Remember when I said this?
“Rest assured that Chronillogical has a future. … The strip has certainly had ample time to die by now, if it were destined to die!” [Source]
I did not know it at the time, but that turned out to be a lie. Oops!
After three years, maybe 150 comics or so, blah blah blah, everyone’s heard this story before. In short, we lost interest, and now we are giving up (perhaps more accurately, we gave up a while ago, and are now owning up to it). We certainly didn’t set out to disappoint anybody, but it’s probably best to stop and move on instead of plodding ahead with something that just doesn’t have the same meaning it used to (for us, anyway). Right? That’s what I tell myself.*
So, as a send-off, let’s remember the good times as I link to some of my favorite comics that we’ve done:
The Most Important Moment in History (1 of 2)
Good Work Indeed
Brown Brown Brown
The Winter strips with Mr. Skeleton are all pretty good: [1] [2] [3]
And finally, Civil Discourse Man
So, to the long-haulers, thank you for reading! To those who just stopped by for a laugh or two, thank you for reading as well. To those who dared to share yet another webcomic with a friend, thank you twice. Thank you all. And be excellent to each other.

* Greg and I have gotten accustomed to this comic-making thing, though, and we are playing around with some new ideas behind the scenes—ideas that are SO FRIGHTENINGLY PRELIMINARY, it would be foolish of us to go around making grand announcements about them right now. If and when they come to fruition, we’ll figure out a way to tell you. Announcements will appear here, I’m sure, and probably on Twitter, and maybe Facebook, and maybe Tumblr too.
Boo! Hiss! Put on the time travelers!
Sorry to see it’s official. I really enjoyed reading Chronillogical and was admittedly holding out hope that you guys would get back to it.
Anyway, thanks for the laughs! I look forward to the next thing that grabs your interest and ends up deposited somewhere on the Internet.
Aw. I think I knew, in my heart of hearts, but I didn’t want it to be true.
Oh man!
When you come up with a new webcomic I want to be the first to know.
Shake-shake-shake-a-fist!
I guess you did what you could – if the flair isn’t there, it just becomes dead. You did what you could, and we couldn’t ask more from you than that. Salutes all round and good luck for your comics in future!
Now’s the time to stabbity-stabbity-stab-stab-stab! Nah, just kidding. Things happen, people have to move on with their lives. Maybe you’ll want to come back to it later, but no promises.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I love this comic. I even shared it with my one friend who’s a physic major. Now we’ll never know where (or more accurately when) Donly sent them.
Thanks for the kind words, folks. We really do appreciate it!
We’ll keep the site up, and who knows, we might return to the strip one of these days. But we figured it was only fair to our readers to be up front about it and not string anyone along with promises we aren’t keeping.
If you keep us on your RSS, we’ll let you know about any new strips or projects John and I are working on.
Damn! i really wanted to know what happened next… actually i loved this comic so much that i read it all in a couple of days, well it has been six months since anyone dropped a commentary so i guess this project is pretty much dead, thanks for all the laughs!!!
Yo, I came from 2013 to say sadly this is no longer existing. Sorry pals. Also, world doesn’t end in 2012.
I’m from 2015. World sucks. Also the world -doesn’t- end in 2012, yes, but they make a movie of it… and yeah. Pfft.
