Talk About Sandwich World!

[MisterIrony]

Do it!

Okay, yes, I know. More updates.

They're on the way, I promise. You can even ask my roommate!

In the meantime, make me feel important! Who do you think will die next in the strip? Because someone will.*

* Not the Safe that says "Yes".

[Rabidazell]

The question is: Does the safe do the killing?

[Danschechtman]

Yes.

[Korian]

Come now, you fools! The Writer has asked for our adoration, and you have withheld it! I hope I have not come too late. Please Mr Irony, please give us the updates!
Meanwhile, I'm going to bet against the birdgirl. While the health inspector is more "deserving", I think the death of the poor birdgirl would better fit the mode of the strip. At the same time, a half-demon health inspector could be fun.
I've got to admit that I only recently found the comic, that I read through the archives faster than is necessarily healthy, and that I probably need to let it stew in my brain more before I chatter too much more, but let's blame the rambling on the disorienting shock and horror of finding the tale hanging in limbo after the joy of devouring the first part.

[Korian]

It strikes me... What if Phil were killed off just to thwart the no-main-character ever dies idea and then the Safe turns out to be the lord of whatever hell Phil falls into. Phil then asks to return and the Safe says...

[MisterIrony]

Geez! I turn my back for two seconds (read: about a month) and someone posts!

Maybe we should run bets as to who is more likely to die. Also, it's interesting that the people still at the regular store aren't being considered...

[Korian]

Maybe we should run bets as to who is more likely to die.

I'm thinking that might mean new-thread-with-poll time, but I'm almost afraid to start it. Either I'd get it right and then no one would show up, or I'll be pecked to death by rabid detail-mongers for missing someone, even if it's something obscure like Dino-Child in Scene 87Q. Care to bless us with a betting poll thread, Mister Irony, using your authorial authority?

Meanwhile, I'll see about setting up a nice drop box for monetary bets. It's all about choosing which small island...

[MisterIrony]

A poll, you say? That I could, but I don't want to give anything away! (The characters that won't fit on the poll would automatically be excluded -- unless I purposely misleaded everyone by omitting them -- which I now can't do since I just mentioned it).

Anyway, I don't think there'd be enough people to get more than, like, three respondes.

[Korian]

Alright, Mister Irony, just bring on the update. If you start back and ping a few other friendly comics to make note when you do... well...
<ominous> If you update it, they will come </ominous>

[MisterIrony]

I'm a page and a half away from updating a month-long storyline.

I just... I'm <i>really</i> busy.

[Korian]

No worries, man. My prod was really just my looking at the empty room and admitting the obvious out-loud: it all hinges on an update and the dissemination thereof. For my own part, I understand busy. I've got an unfinished desk of which only five pieces have been sanded, a bedroom that has been taped off but is still waiting for me to open the two buckets of paint, and a "jillion" other things incidental to moving and unpacking and settling in.

I hope that you are well, and that that which keeps you busy is something you enjoy.

[MisterIrony]

Well anyway, starting the first Monday of July will be a 17-page storyline.

[Korian]

More Sandwich World would be a lovely way to celebrate the traditional American holiday known as All Fingers Eve, a quiet pause before July 4 and the ritualistic return of small explosives.

Really, though... We will be grateful for the Updates whenever you grace us with them.

[MichaelCL]

that was... unexpected

[Korian]

Frightening memories of working at a coffeeshop...
on the day after an ice storm...
The shop had power,
but the major research university campus literally across the street did not.

Thanks for bringing back the comic, Mister Irony.

[Korian]

Alright... So entertaining the robot's curiosity means contributing to the next little vignette of his observation? Well, I guess I could use this as an opportunity to lay odds on the source of the promised death, but whenever something seems to start lining up, I tend to get more concerned about guessing instead of less.

[MisterIrony]

Argh!

Just when I get things up and rolling again, it all comes to a screeching halt.

As it happens right now, my schedule is too full to draw Sandwich World on a regular basis. Over the week-end I had time to draw half a strip and that was about it. The only alternate solution I can find is for me to get someone else to draw Sandwich World, but until such a thing happens, looks like I'll have to put it on hold... again.

However, I would like to thank all y'all for still sticking around as long as you did. It does mean a lot to me!

If you know any idle artists, send 'em my way.[/i]

[Eyeless Blond]

Drat, just when I find this place coming back to life too.

Good to see you still intermittently alive though. Maybe we'll see you again sometime?

[MisterIrony]

I sure hope so! I'm probably going to be able to squeeze out a few strips every now and then (holy CRAP what a horrible mental image), so yes, I will also remain intermittently alive.

Until I can find someone to draw for me or my schedule changes radically (which it very well might, anything is possible), things will remain iffy.
