Thank you all for waiting so long for this one! :D
Please expect and understand that future scenes will take just as long or even longer to produce and upload. Please follow me on Facebook, Twitter and RSS to stay updated on when I make new posts! :D
Now that I’m fully shifting gears to Green Pixel’s game art, I will be posting updates here about our games’ progress (ie. Dr. Vile and TPD2). I want to get these projects done so you guys can finally play them! :D
Also, for anyone who’s worried about The Pocalypse ending: stop worrying! :D The Pocalypse will not end until the story is over. Yes, updates will be slow but I don’t plan on stopping. On the contrary, I have some pretty ambitious plans for The Pocalypse and I expect to fulfill those plans, even if they take years to do :D As Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.” Great words to work by :D
Enjoy Scene 16 – “Under Attack”!
Again, thank you all so much for sticking by The Pocalypse and I’ll work as hard as I can to make all your waiting worth it :D
Vote to see all the enemies that you’ll be facing in TPD2! Good luck to us humans! :D Please vote for The Pocalypse here everyday! Thank you for voting!

@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.
