What Happened??

[Johnny_C]

What happened here?? The comic has stopped, the forum is deserted, its rather creepy...

[pitchblak]

We may never know where Joel is going to sleep. Ever.

[Sairbie]

I just started reading the comic, and it's over. That's happened to me with a few comics... Only with those comics the end seemd more intentional.

[scrubbo]

I know. Stupid damn comics. How I hate them!

[spork-faerie]

BUT THERE IS MORE

we are victorious.

or scrubbo was.

we didn't really do much, just bitched some.

Perhaps we should do the comic for a while? Then we'd be victorious too! Victorousity for everyone!

[spork-faerie]

ha!

ok, does anyone have any sort of comic talent?

i only ask because i don't!!

[scrubbo]

I certainly don't.

[spork-faerie]

then all is right in the world.

or soemthing...

[mephistopheles]

curse you scrubbo, you horrendous tease.

[Halgarr]

"...all right. Anal..." is a lousy line to end the last strip with.

[pitchblak]

What we need is a space-station to crash on their current location.

I am so sad

[d_byrnes]

I keep hoping it's just another case of writers block!

[Zenrage]

I thought it was perhaps since the readership drive didn't turn out the way Scrubbo had expected added with the recent tragedies (including Anna Nicole's, I guess), that it meant there was no real point to continuing.

The same thing happened to Pet Professional when they went to their first convention and no one knew who they were. So the artist bailed and the writer was left with a lot of hacks and some really dumb dolphin plots.

You gotta merchandise, Scrubster. Pick a brand icon and sell it. Make t-shirts. Offer bribes. Sell at conventions without having a booth.

Speaking of Anna Nicole, Scrubbo, were you ever in line to be the father of her baby?

[pitchblak]

I was reading the Queen of Wands archive. Found a couple of guest strips by Scrubbo in there. It made me smile.

Where are you man?

[boiledelephant]

Hello?

*listens to echo*

Hm, I guess nobody gives a shit about Filthy Lies anymore. Well, scrubbo, they've all gone, the drama is over - you can start drawing again now! Please I really liked this comic. My life doesn't revolve around webcomics, but all the same, it brightened my day...
Also, I confess to being slightly concerned for your wellbeing; you haven't fallen down a manhole or something, have you?

[d_byrnes]

Jeez. Nothing for like 2 yeares now. And Keenspot has it listed as sporadic / on hiatis. I'd say it's dead. And that's a shame, cause this was the funniest web comic I ever saw.

[Mari X]

I'd like to add my voice to this. It was a good comic, and I miss it.

[Scythemantis]

I knew a lot of people who loved Filthy Lies, it's really saddening to see it sit there with a tragic blog post for, what, two years almost? :/

[Zeke]

I can't even see the site anymore -- I'm getting 403 errors. Is this happening for everyone?

[scrubbo]

The url error was because of GoDaddy mailing renewal notices to the wrong location, etc. Hopefully the site will be back soonish so we can all wallow in the archives. I haven't read the comic in over a year myself. I should go back, read it, get inspired, start to draw a new comic, and then realize my new daughter is crying and abandon all hope.

Seriously, though, I still love the comic. Life got in the way. But I'm working on getting the archives back at least.

[Halgarr]

Thanks for telling us. Enjoy life with your daughter.
