This comic is almost an exact representation of what happened to me at Disneyland, sans weapons. They have these little sunshade gazebos with tables and a bunch of people there to inspect your bags… most of these people are usually older, under-equipped individuals performing incomplete inspections of your bags and you. Like so much of the rest of Disneyland, it’s a facade, a veneer of security to make people feel better about themselves, because the only things they’re going to find are people who are too stupid to hide their drugs or weapons, or too bold or brazen to think they’re actually going to get caught.
It actually made me feel less safe by letting me think about it… what would happen if someone actually wanted to cause harm? With no radios or other alert devices, no metal detectors or x-ray machines, what are a few senior citizens going to do?
Ultimately, this is just more evidence that we are a people who cling to our lies and falsehoods, because it’s easier to believe than it is to know.
Back to more happy topics: apparently, I can’t read a calendar; in regards to our special HHFM holiday event, I actually meant Monday December FIRST instead of the second… so yeah… in just 11 days, HHFM is bringing you something fun, grab a friend and drag them over so they can read from the beginning!
As always, don’t forget to Vote for HHFM! New PDQ was posted Monday!!
See you Friday!

We all have those moments when some random person online trolls us, dragging us kicking and screaming into some pointless fight or argument, no matter what we do to shut these influences out. Most cases we can’t do anything about it, other than making an attempt to take the moral high ground and not respond. Even then, we sometimes get drawn in.
Is this bizarre kind of one-upmanship something that’s inherent to the human condition? Is it some kind of bred-in behavior? Maybe it’s just a subtle need to justify our existence to ourselves.
Too bad Elise can no longer tune them out…
Been kind of quiet about my plans lately, I’m working on the first 2 Tshirt designs, maybe I can have the prototypes for sale by Christmas. You know, what with the rate of me always doing lots of stuff… don’t worry, I’ll show em to you soon… as soon as I figure out that part of Illustrator 
In the mean time, remember to VOTE! There was a new PDQ on Monday!

Well that dear friends, is the end of this year’s special Aleric’s Birthday event. Come Monday, it’ll be alright, and we’ll be going back to a 3/week schedule (with apologies to Mr. Buffett).
In case you all forgot, I’m reminding you that during this Labor Day Weekend, I’ll be at Con-x-treme handing out a NEW con-exclusive comic! Additionally, I will have Brand New Ultra-Shiny Hell Has Found Me Buttons for sale there! These nifty little guys are 1.25 inches across, with the fancy pin inside the button metal itself, so it won’t come popping out.
For those who can’t make it to Con-x-treme, don’t worry, I’ll be making these available on the website… soon(ish). In all honesty, I’m probably going to get a few more buttons made and then combine it as a button pack, to make the shipping worth your while.
In the mean time, remember to vote for us! New PDQ on Monday!!
Have a great weekend, I’m going to be helping some friends move on Saturday, and on Sunday, I’ll be working hard to finish some art projects. FUN!

The day creeps ever closer to the conclusion of this series, and similarly ever closer to my 33rd birthday… cue the dramatic chords. In the mean time, enjoy today’s comic! If you need a little help understanding what’s going on, you can go to this link to read the beginning of the current arc and see what’s going on with the update schedule. Remember to vote for us!
Last night, a good number of my friends and I went to a fantastic fondue restaurant, and when we returned, I found this happy little guy on my doorstep:
Yes, that’s right, a young opossum was hanging out in front of my neighbor’s door, which is incidentally directly across from my door. As any normal suburbanite might do, I marveled at the little critter for a short time and took a couple of photos (from a goodly distance away). As any intelligent human might do, after that I circled around and chased off it off by tossing keys against the balcony to scare it off. It obligingly scuttled down the stairs and went on its way.
This did give us the opportunity to meet our new neighbors and introduce them to our cats, one of them being Crash:
Yes, you get to put up with me gushing about animals this evening. I blame the fantastic food, the wonderful company, and the excellent wine. Crash insists on sleeping underneath blankets, usually with the lamb. I don’t get it, but hey, as long as he’s happy, right?
Other cool news, Hell Has Found Me will be at Con-x-treme over Labor day weekend, handing out a NEW con-exclusive comic! Come by and say hello! Some additional great news as it becomes available!
See you there!

Whew! That’s the end of the first week of Aleric’s Special Birthday Present! I hope you’ve been enjoying it. Monday will bring the 2nd half of the comics, and with it a new (special) PDQ… More news about that on Monday!
Additionally, Buzzcomics finally finished their system update, so now their interface is all hip and cool and semi-animated… additionally, they have an updated button system, and I added a new Buzzcomics button over there on the left, so now you can see the rank of HHFM’s standing on BOTH Buzzcomics and TWC.
Remember to vote for us and get your PDQ comic fix!
See you Monday!

Ok, so here it is.
If anyone has been following along on the Facebook group, you might have had a hint that this would be the result. A Hell Has Found Me parody of the brilliant “Boot To The Head”. Of course, I hear you ask “But Aleric, isn’t that rather long to make into a parody? I don’t want to have to read it for a whole month!” Well you see, that’s where the second part of this special event comes in.
You see, many of the cartoonists I see online seem to have this idea that on their birthday, they get to take a break. Well screw that, I say! It’s MY birthday and I’m going to give you all the present of me working a little harder for you!! For the next to weeks, Hell Has Found Me is going to a 5-day/week update schedule!!
Yes, you heard me right. 5 days per week, for the next 2 weeks. Happy Birthday!
The Dr. Demento show and the albums that they released are just some of the many influences I’ve had throughout my life, and I’ll admit that they have probably been one of the greater contributing factors to my particularly demented sense of humor… so this is a little of me giving back and sharing the love with the rest of the world.
In other news, I’ve been putting together my first real merchandise this past weekend, so there will be buttons coming to a con near you! I’m also going to be previewing shirt designs here over the next few weeks, possibly months. I’d love to get some feedback, and when we switch over to HellHasFoundMe.com, we’ll have a forum available for you to all talk to each other with!
Anyway, Please enjoy the next two weeks of comics!
Remember to vote at Top Web Comics! New PDQ today!
Cheers!

Well, looks like James is all better, so my guess is that this is the end of the Standins series…
I wonder what’s next…
If you want some hints, go check out the Facebook group…
Expect a big post on Monday…
(Don’t forget to give an extra vote on Top Web Comics)

A little love for my Tyranid-playing friends out there…
Okay, so it’s Wednesday and I promised to share some of the really great things from the vacation.
First one is: I’ve got a bunch of photos that I took, and will be sharing them as soon as I can get them onto my computer and resized, color-corrected, etc.
Second one is: Coming to a con… near me… Hell Has Found Me has a banner!
This happy little image is on a physical banner that I’ll be dragging along to cons to say “HI! Over HERE!!”
You also may notice the “.com” part of the banner. Yes, HHFM will be changing websites (and very likely webhosts) very shortly. This allows us to bring additional features to the comic, and offers Ben the Webmonkey fewer headaches for the coding side of things.
Don’t worry, we’ll make it as painless as possible for you.
Anyway, I’m keep other projects under wraps for now, but rest assured, there are more very cool things coming!

P.S. I’m not bothering to participate in this “beta” that buzzComix is going through, as I said before, it would have been nice if they actually bothered to have the beta test not on their main site, but that’s just me I guess. So, another week or so of not bothering with buzzComix. Top Web Comics is still accepting votes and, as promised, I fixed the PDQ issue, so there’s a happy new PDQ for you all to read there.

Well, there was my first missed update. We can blame it on a technical glitch and bad communication. I’m so sorry folks! The thing is, because of the special upcoming August event, we’re going to go ahead and backfill Friday’s comic (you’ll have to go back one to see it) since it was already scheduled and to bump the schedule would cause our upcoming Event to not happen according to schedule.
It’s not like we didn’t have the comic already drawn, and I’m still close to 2 months ahead. So, we’re still shaking the system down, looking for glitches, so I’m really, REALLY sorry for this one. It was avoidable if I was a little more on top of things. On a similar note, my PDQ is going to be late, so go ahead and vote on Tuesday. There will be a new comic then (since I mis-counted and didn’t have one pre-scanned for this Monday). I should also have the buzzComix button figured out by then (yes, I do know they’re going through a version change… you would think that they would beta test it without disturbing everyone, wouldn’t you).
Today, I’m bumming around Los Angeles, taking a nap, and in the evening driving home from Los Angeles to San Jose. I have some REALLY NEAT stuff to tell you about, but I won’t be ready to until about Wednesday (some ducks of coolness to line up). oh, and when I say I’m ‘bumming around’, I actually mean that I’m ferrying the Katgirl to and from a conference, and sitting in the hotel room working on my own things.
Yay working vacations!
Everything will be back to normal by Tuesday. Again, I apologize!
