Waiting shouldn't be a problem for most people here. We have waited how long for Diablo 3, or even a new game in the Diablo series.
So a few weeks for a comic shouldn't be a problem. Heck I have to wait 2-3 weeks for my manga to be delivered. How is this any different. Or maybe it's more like Stoptazmo or other scanlation of manga sites, they do a new chapter every month, if you lucky.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
There's probably a whole section of psychology devoted to the psychology of waiting.
Probably. Must be a boring class, rather learn about the psychology of fears. Daemonophobia might be a fun subject.
Daemonophobia is defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of demons or daemons", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.

They did this scientific experiment where they showed this guy a digital counter like you would see on a normal alarm clock only that the numbers were going so fast that you could only see the blocks. Then they made this guy watch the counter while budgie jumping and he could see and remember the numbers., and What they found out was that you're mind can actually slow down time during a heightened state of alert.
That doesn't have all that much to do psychology of waiting, nor the waiting of a comic.
Kinda seems like the opposite, if I am in a heightened state of alert while waiting for the comic my brain will slow down time?

I've actually had that experience myself! Except, well, I didn't really feel under stress, I was quite relaxed. I was standing against the fence in the basketball court at school with my friends. They were 'shooting hoops' while I was drinking a bottle of coke. Then, one of the guys (not necessarily my friend) throws one of the basketballs at me.
I watched the ball as it came flying towards me in an arc. It was actually moving strangely SLOWLY. I had time to glance at it, glance away, and glance back again. I remember thinking "Meh, I have plenty of time" lol. To me, it felt like I was standing there for a while, watching it slowly come. When it was about half way at me, I thought it was time I should screw the lid back on my coke bottle so as not to spill it. As I was screwing on the lid, I glanced up again and noticed the ball was getting a bit too close for comfort, so I decided that its probably time I get out of the ball's way lol. Just when it was about to hit me, I leaned to the side and dodged it. Just when it hit the fence is when time seemed to have gone back to normal speed.
The guy was like "Holy shit! I can't believe you dodged that!". Heh, it was cool. It was very Matrix-like; relaxed, waiting for it to come, then casually moving out of the way. It didn't feel like the ball was moving abnormally slow at the time, but afterwards I realised that wow, it was really slow.
My mind must have been going super fast for my perception to seemingly slow down the coming of the ball.
Actually, it reminds me of Action Man, with his adrenaline rush that slows down the situation. That must be where they got the idea from.
You have time to recall memories and make big posts like that but not give us new portions of the comic.
I can't really give you too much greif over that though, I am no better. I have so much stuff I should be doing, and here I am talking about the fact I am not doing them.

lol, I know, I'm sorry. I also have heaps of uni work to do too, and that unfortunately comes before the comic.

It has undergone several name changes too. If I was to look for what ever it was first called I wouldn't find it.
But yeah, over crowded forums, lot's of stickied threads. however if you view the new posts (link under top banner) it will appear in there whenever a new reply is added, but that is still no guarantee you would see it.

Sorry, I still don't have anything with the comic ready. Its really hard at the moment, being the end of semester and all when all my large and important assignments are due.
BUT, I decided to quickly colour in my old crappy Lord of Satire comics as a backup plan lol. I got Jetrall to colour in one of them (the first one). I think he did a great job, but I realised that its really not the kind of work that someone like Jetrall should be doing lol, its far too below him. So I coloured in the other two myself. But other than colouring, there really isn't anything for anyone else to do in the comic, its really only up to me. Don't worry guys, I'll get it done eventually.
Notes: I know, Diablo is a bit hard to see, but too bad lol. And I know that the 'what a douche' phrase was used incorrectly, but it was on purpose.
You probably could have made a short joke wherein the characters break the fourth wall and mention the fact they are in a comic, or slightly edited the pictures so the characters where playing the game, yeh, even Diablo. You think he would try kill himself? Or would he let himself (the one in the game) win?

You have to admit that he's good.

Well, okay, probably not. But still, its a pretty complex human thing.
