Good morning, hostiles! Still me, in for crotalus_atrox while her computer continues to misbehave. But she should be back by Monday!

I heart If I Ever Leave This World Alive too. It's not just you. If it weren't for the fact that it's 5 am and all sane members of my household are asleep, I would have made loud, high-pitched squee-ing noises on that fact alone.

You know, when the end of the comic was first announced, it seemed so far off. I didn't even worry about it, really. Now it's upon us, and I... I'm not ready. Seriously, I think it's the best all-around comic on the net today, and I've told people as much. (And my standards are high.) Beautiful art, ranging from (at its worst) rough but cute and (at its best) sharp and evocative; brilliantly layered characters; intricately drawn relationships; emotional, dramatic stories that are deep yet never cloying; all without sacrificing a sense of humor that regularly makes me laugh so hard I can't speak. What more could I ask for in a comic?

And I know - I know - that the next comic will be just as good or better. I know this, intellectually. But the part of me that isn't so smart is in panic mode at

That's incredibly sweet of you to say. High praise indeed. I'm so glad you've enjoyed FH, and even if you don't like the next comic as much, I just wanted to thank you for saying such nice things. That's pretty much everything I've hoped I could make FH into. So, thank you.

LOL. I like how smug Collin looks. And I will probably download the playlist.

Still excited for OBP.

Also, I am a fan of the Happy!Shark icon. It makes me happy, too.

You know how sometimes you don't realize how emotionally attached to something you are until something happens and you lose your grip for a minute? Yeah, that's what this post did to me. I've been reading since Boy Meets Boy, and I've become really attached to the comic and the characters. I got a little bit teary when I realized this is the final week of the comic. I'm comforted that Fox and Collin will make appearances in the new comic, but I'll still miss them. And I really really hope Fox and Collin stay together forever, or else I'll cry like a little baby.

Thanks so much; I'm glad my comics have hit such a chord with you. I've gotten very teary as well, if it helps.

I made an LJ account so I can say how sad I am that Friendly Hostility is ending. D: I've only been reading it for a little over two years, but... man it feels weird and depressing that it's over.

I listened to and liked like all those songs. The song for the final day makes me hopeful. <3

AUGH. I will be out of town for the last week of the comic and will have to wait to read it. D: Noooooo.

[crotalus_atrox]

If it makes you feel better, a lot of the cast will be appearing in the new comic, Other People's Business.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the music.

Nah, everything is getting pushed back a week due to computer issues. :(

The last, final week...already? I think I'm going to cry

[crotalus_atrox]

Yeah, what you saw was the comic that will be appearing next Monday. I didn't think it would be fair to have one comic this week and make you wait for the Fox/Collin ones next week. So, all three were bumped back.

Thank you, I'm glad you feel I've written the characters well, and I'm so glad you're enjoying the epilogue as much as I am. :)

Fatima has always been one of my favorite characters. Right from the moment she got stapled to the counter (although for the longest time I thought she was nailed instead of hammered *shrugs
