It's not as if he has any way to track it, though. He can count hashtags on Tumblr and Twitter, but he certainly can't track things posted on all the random other platforms -- maybe even not all those on Reddit. I'm thinking too much about this, aren't I?

Fun fact: the latest page is one of only three pages in the entire comic containing the word "Homestuck," the other two being the title page and this page.

I didn't really think this update was all that exceptional. I'm not taking a selfie because I'll call Hussie's bluff and see if he has the guts to delete Homestuck. Go ahead. You want my ugly mug with your ghost horse rear end? You'll get it when your comic's dead and buried.

News post just went up on the main page:Andrew Hussie posted:9828 had a song and a drawing by James Roach and Ipgd respectively. Whoa, those are respectively very very good. The doomsday screed is by this son of a bozo, and it does appear to have motivated quite a STRONG wave of selfie posting. Maybe enough to even save the website from old man Hussie? Guess we'll find out. Hmm, sure does seem like Homestuck has a lot of good lookin' readers. I must say I am impressed. I have taken quite an extensive tour through your offerings and I have yet to find an unattractive face in front of Arquiusprite's tremendous buttocks. Kudos to every single selfie-snapper for being so preposterously photogenic. Just, wow. People have got a couple tumblr archives already if you want to take a look. I don't know which of those is "better," or more exhaustive, but you know what, a little competition never killed anybody. I guess they can be like the Coke and Pepsi of this baloney rear end stunt, for as long as people wanna keep pointing phones at their own faces.

The more he talks about the huge animation project that necessitates another huge pause the more I think he's just going to be assembling the pilot episode of Homestuck: The Animated Series.

God is dead, done in by a gaudy-rear end cat-crow androgyne and a robot blueblood bodybuilder with abs on his tail. He got killed so dead, the echoes of this hug traveled all the way back into the late 1800s and smacked some German doofus with a lame mustache in the back of the head.

Plom Bar posted:Honestly I have never been closer to quitting this comic as I am right now and I'm not even sure why If we can look past the silliness and calls for 9k selfies for a moment, I think Hussie slipping in some self-deprecating self-awareness there talking about how all the narrative twists and turns have paid off is a positive. It's a little nod and wink to the fact that he still has the story well in hand and knows what he's doing indulging in another goofy digression, he hasn't actually lost sight of the big picture. The very language he used suggests he's staying engaged with the tone of discussion surrounding the comic at the moment.

I don't really understand any of the response, even if people are overblowing it to match the facetious upselling Hussie does in the update. Like I guess I feel like I've just seen this joke already a few times in the comic.

The response is because this is literally a Horse Attacking A Football Player level masterpiece. Also we have seen the joke already, like a quarter of the comic is the joke, but it never gets old to me because its always done with a twist, or is just executed very well.
