Remember when Chapter 4 ended and that was most definitely going to be Paranatural's longest chapter?

I only got into Paranatural like, three weeks ago. I like it. Do y'all normally go all Chicken Little whenever it goes on hiatus?

As mentioned, Zach was forged in the fires of anime and your puny Western hiatuses pale in comparison to the Japanese masters' like Togashi and Miura. Only GRRM can compare.

I mean I wouldn't be shocked if this was the end (webcomics after all) but yeah Zack still seems passionate so if I was a betting man my money would be on them coming back fresh next year and I'm fully supportive of a hiatus, everyone deserves a good long break from work every now and then, especially when you've got a work related injury like they do. And yeah some time off to wrangle the story and edit it sleeker would not hurt.

Maybe he'll work up a buffer so we won't miss updates as often. Plus having something laid out several pages before publishing allows for better editor work.

This hiatus is nothing. Now, the decade between Sherlock Holmes dying and returning? That's a hiatus. I hope after this Zach comes back with cool robot arms.

Best thing about all of your comments so far is that I discovered the disgustingly adorable Blindsprings, so thanks for that  Also if you want to see TRUE webcomic hiatus, look at Broodhollow. Straub remade the beginning of chapter 3 like three times since last year, and the current last page was posted in July.

I left a comment thanking them for making a really good comic and Zack was pretty happy with all the encouraging words on social media and said they are p happy to finally take their first day of break in a long time.

This comic is mad good when you're binging through it but when you hit the end and wind up hanging on each issue it is much less good.

I got some Paranatural vibes off the latest Never Satisfied. The girl with the bird on her head seems to be channeling Max. That "huh?" "huh?" with the fixed smile as she gets thrown really reminds me of Zach's kind of humor.

I do think some of these younger artists would be better served doing smaller projects with a very clear scope of how it's going to play out. These monolithic stories are great, but it consumes you utterly and seems to get unhealthy very quickly. Hussie was literally spending every waking hour on Homestuck (although to be fair he did start with Problem Sleuth), and Zack of course has the wrist issues. It gets even worse because fans get very invested in the story, adding another potentially toxic element to the whole thing. It's bad enough that some not-insignificant portion of Zack's livelihood depends upon Paranatural being updates, but there's likely a decent chunk of lovely people that give them grief every time an update is missed. poo poo, even if there isn't, you still likely feel bad whenever you miss an update, regardless of how nice people are about it. I recall ggdg from Cucumber Quest saying she regrets her first independent project being CQ because it's consumes so much of her time. And, not surprisingly, CQ has been on a hiatus all summer long. It was started up the same month as Paranatural, and is maybe halfway through the story. I'd just hate to see extremely talented people get burned out on stuff like this.

More comics than not on my reading list are on hiatus, even some that aren't. All the good comics die young.

Cucumber Quest at least has managed to stay mostly on track with it's plot and ggdg still hasn't been able to get it any further then maybe half-way done at this point. Zack's dug a much, much bigger hole for themselves, considering the story has bloated to a massive conspiracy mystery involving at least five distinct sides (The Paranormal Activity Club, the Consortium, the Lady, and two factions we barely know yet in the Brotherhood of Man and the Circle of Jerks) with there being several floating players that may or may not be attached to one, multiple, or none of these groups. The main cast has bloated to the point where who were once side characters are now stealing months worth of strips (Cody) and have overloaded Checkov's Gun to the point of misfiring because now everyone's scouring the old pages after some of the reveals from Chapters 4 and 5. If they are ever going to finish the strip, Zack's gonna have to start pruning branches off this project and get some outside help to pick up the pace because at this point they're going to spend the rest of their life finishing the current semester of Max's story. What I'm saying is that if Zack walks away at this point to do something else for a while I'd be sad but not surprised.

Here's a bump to make sure the thread doesn't fall into archives before the new year. Favorite Johnny lines, y'all? I'm still partial to his entire conversation with Max through the fence.
