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, 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!

Note: I’m going to leave this news post up through friday, so it will cover Stand ins: Space Marine #2 and beyond… See below.
Sending out a little more love for the 40k crowd. I hope James gets better soon. I dunno how much Rossi can take.
I’ve been reading a lot of books lately. I get into these cycles where I just devour books. I’ll read 3 or 5 of them. it’ll take me a few days to maybe a week for each, then I’ll dramatically slow down reading. I haven’t figured out if it’s a matter of me not being interested in the story I slow down on, or if it’s some strange circadian rhythm that has something to with the phase of the moon, the distance of the apogee of object 90376 in the Oort Cloud, whether my kitty Crash sneezed within the last week, or just what.
During my voracious reading period, the act of reading each of these books goes the same: the first quarter to third of the book I read fairly slowly. it takes me 2-3 days to read it. the second third of the book, I’m usually quite engaged and read it during my spare time, lunches, afternoons; this usually lasts a day or two. The final third of the book I do nothing else but read. Work suffers, food can wait, the Katgirl gets a little neglected, even sleep is put off for hours.
It’s almost physically painful to pull myself away from these fleeting obsessions. I can’t imagine how addicts start the road to recovery from more serious substances than books.
Still, the above is the reason that you only get zombie line art on my Deviantart feed over there to the right, and I’m late in putting up the news. For that, I apologize. If it makes you feel any better, I feel terribly guilty and plan on drowning the guilt in a tall glass of cold beer and some tasty chicken casserole tonight… inbetween putting editorial comments on a commissioned short story, painting another speed paint of Myen and the People, and working on 3 comics.
Yes, when I feel guilty, I make good food and work harder.
Remember to vote on buzzComix and Top Web Comics!
See you Friday!

PS! I’m going on vacation from July 26 through August 4th. Don’t worry, there will be regular comic updates (remember, I’m more than a month ahead on strips), but if you’re lucky, I might come back with some REALLY cool stuff. Just don’t count on relevant or regular news updates.

Well, this has been the longest story arc yet! I’m still banging away at doing more comics, with no end in sight. Remember that I’m going to be at Fanime 2008 over the Memorial Day Weekend (23-26) at the San Jose Convention Center! Free Comic to any who attend, and of course, I might be talked into doing sketches!
Oh, and I’ll be giving out a free copy of a special edition comic strip to anyone who comes by.
Cheers!
Aleric
Update @ 12:07pm:
Two quick notes:
1. Apparently, my binary copying skills suck… have you found the typos yet? (Thank you, Webmonkey Ben for pointing them out)
2. Today marks the first day that I actually got intelligent enough to include the website on the image… so a small think, but very important. Question is, did you notice before I pointed it out?

Not much to talk about with this one, other than how I find it fun to work in all kinds of little references to this or that, a punch line here (literally) an object there… you get the picture. Keep an eye out. Most of them have something… some are just more obvious than others.
Been kind of a quiet week around here, the poor Webmonkey Ben has been sick with a horrific evil cold of DOOM. He’ll be better soon, but in the mean time, send him some well-wishing.
On the “Upcoming” front, I’ll be attending my first con (after starting this comic). Fanime 2008 is on Memorial Day Weekend (23-26) at the San Jose Convention Center. I’ll be at the Katgirl Studios table in Artist Alley, handing out a FREE Double-Length COMIC STRIP to anyone who wants one… that said, the free comic I made will become available online… sometime after the con is over. Meaning, of course, that I haven’t scheduled that comic yet… I may just make it available in the Extras section… 
See you Friday!

P.S.: VOTE! Votey vote vote (If you haven’t read the PDQ comic, vote, then read Teh Funni Comik)

Ok, so I know how it seems, but I promise, I don’t -hate- windows machines… they just make really easy targets.
I hope you all enjoyed the special Mum’s day comic. If you didn’t go check it out in the archives. I know at least two people other than me laughed… you might too.
So we’re still floating in the 300’s at the TWC, so Thank you!! I’ve been promoting HHFM to just about everyone I see, but I still want to get more. World domination through quality comics, right? Go tell a friend to read HHFM, then vote for it on TWC… if you do this week, you’ll get an extra special FULL PAGE funny comic. Not exactly HHFM, but very amusing in it’s own right.
Soooo… yeah.
See you Wednesday!

Back to the story arc! Ever notice how retailers seem to try really hard not to let you know about their competitors? It always kind of bothered me, even when working in retail. I’ve always thought that it was better service to get the customer what they want, regardless of where they got it. I mean if it were me, I’d be more willing to go back to the super helpful place first. But I guess I’m just weird.
Two SUPER DUPER important bits of News:
ONE: My buddy Dave Hughes over at Battlebarge posted a filler comic I did for him! Go give Battlebarge a read, It’s great stuff! So great, in fact, that when I get the new Links section up and running, his is gonna be the first one there!
TWO: Remember to come back Sunday for an EXTRA ELITE Special Super Extraordinary Sunday Edition comic! Kind of like a Epic weapon in WoW, only for comics. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s gonna be fantastic.
Really.
Oh and don’t forget to keep voting for HHFM on Top Web Comics! We’re in the mid-to high 200’s at last inspection!! (new incentive Monday!)
