I put the banner up when we moved into this house.
You NEVER look up. It is a problem. We need to talk.
P.S. Yuki appeared in a small series of strips, starting here - clicky clicky
UPDATE: Antics will resume updating on the 3rd of December! While you’re waiting, why not check out the first ten strips of Uptown Ghost, my NEW COMIC over at uptownghost.com? You can take a look at my latest blog post for a few more details!
He’s SUPER gay?
More like ULTRA GAY
…not that there’s anything bad with that
just putting it out there
p.s. The ceiling is up, too. How come Copernicus never noticed that being there, huh!? Hmmmmmmm….
That twist, I don’t know what to think anymore.
This changes everything… About the time they kept warm in the blizzard and the seal caught them.
I’ve been following this web comic thing since August 1986 and I did not see that happening
Muahahahaha my secret plans worked! Now to get the seal involved aaaand……oh hi officer.
You just pulled a J.K Rowling. Copernicus is your gay Dumbledore.
*smiles*
TIME TO DRAW SHIPPING FAN ART!!!
So the seal was right all along?
Gaaaaaay!
A NEW type of super-hero!
That twist was……*sigh*
Lets just say M. Night Shamlanamlananam would be proud.
I can’t tell if he’s lying or telling the truth.
That banner has been there since the summer of 1612, when Fletcher placed it there after time travelling back shortly after this moment. There’s nothing like a 400 year old burn. NOTHING.
Guys, I’m 100% this is just another way of him hiding Yuki -_-
Well, that was a twist no one saw coming. Or cared to see coming. Or wanted to happen. Ever.
Did Copernicus just become a Twofer? http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TwoferTokenMinority
This isn’t just another way to throw Fletcher off the scent. Copernicus really did just realize that he likes dudes!
It isn’t going to have any other effect on the comic in general.
Copernicus is still the same boring (but insane) person, but baby he was born this way.
wait, what? this news, it’s so sudden. for reals?
If Fletcher knows everything about Copernicus, then why did he ask? Wait, nevermind. He already knew, and put up the banner. He knew Copernicus wouldn’t look up until then, and asked about Yuki just to lead up to that moment.
T’S TUESDAY AND NO NEW COMIC/REASSURING POST ABOUT THE COMIC BEING TOMORROW
MY DAY/LIFE IS RUINED
Noooooooooo wheres my weekly Jeff fix!!! MUST HAVE MOAR JEFF
coppernicus baby i just had a sex change operation n now we can be together!
NOW IT’S WEDNESDAY AN STILL NOTHING WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
WHERE THE HELL IS MY ANTICS.
Im actually kinda worried, he’s never missed a comic without any update at all. GET BACK SOON FLETCHER!
I’m worried too,it’s thursday and still no update.
I come to Antics, but only see tumble weeds…
He posted an update, he’s studying for his masters in comic epicness.
Wait, wait, wait- He didn’t say anything about not having a comic TWO weeks in a row
Somebody call the police
There’s been a murder
WE GROW WEARY OF WAITING
THE TIME IS DRAWING CLOSE
IF HE DOES NOT RETURN
WE SHALL RISE AGAIN
You were in a study cocoon, you said. You’re supposed to be a study butterfly now but that’s not the point, where’s my Antics?!
*ANGRY YELLING NOISES*
WHY ISNT THERE A NEW COMIC?! THERE HASNT BEEN ONE FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS!! of course im going oveboard a little BUT THERE HASNT BEEN A NEW COMIC IN A LONG TIME MY POINT its not like hes busy
well i saw the update and well IM satisfied that nnow i know what happened and why there isnt a comic looks like he is busy lol XD
I don’t know what to expect anymore….. My entire world has just been turned upside down
hey how about… we let the man relax and get his biz done! Settle down, impatient children. Go read Antics from the very beginning again and appreciate its beauty.
he’s busy. exams. be patient. exams are the worst. exams do not last for a single day. 2 weeks is okay. as long as author is okay. or else no comic forever. much sadness at prospect. sadness. be ok
Where have you gone, our funny-picture lord?
R.I.P. Stephen Gillan.
Never got to become a butterfly.
D-:
i have a MIGHTY NEED for moar antics. If I don’t get it….THE THERMONUCLEAR REACTORS IN MY SUB-POWER RESONATOR WILL GO CRITICAL RESULTING IN…..wait for it…here it comes…THE DEATH OF ALL BIOLOGICAL LIFE UPON THIS PLANET. however npt for machines. Or certain species of frog and wombat.
Guys, I hope when I told you there’s been a murder that you all instantly called the police as I did. Because murders are serious. Like when a squirell puts on a bow tie. Yeah, THAT serious. Now I don’t know what kind of homes you all grew up in but where I’m from when something as serious as a murder happens, the police are contacted immediately
Oh wait
I forgot ONE important thing…
I’m going to die if Antics doesn’t come back please help the stupid is already setting in
May I ask who exactly moderates the comments?
is it like the dude’s helper
or himselff
hope the man does good in his exams and stuff though
It’s been to long :(
Sorry if we seem impatient. You can see what a lack of your weekly genius comic can do to people.
Just though you should know, I’m making a Sims 3 house with these two in it. I’m going through the archive to make the house somewhat canon, and I saw the saw green couch by the corner several times, for example. That’s pretty impressive continuity skills!
Antics cappy chappy probably still has exams. Where I live exams go for (Up tae) 3 three weeks. Not sure where Antics cappy chappy lives so it might be different, don’t quote me on this.
Well, the couch is a bit more common I guess? The point still stands, of course! Copernicus’ bed is the same color in different comics too! Obviously a lot more things, but whoa putting an example or two out there helps me appreciate it all more!
Week three, still no sign of fletcher. Worry sets in.
hey…hey guys…has anyone seen jeff?
or his kitchen knives?
You guys… The Antics was INSIDE us, all along!
Oh wait.
I need mah frikkin Antics. Seriously, I’m dying over here.
The world is over and the Jeffs have won.
I’m scared. Oh, I’m so scared.
*moans*
Antics, antics. Remember Gravity Cat, huh?
haha
remember… remember when he bought the burrito?
fart butte
*sobs quietly*
I need antics!
I’m sorry… You’ve been gone so long. I’ve found… I’ve found another, more constantly updating comic. Ronnie filyaw, he’s from whomp. He treats… Treats me special, and never leaves. I think you should find someone else.
UNI EXAMS ARE OVER STEVE
COME ON MAN POST US SOME QUALITY ANTICS
Why hast thou forsaken us?
How long until you become a Study Butterfly?
Also, did they really get a Divorce?
Also, when is Antics returning? (that’s the most important)
The Antics…
You promised me, Stephen…
YOU PROMISED!!!
(This is the part where I turn all Mal from Inception. It’s lucky I’m killing you in your dreams, though, because Ireland and New Zealand are a long ways apart and also if I killed you in real life there would be no Antics and,well, that would only make the problem worse. Also you would probably give me nightmares cause, ya know, I done killed ya stone dead and ugh god, it just would not be good.)
Of course I’m rambling.
Hand over the Antics or dream Stephen dies.
P.S I in no way want this to be construed as an actual death threat; there will be no killing to be done.
P.S Farte Butte
week 4 and no new antics.
the end is nigh
Oh god I hope antics didn’t end.
I don’t know how long I have had this account but apparently my name is Bear or not bear. Having withdrawals, Need another hit of antics.
where have my antics gone? *cries*
We miss your updates ๏̯͡๏
Even if there aren’t any comics for a few more weeks, that’d be okay with me if at least we got an update with what’s happening. I like my Antics. We all like our Antics.
Please don’t be dead, I never got to tell Fletcher I loved him.
AAAANTIIIIICS! AAAAAAANNTTIIIIICCCS!
(This is the part where I turn all Harvey Dent (Racheeeel! Racheeeeeel!) )
hi SUPER gay, i’m dad!
*Cries elf tears because I saw Copernicus’s gay porno*
Famous chef? From chainsawsuit?
33 days cold turkey… I think i’m slowly losing my addiction to Antics… Please come back, I’m fading away!!!
This must be the last comic. Epilouge: Copernicus and Fletcher get engaged and move to paris were they live happily ever after (until Jeff finally finds them)
I hope he’s okay :(
Week 4: No new comic. Our walls are wearing thin as the end approaches…
Wow…it SURE HAS BEEN A WHILE SINCE A NEW COMIC *Elbows* IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A NEW ONE *ELBOWS HARDER* GEE GOLLY GUMDROPS I WONDER WHEN A NEW ONE WILL BE OUT *Punches in gut*
I haven’t lost hope.
I think a group of people need to form a search party, and go on a quest to find Stephen,
What if the antics comics are still being made, but on a super high tech server and out computers are just slow?
Or what if antics was just forgotten- either way BRING ANTICS BACK
Thankfully I happen to exist in the same townspace as Stephen, so I propose that I lead the search party.
There is a supreme lack of new funny here. The delay in new funny has caused me to search out other webcomics and let me tell you… it wasn’t pretty. I must now, in a manner that makes me sound important, personally request that Mr. Gillan return to this comic post-haste.
I miss you.
It’s been 1 month, 7 days, 11 hours, 39 minutes, and 36 seconds. Where are you? It’s been freakin’ 38.4 days!! That’s 923.6 hours!!
Hey folks, I have dropped Stephen a note, hoping that all is well and that new Antics will be coming. Will let you all know if I get an answer back, cheers!
I’ll provide rations.
This will take a while.
I am nowhere near where Stephen lives… so I demand i’m included in the search partay!!!
**does a jig**
Oh god we’re all going INSaNNnNE.
also I worship you feet.
Feeling weak. Need Antics. Someone send help.
Last night, I had a dream. I dreamed about you, Antics.
I dreamed that you had come back. In my dream, it was night, and a shaft of light filtered out of my laptop. It filled the darkness, but dark east could not fill the Antics shaped hole.
Hell, nothing can.
I’ve been coming back here, Antics. Here, the place we met. I think it was Amazing Superpowers introduced us. It was so long ago, I tell you I can hardly remember.
But that’s not the point.
There is a point, though, and the point is this.
I am still coming back. I am still waiting.
But are you? I write you these missals, these long winded, these light hearted comments. The jokes are more to prove to myself than to you that i am ok. That i am coping.
I am not. The sky whales of devotion have been murdered by the airplanes of absence.
Yes, absence has made the heart grow fonder. And, by God, did it hurt.
Do goodbye, Antics, this is goodbye. Because it’s not right that i should torture myself like this. That i should keep coming back when i ccould be moving forward. Going on. And i could. Heavens, i know i could. But, the thing is, i don’t want to go.
And, yes, mantics, Famous Chef, like from chainsawsuit.
Please, please bring this glorious comic back….
Hi, everyone! I’m sorry for being a big jerkbag and not keeping everybody posted about what’s been going on recently.
I’ve put up a blog post that attempts to explain my absence, but I’d also like to apologize to/thank everyone who has been commenting while I’ve been away.
I’ll try to be better at keeping you all in the loop from now on!
P.S. the first ten strips of my new comic, Uptown Ghost, are up over at uptownghost.com (if you need something to tide you over until next week).
Thank heavens! You’re alive!
No more Antics? D:
Can’t wait for MOAR ANTICS
I KNEW IT!
