I understand! Conist isn't a typo, it's a pun!
This whole comic was a con!
We've been had!
Or my second guess is that the comic is now for the extreme vision-impaired, invisible comic strips for the blind. D=

The only thing is able to explain this, is that they all had a terrible car crash.
Which hopefully has not accured.

I had a dream last night. It was a weird dream. In it, reality (machine) came back. The art was similar to the early comics,and I can't remember what the dialogue was, if there even was any dialogue.
Oh, and it was in full color. Like a rainbow vomited onto the background.
Very weird.

You know you miss a comic too much when you start to dream about it.
I was actually hoping they would return after the US elections, but I guess not.
Man, this is worse than Dresden Codak!

Maybe...We are the new comic!
All our comments are just there to entertain our former hosts.
We are but toys tied to the strings of the cruel puppetmasters!
*Puppet dance*

Ah, but every good puppetmaster knows what happens if you leave the puppets alone for too long...
At first, it's subtle. Did you hear a rustling noise? Did that one's eyes always follow you? Has that one always looked so... menacing?
Next thing you know, wham! Your whole family's dead!
Beware the puppets....

Oh.. Unless you mean a normal labyrinth. Then I guess will have to forgo the glitter and Bowie.

There is only one thing left to do, associates... We must download every RM comic and store it in case the dreadful day comes when the subscription for the host site falls through and we're left at 404 screens. If the sun sets, WE WILL KEEP THE FLAME THROUGH THE NIGHT! (No plagiarizing please.)

I've been reading RM since it was SoG, and i do not want to see it fall. Sure, the humor was getting stale there in the end, but there were times before this. The great terrible storyline in 06, and such. VIVA LA REALITY MACHINE

2008-11-18 11:16:47
Overreact much? I've seen loads of webcomics resurrect after a mysterious posting absence. Men in Hats... ok, bad example, uh... Joe and Monkey, no same problem... N4WTB (man I'm striking out here)... Triangle and Robert... Wigu! Wigu did it like 10 times and now its going strong(ish), so y'know, if it's good enough for Jeffrey Rowland. Anyway, keep keeping the faith and RM will return. maybe.
Probably me
2008-11-18 17:03:57
It's not a mysterious posting absence, it's a vacation. It's got a reason. The only thing it doesnt have is a date for when it'll be over.
Probably me

Nikki

It's broken here too. Like a never ending string of some error code on the bottom of the page right?
You know. I was thinking. What if they're trying to like, fake their death to escape us? Cause if they were gonna stop, they would have at least said so. So what if it's all some evil hoax!? *fear*

Oh, and the page is broken for me too. Is there a programmer in the house?

I assume I'm not the first one to notice that not only does the spam disapear and reappear, with the exact same text, the posts also keep reordering themselves.
Either this is an elaborate hoax on Cushman's part to keep us non-enetertained while doing nothing or it's some very clever bug. Or a life game simulator of the random kind.
And it really is quite hard to believe that a cycle which trows up an error message but continues iteration, or a case of instancing (can it be done in php?) to maximum depth would just randomly introduce itself.
So Cushman... what gives?

I did notice the reordering and such. But I'm rather dumb when it comes to computer-y stuff. Otherwise, my computer wouldn't be in the process of dying from some trojan my multiple anti-virus programs are missing. ><
Maybe they got tired of the comic and instead of saying so, came up with this tricksy plot in order to make people go away. Or quite possibly they angered the gods and you need to be on AfterlifeNet in order to connect to the spam.
You should place the same links on your webcomic! Google will make the connection and, seeing this is a highly visited page, should give yours a little push up the ranks too. Or not.
