I am leaving for Dublin today and won’t be back till the 24th. I tried to get an update up this weekend, but I was busy with other things. So here is a pic I drew to keep you amused. Have a good day — The End of Things will return shortly.

Aug 5. 2008
As I write this, there is some manner of tornado occurring where I live. The lightning is constant and the thunder is cracking, with winds as powerful and windy as the loudest politician. Everything should be okay, as I no longer fear death, But I do fear a painful death, so I’m heading towards the basement. I mean, if I died in my sleep, that’d be one thing. I don’t want to get hit by a flying printer or something.

Why must you say such things!!! D:
Don’t die!!!
LIVE, damn you!!! LIVE!!!!
Also, I thought we would see Evan’s sister soon enough…
August 5th, 2008 at 1:53 am
Indeed, had a similar issue in December with a freak hurricane way up here in Washington.
I agree with your statement on death since I have a similar feeling. And yes, it would be pathetic to get killed by a printer. I half assedly dodged a stop sign, which I feel would have been equally as pathetic……..
NOW LIVE DAMN YOU! WE DEMAND IT!

Urgh. Least it’s more serious where you live. Down here they’re freaking out about the Hurrricane, but at the most, we’re just going to get some heavy rain. :/
August 5th, 2008 at 10:35 am
I dunno, even though tornadoes are more powerful, they’re much smaller and don’t last for nearly as long. Hurricane’s are pretty frightening and I’d never want to be in one. I was caught in a nasty tropical storm once when I was in Thailand ages ago.
August 5th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Ya, those were some nasty weather. Though you’re right, they were pretty small. Wow, you were in a tropical storm in Thailand. What happend?
August 6th, 2008 at 2:09 am
At this point I don’t even fear tornadoes anymore. They come too frequently to bring life to a screeching halt every time a watch goes out. I just look to the sky and say “Bring it.”
On the comic. I wonder. If Evan’s sister can feel his bones, his mom probably could too. She probably is worried but didn’t say anything.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:49 am
Feeling your brother’s bones through his shirt and jacket means that he’s REALLY, very seriously underweight.
Maybe Evan should start bodybuilding? Hire a personal trainer/nutrition consultant? I’d like to see Evan with a muscular, buff bod, and a sense of self-worth and fulfillment. That’d sure help with his body image problems. I hope, anyway.

Flying printer death? Hmmm that’s creative indeed! Glad to hear you are ok. You and FB2k should build a shelter stocked with stuff to survive the zombie hordes and natural disasters!!
August 7th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Bah, tornadoes are made for cleaning up zombies. besides, he prolly created zombies >:p
August 7th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Bah, printer schminter, a guy in our area died after breathing in a pencil.
Still have no idea how he mamaged it.
August 7th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Just thought i’d comment again, not done that in a while.
Oh yeah: can anyone identify this quote?
“you think i’ve been sat scratching my balls with my head up my ass?”
“i’d have been impressed if you had been”
you people have until next update (which i’ll probably miss by a fucking week, as per the usual)
August 7th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
last but not least
Evan’s ears are getting bigger…
August 9th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I wonder when Evan’s hair, fur, and teeth are going to start falling out? And when he’ll go blind.
Malnutrition is a terrible thing.
August 10th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Fuck tornado’s.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
@ Vinnie D.
You should move.
August 11th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
If you die, I will bring you back to life so you can keep making these awesome comics forever. So feel free to get hit by flying printers, computers, cows, barns, whatever.
I agree with Lycanthromancer.
August 12th, 2008 at 7:06 am
Heh, sweet.
I will one day move to where it never snows because I hate snow. But there will be some other sort of disaster native to the area I move to no matter where I go, like floods, mudslides and hurricanes or whatever. Here, it’s tornadoes and blizzards.
Heh, malnutrition.
August 12th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Good luck in Dublin; this picture will serve as an invaluable reference for the inevitable Evan x Ryan fan-art.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I’ll be sure to kiss my screen to this picture <3
August 12th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Now now spike, don’t make me file a restraining order on his behalf.
August 12th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
have fun and rock that island!!
August 13th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Hehe Awww Veteran. You know me too well <3
August 14th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Bony Evan is bony.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Aw, man. I live in Dublin (assuming you mean Dublin, Ireland).
Although, since I only read your comic and don’t actually know you, it’d be kinda weird to organise a meeting.
August 15th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Bone-inducing Evan is bony.
August 16th, 2008 at 3:55 am
Ha ha, I do indeed mean Dublin, Ireland. I was actually at The Gaiety the other day and had Dark Whopper. It was a hell of a thing. Burger King tastes exactly the same as it does back home. Except the pop is better since the rest of the world actually uses sugar and not high fructose corn syrup.
I’m actually about to leave Dublin right now and am heading Galway at the moment. Heh, I guess it would be kind of weird meeting up since I’m with my family while I’m here. Though if you saw an Asian guy with an Midwestern American Accent and a blue raincoat, that was me. Though there are actually a lot of Asian people in Dublin so that doesn’t really narrow it down all that much.
I have a good story about this aul wan at The Porterhouse that was talking to me about the Olympics since she assumed I was from Bejing. But that’s a story for another time.
August 16th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Ohh Wow….
We totally got whooped in Ping pong D:
Anyhow :3 I wish to hear that story.
August 18th, 2008 at 11:39 am
“Bone-inducing Evan is bony.”
You know it. We’ve got him gay (great for me!); now we just have to get him *real*. That’s the real feat, right there.
Mr. Nititham, is there anything you can do about that? You ARE his creator, after all.
“I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!”
…Okay, I’ll shut up now.
August 18th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I love you lycanthromancer
August 18th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
hmmm, makes me think of a cross between Mannequin 2, Weird Science, and Cool World. Either incredibly brilliant or the worst 80s movie ever
August 18th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
See what we get up to when we have too much time on our hands?

Here’s a distraction to tide y’all over. It’s hilarious whether you’re a gamer or not.
August 20th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Oh geezz
August 26th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Also, that’s either the largest silverfish I’ve ever seen, or it’s a teeny-tiny fly-swatter. Seriously; that thing’s the size of a softball (biggest one I’ve ever seen is about the size of a dime).
August 26th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Oh yeah, I drew that way too large. Oh well.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Oh yeah, I’m home now. Expect an update next week.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Welcome home!!!! YAY!!!
Oh wait, you must be tired… *whispers* welcome home! yay!
August 26th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
OH GEEZ GIANT SILVERFISH D: He’s gonna live in my sofa and It’ll be grooooosss
Welcome home! :3
August 27th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Evan could be rich if he decided to breed those gigantic mutant silverfish and sell them as pets/bait/prank-fuel.
Rich, I say!
August 31st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
the world’s books would become unbound and the world would be forced to rely on wikipedia for misinformation. He could rule the world! excellent…yes, excellent.
