So much for 404 errors, now we get "temporarily down/offline" errors; like a few days ago if anyone remembers . Though that's probably the same thing. The good ol' re-directed message by Old Philosopher .

"Temporarily off-line

Hi there,
Looks like there's a bit of a problem with our server. We've notified the server administrators and are waiting for things to come back up. Please check back again sometime tommorow (12/2/2004). Sorry about that!

When will the maddness stop!? HAHAHA

Actually, development wasn't on the list, but I suppose that I could bring that user into the mess. As a matter of fact, I have a good way to do it.

Unfortunately, Inkhana, I do not have sprites for Ciel or Leviathan, so no one gets to be them. I could get sprite-ripping abilities (which I always prefer when making a sprite comic), but in this case that would be definitely illegal. If anyone has any I wouldn't mind using them...

Leave it to me! XD Calbhach collects them, so I have access to tons of them. Just PM me with all the characters you need, and I'll find them. Or I can get some website links, too, whichever you prefer.

Dang, I've got to start stopping in CAA more...

I HATE 404 errors... this strip has made my day... lol.

[Kat Walker]

And the plot thickens.

Keep us posted, UC.

[Mr_Anderson]

ur good with paint

[Spades]

Hellooooooo! Ash its me one of your Maine friends....he he. Guess who. HA your right.
Hope all is goign well for you! we still have your sappy thank you goodbye note kicken around up here. And yeah thats it. Bye

[Omega Amen]

The things that I miss....

Excellent work, Ashley and uc pseudonym. My only criticism about Ashley's second installment is that I was a little bit out of character by not capitalizing the letter p in the line "preach it, brother." However, that is really small stuff.

I like this... a lot.

[uc pseudonym]

I will take you up on that, Inkhana. New sprites will force me to do some rewriting, but it should not effect the third comic, which will be up in about a week. Hopefully there should be no undue slowdown. This also means that formerly cameo-only mods will receive actual roles.

Thank you for the assorted compliments.

[Aka-chan]

Keep it up! ^__^

[Mithrandir]

OK. I fixed the message - I think... >.< It's tought to FORCE the system to crash, you know...

[Yahshua]

It seen to me that our fearless leader Ashley haven't completely beat the beast of 404 error message I still get the messages from time to time which it displace like this
There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Hi there,
This is oldphilosopher. I know this is annoying, but we can't do anything about it right now. Please DO NOT REFRESH for at least TWO MINUTES. The problem will likely have gone away by then, but refreshing now will make that delay longer. Thanks for understanding!Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser after two minutes!!!

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

[true_noir_chloe]

UC, the first time I'm commenting on your additions - ROFL, great job! I look forward to more stick figures from Ashley and UC's continuing Zero-Ashley comics. ^____^

[DragonSlayer]

Lol, that was great, even at minight;)

[Jasdero]

XD!!!! Awesome additions~ X3

[uc pseudonym]

I now present you with updates. Please, before clicking the link, read the remainder of my post. Initially, I apologize for the belated nature of this update. It was caused by several factors, including but not limited to:
A) I have more important things to do.
B) Inkhana was kind enough to get me links to new sprites, which absorbed some time.
C) I was not certain which sprite ShiroiHikari should use.
D) It is essentially finals week for me.

Point D, however, results in a second update along with the first, about which I must include a lengthy explanation. First, this was a product of my state of mind last night: I had just finished nearly two hours of hard core studying for a Calculus class that has caused me considerable difficulty, and immediately after spent some time nitpicking over pixels, which can become quite frustrating in MS Paint. Hence, I wanted to vent some frustration in a productive fashion, and an idea occurred to me.

If I completely cast quality to the winds, how fast could I make a webcomic? I decided to time from start to finish: I began timing the moment I opened Paint (with no idea whatsoever what I would do) and stopped when I was ready to save for the first and only time. The answer to my question? Four minutes, thirty three seconds. Keep that in mind when viewing the secondary comic.

You'll notice I provide only one link; it takes you to a simple index page that can be used to link to all the comics. This makes my task simpler, in that when I update I can merely show the same link, which will now include a new comic link.

With all that having been said, I hope you enjoy these.

NOTICE: I was briefly editing the site, so it was down for a moment (though it should be back up at this point). I apologize for any inconvenience.

[CDLviking]

HAHA!

The time trial is my favorite yet.

[kaji]

Umm, well... You did make it in four minutes, thirty three seconds.
For that, I give you a cookie.

*gives UC cookie*

[Ashley]

Great stuff UC! I'm stuck at the gigantic wall of uninspired nothingness as far as my little comic goes, but I cracked up at yours. "They fear the caffeine RAGE!" bahahahaha.

[Mangafanatic]

Yes, the caffeine rage line was classic, but I've gotta say that the "Acid Trip: Academic Crunch." had me in stitchs. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I'm taking finals as well. . . *ponder* Either way, it was great.

[uc pseudonym]

Thank you, all. The time trial comic was enjoyable to make, though I'm pretty sure I can do better if I ever do something similar.

Umm, well... You did make it in four minutes, thirty three seconds.

*gives UC cookie*

Thank you for the cookie. You do realize there is a real comic as well, correct?

I intend to update in perhaps a week.

[inkhana]

Bwahahaha, they're both good...I didn't know you could be that random, UC...XD

[Gypsy]

I really want to know who else is alive. o.O

[ShiroiHikari]

ack, the bandwidth ran out -_- I'll check back in an hour or so...

[Aka-chan]

XD Too good! Wow, your fast work is really good, too: very to the point and highly amusing.

[Zilch]

RIPOFF!!!

RI-HI-HI-HIPOFF!!!

Not bad. Needs much work to be as good as I!!!

(and yes, my nose is this high because my feet stink)

[uc pseudonym]

Gypsy: What kind of dark webcomic do you think I'm running, here?

ShiroiHikari: I figured that would happen; the page has been getting a lot of hits. Please comment whenever you can view it, as you actually have a sprite in this comic.

[kaji]

Thank you for the cookie. You do realize there is a real comic as well, correct?

Yep. ^_^ It looked very nice too, but the dialog was a little hard to follow I didn’t feel like it was going anywhere. But it did look very very nice.

Note: I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just hard to get into anything else once you have experienced the ‘Zilch Factor’.

[uc pseudonym]

Ah, I know you aren't. I will fairly readily admit that the dialogue for this comic wasn't really going anywhere quickly, but I wanted to use nine panels to get across only three concepts, four if you count randomness. As far as I recall, that doesn't happen again, though all the dialogue hasn't been written.

It is unfortunate that reading Zilch's work reduced your enjoyment of my own. I had hoped they wouldn't even be considered together, as they're really completely different genres.

Actually, I have to deny your statement: as webcomics go, mine actually doesn't look that great. Pretty sloppy work, really (though a certain amount of that is due to MS Paint).

[Ashley]

Considering you haven't turned me into a moogle and promptly blew me up, I actually like yours just as much as ol' Zilch's And you're right, they're 2 totally different KINDS of comics to me, so I never thought to really compare the two.
