Hey hey, just posting a little notice here:
Ever since having some health issues in 2024-2025 I've been struggling to create pages at the speed I did prior (also cause I've been a bit more proactive in social activities etc for mental health reasons).
I've noticed for that reason that posting 7-times a week at my current production rate just isn't that viable, as my buffer's been shrinking rather quickly.
For the time being I plan to set the update rate at weekdays & skipping the weekends to make it a bit more managable to keep up speed-wise.
Unrelated, I had a wisdom tooth yanked out 2 days ago and it's very yowchy. :'(























No worries, Neo, take care of yourself!
By the way, this comic is still in my "m-w-f" folder of webcomics to track, the current 7 and soon-to-be 5 updates are still more than generous compared to the "old" schedule!
p.s. It is funny how they are called WISDOM teeth when they can grow the STUPIDEST ways possible, often requiring removal ...
It’s impressive that you’ve kept up with daily pages for so long when it was originally supposed to be an event. Been waiting to see you return to every-other-day pages sooner than later, so it’s good to hear you’re finally giving yourself a break, Neorice
condolences re: wisdom tooth
Long time reader, do what you need to do for you Neo- this comic has had the most consistent upload schedule in the history of webcomics, maybe ever. It's been a treat for years but if it's unsustainable, so be it. Still my favorite webcomic regardless!
@Neorice: while we like your comic, better take your time for yourself and be healty and safe.
Thanks for your efforts !
Back to the current page: Klaassen playing the good cop...
Hell yeah go touch that grass!
Don't worry about slowing down!
Global Order Undercover Police huh...
Totally understandable! I'm glad you are taking care of your mental health.
Tooth or no tooth, that does seem a wise decision.
"& skipping the weekends" - yup, you do that what keeps you healthy (or at least at your current level of health). And when you loose a tooth, you take a break. Just take your time, we can wait and are happy for the content we get (for free) at the rate at which we get it. Thank you for your work and all the best for you! - Unrelated: Where did I see that crab in an aquarium?!
Ah, trying to separate Tobi from any potential allies with interests that do not align completely and entirely with your own side's by framing the paladin order as a threat to her, huh? Wily of you, Klaassen...
I had a wisdom tooth yanked out a few years back. That sucker was causing me so much of a bother, however, that being rid of it felt more-so like a relief than a yowchy... On the down side, the surrounding jaw-bone was so sharp that it literally passively cut up my gums when they started to heal over the hole left by the tooth. Thank god for European healthcare which allowed me to have the sharp edge filed down at no extra expense.
You take care of yourself, Neo.
Neo if you need to switch to weekdays only, once every other day, 3 times a week or whatever because of your health just do it. We're all greedy boys, girls and escaped dimensional horrors but I think we'd all rather you where well and happy vs ill and miserable. So take your time and do what feels best for you, not us.
Also oww not fun hope it didn't impact and crack another tooth :<
CRAB! CRAB! CRAB!
Neorice.
In the general line I say that you should focus on your health because that's the most important thing ( especially nowadays).
And in the specific...
OUCH!! Feel sorry for you. Those wisdom tooth are a bitch to extract (evolution is great my ass, who designed humans with tooth clashing with each other)
I've been thinking that for awhile now Neo. I've always been amazed at how prolific your creation is and wondering how you do it. I think you deserve the days off. No matter what schedule you choose I'll still be here.
On the topic of wisdom teeth, I had all of mine removed many years ago. It was...an experience. So I understand what you're feeling.
You've been giving us a crazy fast update cycle for years now. Take your well-deserved breaks.
I'd rather you work on mental and physical health so you don't overwork yourself and burnout.
Frankly, I've been confused how the once a day schedule was lasting so long. In my experience only the low effort slop lasts on a once a day schedule, and this is clearly high effort and passion.
@Neorice - Health comes first! Yes, even before your awesome comic!
You do what you need to do. We'll be here as always :)
Also, wisdom teeth pulled out is ouchies indeed.
@noname
To be fair, from the looks of it, the paladin order as a whole DOES see Tobi as a threat. Shalhia eventually came to a different conclusion, but she died before she could share her thoughts.
Her transmitter might change the situation, but that depends on who exactly receives the info and how inclined they are to listen to it.
I was honestly wondering how you kept up the 7 days schedule for so long
I'm happy about every page no matter the speed and it seems that's how most people feel
You do what you need, Bud - I'm not going anywhere!
((and take care!!))
While I will miss daily updates, even five times a week is amazing consistency, output, and reliability by webcomic standards, so many thanks for how much you've already given us.
Take care, no sweat about the weekends! Five times a day is a ton of pages even that is amazing.
Best of luck with the wisdom teeth!
What a coincidence, I also had a wisdom tooth pulled out!
No worries about the change in upload schedule! You do what's best for you, I'll always be here!
Eh, you are the author, you do as you please/can. And your readers will always prefer a reduce rate of publishing than a possible undetermined hiatus.
I dearly hope you heal well and take all the time you need to rest up, don't worry about pushing yourself too much.
I wish you a great recovery!
Do what you need to do my man. 5 pages a week is still a crazy rate and far better than most. There's a reason why the most common format for updates amongst "fast updating" webcomics is MWF and why most only update on Saturday/Sunday. Hope your health improves and your mouth feels better!
I'd be just joining the choir here but it is fine.
I, for one, certainly don't miss my wisdom teeth.
Wish the best for you; I'm glad you announced it. Still recall when the schedule was LXV; we know you *love* HoH, everything is fine. ;)
Anyway, health can be a struggle, but you adapt to change, we adapt, that's how it is.
Love
Owchie indeed
