The End

Hey Ever’body!

Here’s the thrilling The End Page. Wow, it’s like a 3rd grader drew it or something!

I have a bazillion bukoos of news, here’s to hoping I can remember everything.

FIRST: Here’s that podcast you ordered. Me and Ron talking about everything Lint-related and answering most of your questions. We actually did this on December 23rd, so it’s slightly dated. Some things I left unanswered, because of future Lint possibilities.

SECOND: I got inspired and finished putting Lint into print! I looked into a lot of options, and found that I couldn’t get the same level of quality for any less (at least, not that I found), so I went ahead and finished out the volumes at Lulu. Now available, Lint Vol. 5 and Lint Vol. 6!

THIRD: Lint and my future comic endeavors have just been accepted into the SpiderForest collective~ Buncha great people, over there, I tells ya.

FOURTH: Speaking of future comic endeavors, what about my next work, eh!? Well, it’s titled “Pygmalion in Space” and here it is in embryonic form. Frumph will be creating the site, so you can watch it be built from the ground up (and an fyi; he hasn’t touched it yet. All that nastiness is my own horrible handiwork). In fact, probably everything will change before it actually starts, but now you can watch it evolve until opening day, which, if nothing hitches, should be later this month.

FIFTH: The Comic Creator’s Alliance will start taking donations to stop Human Trafficking on January 11th! This concerns you because… well… human trafficking is bad, and PLUS if you donate you get a nifty wallpaper with art from a ton of webcomic artists, including myself.

SIXTH: Is something I forgot!

Anyway, Thanks for reading, thanks for being around and for all the support. See you soon!

Love,

Colby

    That was so beautiful. I hate that it ended, but I'm glad it did at the same time.
  • Omg. I just read this whole thing in onnnnnnnne day. I don't even know how I found it (oh wait, just remembered, from http://comicalliance.weebly.com/the-people.html ). And. It says 'fine fluff' at the top. I wasn't expecting EPICNESS.
    I'm.... sad, that I feel like I just found it, and it's already gone.
  • Quaro
    I loved this webcomic so much I created an ebook of the entire Lint story.
  • Rachael
    ok. once again. i want to cry. CRYYYYYYYY

    All I have to say. :)

    Thankyou so much for taking the time to create this work of genius. This is one of the best web-comics (more like 'epic'!) that I've ever read.
    Your characters are all fantastic, the plot=epic win, and it was really great to see your art progress so much.
    Zedwig is probably the character I'm most obsessed with (though I love them all!)... I'd love to know what happened to that clever, tragic hottie. XD hahaha!
    I you ever decide to continue this- I AM SO THERE!
    Thankyou once again for your awesomeness.
    : )

    The end was WONDERFUL ! I didn't think it would be so beautiful, so moving ! Raaaah, I miss already all your characters. I'm sorry for my english very limited é_è I'd like express myself better. I'm going to listen your podcast : I hope I'll understand you and Ron ^^'

    Thank you very much for your comic and you can be sure that I'll read "Pygmalion in Space" too ! The first page is great ! *o*
  • Arothel Simensis
    THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST STORIES EVER!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for your new comic, but I wish this one wasn't over!!! This should be made into a move!
  • Thank you for reading it!
  • Phenoca
    Making a movie would require some organization. Not to mention funding.
  • spas
    k, finally listened to the podcast and you & ron are so cute - you're right - he is funny! his impression of the mexican waiter was hilarious! though i am one of the females here who adores the pretty long-haired elves. i am sad that xylic and hope are not to be, but i still 'ship them...as you say, you never know and if one fairy could fall in love, then another could too! (especially seeing as you already have a name for their hypothetical daughter! heehee) it would be ironic for all the nay-sayers who look down on xylic for his human blood that he ended up 'purifying' the elven race again. i think i said that before, but...who cares - i'm a ship'er! there were so many points where you were about to tell us something but didn't - i LOVE THAT...gives me hope that you will carry on with these characters in another story and are just waiting for a new inspiration, as you say. i did like the names with the double meanings (secret names - ha!), which reminded me of how that's always done in good literature in order to represent something about the character, but in this case it mostly mocked that tradition in a fun way. you're right, you did use the cliches well and laugh at literary traditions while still developing your own lovable characters and story.

    it was nice to hear your thoughts, too, because your impression of the characters obviously goes much deeper than has been revealed so far, even through the books. i love how xylic and sangwine's friendship is deepening, but we didn't see that so much in the comic as the book -- and it seems like it happened AFTER bactine's death, as they were never so close before then, but they really need each other now. it was interesting too, to hear that your opinion of zedwig's attempt at reforming fangline is more a result of his neuroses than of your belief that even the darkest villain CAN be reformed in the end, which i thought it might have been leading up to until james intervened. zedwig's neuroses - i am so sad for him, out there in his garden alone. i suppose he'll be ok, it's just the place for some zedwig-style R&R, but it also seems lonely. i think i have a lot more to say, but i've got to go for now - i'll probably revisit these comments later. oh - and i will DEFINITELY be around for more no matter what it is, even if it is pigs in space, you silly silly people! (and 'spas' is short for spastic freakshow - and i definitely am a bit of an eccentric) - much love!
  • Xylic and Sang's friendship couldn't totally solidify like it did until Bactine was dead, so at least there was one positive thing that came out of it!

    Also, Zedwig wouldn't hang around for long once Fang was gone. Although where he goes is a secret...
  • spas
    i'm going to have to go with curtain #3, bob - that colby was a secret evil character all along & her charming persona is but a carefully constructed but misleading facade! no! it can't be - zedwig's going on an adventure - to where? i think an installment of the illusionist's apprentice would help distract me from the curiosity which is eating me alive!
  • it's so beautiful! *sniff*
  • LeafyGreenTerrorist
    I've seen that show!!! I love it! :D And thank you for the podcast; it was amazing!
  • Flo
    Congratulations Colby, What a beautiful epic you created! I've enjoyed following the travails of each and every character. Flo
  • Especially Hope ;D
  • Rachael
    Yeah! What happens to her? there are a couple of loose ends here and there! (sang's middle name, what happens to the hope/xylic possible love story, where's zed and fang, do the blondie elves make a comeback, etc)
  • Phenoca
    Must know Sanguine's middle-name!! As for the Zedwig, you must read "The Various Shades of Fangline" from the Lint Literature section!
  • Flamus
    Grats Colby on a work excellently done. Lint was wonderful. Can't wait to see what's brewing next.
  • the_pale_lady
    SQUEE!!!!!! Thank you for all your fabulosity up to this point and thank you again for your future works!
  • jello
    Best. Page. Eva!
    I love art that looks like it belongs on your grandma's fridge. :)
    I'm really glad it didn't end like a Disney film.
  • HelenaHermione
    "Pygmalion in Space"--sounds interesting; never thought that could travel all the way into the future...although it did travel to Hollywood/LA in the 1990s, but yeah. Pygmalion, in its own way, has been the sort of 'Beauty and the Beast' thing remade, and so I'll be interested in finding out how the Cockney girl gets translated for space--human or nonhuman?
  • It's less the play and more the greek myth.
  • Rachael
    POSSIBLE PYG IN SPACE GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!! (sorry, cant think of the word for giving something away...... what is it?!?)
    so its gonna be a clay/marble thing or is it totally myth-translated-to-then and robot?
  • Phenoca
    O.o
    It's pronounced Fang"line", not Fang"leen".
    Chapter 15's title page was not self-explanatory!
    "Rachel"?
    Sanguine's middle name is... Interesting.
    Short hair = No better than a human?
    Her inspirational music is from Battlestar Galactica and Vitamin String Quartet music... Never heard them.
    It's called a colon. Oops - apostrophe!
    I'll play Sanguine in the movie! But... My hair is wrong.
    Ok - glad you finished writing Shades of Fangline (I haven't read it yet).
    Yes, finish Illusionist's Apprentice and the Exploding Letters!
    ... I think I phased-out about halfway through, when you started talking about James and Kelneth (the latter
    Frost is a good name. Is that how it's spelt? Everyone is a Dwarf?
    rofl - the six fingered man was [u]not[/u] cool. And Zedwig took the role on the Halloween page.
    Colby called us smart wonderful kind good intelligent [and] thoughtful. But only three male readers? There have to be more!!
  • Rachael
    ok totally confused by that comment.... explain?
  • Phenoca
    Those were my thoughts and revelations on the podcast... Heh heh, it was like, "What's that word for 'apostrophe'?" But... In other news, my fan-fiction is coming along well - nicely. I added some more characters into it (beginnings of the Mariachi band, when its founder is captured by the Rascaline militia, of which Regnar is a member)... Last chapter I wrote was about a goblin raider saving the life of a militia dog :)
  • Rachael
    AWWWW!!! thats the cutest fairy! XP
    I'm SO gonna miss reading this thing and looking forward to the next page! i'll definitely read your new work!!!
  • Rachael
    ahem. next page of pygmalion.
  • The_One_Guy
    Thanks for an amazing comic, it will be missed.
