Respite

Hey, folks, I’m taking a respite from OAF this month. Three reasons: First, I’ll be adventuring in Iceland the first ten days of August and I don’t have an archive of toons built up to run the site on auto-pilot. Second, I need to take a little time when I get back to upgrade Word Press and make some site improvements to restore my missing navbar and help prevent the meltdown that happened a week ago from happening again. And third, I just need a break! I need to reflect on the toon a bit, figure out where it’s going, and decide what I want to do next. Send me some email if you want to weigh in on this subject. My apologies to those of you who depend on their twice-weekly Odin fix to make it through the week without going ballistic with a battle axe. In the meantime, please check out the archives or hit the random button on the right to find something you might have overlooked. OAF is pushing 300 comics now!

See you in September!

    Have fun dude, I look forward to OAF’s return, Maybe a Freyja story? Maybe work Idun into the strip, I could love chomping on her apples.

    Noooooo! I will miss the comic, and I’m totes jelly that you’re going to Iceland.

    Are you coming back? I’ve been waiting eagerly for September!

    Hope our esteemed chronicler hasn’t gotten embroiled in a blood feud or other unpleasantness. Looking forward to the resumption of the comic.

    I. Live.

    Barely.

    Haha… slowly resurfacing. Apologies for the incredible delay in restarting the comic. I guess September 1 was a little optimistic of me. It’s nice to have a break, but I’m getting hungry for the toon again.

    More info soon!

    :-( I’m jonesin’ in a major way.

    The archives aren’t working for me…is anybody having a problem with none of the comics being visible??

  11. Jeff

    Yep, they’re not working for me, either.

    Hi All,

    Yes, the archives are down. Something bad happened to my Word Press - my categories and tags disappeared! Which means the comics aren’t showing either (I have them all backed up, so don’t worry too much). Apparently this is a Word Press problem others have had too, but I haven’t found a decent solution yet, other than I need to update the software for starters. I hope to have the archive working again soon!

    I’m still figuring out the future of the toon, but I aim to have new material posted in January. After my return from Iceland (awesome place!), I got majorly sidetracked by other projects and OAF got derailed. But I’m glad to hear you all are jonesing for more toons! I’ve got some cool things planned for the future.

    New year… new comic? Maybe? Do we need to invoke Baldur (seems the most likely to give a sympathetic hearing)?

  14. J

    Or an Odinsblot. . . ?

  15. Jeff

    Alright, glad to see the links are working again! We can revisit the archives while we wait for the next cartoon. I’m certainly looking forward to it!

  16. Odinosaur

    Truly a day for celebration! Odin smiles upon us this day.

    New comics are in production!
