If etiquette premits me to say so, I'd suggest /r/eyebleach might help.

Sooooo..... I don,t get the update (which appears a year later). Is the comic mostly dead? And why the happy tone?

18 months and still nothing, no progress report? No idea what's going on?

18 months between pages isn't the way to keep reader interest. Yes, we're getting this for free, that's an old argument that loses much of its weight when there's so much time between updates.

The setting is magnificent, no question. But we can't enjoy it with this sort of half-dead state. And I'm saying half because I'm an optimist. :cry:

Outside isn't half-dead, there is still allot of world-building going on in the forums where Arioch is pretty active. Threads like the " Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread " and ones like it help lend some weight to this view. As long as Arioch is active in the forums or world-building in forum-posts or updates Insider then the comic is not dead.

Its a long term project where Arioch has stated multiple times that he's committed to finishing out in some form or another. Long waits between updates are just normal around here.

Just relax, enjoy the forums and Insider updates, or set your RSS feeder to update when a new comic is posted.

Cheers! :D

There was a 21 month gap between pages 50 and 51, yet the comic has more than doubled in length since then. So the comic is far from being dead; gaps have happened before, and they may happen again. If that's unacceptable to you, I understand, but that's the way things are right now. The updates will come when they come. I'm sorry that I can't be any more specific than that.

I'm very excited about the content of the new chapter, and once I get past the roadblock of the set design, I think things will move quickly.

A bit of a spam-like comment, especially as a first post, but I do must say: EXCELLENT! I have been waiting the whole while until an update :D

When if at all is Outsider going to update? Or are you just going to dump the story and call it quits? You can't leave us hanging for two goddamn years. Especially not twice.

World of Warcraft just released a new expansion, Warlords of Draenor. This may or may not be related to any delay in the comic.

Have you ever considered releasing it in a light novel format? Mostly text with occasional illustrated pages.
