Lune from "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33". A young, beautiful woman with dark hair and a row of magic runes tattooed down the left side of her face. She holds up her right gloved hand, producing a magical flame.

Lune from "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33". The full sketch, including rough "pencils" and final "inks", will be posted in Monday's GPF Premium exclusive Jeff's Sketchbook.

Unfortunately, no. Most of the ones I'm aware of have ended or, worse, gone completely offline. Even the venerable "User Friendly" isn't advisable; my DNS provider blocks it due to a "security threat". (Perhaps the neglected site got hacked?)

Printed books aren't very likely at this point, but I haven't given up hope. DRM-free e-books *ARE* on the agenda, but I don't have an ETA for those yet.

Well nuts. Didn't see this until now. Guess I know what I'm doing next... (Thanks, BTW.)

There were a few bumps getting it to work (apparently my Perl is getting rusty), but "rerun mode" should be working now. Enjoy!

General Protection Fault General Protection Fault is a wacky, zany on-line comic strip full of geeky fun, bizarre characters, and a sentient slime mold or two. The strip runs three days per week, every Monday, Wednesday, and ...

Congratulations to @gpfjeff.bsky.social for a long and successful run of General Protection Fault. The site entered rerun mode today with the inaugural strip from November 2, 1998. www.gpf-comics.com

In case no one has noticed, the GPF site is now in "rerun mode". It should show a "new" old strip each day, starting from the beginning of the archive. Naturally, you can still scroll through the archive and read it from beginning to end, but at least the front page should have something "new" daily

Eh, "SM2" got its start during the run of "SM1", which was Year 4 of the comic, so 20 is the closer multiple of 5 to round to. But it's still insignificant on a geological/astronomical scale, so who's counting? (Thanks, by the way.)

Dear Game Developers:

If you insist on having a mechanic where you need to precisely mash buttons to flap bird wings to maintain flight, PLEASE add a workaround for old arthritic thumbs that can't do this for more than a few minutes tops.

Sincerely,

I know that's supposed to be the hand-held tractor beam, but it looks like Wesley is REALLY happy to see Troi...

I agree with all of the above: "Study in Scarlet" may be first, but it's the weakest. "Baskervilles" is the best of the novels. The short stories are what everyone considers the core of Holmesian lore. Don't be afraid to skip ahead.

It is finished. The final page of "Surreptitious Machinations II" is finally in the update queue. The "epic" over two decades in the making finally concludes on November 17, 2025.

I want my big screen Alley-Kat Abra, darn it!

You're always welcome to use Sam Spaniel (Private Eye) if you want. I know you had some scans of him in the past, but if you need a reference, ping me and I can dig up some.

GPF is currently down due to an issue with our service provider. Techs are on the case, but I have no ETA for the fix.

The Webcomic Crossover & Cameo Archive - Keeping track of your webcomic characters since 14th February 2005!

A recent cameo from another webcomic has been spotted in the #webcomic of "General Protection Fault" by @gpfjeff.bsky.social, thereby prompting an update to the comic's entry in the #CameoArchive (crossovers.dragoneers.com)! 😎

This morning they delivered our Switch 2 Pro Controller that we ordered at the same time. Sure would be nice if we had a game system to pair it with...

It involved months of intense study over an ancient, dusty, weathered text call "the Atlas", and making a sacrifice of oil, tire rubber, and chicken blood to the great gods Rand and McNally.

Walmart is playing dirty, tricking people into canceling their Nintendo Switch 2 orders. If you get a message saying there is something wrong with your payment method, do NOT try and change it. They will claim you are a scammer/scalper and cancel your order.

Is it wrong for me to see it as delicious irony that GMail, Google's flagship web mail client, flagged an e-mail from Google itself touting the marvels of its very own AI assistant, Gemini, as spam...?

Today, I am no longer Tin. I am now Antimony. I am a lustrous gray metal commonly used in alloys with lead, as well as flame retardants and semiconductors. I can be toxic with effects similar to arsenic, but can also be found in some medicines. I've been know since the days of ancient Egypt.

Me, working on "Surreptitious Machinations II":

Writer Me: I wrote this two decades ago, so all I have to do now is fix grammar and pacing!

Artist Me: The art here is challenging, but with all these special effects, I can leave most of it to the coloring phase!

Colorist Me: I hate you both.

You'll find out in September. ;)
