Where did she get that axe? Top Web Comics is down again. That’s two days this week. We’re going to be changing the Extras page to give you all better access to the PDQs from days gone by, and I’ll be seeking out a better comics voting site.
If TWC is back up, please remember to VOTE!
Cheers,
Aleric

One thing I’ve discovered recently, is that I really don’t feel terribly comfortable writing newsposts days in advance. Don’t get me wrong: I could do it, I just don’t like to do it. It actually makes me feel rather disconnected from the comic and all of you… and that’s not something I really enjoy.
I think enough of my work is produced in a vacuum already: working so far ahead, I have to bump the schedule if I want to post anything relevant or current… which of course means I have to generally stay away from politics, popular movies, or just make the jokes so general that they really don’t touch on what’s current. Which is, as I’m sure you can imagine, frustrating.
Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying the new character. Elise shows up periodically, depending on the comic.
It’s Monday today, so that means you get a new PDQ, as long as you remember to VOTE VOTE VOTE! TWC is something that I hope will generate new readers, more readers mean I will dedicate more time to doing comics, so by voting, you’re telling me you want more HHFM.
Final note before I go:
August is going to have something special for you all to enjoy… Thought I’d let out a bit of a teaser… be ready for it.
See you Wednesday!

Whew! What a weekend. I’m tired, sore, exhausted, in pain, sleepy, sunburnt, wiped out…
You get the idea.
I need to upload the pics I took, I should have some for you by wednesday. I’ll be giving a more complete update later.
Hope you all had a great weekend, too!

Hey folks, I apologize for not getting a news post up on Monday and up late on Wednesday. You’d think that I was more on top of things, what with the volume that I’m currently producing. Still, while I’d like to think that you all come here to read my brilliant, compelling commentary, I know you just come here for the laughs. This week marks the beginning of a long arc where we finally introduce Elise, a 3rd character to our rather claustrophobic cast.
This week, HHFM has been floating somewhere just below 200 on TWC. At the moment I’m writing this, the link (and TWC) appears to be down, so when it comes back just remember to vote! New PDQ went up Monday. If Top Web Comics being down forces you to miss the PDQ, don’t worry, it’ll be available in the Extras section soon.
We’re doing some site redesign over the next week or three, adding some more features and other happy things, so keep an eye out for them.
On a real-world note, Some of you may know I live in Northern California, where there are hundreds of wildfires burning at the moment. Fear not, Webmonkey Ben and I are fine, and aside from some burning eyes and a high level of smoke in the air, we’re perfectly safe and sound.
Oh yeah, check out my Deviantart account! Over there to the right are my most recent pieces.

I hope you all had a good weekend, I know I sure did! I was at Illusive Comics and Games in Santa Clara, which is owned by one of my friends. They had their one-year anniversary for the store, and I was asked to come down, provide free sketches and hang out with them. What a fantastic place. As promised, I handed out a BRAND NEW Event Exclusive comic there, gave away about 70 of them, and put the last 10 or so on Illusive’s Free Stuff! table. If you hurry down there, they might have some left!
Remember that there’s a new PDQ today, so VOTE VOTE VOTE!! Remember that you can do so once every day, and you’ll be able to read my new PDQ series.
And if you’re a new reader, Send me an email <aleric (at) scottv (dot) com>! Let me know that I’m doing something right by giving away free comics

NEWS FLASH!!
Aleric will be at Illusive Comics and Games in Santa Clara (Map) THIS SATURDAY! I’ll be there all day for their 1 year anniversary party. Discounts, other artists, fun, games, and ZOMBIES!!! There might even be a new Exclusive Comic for anyone who drops by…
Now, back to your regularly scheduled News Post…
So I wanted to apologize for the late news post, but at least there was a new comic up for you and ready to go on Monday!
I’ve been at Fanime 2008 for the whole weekend, and I must say, it was FANTASTIC. I’ve really enjoyed talking with everyone who came by. I even did a couple of sketches for people, finished 3 comics, promoted Hell Has Found Me and Pretty Darn Quick, got some sketches from, and chatted with Scott Ramsoomair of VG cats and Shawn Handyside of Staccato! Best of all, are all the new readers that I met, the free con-exclusive comics I handed out, the piece of fan art that was given to me, let me tell you, the list just keeps going. I’ll definitely be going back.
All in all, one gigantic can of Awesome.
I also must say I learned a lot, and have made a few decisions… don’t worry, none are bad!
First: I love doing this. I don’t know why I didn’t start earlier. I must be some kind of noob or something.
Second: When I started HHFM, I swore to myself that I wouldn’t get behind, that I wouldn’t miss updates. To that end, I decided that M-W-F updates were totally doable, and I’d start training myself now to upgrade to a 5 per week schedule later. I’m currently over 2 months ahead on comics. (YAY!) Instead of converting over to a 5/week schedule now, I’m going to pull back on producing the comics a little (JUST a little) and get to work on the REST of my art. Don’t worry, I won’t be missing updates: I’m still going to be building my buffer, just a little more slowly than before. This will eventually give me a huge buffer that will give me the time to start making other cool things like shirts, books, stickers and other things you might buy… yes, I need to get out of my work cube
Third: I’m currently planning out what cons I’ll be attending in the future, and the comic I gave away at Fanime was SO successful that I’ll be doing it again. In fact, I’m planning that each con I go to will have a special Con-Exclusive comic that I will hand out for FREE. It means that the comic I handed out over the weekend will NOT be available online, and that if you want to read other Con-Exclusives, you’ll have to come say “hi!” to me.
Anyway, thanks so much for reading HHFM! Please vote for me on Top Web Comics!! A new PDQ comic (the third) went up on Monday!

Now that the raid’s done, I’m sure Rossi thought he’d get some real adventuring done. If you look closely, you might notice one gigantic glaring error. Ok more like a small bespectacled one. One of my readers called me on the continuity issue: (paraphrased to protect the innocent)
gnome…. from where?
Did I miss the comic where he shows up? wtf?
More More More HHFM!
-Jenn
Thanks for pointing that out, Jenn. To be honest, I pulled a comic or two out of the current arc, because I wanted to expand on it more later, but because I’m already working so far ahead of schedule, I totally forgot that I included that little guy standing next to Rossi…
Consequently, we’ve got our first serious continuity error. Congratulations Jenn, you win a gold star for the day! And thanks for the encouragement, I love hearing that people want more!
I know I mentioned that lots of changes are coming to HHFM’s site, and I’m sure you’ve all been terribly disappointed that you actually haven’t seen much change. Let me be the first to tell you that there have actually been a lot of changes… they just happen to be behind the curtain, under the hood, what have you. Trust me, there’s more website and content to come. I do promise you that, so stay tuned.
Finally, HHFM is currently hovering somewhere around 525 on Top Web Comics. Please remember to vote! I loves me mah voterz! You get free jokes and images when you vote. Really! So please remember to clicky the linky, then go tell a friend to read HHFM. It shouldn’t be painful. I have yet to break a finger clicking a link.
