Well, that was well worth the wait. And once again, you prove you can do absolutely masterful cliffhangers.

:) excited . :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! NOT MORE WAITING! THIS IS KILLING ME!

HAHA .. waited long too haven’t you zach? :D

made those comments when i havent read the comic yet.
now that i’ve read it .. all i could say was oh my God. pretty much like when i saw Manny Pacquiao fell in his face and just lied there flat. OH MY ..

AAAAAARGH Joe!

man! you can’t keep doing this to us ):

BUT IT IS INDEED A FUCKIN AWESOME SCENE! Keep up the good work man!

You must enjoy torturing us all with suspense, lol. Its killing me, they better meet finally in the next episode… :p

WAAAH DARNIT Y U SO CRUEL AUTHOR JOE!? *will wait patiently for next eppie*

loading…
loading…
System checks : Brain, fully operational.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING MEEEEEEEEEEEEE D:

Same wait or longer?! Jesus Christ. Welp, I guess I will check every month or so then.

Like the Carlsberg ad using footage from “Ice Cold In Alex”: Worth the wait

This…. will go bad.

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SO BADASSS worth the wait

Holy cow! Awesome episode! The real threat wasn’t the mutant, the vampire, or the plant. It was Joe!

It was so long too… thank you Author Joe for rewarding our (admittedly thin) patience with a great scene. Definitely worth the wait.

I liked the human explosion part.

I need to see BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

You are teasing us too much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still good scene love the suspense.

God Dammit Joe, you son of a bitch. You did it again.
Just kidding. Keep up the fantastic work, even if it does take like a month to come out!

Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop,” but didn’t he also maintain a negative view of women in saying that women have no dignity and less human rights than men and are supposed to be at home, fulfilling the stereotypical roles of wife and mother.

wait a moment, until the story ends? you better never end this story, it has so much potential to turn into separatte stories and the story of a whole world!

It’s been sometime since I commented on a scene. All I can say is: WOW! This was a great scene and it was well worth the wait. Now that Victor is out…crap…..of course, now I’m wondering how they’ll stop him. I wonder if the Plants will help.

Okay author Joe we get it you’ve mastered the art of the cliffhanger. Awesome scene truly worth the wait.

I feel bad for the soldiers…

*browtwitch* what is it with you and cliffhangers?! i swear if you let us wait that long AGAIN (or make the next scene entirely about cross+that ship) i´ll find out where you live and….feed you to my plant! *pants* ok, sorry, but i´m getting frustrated here. i tried to distract myself with playing blockhopper, but with my old keyboard with its dragging keys its damn near impossible aka VERY frustrating…oh well, just date up, will ya?

BEAUTIFUL!
We had the Inner Joe:Outer Joe / Victor:Joe dynamic BACKWARDS!
Either the true ‘joe’ is Victor (it was a codename)
-or-
‘Victor’s and ‘Joe’s alignments have been misunderstood and are reverse what the scientists thought
else
Joe has yet another plot twist with the Elders or some such we have yet to connect to this cliffhanger fest
^,_,*

How many stock soldiers are there in this place? It seemed like they had a small town (beginning), then small colony (after vamp/zombie attack that took some soldiers), then merely interchangeable stock soldiers…how many soldiers are left- after this seemingly wipe-out of the last remaining ones?

Please, can you please please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeee update the scene as soon as possible?? :C

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrlgh so… much… frigging… CLIFFHANGEEEEER…

Okay Joe that is not cool! Not author Joe but Victor or whoever he is! That guy has gone nuts! Annhika might be a key to control maybe still he almost harmed a little kid! Thats a new low!

I was missing you’r Cliff hangers autor Joe n.n

PS: If you continue doing The Pocalipse I dont mind waiting at all n.n

Hey AJ(author joe), i think the next Pocalypse game should be a playable version of the story or some part of it. Think about it, playing as Joe, Bernie, Jess, or all of them with different missions and everything!

HOW DO YOU DO THIS? This stuff is incredible. What program are you using besides flash?

…excitement followed by plot followed by drama followed by surprise followed by cliffhanger…

this is worth the wait and possibly the most exemplar scene so far!

FINALYYYYYYYY!

great scene joe, i was just coming up with voices for the charecters and i think it seems awesome if sam has a russian accent.

I think I have dies [pinches arm] owwweee
Nope this is real

Joe… please… just make them meet T_T

PD: love ya

Well, i saw TP again. It was like… 12 hours or 18 hours(in 2 days), don’t know. Now i understand really MORE than before.

Well that was pretty damn good :D

haven’t commented i n a long time.as with previous scene’s, this is really showing joe’s power, easily beating a vampire who took down an elder, all in all this is pretty tense, also this is the first time i really pay attention to the more warped serious soundtrack you have added.

Oh god. I had another idea. Why not a survival pocalypse game? Imagine, you are a survivor in no colony, and the game is all about that, surviving, scavenging, finding a good place to stay, or being a nomad. Like Minecraft or Don’t Starve, but pocalypse monsters!

Joe should just die. He’s not worth it. No matter what happens he’s a douche and will kill everything and anything. From day one i haven’t liked him, and now i completely admit that even meeting his sister is pointless. Please die joe.

Nice episode.

@ Erik that would be pretty neat

Am I the only one that was yelled: “NO MOTHERFUCKER!” at the end? Because these cliffhangers will surely kill me.

@Marduk how could you say that about Joe he is the main character and the funniest on in the web comic and his sister is not pointless she is a member of the colony and will help Joe concentrate his powers

@keiss: In case you haven’t noticed, Joe will KILL THE ENTIRE COLONY. That is, unless they can control him. If they can, great. If they can’t, they should have killed them when they could have because with technology, Sam, plants and greybane they can stay pretty safe.

RRRRRRRRGH! DAMN IT JOE! WHY DO LEAVE US LIKE THIS!? JUST MAKE THEM MEET!!!

Holy frick that was intense! Joe really seemed evil in this one, and it’s not every day I get that feeling from a villain! I especially loved the part where he finished counting down and killed the soldiers, because it was both creative and awesome. Can’t wait for the next one!

I don’t know how many time5 you have heard thi5, but thi5 i5 the be5t thing ever, and I don’t mean thi5 update, I mean the pocalyp5e. Thi5 web comic i5 an amazing piece of work and I hope that the thing5 you do with it will be 5hared with the world and that a5 many people a5 po55ible will ob5erve thi5 unrivaled piece of work. I don’t think that anyone ha5 ever put thi5 much work into a 5ingle web comic(other than Andrew Hu55ie)and hone5tly, you are up there with him. I cannot wait for the next update of thi5 and hope thi5 goe5 on for a long time.

good wi5he5
-technoWeasle

Whats with all the 5′s techno??

@Wayne Mangham

LET ME TELL YOU
ABOUT HOMESTUCK

@technoWeasle
you forgot the double i’s

por que no subes mas capitulos, me estoy muriendo de aburrimiento, sinceramente luca

For those to lazy to translate, luca here said “why not upload more chapters, I’m dying of boredom, honestly luca”

I think sincerely would be a more accurate translation for the end.

tambien seria mas provechoso que tradujeran los capitulos a otros idiomas, sinseramente luca

@JOE when TPD2 is out is it for sale in holland/netherland or anywhere in europe

Luca— “It would also be helpful for the chapters translated into other languages​​, sincerely luca”

@ Luca – Being a bossy person is the same in any language.

Long story short,learn to wait,learn english,brush your teeth. Ty ^_^

@Wayne Mangham- recien estoy en segundo año de ingles

@Luca I’m just in 2nd year english.

I was thinking about translating the comic, but i have to learn swf editing

Luca-> Joe esta teniendo dificultad en dar tiempo a este sitio ahora que tiene un nuevo trabajo. Si bien estamos felices por el, esto resulta en que el tardará mucho más tiempo de lo usual en poner nuevos episodios. Lo mejor que podemos hacer es ser pacientes. Respecto a traducir los episodios a otros idiomas (español), a menos que Joe consiga alguien que traduzca todos los dialogos en todos los episodios y que sepa suficiente del programa que el usa para reemplazar los dialogos, y que sea de confiar, dudo mucho que Joe tenga el tiempo para realizarlo.

@Wayne Mangham Don’t be one of those “Proud to be an American” type of people. English is one of the HARDEST languages known. Don’t think other races are “primitive” or “dumb” Just because they don’t know YOUR language.

ME. ME TRANSLATING THE COMIC. “but i have to learn swf editing” means ME TRANSLATING THE COMIC. I will not try to learn, though. I decided it, i have better things to do with my time.

@JustCallMeBlaze you sir are wrong, English is the complete opposite of hard. Try learning Finnish or Hungarian or Croatian/Serbian. Their grammars are a bitch (pardon my French). The only thing hard about English is proper spelling and that can be learned without too much effort.

Proud to be american,thats insulting on so many levels lol im from the UK and i hate americans,but its funny you say that as they butcher the english language worse than anyone else.

@Wayne Mangham: Keep your opinions to yourself, especially if they insult others. You’re being a real jerk.

language is language
culture is culture

unless you’re accepting and open-minded, shut up

“language is language
culture is culture
unless you’re accepting and open-minded, shut up”
So unless we think like you, shut up. Nice hypocrisy bro.

I agree, you are very close-minded in your open-mindedness.

lol
If you prefer to hear me write for quite some time about how you should show your opinion if it’s equal to all members of a party involved and only if the result is positive, ask. I only wrote that statement to keep these people from going at each other’s throats for a reason as ridiculous as the one they chose. Is it hypocritical to wish for some sort of peace rather than a meaningless debate over “preference” of all things?

@neowarrior no me molesta el idioma, de hecho me ayuda mucho a aprender ingles, pero a veces me canso de no entender muchos terminos que dicen, cinceramente luca.

@luca-> en tal caso es vital preguntar a aquellos que pueden traducir el idioma con mayor facilidad. Aqui hay bastantes listos para ayudarte de ser necesario y aprender idiomas puede resultar entretenido. Personalmente, el español es mi idioma natal, pero el ingles se me da con identica facilidad. Claro esta, a veces desearía que en lugar de inglés hubiese aprendido japonés… (no es un insulto al idioma inglés, sino una observación de que muchas cosas permanecen en Japón y nunca son traducidas a ningún otro idioma).

En resumen: Pregunta y todas tus dudas se aclararan, excepto el significado de la vida que todavía está bajo proceso de decodificación… :P

Wow, what a good way of make some time for Joe…

Lol some time without the comic and every turns into a scientist that knows everything about nothing,Joe needs to make more comics to keep us stupid and sane…

Neo Btw he traductor de google también, sólo que no lo usan para impresionar a las chicas: P

@Joe i think we found out that if we go to long without a comic we speak spanish.YO NO ABLE ESPANIOL!

@ Kingjd – Is that how dora the explorer and diego whats his name was made!?

@Wayne- Don’t give them ideas… The last thing we need is
“Learning Spanish with Joe: Callense estupidos, Edition #1″
0_0

And the month goes by…

reasons why english is hard to learn
-Unusual spelling system -subtle word ordering -word stressing -irregular conjugation of words
-different forms of synonyms

im not saying english is the hardest language, but it is certainly confusing for those that did not grow up learning it
-@Wayne Mangham: i would have to argue that we Americans don’t butcher the english language and what you call that is actually our different dialects due to people from many cultural backgrounds immigrating to America and learning english while keeping some of their old language

I really ought to learn Spanish as it doesn’t seem too hard: I got the gist of NeoWarrior’s posts without knowing a single verb conjugation…

Or maybe I’ll just get on with learning Dutch (for fun). That has its own English-style annoying pronunciation rules.

*sigh* I just can’t wait to see what happens next. HURRY THE HELL UP JOE! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!

Two weeks later…
WHERE THE HELL IS THE COMIC?

I love how most of these comments aren’t about the comic.

Awesome scene Joe!

Excellent chapter, you must love keeping the audience in suspense XD

With Holy Week i hope you have more time for this :D

Family > Work > Comic @ Erik

Yeah, I know, but… damn, i dont have anything to say.

Awesome scene~ (~^^)~

PS: Hi~ I just wanted to say that, even though you tend to go behind schedule, I still love your flash comics, and I’m not mad that you are almost a month behind. (Well, okay, I admit I am a bit impatient right now D-:<)

However, I think you should try to satisfy your audiences, shouldn't you? C:

WHEN THE #$@% IS THE NEXT COMIC GONNA BE HERE! I’M GETTING TIRED OF THIS JOE!
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Put that bloody table back right now!

[Guys... KJ please stop calling unintelligible names, it'll only make Joe not want to post the next scene, ok? Later on, we can all scream at you if such a thing happened, got it?]—> read as a calm, cool voice at all moments

I don’t understand why are so many complaining about the comic being “late”. Everybody knows that he has a new job now, one that requires more time from him than the pocalypse does. And honestly, I think Joe has more important stuff to care about other than you complainers needs. The site is still up, so even though he decided to cancel the comic he would probably leave a note here.

If it was me i would delay the comic by a day every time somebody complained,kids with internet = impatience,been like this ever since the internet became more accessible in the late 90s.

I agree, some people should calm down, get out and get a breath of fresh air before posting. Joe is updating The Pocalypse once a month or every two months, so? If you can be patient you’ll eventually see a new scene, if you can’t then it’s your problem. It’s not like Joe got lazy or ran out of ideas or is trolling everyone on purpose: his life is simply a lot busier than it used to be, and you should be grateful that he’s still willing to slowly work on new scenes on his little spare time. Most comic authors in his situation would have just closed the site and left the story unfinished. And the more people attack him verbally for the lack of updates, the more you’ll just make him wonder why he’s still doing this, considering he earns little by keeping this webcomic on track. I just hope he’ll continue ignoring the stupid comments and remember there are also lots of faithful readers who can wait, no matter how long it takes to see each new scene.

considering most people were used to an update or two a week, i can see how everyone is impatient but you guys just need to wait.

I stopped being impatient, now i just don’t care about it.

Sooo… Anybody wanna play chess?

I’ll always care. This is my favorite webcomic. I don’t know when Joe will update next, but I still plan on being around to see it. I have to agree though, this is a bit too long. It’s already been a month, and Joe normally at least drops by to say hi, we’ve hardly heard anything from him in that time.

To pass the time, I’m kinda thinking about doing an RP. Anyone else interested?

@BloodWolf I mean i don’t care if he uploads or not, but i didn’t stop watching the comic.
And, what is a RP?

@Erik Role Play

@Erik
RolePlay within the forums

maybe, what kind of RP?

as in what would it be about

last I checked, an apocalyptic world where you determine your character and background, as well as possible powers then go on missions

Sorry for not checking in, everyone! :D Yup, I’m still around and I’m still checking the site everyday! Thank you for your continued patience! Unfortunately, I haven’t found time to work on the next scene yet :( And, I agree with RP-ing in the forums! If you guys start a The Pocalypse-related RP, I may get some ideas from it! :D

Joe, we all miss you. But, those of us with regular lives, read, job holders and college students, we know how hectic life can get. Those of us that really want to see the next scene, and lets face it, most people who watch the entire comic want to see how it continues, will wait around. Do what you have to, but please don’t make us wait until June. :)

Hey Joe. Out of curiosity, how far are we in the storyline right now? How many chapters are you planning to include in the remainder of the comic?

Crossover with The Walking Dead!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTh-U3rK91o

DAAAAAAANM!! So Victor got Joe… well the world might end just because of him…

Hey, Author Joe, just curious but couldn’t Victor be beaten if Sam and Rosa attacked with their minds? Also I think Joe might beat Victor if Annika is involved… so the real question (to everyone but the creators…sorry) Is who will have the body? Joe or Victor?

“Crossover with The Walking Dead!!!!!!!!”
No….. Please no….. Ten thousand times I say please no…..

@hiei I think the real question is who is the original bodies owner and if it is joes body how did victor get in and vice versa

Englisch is ja wohl mal total einfach zu erlernen -.-
Mal davon abgesehen steht euch Amis und euch wannabe Spaniern der Rassismus echt net gut zu Gesicht. Ahja kleiner Hinweis an alle Amis: Ihr habt keine Kultur und ihr seid kein Volk, ihr seid ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen von Nachfahren derjenigen die es in ihrem eigenen Land zu nix gebrach ham. Dieser ganze Rassismus und Fantatismus immer… aber wir sind ja die bösen nech? o0 So und das ganze schreibe ich auf deutsch damit der neue Trend des in der eigenen Sprache schreibens hier fortgesetzt werden kann. — Btw: America sucks and this here is another month without an update…

@Jareth:
Cool story bro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1YmS_VDvMY

@Jareth
That was surprisingly readable, considering I only took the first half a latin class.
Sorry that people often fail at connecting with their heritage’s around here. It can be hard if one only has second hand information to get anything beyond the accent right, much less remember important things from neighboring cultures such as Germany.
I couldn’t read enough of the second half to know the answer to your question, sorry that I have yet to learn that much latin…

Yup think its time to delete this site from my favorites.

The comment box opened again :D

Erik- YEAH! Hopefully this is very goodnews!

could you at least make an update that doesnt add a comic?

@Jareth:
You know another German who liked to start fights for no good reason?
HITLER.

Hitler was Austrian, just saying!

@Jareth:

I respect all races, religions, nations and sexes. What I don’t have time for is bigotry.

I hope you continue writing in german as it is refreshing and allows me to brush up on my less used skills but please don’t post things like America sucks. I mean seriously do you know that ALL of America sucks? Have you seen all the states, have you ever been here?

I would love to visit Germany or anywhere else for that matter! Use my skills but alas I’m not rich. :p As for everyone else, lets keep it civil please. This isn’t a forum board for flaming, this is someone’s personal site. Up until now I haven’t read these posts and sadly i’m at a loss as most of the time the comments are quirky and funny. But ‘as usual’ the internet allows us to become flaming jerks, without borders and claiming total anonymity.

@JOE! Looking forward to the update bud, keep up the good work!

I hate to say this Joe, but please, we are all begging you, PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THE POCALYPSE. OR AT LEAST MAKE SOME COMIC STRIP VERSIONS. THOSE CAN’T POSSIBLY TAKE AS LONG AS A FULL ANIMATION. WE WON’T CARE ABOUT COLOR OR DETAILS. I LIKE TO THINK I AM A PRETTY PATIENT GUY, BUT THIS IS STARTING TO IRRITATE ME

@Pseudonym Just stop caring about it. Look, I was impatient, but I had an idea. Check the page once a day, like at night. Check the scene, if no new scene, check the comments. If not, get into 9gag or play a game!

Wow, some of you guys are pretty ungrateful and impatient. Get a grip. Please ignore them Author Joe, there are more important things in life than providing an awesome webcomic for free. Hope you and your family are well.

@Jareth:
Not sure if you’re a troll, but you are embarassing yourself. Du beschwerst dich über Rassismus, lässt dann aber selbst extrem rassistische Kommentare ab. Da dreht sich mir echt der Magen um.

Guys i have a message from author joe about the future of the comic and of his where abouts,please take a minute to watch the video please its very touching.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

@Pauric
Yes, I know, but he also held a German citizenship. Ergo, he is also German.

@Wayne Mangham http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWOwIewXLP0

I wish people would stop posting internet troll videos from five years ago, it makes me sick that this site is being defiles like that.

@Joe I know everyone has been yelling about updates but they do have a point, it has been over a month and now if you look at the update log, you would think it is a last update. we all are hoping you update the comic and are still alive.

also @ the people who don’t read enough homestuck that is MY OWN typing quirk, so no double i’s, or two’s, or word replacement. If you wondering why, I stopped typing with it because it is hard.

@ Erik

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwNpTt8Mjhk&NR=1&feature=fvwp

1) whats latin to do with that? well yeah latin is one of the origins of this language but thats it o0
2) Hitler was from austria.
3) Dont call it Schnitzel
4) Nein ich bin weder ein Troll, noch bin ich rassistisch. Ich habe lediglich die Wahrheit gesagt.
5) Ich finde die Ironie hier herrlich, nicht-deutsche die Deutschen die Nazi-keule um die Ohren hauen und vorher selbst rassistisch wie sonst was sind ^^ herrlich. Jemand Popcorn?

Last time he updated we started rumours about the pocalypse end. Maybe that will work now!

an update with news at least would be nice.

Have any of you realized that Joe could be working on the game we donated money too.so which is more important, something you paid for or something you getting for free.

@Jareth:
Wenn du hier als Nazi beschimpft wurdest hab ich das verpasst, was durchaus sein kann. Dich als Nazi zu beschimpfen nur weil du Deutsch bist wäre natürlich unangebracht. Aber einfach mit eigenen rassistischen Kommentaren zu Kontern bringt wirklich gar nichts außer, dass du dir und Deutschland einen schlechten Ruf einbringst.

“Ich habe lediglich die Wahrheit gesagt”. tut mir Leid aber das ist einfach nur bullshit.

“Hinweis an alle Amis: Ihr habt keine Kultur”. Falsch, Amerika hat eine deutlich ausgeprägte Kultur, ob sie dir nun persönlich gefällt oder nicht.

“und ihr seid kein Volk” klingt etwas seltsam, wie definierst du hier Volk?

“ihr seid ein bunt zusammengewürfelter Haufen von Nachfahren” so ziemlich die einzige Wahrheit in deinen Statement. Heißt aber noch lange nicht, dass sich daraus keine Kultur entwickeln kann.

“derjenigen die es in ihrem eigenen Land zu nix gebrach ham.” Falsch, und hier ist der Rassismus (im Englischen würde ich statt “racism” in diesem fall das Wort “culturism” benutzen, da du dich ja nicht auf eine “Rasse” beziehst sonder auf eine kulturelle Gruppe) am deutlichsten, da du implizierst, dass alle Amerikaner Versager sind. Außerdem ist es einfach nur Respektlos gegenüber den Leuten die aus verschiedenen Gründen (ja unter anderem auch den Nazis) nach Amerika geflüchtet sind. Viele davon hoch intelligent, Wissenschaftler und Künstler etc.

“america sucks”: wenn das keine wertende und verallgemeinernde Aussage ist dann weiß ich auch nicht. Jedenfalls keine fakten!

tl,dr:

Countering racist statements with your own racist or culturist statements helps noone and only makes you look bad.

@ everyone:

Sorry for derailing this comment section. It just bothers me when people engage in racist or culturist discourse. I promise this was my last post on the matter.

@ Everyone

Ever heard the phrase put enough monkeys in a cage with a type writer and they will create shakespeare?

I think it applies here…

Ok, nothing personal Author Joe, but when I start to forget the plot and I had to go back reading every post just to remind this and that, well, that’s the time to quit reading a webcomic. Nice job though… Good luck for the future! Bye!

Joe,
Are you alright? I hope things are going well. This long of an absence tends to make me feel that something really big is happening in your life right now. A fresh perspective can be helpful.

@Mark and all – Thank you for your concern! I feel loved :D I’m just fine, just really, really busy. Busy enough to keep pushing the next scene back and back :( I want to get Green Pixel’s big game projects out of the way (including The Pocalypse Defense 2) so that we can focus on smaller projects and, of course, the webcomic :D With my full-time job taking up my weekdays, I’m sure everyone can understand that these plans will be a slow process. Also, I understand that I will be losing readers as a result. I fully expected that and I understand how you all feel. All I can do is thank the people who are sticking around and supporting The Pocalypse! And, to all the readers who are leaving, I hope I can win you all back one day :D Thanks for checking up on me!

Joe while i understand the frustration of the other readers i also understand how hard this will be for you with the new job. You have done a great job until now, and i for one will not be leaving because of a slow down like this. Good luck to you in your job, and i hope that things settle down for you soon so you can come back to us.

Joe, have you considered getting someone to help you continue doing work on the webcomic? He/she would be responsible for the bulk of the work when you can’t do much, but you would be overseeing and making sure his/her work is consistent with the direction you want to take with The Pocalypse

@Casey Anderson – Thank you very much! I make The Pocalypse for fans like you :D
@Jhfds – Yup, I’ve considered that :D

I really love the Pocalypse, for real. I know that you have a new job and all… But please, as a true fan, make the new scene. This cliffhanger is killing me! :) (English is not my first language, I am sorry if I have any mistakes.)

All i say is: if you don’t stay in the bad times, dont bother to stay in the good times

PS: Glad to hear of you again autor Joe ;=)

Joe, think about my Pocalypse survival game idea! Imagine being a random survivor(customizable!) somewhere in the world. You have to look for a place to live, some food(maybe), and more supplies!

It is very good to hear from you Joe. I feel like I should ask for some reason: How has your baby been doing? I’m guessing this new job is cutting a bit into your family time as well as your comic time…

Just found your comic. Caught up in less than 12 hours…actually yelled profanity, realizing I caught up to a cliffhanger. Now I have no excuse not to do dishes and laundry. Congrats, Sir you have given me a superb story to fall in love with. My hat is off to you.

I check on this website almost everyday to see if you post something new Joe, but if you’re busy, you’re busy. We love you, take care, you and your family. And take it easy ;p

Every time I have the time, I check your site for an update. I really, really love your work. So yeah thank you for your awesome work, so you have my thanks and admiration, well for what its worth. I’ll keep voting as per usual, good luck and have a good day Author Joe! And by the way, don’t let us keep you from your personal life, the story can always continue in due time, not to mention your webcom is free, so I don’t have complaints. Stay safe and good luck!

Joe,

Do whatever you have to. This comic is one of those brilliant ones that will always have a core base, because it is just that awesome. Same with a number of other comics I read. I have also discovered that the best comics I have ever read, sometimes require ridiculously long hiatuses at times. Life is a pain that way. Homestuck, for its flash animations; Bazzelwaki, for all of its brilliant art and the troubled Ben Prager. Hell, even my own artist friend who is incredibly brilliant. As long as you make something worth making, don’t worry about how long it may take. Good art is worth it.

Still waiting and voting :)

good work Joe…

Really enjoy the comic! I’ve been slowly reading it for over a year now. I understand how much a full-time job can put a damper on your life. Can’t wait to see the next episode :)

1 month 18 days since the last scene. I’m getting impatient but i understand that i have to wait and there is no way i’m going to stop reading this comic but please author Joe if you have time, make just a word update and let us know us whats going on with the new game and your new job.

At least make a post about the game progress, post pictures of the game, etc… most of us understand your situation, but you should communicate with us more often.

maybe just a news update weekly or bi-weekly if you dont have a comic made?

Open the comic. dont end it, let the background music play. play songs by Player. pretty good hahaha XD

Hey Joe, you can sell TP soundtrack for the funding of The Pocalypse Defense!

I’m happy to hear that Joe. I’ll keep looking everyday.

Joe, if I recall, there was someone who made a Pocalypse guest comic in the same style as you. You could see if he/she/it would be willing to make a few episodes while you are busy.

There’s a typo in this comic. Near the beginning Bernie says, “T-trust me Joe. I only want the best for you. I want your reunion with Annika to be bring you some peace and clarity.” Shouldn’t be a ‘be’ there in that last sentence. :P

I think Pseudonym is onto something. It’s not a bad idea, and it would keep the less patient among us coming back. I’ll be sticking around regardless, as I’ve always liked your work.

Even tho the wait for the next comic is annoying ill always come back daily and check if its up. U need to make comics, a game, work and raise your kid and be a good husband. dude you get max points from me.

The following of this comic is so loyal and supportive… And anxious! Can’t wait for the next scene!

why do I get a morbid feeling that Joe might be dead

Pass it over to someone else man – one update every 2 months is shit.

Friendly tip to fans here: ignore the trolls. Wayne Mangham just kind of shut up after getting ignored

=)Joe u have my full suport man =) i been checking evryday for the next update and i tottaly undestand why is delay =) so take ur time and do it when u can man =) plus i cant wait to play the game =)

@Thisisnotananymous – i never shut up dude,and us trolls have to find something to do while passing the time,i for one am a patient one and love seeing all the rage from kiddies who want things now now now now or else they tell mummy!

@ Wayne Mangham – that and trolls will never truely be ignored.

@Bruce Knode *Cue eerie music*

Exactly,you chop a trolls arm off it simply grows back,according to fantasy anyways…

@Wayne No, that was Piccolo

@Erik, No trolls do that to

I sent him a tweet and he is alive lol

http://www.wowwiki.com/Troll

actually trolls Erik

@Oh, you were meaning THOSE trolls. Sorry, i dont play wow.

i miss the comic :(

my hope is drying out guys :(

@Erik Actually “these trolls” are present everywhere. LoTR, a lot of MMOs, and others.

Wow, 2 months and nothing?

I think 2 months is too long. (but I’ve waited longer)

I cant wait to figure out that Annika isnt Joe’s sister

@Nathan Sorry, i’m more kinda like a FPS kid. And LoTR it’s on my list of movies that someday i have to see

When will the next comic be ready Joe?

About every week to two weeks I come to check the comments. Because you guys are HiLAR!!!ouS! I’ve waited longer for my fave show on TV to come back, and I think I can wait on this too.

Joe, I am not trying to make this sound mean at all, but, you have been making us wait for the next episode of the Pococlypse for way to long. Take a break from the game for a day and make an episode please

GARRRRHHHH JOE! Y U NO HAVE NEXT SCENE YET?! I can wait, but I might just implode. Do you want that, Joe?

@Joe, sometimes I wish I could crawl inside your mind and live there. Is it just me?

@Joe, this is cruel… you stopped at one of the moments with the most suspense then make us wait for at least 2 months? Just make an episode to stop the suspense about what is happening because it has been a very long time since the last episode. Maybe you could finish one by tomorrow?

@Niko, Good luck whith that

i guess is time to call it, real life again has claimed the life of a popular webcomic

This is redonkulous.

Wow I dunno it’s been 2 months and no word of anything? I think this is the end :[
Hopefully no one gets pissed about the game he was suppose to be making since he was funded for it and tries sueing or anything >> I mean… he did get ALOT of money out of it.

joe, you need to come back. everything is falling to anarchy!! you used to police the comments soo well in the past. sigh…. also i’m itching for the next scene. it’ll be a huge dissapointment if the story ends here…. or gets rushed to an end. DON’T DO THIS TO US!!!!!

PLEASE MAKE A NEW ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Joe You know how to get people in their toes right? xD
Now, dont wanna be a burden, so i’ll just say that people are losing faith here,
some are scared the comic just stops and all that, so…..you know, it wouldn’t be a
bad idea if you just posted a comment or something right? ;=)

yay! 2 month anniversary without update! (:

Wow…. I have been a reader from the beginning, but with this wait it makes me think that the comic is over…. Maybe have someone else take over so we can actually have a flowing comic?

Don’t give up and call the Eternal Dragon!

Still around and still reading comments/e-mails/tweets/posts (yes, there are a lot of them!) :D Just to maybe squirt a little splash of water onto the fire, the next scene is still planned and, @Zerphoon, TPD2 is still in production – we didn’t reach our funding goal but we did indeed get a lot of support from fans :D The Pocalypse is not over and I don’t plan on ending it anytime soon (otherwise, I would’ve stopped paying for the hosting of this site 2 months ago) :D Please keep posting, commenting, and e-mailing though! You all remind me everyday that people still want this story to go on!

Well, real life sometimes wins. SOMETIMES. Give us some hope, Joe.

=( =’(

Of course we do Joe! As for me, a comic on hiatus is always better than a comic that will be left unfinished. And even rushing up for a short low-quality scene just to make the impatient ones happy isn’t good – I’d rather wait two months more if that means keep the excellent quality standards The Pocalypse got up to this scene.

@Joe, You know how you have said that future episodes will take longer? Well are they still going to take longer to make even after the Pocalypse TD2 has been made and everything?

@Joe, also could you tell us like what day The pocalypse 2 will be out at most by?

Good to hear that you are still there Joe

Good to hear things are well Joe. Hopefully I can have a proper sit-down with Squizzel so you don’t have to leave these guys hanging.

k, that hopes should last for quite some time n.n
Good to hear you still with us Joe! and I’l have in mind that little piece of logic xD

Well, hope everything goes well, we’ll be waiting ;=)

Weird….there’s allways at least 1 coment in this place a day, oh well xD

@Haydn Shaw – That would be AWESOME :D
Thank you again for the support and patience, everyone! :D (I’d say this post has the record for most comments haha)

It’s been over two months now….. It really pains me to wait this long in anticipation of this. I for one cannot wait for the next episode, but currently I am incredibly dissapointed in how little feedback we have gotten from you personally.

Less of the blonde jokes, Niko. You know they can’t keep up, especially as they’re busy staring at a carton of orange juice because it says “concentrate” on it…

Tuesday

Q.Why did God give women legs?

The brunette says I will have a boy because he was on top.
The blonde bursts into tears and the other 2 girls ask whats wrong.
The blonde says I’m having puppies!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Except that they’re not
They’re fucking violet

There was an explosion at the cheese factory – debrie was everywhere

Well according to Ryan Sohmer, Joe doesn’t deserve credit now because he hasn’t updated: http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080509/
Luckily for us, he is an asshole and we generally don’t care about his opinion on others and his sh*tty comic. :D

Anyway, I hope a new update comes soon, even if it’s just an entry.

As for the joke:
- What is the favourite sport of fruits?
- Squash
(I know it’s bad)

Otter, For your information Ryan made that in 2008 and not once does it mention Joe so don’t get mad at him.

Tuesdasy
Jutin Beiber(He is such a joke)

@Niko Well obviously :) It’s just a notorious comic on the web, that shows how much of a jerk he is.

three things.
1) Pocalypse up till this brake never miss a update.
2) Ryan Sohmer is or runs a comic studio, with over 3 comic he dose and a list of comic that work with him, rights books, and is making a cartoon about Least I could do.
3) this little brake is small compared to some web comic http://dresdencodak.com/ has taken a year off, and dont get me start on http://megatokyo.com/.

@Pseudonym_ I do believe you meant Justin*.
Lets see… Joke…joke…
Wednesday
Two blondes were driving down the road.
The blonde driving looks at her friend in the passenger seat and asks her to see if her blinker is working. So the blonde looks out the window and says, ”Yes. No. Yes. No.”

Haha :D Who needs scenes when we’ve got jokes? ;D Thanks for keeping the site interesting in the meantime, everyone!

Not to detract from your post Chris but updates have been missed/late before. (With late being more common) But yeah, in this last chapter it wasn’t really a problem until now.

Also, keeping in theme with a joke a day.
Why did the Orange stop rolling down the hill?
Because he ran out of juice.
I’m not really proud of that one.

A: He drank his coffee before it was cool

@Not going to say Bitch please, Hipsters don’t drink coffee, they take pictures of it.

Friday

A You picked up a stimpack.

Saturday
Q: What’s the difference between a bitch and a whore?
A: A whore sleeps with everybody at the party, and a bitch sleeps with everybody at the party except you.

It’s all well and good not updating the comic because you’re busy, but your lack of communication on here to let us know what is going on is shameful. It would take 30 seconds to keep us up-to-date with how shit is going.
