Hellbound: Chicken Soup for the Soulless

October 19, 2007

WHAT I'VE BEEN THE HELL UP TO: Hey look I'm not dead. But I've decided that I'm going to end the comic with one final mega multi-page update that will border on infinite canvas stuff.

I've been working on it steadily in my free time which isn't as abundant as I'd like really. Sorry to those who have been cutting themselves waiting for an update, but I hope the last update will rap everything up nicely and we can all move on with our lives.

So when will this final update be? When it's ready. Does that mean it's going to turn into Duke Nukem Forever? Maybe, but hey it's just a stupid webcomic.

----------------------------------------------------------

The final chapter in the Hellbound saga begins today! Questions, comments? Call 1800-Forum

Guest comic will be up until the comic is done. OKAY!? I have to give a big shout out to Fernando Doglio for sending me this. Thanks man!

----------------------------------------------------------- Not much to say except that Francois Guint-Riel has bestowed upon me a very detailed drawing of Mel and Kyota. Thanks alot Francois!

-----------------------------------------------------------

AWESOME GUEST COMIC ALERT!!!!!!
I have to thank Revarian of Pulled Punches again. Thanka muchly!

NOTICE: I'm going to start updating on Fridays now, it just works a little better with my life. Hope that's okay with everyone.

HELLBOUND IN SLOVENIAN!!!

Everybody click that link, then join the forums there. Don't speak Slovenian? I don't care just do it.

Having Hellbound in different languages is just so weird and cool...

So go check it out already!

-----------------------------------------------------------

In awesome news, Chris Paluszek of CARORTHADE fame felt compelled to give Mel a little cameo recently. I fully support this and feel that every comic would benifit from Mel's inclusion. Penny Arcade? Just so you know I always invisioned Mel's favorite game being Viva Pinata. Just a heads up.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sigh... is it just me or is my computer becoming a running theme in these posts...

Yet another update from the college computer lab...only this time I don't have a comic to upload. Why? Well, the computer is not only malfunctioning, it's completely FUBAR. I can't even turn the damn thing on let alone upload comics. In fact, I think it may have eaten all my files entirely. If that's the case then I wouldn't expect to see any printed comic compilations in the future...all my high res comic files would have pffft...

If I can sort this all out expect a comic either later today or on Friday, but if I can't....

Well let's just hope I can, because financially, getting a new computer is not an option...

Money doesn't buy happiness, but poverty is a bitch.

-----------------------------------------------------------

D'oh! Seems while I was away I missed this FAN-FREAKING awesome guest stuffs. First one from the extremely well endowed Bryan Climer of Pulled Punches

And the second one from the equally well endowed Tiffani "Razzek" Byers of Ye Gods!

And while I was away these people entertained you. CLICK ON THEIR COMIC'S LINKS RIGHT THIS VERY INSTANT!

Monday: Lady Attercop of Strange Fiction brings us something disturbing...
Wednesday: Kary Ferricks who runs a DA gallery brings us something friggin wrong...
Friday: Matt Buchwald of Fodi brings us something classy.

We also had fanart from:

Juan C Spearman (The Big Mansini )Here's the smexy folks!(NSFW)

Some sweetly cute fanart from Danny
Some dynamic posing fanart from Alex
Some powerful looking fanart from Rudi Gunther who has a webcomic, Deathworld
Some pencilly panel action by Travis

--------------------------------------------------------------

You see that? That, my friend, is awesome incarnate. Look at 'er go. Whee! Go here to check out more animated goodness.

Till' next week.

****January 11 2007****
First up is fellow webcomicist, fellow "Eric" and fellow "ault", Eric Theriault. He's a much better webcomicing Eric 'ault than I could ever be. Need proof? Check out Veena, Mr. Theriault's webcomic. After that check out this:

I got that for directing people to his site. So everyone go check out his comic NOW, so I get more stuff.

Secondly is a two for the price of one gift art from the very best drawing club I've ever had the pleasure of giving my personal celebrity endorsement towards. Yes, I grant the full extent of my amazing star power to the endevor of Tristan Parks, who started the Drawing Club at his school, in which produced these:

I can honestly say that Mel has never been cuter. Frankly it's a little disturbing, but then again that's Mel all over, so two thumbs up! This is also another instance of fan art making Guy look like a bad ass. I don't know why Guy get's so much love in fan art, I forsee probing, scientific studies to figure out why this is.

And just because I'm too lazy to update the fanart section right now, here's the continutation of Andy's fanart being up as well:

from Pinch of the Glass' Andy. Thanks man!

I know I said we'd return this week. Sadly time has proven me a lying jerk.

Hellbound is now officially on hiatus while I try and get my act together. I'm sure people who like the comic must be pretty bummed but, I'm not one of those people so I don't know.

Hey all I can say is sorry guys, go read Thinkin' Lincoln instead. It's better and just as free. Win win.

First off a bit of a correction, I forgot to give proper credit for those two peices of fan art from Tristan's drawing club . I am taking this time to mention they were in fact done by Taylor and Brittany. No last names, like Cher.

Sorry for the delay, my computer crapped out, once again...

Yeah I know, that excuse is getting old...but thems the breaks. I had to completely scan/colour and upload the comic from the computer lab...

This is the reason today's comic is late and sucks.

I was half an hour from abandoning Hellbound completely. Don't ask me why I choose not to.

Anyway go read it and leave me alone you punk kids.

Well, I must say I'm fairly pleased with how this week turned out.

Not because the comic is especially good, because it sucks as much as ever, and it's certainly not because classes are any less...schooly...because I still want to impale myself on a protractor. No, it's because this week I got two, TWO, sweet, chocolatey, hot, melty injectections of pure fan art goodness. Injected right into my bloodstream.

Okay guys,

I had hoped to get the comic in on time, but I had to go over to the grandparents for the whole Christmas thing, then the OTHER set of grandparents, then some assored aunts and...well the crux of the matter is that Hellbound is on holiday vacation this week. I suggest you all do the same. Go party hard on New Years, eat drink and be merry.

Next week will be a double dose of Hellbound that should be epic. Being the first part I wanted to get done for this week, and the one that was to be done for next week anyway, it is sure to satiate all.

Or not, whatever.

What are you still here for? Go spend time with your loved ones! Well seeing as you read web-comics, more likely loved ONE. Okay, let's all be honest here, go spend time with the stuffed anime character doll of your choice.

Holy Cow! I almost forgot:

This kickass fanart I got from Pinch of the Glass' Andy. Thanks man!

Finals are over and I'm happy to say this is the last Hellbound that will be hurting for lack of time. Look forward to not-rushed, actually funny comics soon.

First off I'd like to thank everyone who emailed me to tell me not to pay attention to the hate mail I recieved. As I no doubt told you in my reply, two weeks ago I had ASKED people to mail in hate mail. I appriciate the sentiment though. It makes me feel all warm and tingly.

You'll also notice that after thirteen weeks I was finally able to put the 100th day guest arts into their proper place. They are now proudly on display in the guest art section. People, make sure your art is linked properly and given proper credit.

Also the holiday seasons are upon us and I'm sure Xepher would like some help with Hellbound's hosting costs. And hey, a few bucks for a starving student couldn't hurt either. So if you were wishing you could get a present for your favorite webcomic artist, or just have a stray dollar in your Paypal...tis the season.

I'm this close to putting on a santa suit and ringing a bell over here

Also I'd like to thank all of you who tried to cheer me up by sending hate-mail. Thanks guys, I really do appriciate the sentiment.

Oh! I also forgot to give a huge thanks to Aetre, who sent in a really cool script from which I'll be plucking golden tidbits from for the next while. Read his stuff, t'is good!

College finals, what can I say? I refused to miss another update and I figured this would be better than nothing.

I hate to make excuses but thems the facts. Think of it as a learning experiance. Now you've caught a glimpse at what a half finished Hellbound page looks like. See? It's fun-ducational!

Well, whatever. Feel free to send me hate mail telling me I'm a lazy ass.

While I'm on the subject, do you realize I've never recieved hate mail? I feel so unimportant. My comic has blashpemy, heavy demonic overtones, sexual misconduct and innuendo...How have I not offended anyone yet!?

I feel like the boyscout of webcomics. I think it must have something to do with the fact I don't swear... Ass doesn't count, they say it on TV.

But seriously! Okay it's mission time loyal readers who love me. I want you to seek out the most outrageously religious group or most loud mouthed "mothers against webcomics" deal and submit Hellbound. I don't feel like I've made my mark until some fanatical group has tried to shut me down. It's time Hellbound caused some controversy already...I mean... it's not like I haven't brought it upon myself.
