Just in time for the busiest webcomic update day of the week (Sunday)! Looks like Milo’s been experimenting (somewhat extensively) with an old friend. (Old-ish. Couple months.) My dear wall-smashing robot, whether employed as a vendor, courier, or intimidator, we will never tire of your primary function: smashing walls.
Next strip is about twice as long as usual, so expect a longer-than-usual delay. In the meantime, why not watch The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut on the YouTube there?
The Thief and the Cobbler is a film renowned for its long and ultimately depressing development history (one that ends with sweeping changes forced upon film’s original cut for the sake of time, money, and marketability—hence the need for a fan’s re-cut), and for its wonderful animation. Just watch Zigzag the Grand Vizier make his entrance. Look at that strut. I am hard-pressed to recall the last time I was so entranced by someone walking. Also, who voices Zigzag? Oh that’s right: Vincent Dang Price. I think you are ready to agree that Zigzag is the best character.
Actually, Monday is the busiest webcomic update day of the week. Sunday is the least busy day. I even have a nice graph to support this: http://piperka.net/images/weekly_updates.png
Love that third panel and the strip of light that highlights Milo’s eyes! And I like my cheesecake topped with strawberries and whipped cream.
Milo’s invented a hand held time machine? probably not, but it would be cool. Either that or a portal gun.
Hey, the gun resembles a hand-held version of Milo’s ray gun from the Thanksgiving Special a while back. Forshadowing?
With as long as this plot’s been thickenning, I think it’s congealed.
Touché, my friend. Touché.
The next strip is still being drawn. We’ll post a status update before the holidays roll around.
No you won’t.

My God! It really IS a song! And Louis Armstrong’s version was better than the Muppets!
I fear Chronillogical updates have been suspended indefinitely…

Do you think they’re frozen in time?? 😉

You can probably ease up on your fearing, a little! We at Chronillogical have been experiencing what we like to call a “temporary content stoppage.” And by “we,” I mean “me,” John, because Greg would likely refer to it less euphemistically as “John is not working on the comic as hard as he should be.” The next strip will be done—not sure when! But it’s coming along.
And if that isn’t a satisfying answer, then … macsnafu is right! We are trapped!! In time!!! (Despite being able to reply to this message? They are complicated, these circumstances under which we are trapped!)
