Ok, so I’m sorry for interrupting the current Omnissiah arc for two days in a row, but this happened to me the other day, and I just HAD to make a comic about it. There are so many things we do and say and accept in our current life, and they strike me as little more than ways to calm the masses or distract us from what’s REALLY important.
Things get so hyped up that before long everyone thinks that whatever we’re talking about is a great idea or at the very least, terribly important, and we all lose sight of what’s actually happening. It’s like some demented shell game we all play on ourselves to make us feel better.
-Rant Over-
Hey Everyone! TWC has us ranked in the mid- to high-200’s!! that’s JUST FANTASTIC. I’m SO excited. So excited in fact, that if we make it to the first page, ranking somewhere between 1 and 100, I want to make a thank-you gift for you all. Any suggestions? Requests?
Finally, this is my second reminder that there’s an Extra Special Sunday Edition coming this week, so be sure to tune in on Sunday…It might even have something to do with Mother’s day.
I’m just saying…
See you Friday!

From the TMI file: in a game called Warhammer 40,000, technological know-how has devolved to a religion, where ‘tech-priests’ call on ‘machine spirits’ to ‘heal themselves’. Their machine-god is known as the Omnissiah, and they have to learn and follow ancient rites and prayers to revive and appease the machine spirits.
We call it cussing at the machine while we fix it.
Anyway, I’ve only gotten one poor, lonely single email about wanting desktop images… so unless I get more, it’ll be put on the backburner for a while so I can get other things finished. Either way, you all get more content, and I’m happy to do it.
As far as emails go, that one lonely email is sad all by himself. He needs friends to keep him company, (and to prevent me from singing to keep him company). So drop me a line! I’ll be sure to read it. Probably even respond to it! (gasp)
Someone asked me yesterday what voting for HHFM actually does, so I thought I’d tell you all as well. You know, in case you were wondering… or even if you weren’t… I would be ecstatic to make it to within the top 100 comics of TWC, because that puts a link for us on their front page. It’s a tool to get more readers, which encourages me to write more comics, so we can get more readers, so I write more… well you get the idea. I’m trying to turn a vicious cycle into a vortex of web-destruction that sucks everything into my comic, and thereby rule the world. So far, HHFM has made it all the way to the mid-450’s on Top Web Comics! So Clicky the Linky and add another vote!
See you next week!

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing some desktops for your computers, what do you think? Any particular characters? Settings? Special requests? I’ve never done any desktop images, really, and I’d hate to put a bunch of effort into something that no one’s interested in…
of course, they WOULD be color…
Send me an email! Tell me what you think. While you’re at it, vote for HHFM on TWC! We’ve moved all the way up to the high 400’s, so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for voting!
Remember to share HHFM with your friends. Send them a link and tell them that HHFM is the greatest, bestest most coolest comic you’ve ever read… and it’s free, too. You don’t have to buy a whole newspaper subscription to read it

Sorry for the lack of news posts last week, folks. I came down sick with a headcold. Combine that with spring pollen-allergies and it made for one very horrible-sounding sick-feeling Aleric… but worry not, I still got comics done! This week I’m aiming at getting the Extras section up, and it’ll have all kinds of cool stuff, starting with banners and avatars and more from there.
Heck, I’ll even let you all know when new things are posted to it
I hope you enjoy the new story arc, it’s a bit longer than the last one, but it’s got some great moments, I think.
Don’t forget to vote for HHFM in Top Web Comics (link to the left!) new Incentive image should be up in the morning!! this time it’s some old sketch work for a comic idea.
Update @ 2:13pm
Top Web Comics incentive image has been fixed. My mistake! Sorry, folks!

Some time ago while writing scripts for HHFM, I realized that while World of Warcraft was fun and all, I really couldn’t see me dedicating a long-standing comic to just WoW. Certainly it would be fun, but eventually World of Warcraft would shut down or be replaced, and then the entire comic would be dated. Not to mention inaccessible to more than a few readers out there.
So I decided to branch out a bit. Of course, that could also mean that it becomes a lot more difficult to describe. So now HHFM is a MMO-Gaming-Pop culture-Movie comic featuring an undead human(oid?) named Rossi and an ork named James.
Please remember to vote for HHFM in Top Web Comics (link to the left!) new Incentive image should be up in the morning!!

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.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled story arc.
Ah, the Bard. So eloquent a writer, his verse has been an inspiration to artists for generations. Although I suspect he’d be clubbing me with a manuscript if he could see what I just did with Hamlet’s soliloquy. On the other hand, considering how much of his verse has been taken out of high school curriculum, maybe he’d actually applaud me for doing my little part to keep his works alive.
So harken friends, and pray attend my words. Methinks it would be a day fine-spent if thou wouldst go and peruse one of his many masterpieces.
…Even if it is the Klingon Hamlet.
One other thing I should mention. It was brought to my attention that I failed to thank someone for their part in getting HHFM off the ground. This person is near and dear to my heart, and I apologize for the oversight: Jamie, thank you for providing such a perfect name for my comic, and for the inspiration that you have provided thus far.Finally, I’m happy to share, I got my first FAN MAIL the other day!! I’m so excited, here’s a little bit of it to share with you all!
Just want to say right now your comic looks promising and a like a good read. I will be following it. Just as an FYI I was the kid with the 40k Dark Templar army talking to you about WoW.
Thanks for the encouragement, Samus! It’s great to hear that people are enjoying my comic… and if you stay tuned long enough, you may even see a comic based on some of the things we chatted about… For the rest of you, let this serve as fair warning! Any positive emails I get may encourage me to make more comics…
…I’m just saying.
(Pssst! Remember to vote! Votey vote vote! Use the vote button to the left and VOTE!)

I hope you all have gotten your taxes done, Tomorrow’s the last day. I know I need to send some of my tax papers in. Fun times. Sorry for the interruption of the current arc. I just couldn’t resist throwing in this little observation about how many tax day advertisements, reminders, and other things we’re seeing everywhere.
So: No, this comic isn’t JUST about World of Warcraft.
Oh yeah… there’s a new Vote! incentive for this week! Want to see mah werkspace? VOTE! Link is on the left!! After you vote, tell your friends how Aleric is a fantastically funny cartoonist, and that you’re totally addicted to reading Hell Has Found Me. So what if you’re fibbing a little… it’s all for a good cause. Keeping my self esteem from sinking into a swirling black pit of despair.
