Hey, yeah it's been a while. Well The "Out" Crowd is officially on hiatus right now due to my massive amount of projects and reading I have to fill up my time with which, honestly and unfortunately, I have put on higher priorities than T"O"C. It should return sometime (maybe during my senior year or something) with possibly better humor and maybe even a name change. As for The Last Days, I have made a personal vow to put as much effort as possible into finishing this entire series before this summer break ends. I also have a couple little surprises which, hopefully, should take at the most a week each to finish. I've put up my favorite stuff from this year's and last year's art classes I've taken (Drawing and Painting III and II respectively) and jacket sleeve I designed for a really good friend of mine, Sean Wrubel. (Follow that link to his myspace by the way, GREAT acoustic guitar stuff). Later I'll continue updating with individual pieces meant to be put together into a booklet, and within (at the most, I promise) two weeks the first of my surprises will be put up; I'll post a bulletin on Myspace and tell people when it comes. /June 1, 08/

I finally got The Orange Box and finally was able to play the game I've heard about everywhere and seen references of everywhere for the first time: Half-Life 2. Since I know most of you have played it already, I don't need to tell you just how amazing and groundbreaking it is especially for it's time. The Orange Box isn't all about just Half-Life; Portal found it's way up to my favorite games finished along-side Bioshock and Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess. Team Fortress 2 is the most fun I've ever had playing a multilayer shooter, and I hear Episodes 1 & 2 of Half-Life 2 are amazing, I just haven't finished their predecessor yet, haha.

Yeah, updated T"O"C's Saturday comic, unfortunately, though, not only was I only able to upload one new one, I'm canceling Wednesday updates. If I can't make the dead-line during winter break, there's no way I'm making it during school time. So updates will come every Saturday by noon, promise. Thanks for your patience.     -E.A.R.

Apparently when I posted yesterday's comix the site didn't save the changes (probably my fault by closing early or something). Well, they should be up now and I'm sorry for them being an entire day late...

Just finished Saturday's comix, fun... My birthday (yesterday) was awesome from the minute it started to its end, literally. The midnights beginning and ending my 17 birthday found in a theater (maybe even the same one) watching Sweeney Todd. Amazing movie. Watch it. That day I also finally got my Wacom Bamboo Fun (yeah, a day late); today's second T"O"C is a product of checking out some of the cool software and learning the ropes (hence why it's a bit late, been working on it for hours).   -E.A.R.

The "Out" Crowd has officialy become semi-weekly (that is, will be published two times a week) starting today; so check back every Wednesday and Saturday for a new T"O"C update! I'm also going to start posting up news and the likes here on the front page in an effort to become closer to this site and grow a habit of checking/updating it. With my new graphics tablet on its way and winter break comming soon updates will (hopefully) start coming in abundance! -E.A.R.
