On Hiatus

Sorry to make everyone / anyone concerned; I know there hasn’t been an Oh My Gods! strip in a long time. I wanted to let everyone know what was up, so that they didn’t get too concerned, or worry that I might have died.

I currently am very busy in other ventures (work, education, etc), not to mention the fact that I haven’t felt the divine inspiration to crank out strips.

Hopefully things will change soon. Believe me, it not only stinks that I’m not creating strips, but I hate leaving you guys LOL-less.

I hope you all have a great Solstice!

I find fire salamanders...

I personally find that fire salamanders are far more likely to invade one's belly after ingesting excessive amounts of cajun food, burritos or anything with sausages in it. A cinnamon cookie DOES seem highly illogical...

hehehe... good strip. :)

Just noticed, Happy 2100st strip, Shiv!

Mr. B's picture

read the news post

shivian is taking a break, as he clearly explains in the news post below the last strip. it's not like we haven't had long periods of light or non-existent updates before. if you really want him to come back, post motivating and inspiring things things for him in the Oh My Gods! forums: http://omgs-tng...

I love it

Don't you love watching people discard logic at the first hurdle? =] x

I New I should have never had....

Anyone else notice the Typo? Sorry, I just HAD to point it out. >.>; I mean, it's only logical...and we WERE on the topic of logic here, in a round-about way. n.n

RE: Typos

Typos are a time-honored OMGs tradition! Perfectly logical.

Logic is as logic does

Sometimes logic and reason have to be thrown out of the window in order to find the truth, no matter how illogical or unreasonable, or unbelievable it might be.

Stormius_Folfette's picture

Right...I new I shouldn't have mentioned...

I new I shouldn't have mentioned such a silly thing as typos...lol. But seriously...sometimes logic just gets in the way.

Reality

Wouldn't it be funny if real life was the alternate reality?

silvermoonstar3's picture

I noticed!

Should be "knew" not "new" but it really is normal/traditional in this web comic for them to be around... I've been following from the beginning ^.~

Interesting conclusion.

Not that I've drawn this conclusion. But I do have to admit to my troubles of keeping a logical thought process. I don't know... but I often get the feeling logic hates me.

logically speaking

Logic does not hate you
logic does not love or hate
these emotioins are illogical

Speaking of logic

It's more that Logic and I are in this uniquely twisted relationship. I use my form of it... but to everyone (including my husband) I am very illogical.

Truth of the matter is, I think out of the box... and when logic strives to put me in one - I rebel. So... love or hate. Logic is well... labeled wrong for me

And sadly, I run on emotions a lot (I'm not run by them... but I am rather empathic, it can hinder things)

*Last Time We Mixed Politics with Religion... People Got Burned at the Stake*

SangreReina's picture

hmm...

That sounds like something from the film Equilibrium...If you haven't seen it, it's about the future where people get injections to stop them from feeling emotion...and anyone who is caught not taking their injections is called a "sense-offender", and gets burned alive...De ja vu, anyone? Just kidding, but it's a good film.

Redeyedraven84's picture

logic?

I have always found(and this is just me) that logic depends entirely upon knowledge we already have, so as far as learning and exploring goes logic tends to be more of a hinderence. "needless logic makes the hinges of the closed mind"

fuzzysquirrel's picture

hinges

actually, I make the hinges out of steel (or sometimes copper)and they swing both ways

Oh well, I can't wait for the new on in any case :D

can we have new one for my

can we have new one for my birthday? it's this friday... pretty please? or at least by beltaine?

Ceilidh of One's picture

Please...

Please oh please, it's been over a month. Please update! I just became a fan and I'd hate to see something so wonderful end as soon as I've discovered it!

Everything is natural. Everything has gravity. Everything has ten letters.

Degenerate_Storm's picture

Please

Oh this is nothing. I think Shivian likes to torment us. I think the longest he's gone without updating is at least 2 months, if not more. All the failed updates tend to run together after a while. D:

AHH!!!!!!!!! (now that I've got your attention...)

Verily, but I think he just does it to test our dedication...I think he likes watching us cry and twitch...bloody sadist ;) But seriously...PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, Shivian!!!!!! More comics!!!!

OMGs, I made a fan! Hi, K!

OMGs, I made a fan! Hi, K! Comic's additive fun, isn't it?

But yeah, the one thing wrong with it is Shiv goes on hiatus so often. I'd honestly put up with a non-daily update schedule gladly if it meant definitely getting updates on a regular basis. :\

shivian I'll pay you

I'll pay you $1 000 000 if you'll update daily. Except I don't have the money so it'd end up being an IOU slip but I'd be sure to heart the i.

Today the sun rose, you're welcome.

Stormius_Folfette's picture

Sad....

Logically speaking, if we wait long enough, a comic should appear, after which we may post comments. It is a cycle. Also, I think this is Shivian's way of testing our loyalty and taking a break. On the subject of 'junkies' and 'fixes'....Who here likes candy? >.> <.< >.< >.> <.< Need More OMGs!! Please update, Shivian...I'm running out of distractions!!

On the subject of candy....

imagine if there was OMGs character shaped candies... That just popped into my head right now. Noooooo clue why.

Epic Idea

I wonder what Fundie tastes like? Although he's probably more worried about Stand and Vera wondering the same thing, hehehe

Ooh, also, what if when you bit into them they were filled with jam or something so it looked like they were bleading? And the wierd runic guys (I forgot their names, sorry) could have black blood, and Candy could have pink blood, and the Pope could have blue blood, cause hes practically nobility...well, not the real pope, the new one's a homophobic, racist prick (sorry if that language is inappropriate, I wont blame you if you take this off the site, Shiv).I miss John Paul - he was such a nice guy that even I liked him.

I bet he's laughing at all of us. >.< Ok. I'M laughing at all of us. I'm still twitching, though.

At this rate....

...I hope to have new OMG's by my birthday...in November!

Stormius_Folfette's picture

*Shudders*

November!!? My Gawd, it's only May!!!!! We'll all be hopelessy downcast by then if no comic comes!! I hope we have one by my Birthday, in September...if only because that is sooner. Blessed Be.

patience....

Believe me I have been suffering the twitches along with you guys, but unfortunately it may be perhaps that he is working a lot.... *sigh* Shivan if I win Powerball I would soooo be willing to help ya out so you could do the comic full time ^.^, but alas I am merely a broke college student and can only cross my fingers, toes, eyes, and limbs in wishing one will come soon :)

crossed eyes...

Crossed eyes will only give you a headache...my guts seem tied in knots at times, as I wait somewhat anxiously. I wish I could help Shivian out with his comic too...but all great artists prefer working alone, normally. I don't want to interfere with thought processes either. Then again, patience is a virtue, thank you for reminding me.

Finally!

i finally read every strip!

Whats with the math questions?

merry_gypsy's picture

Now that you've read them all...

You get to join the twitching masses breathlessly awaiting new comics (which hopefully will come soon; all this breathlessness is turning me purple)

YAY!

Seri's picture

Hmm

Hmm...

I hope Shivian is alright. And everything else with him.

You know writing comics, drawing, coloring and all that, it takes up a lot of time. So, real life probably popped up and got his brains for the while. They comic'll continue after that.

Still, to not hear for so long, I hope nothing is wrong.

Why are all the Beautiful ones Homicidal Maniacs?

I would rather be reading a Sherrilyn Kenyon novel

RAAGH!!

Two months exactly today, and still no comic!

Been a while...

I haven't taken a look here since last year. Caught up and anxiously awaiting for the next set of comics to start coming in again.

Stormius_Folfette's picture

*Coughing*

Ahh, smoke in the wind! Geeze, I sure hope Shivian is alright. Not like we haven't been made to wait before, but if I knew Shivian personally, I'd be pretty worried right about now. We all know there are some dangerous arts and beings out there...scary. I think I'll just wait now...it's all smoke in the wind anyways.

Deepest apologies for the vacation

Welcome back everyone! I see many faces I remember and tons more new to me! Welcome back veterans and glad to have you newbies!

My deepest apologies for the strip’s long vacation. To not get into much detail, thankfully my feet are back underneath me again and I’m hopefully in a place where I can create the strip on a regular basis again. Currently there is a (huge) void in the strip (from August 4th to November 3rd) – I will try to refill this with content, but I do not want to promise what I am unsure I can deliver. If I do, you’ll be the first to know!
