So to recap for those completely lost, there is a town somewhere called Blind Alley where a bunch of kid's hang out and talk about nothing in particular while learning important lessons about bullying and such. Most of the comics are like this one but there are lots of weird details hinting that there's more happening under the surface. Some of these weird details include:

1) A mysterious figure living in the sewers
2) One of the kid's remembering another character's name as once being "Betty" but for some reason isn't able to put his finger on when such a change may have happened nor can anybody remember her ever using that name
3) One of the kids having dreams that hint at some sort of great tragedy/rebirth to come. She hangs out with another kid who can speak to trees or something.
4) The town being full of cameras disguised as birds.
5) The hobo kid carrying what appears to be a Great Old One in his sack.
6) The baby having psychic powers.
7) A can on a string in a back yard somewhere where if you listen to it you hear gibberish.
8) One of the kids being able to do real magic when trying to do fake stage magic.
9) One kid having no idea what a cat is.
10) Large chunks of the town being in dilapidated or in a state of disrepair.

As far as actual plot it's pretty vague but so far the major events are that a hobo kid gets a letter from a bird and based on it's contents decides to head to Blind Alley. Meanwhile in Blind Alley the neighborhood dog and best friend of the kid with the skull mask leaves town in shame after ruining a card game while chasing a stick. The computer nerd kid discovers the bird cameras and starts collecting them from around town. He discovers something shocking through his research but his laptop is stolen by an unknown actor before he can learn more. Meanwhile the dog runs into the hobo kid, sees the great old one in his satchel and books it. The great old one and hobo kid give chase realizing that the dog may know the way to Blind Alley but the chase is interrupted by mysterious creatures who chase both parties. They reach a cliff and hobo kid drops his sack on a stick which the dog fetches on instinct causing him to jump into the chasm and possibly (but probably not) killing him. Good job hobo kid.

And that's kind of where we left off. The dog is probably dead, the skull kid is sad the dog is missing, the hippie twins are still having ominous dreams, and the computer kid is freaking out over his missing computer.

Got that? Good, you are now qualified to read Blind Alley. Use this power wisely.


E: Here's the cast page to remind you of who everybody is:

Seconding the enthusiasm, looking forward to seeing more of this.

I wonder if the original version of the page is still floating around online somewhere, though.

New format, somewhere in between a manwha and a western comic.

No, I don't know who any of these characters are. I took some screenshots at Keenspot.

Why do people like to argue about Blind Alley? I don’t read the other comics thread

I personally don't think blind alley is real and the guy who posted it made it up on the spot.

Oh no, ulterior motives! Sort of! Also check out poor Pakiri and Yasmidia hanging out with that accented thief from Team Spelt in the first page of this update.

loving gacha, it's insidious. I do get a little chuckle out of "Anus Smasher", though. The thought that someone in real life not only managed to acquire such an epithet but also that it found its way into written record to come down to us... well, I think it's funny. I hope there's some kind of Thorin Oakenshield story behind it.

Oh, Anus Smasher is a rare pull, how about that.

When Lyndon first explained how pacifist magic worked, I thought he meant that killing anyone with his spells took away his ability to do the magic at all, so I thought that first death from his magic was a way bigger deal than it turned out to be
