before MGS4 is released and my entire backstory is contradicted. Again.
