In the town I live in, there was a Döner Kebab snack bar that sold those things for 1,50€ each. I always wondered what kind of meat they used and why it closed so suddenly... :?

You don't want to know what that meat was.
Fresh rat meat was the best case scenario.

In defense of the tacos they are amazing. And it is all quality ingredients. Their tacos are by far the best I have eaten anywhere other than at home. So if your ever in Claremore, Oklahoma on a Tuesday El Banquet is awesome. I promise you I have not gotten sick yet.

So if we live in the Tulsa area or go Cain's Ballroom a lot, got it. I'll pass then.

Thank you for the update on the home page Arioch. Its October, any chance of a classy cheese cake or pinup? If you have time and opportunity of course :D

Btw, I like Taco Bell (Taco Hell!) for their Nacho Cheeze Steak Gordita's. Totally terrible for my health and gods only know whats in it but damn if it isn't tasty after a long day at the office.

As long as we're off topic, have you guys considered using a proper fan-fiction service for these stories like 'Archive of our Own' or 'Fanfiction.net' ? There are e-reader apps for computers, tablets, and phones and both services have good comments sections, editing tools, metrics tracking etc. I'd really like to read some of the Fanfiction on here but its difficult to-do so on my mobile or tablet. The services are free and easy to setup.

I loathe FF.net with the burning passion of a thousand Wave-Loom Devices set to "Flambe" and aimed at the shell's homeworld. Any website that thinks they have any fucking business disabling common Windows features like left-click highlight or rightclick deserves to get its bollocks kicked right up it's throat.

As for fanfic, when I write these days, I usually do it on Google Docs, but I started writing WtDwJ in the format of forum posts in the hopes of prompting the original author to resume writing it. That did not work, sadly.

Which is named Qkt-Txl, or “Empire”.

Also, not being able to highlight is bullshit

Oh, man! It's too bad you probably don't have a sequence showing each phase relating to each page! :lol:

But is it a beard that even Fireblade could appreciate?

Okay. I joined the forum Specifically so I could make a post on this thread.

Arioch, thanks for the time you put into making this webcomic.

If you've never made a webcomic, then you have no idea what is reasonable/unreasonable for a particular person.

The fact is, unless you know of ALL the demands upon a person, you have no basis for making a judgement about it at all.

I'm happy to check back now and then, and if there's nothing new, well, maybe next time.
Too many of my favorite webcomics have ended because the author tried to keep up with reader demands.
That's FAR worse than just having it update irregularly.

Arioch, you just keep doing what you're doing. I will continue to enjoy every single update you make. Whenever it is.

Well, in my case we don't really have taco's here so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Anyhow, how are you doing, Arioch? Good job with Stars in Shadow, just seen it got a new patch.

Hey Arioch! I know it's not the right topic, but I couldn't find any better :) Greatings from Russia (almost Russia)! I found out about your comic a month or so ago. And well... I was shocked, when I realized that when you posted the first page, I was 3-year-old and we don't even had mobile phones in our country (we still were using pagers), not to mention Internet etc. So that's LITERALLY comic of my life :)
So I asked people to post a link on a Russian site (https://vk.com/rus_bd). That's basically our twitter or facebook. And one man in the comments said that it has a translated version of this on a Russian comic site. And here it is! (http://acomics.ru/~outsider/1)
Just for you to know how popular you are :)

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Is this the thread to give Arioch encouragement? ;)

I've been here since forever (though not as long as Mr Bojangles or Codius, if we're counting...), and while I don't post on the forums at all anymore, I still check Outsider regularly and I will continue to do so. I hope that Stars in Shadow does very well (and from the look of it, I think it shall), and I hope that Outsider continues for a long time to come. Until then, I'll be around to see what happens.

In closing, let the record show that I, also, ate no Tacos on Thursday.
