Okay, so I've been reading LFG a lot lately and last night when I saw a new page, I clicked on it, had a few good laughs and signed off.

Tonight when I got home from work, I wanted to read it again, only the page was different! I'm kinda like, "WTF?!"

I know I'm not imagining this as if you click on the archive for the most recent storyline (Issue 6), you'll see the page that was taken down (the page where Richard does an awesome Gandalf imitation ) and replaced as the most recent one with Richard making the "firewall".

Anyone know why they changed it?

nope..... i hope it comes back....

Ever weird! It's a totally different comic now. And the previous one doesn't even come up in the Archives!

Wha?
But the original was awesome!

I even tried to find it in my temp files. No luck.

The new page looks like it's supposed to be page 175, as it seems to logically follow the page we read last night.

I've been waiting a long time to say this.

EPOCH FAIL

obviously there is a simple explaination - lack of redbull

im sure all will be sorted after one or two cans of the liquid greatness

And damn you for beating me to it.

Interestingly, the thumbnail in the archives is still the old page.

Maybe because the gandalf imitation was a copyright violation of Tolkien's work I guess, so they had to take it down and put up this one.

Or maybe they just hated the other one a lot for some reason.

It happens sometimes. An artist doesn't like how he/she did the previous thing and removes it.

I highly doubt it was a direct violation to the Tolkien things. Yeah, a WARLOCK was saying Gandalf's line, but it's not like it hasn't paradoied other movies before:

"THIS IS SOOBA"= 300
Ghost Richard dancing with Pella and singing= "Ghosts"

Simpler explanation is apparently I fucked something up. Don't know what happened but you're seeing Monday's LFG instead of Thursday's. This does NOT mean you're getting another new new strip for Monday though, but I've contacted our web genius to correct the situation.

ohhh, IC. Now it's back. YAY!

told you - lack of redbull

Now I remember why I am suddenly glad to only read these on Mondays. No spoilers! Whoohoo!!

Like I said, epoch fail. Well, that is if there using linux....you're not using linux are you?

No, an epic fail would be to give away the entire ending. Thus-- making reading any further a complete bore. So, it was just a minor failure. Not epic. Not a total trainwreck.

Not Epic. Epoch. It's a pun.

Epoch? Did I miss an new entry in the urban dictionary? You're gonna have to explain the pun.

An epoch is a period of time. This was a time-period failure.

an epoch is the same as an era, an era lasts roughly about 25K years... I think this was slightly more short-lived than that.

Well, here comes that feeling of being educationally inadequate.

Like I've said muliple times before, I'm a savant that way.

Regardless, the pun was just... lame. And no more frowning about it. We got a sneak-peek and we should be jumping out of our shoes.

Technically an epoch is any time period that has a distinct and unique characteristic. That said the example from xkcd where it originated of a program which crashes on dates before a set date is more appropriate.

Explained to the idiot. Okay, done, over with. Back to people complaining why it wasn't left up to continue to be seen.

Because the extra Pella awesomeness might melt the internet of course.

Because of the same reason people complain if the comic isn on at 10:00 PM the day before it's supposed to be up, they're spoiled.

Too much Pella. Not enough Cale. End of story.

Could be. They put the Cale-heavy strip back for Cale lovers.

We are not 'lovers'... (yet)... we prefer to call ourselves a 'passionate fanbase.' Of course, this borderlines many various personality disorders but... hey... at least we're loyal.

Lack of Redbull=bad things happening at night...



That's ok, its a good comic anyway, I can't wait to see it again ^__^.

well, hey, its back.

im guessing someone actually did mess up and put that last one up too early xD

someone hit the wrong button.

edit: just read Lars post. poor Lar, i wonder what he did...

It happens. Its casual.

It was strange, a friend and I were talking over the phone about the latest comic, quoting it and stuff, but neither of us knew what the other was talking about O.o. So we both went back, reread the comics too each other, and realized they were different. We sent them too each other and then we realized that the one ii was reading was actually the next in the strip.

I can just imagine it too...

I missed out on a sneek preview of the next page?! Shananigans!

Question to The Grag, who takes two minutes to read that? Six year olds?

My friend reads slow, he's a highschool dropout and all.

Be nice. Lest ye incur my girlish behavior again.

I think NONE of us what that to happen Sayuri. xD

Duh. Anyways, I'm glad everything got fixed. However, the preview was... ooh... I swooned.

we need some sort of a swooning smiley.

I agree.

Is close enough.

(Off Topic) Hey Sayuri, how do i get promoted in the army? Is by post count?

Yeah, I saw the comic where Benny talked to Pella about the Great Wall of Legara.

Hey, shush up now!! Most of us didn't read Monday's when it was up for that short period of time, so let's not "let things spiral out of control" and spoil it for everyone else. I enjoy these comics, very much so, and I like them to be suprises, not bits at a time.

So where does that put us who were foolish enough to look at it when it was accidentally put up, huh?

What if some of us who witnessed the Screw-Update like to be surprised when the comic comes out, and no longer have anything to look forward to sunday evening or monday?

What about us?

DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, YOU SELFISH...uhh....WOMBAT?!

You said you liked being surprised.
You were surprised with a new page.
Yet you still bitch.

Picky, picky. Some folks are never happy.

</teasing>

I also like having something to look forward to sunday night. Betting in the Waiting Thread, hitting F5 until the key falls off.

And besides, happiness is for suckas.

This is true.
