Like this comic? Why not comment on it?

Osk:

 after all, horses can charge. and a unicorn is somewhat like a horse that comes to a point. and its pointing at you. at that, its a sharp point as well. You get my point?

Odo:

 Oh....a herd of unicorns in the snow. *hugs Alien for thinking of this* So beautiful.

Alien:

 Thanks, but do go hug Mith. His invention.

Firelander:

Caribet:

 Lovely - very lovely!

Pulsar:

 Oooh pretty! Probably explains the horse that just appeared in the sketchbook section. There's no in-between-frames-pixies in todays comic ... i wonder why :P

hkmaly:

 Hmmm .... so many white unicorns ... should we worry about black unicorns behind our (or cameramans?) back?

Vulpis:

 So...which one's voiced by Mia Farrow? ;-)

Anakha:

 And more important, what are they running from? The Forest does not seem aflame......;)

RocksMapsandCrafts:

 Fantastic art! Well Done! Happy Holidays!

Winterbay:

 Cool. Glad you didn't take the cop out of Donald Duck with the "4 ice bears in a snowstorm" (i.e. a white painting...).
Allthough I must admit to having seen one such a pinting IRL it was black and called "Blind man looking out through a window"...

Thena:

 Gorgeous.

Ultrainventor:

 so that answers my question. that is a lot of unicorns.

Chariset:

 Looks like we're going to learn about the Lady's backstory....

Ladyfox7oaks:

 OH! How Beautiful! Do they run from something? or TO something, I wonder?

Fifi the Wonder Poodle:

 A group of unicorns is called a blessing...

Lusiad:

 I the only one who had the "Ride of the Valkyries" sounding in my head upon looking at that picture?

-Norbert-:

 I guess most people had a dramatic piece from "The Last Unicorn" soundtrack in their heads (hence the references to the forrest not being aflame).
But to me they don't really look afraid or like they are rushing at topspeed through the forrest. Looks more like they just gallop for the fun of it. Just a pleasure stroll you could say.

hkmaly:

 -Norbert-: I agree that they don't look afraid or frightened. But I also think that unicorns are not so gregarious and it's not normal to have so many of them on one place. Therefore, I would assume they running TO something. Maybe last virgin in area?

eekee:

 hkmaly, if I was that virgin I think I'd be frightened, unicorns being unicorns or not! XD

I'm a bit sorry for the pun which first popped into my head: Charge of the Light Brigade. I hope these creatures fare better. It's a wonderful scene. :)

Mithandir:

 Some word-of-creator:
1) Unicorns move in herds in the World That Is (see the grey unicorn backstory)
2) that was a pixie in the last strip

Inbetween:

 I know that alot of peopel already said this but...it's beutiful. well done, and a happy new year

Odo:

 Alien - I'd just as rather hug you, but I'll give Mith a hug, too. Happy New Year to the pair of you. Every posting is a joy to me.

Orca:

 Where's the crashing castle?

Osk:

 even when they dont move in herds, im sure they will cooperate if the situation warrants it. anyway, some of them on the left seem about to run into a tree. Could we get a drawing like this but more from the side? i'd really appreciate that. regards

spark ozzy:

 when will they grow back to normal size

no one:

 WAITING hope next one will be good.

spark flare:

 DON'T CONFUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spark flare:

 r u there

Zypher:

 As I recall, a group of unicorns is a glory, not a blessing... and not a herd. Herd is too mundane

Mouse:

 A herd of unicorns is called a blessing. :)

Lindale:

 I think a group of unicorns is called a glory too, but I don't know where I found that out.
It might make more sense than 'blessing' though as it's similar to a 'pride' of lions, for example?

Arious:

 If you've ever seen the movie, "The Last Unicorn" with the voice of Angela Lansbery and music by the band America, they have a few unicorn charges in that. Much the same thing and it sets the precident for unicorn charges in the first place, nice picture by the way..

spark flare:

 what was the movies name?

Kuyselle Goldword:

 Holy Cheezits Rice, that's amazing. You can hear the hooves and everything. I would be scared if I was Hermana Grande*...
*Big Sister. This is what happens when you come straight home from your Spanish midterms.

Watsuki:

 Grey Unicorn's backstory? I must've missed that somewhere... can somebody point the way?

Volxtreema:

 pwetty unicorns

Ultrainventor:

 anyone ever heard of the unicorn man? kind of strange. he got onto riplies because he had a horn on the top of his head.
anyway, nice drawing. I wonder if it would be possible to... meheheheheh. make a unicorn through genetic modification. that would be pretty cool, and, if done right, the unicorn could look as beutiful as some of these ones. gah! there I go again.

Ultrainventor:

 i cant spell...

Arious:

 Actually their is an old old and I mean really old book which describes the procedure of implanting a horn into the head of the lead horse in a herd. This was susposedly the source of the stories. This however is only a rumor more than anything else, but if it's true it would be interesting... oh, and as to the answer of the name of the movie, "The Last Unicorn" I said it earlier but apparently the person asking was a little blind.

Winterbay:

 I notice that there is now a timer to the next comic. I'm looking forward to that one already :)

Volxtreema:

 So when is the comic normally updated??

Arya :

 Hello.
Mithandir, you make me so happy with your herd of white unicorns. :)
I'm back by-the-way.

Winterbay:

 @Volxtreema: It is normally, when the creators have enough time and sanity left over to do the comic, seeing as they are busy leading ordinary lifes as well, updated Monday - Wednesday - Friday. Timer seems to indicate an update on Friday now. Yay! :)

Winterbay:

 Hm.... The timer has reset to Monday but no new comic? :(
Should there be one or was the timer lying?

Alien:

 As always, stuff always seems to happen :/
First Mithandir's mouse broke down, then i got feverishly ill. I'm hoping to be well enough to make it by monday, but things are hectic all over. Tuesday i have to go abroad for who knows how long, and well...
End line is, we're not giving up on this comic, but it looks like the universe wants us to.

Arious:

 Just remember the demented logic of a certain Furry filled elf does help to warp their minds a great deal. After dealing with that self same elf and his young dragon friend I have no doubt they need time to gain their wits once again....

Volxtreema:

 What happened to the monday update??

That guy:

 Ah well, it was a decent comment while it lasted, have fun with whatever you guys do in the RL. *deletes bookmark* *sniffles*

That guy:

 I meant to say comic but I'm horrible.

Pendraco:

 ..hey.. just because it's been put on hiatus, doesn't mean it's gone for good. i'm willing to wait it out. plus us Humans have this habit of saying "screw you" to the universe until it accepts that we won't stop or it crushes us outright.

Winterbay:

 Oh, now it's 27 days. The mystery continues...

I hope it comes back soon, as I miss it already, but as a person with a busy life myself I know that things can conspire against you when you least want it. Ketchup effect and all that. My bookmark and me will be here waiting for the next installment of one of the best webcomics around atm :)

Winterbay:

 Also, if one reads what has been posted one can get information one misses in ones earlier post :)
Have fun abroad if possible :)

Furia Firelander:

 Wow 27 days, something doesn't seem right here.

:

 I'll be waiting till you return!

Stacy Sims:

 what a great site and informative posts, I will add a backlink and bookmark your site. Keep up the good work!


surface encounters macomb

Winterbay:

 27 days seems like aperfectly perfect counter for a return I'd say. It's good to at least have a counter instead of an "Unknown" :)

spark flare:

 i need the movies name please!

Winterbay:

 @spark flare: I guess you mean "The Last Unicorn" ?

Mareopayday:

 Payday loan

Oblitteceance:

 And you could paint this theme more in detail, it seems to me that here something does not suffice

that guy again:

 I don't know whether the universe at large wants you to give up this, but there are several small parts of it that don't. (One of them wrote this.)

Fifi the Wonder Poodle:

 What's up with slowness of the updates? Lulz, sorry I'm kind of impatient, I just really wanna know what'll happen next! :O *tries not to hyperventilate*

Midnight:

 @Fifi:
> I just really wanna know what'll happen next! :O

1. Download latest picture
2. Set as desktop background, "original size, centered"
3. Every morning, open file in image editor, magnify to 110%, save, exit
>:-D

Someguy:

 I'm kind of disappointed that the Magnifier didn't reveal a hidden message in the snow or something... like "You found the hidden message! :O" Oh well.

Winterbay:

 Fifi: Read the post by alien a few coments up for information (quoted below):

"As always, stuff always seems to happen :/

A couple of notes ...

  1. Strips may be a bit rare in the next week or so. The software I've been writing for work for the past 8 months is going live on monday in three plants simultaneously. I'll be busy.
  2. Also, I still have a pin in my hand, which will be removed on friday the 8th
  3. The "official" chasing the sunset IRC channel has moved to chat.freenode.net channel ##adnd (two hashes).
  4. You may like this (warning: 1.6 Mb image)
  5. Happy New Year to everybody following the western calendar!

Creature of the day: Himapandara


In Hinduism, Himapandra, or 'Snow Palace', is the guardian of the northern part of the world, and mount of the treasure-king Kubera. Along with the rest of the Locapalas, he bears the world from atop the tortoise Akupara, guarded by the world serpent.
