RIGHT so here’s what’s going on
RIGHT so here’s what’s going on. It’s simple really, and pretty much goes without saying: there’s just been no time for me to focus on making aLp. Believe me, I’ve been trying to make some time, figuring I could at least crank out a new comic here and there for the sake of updating. That’s why I go so long without even an explanation – cuz I keep thinking I’m gonna update on a given week… but then that week flies by, and then the next, then the next, and suddenly it’s been months without a peep and then some of you guys start spreading rumors that I’ve died.
So it’s weird and backwards but basically I disappear for so long cuz I AM thinking about making new comics, not because I’m not. I just don’t wanna keep giving you empty promises, so I just end up sayin’ zip. The big problem is I’m shit at planning out what I’m gonna be able to accomplish in a given time period; it’s hard for me to give y’all meaningful info when I don’t even have it myself.
Anyway, I know what to say right now. I’m still gonna be too busy for the next few months to do new comics regularly, but I WILL try to do SOME. I’m just not gonna give you any false hope of some crazy renaissance from me in the near future. aLp continues to live on, sporadically. Hook yourself up to my Twitter, Facebook page, RSS, and email list, and you’ll get any new comics and blog updates from me, honest injun! That’s racist.
For what it’s worth, I do have a good reason to stay in the comics game, at the very least. The big (secret, ooh) thing that’s keeping me so flippin busy is indeed comics-related. You’ll hear all about it within the next few months. So, there’s that.
As always, THANK YOU, godammit, THANK YOU for caring. It’s EASY to have loyal fans when you’re Jeph Fuckin’ Jacques and you know, you update every day with awesome comics and live-streamed drawing sessions… but when you post 3 comics a year and disappear for months at a time like me, and still have fans as dedicated as you guys? That’s… that’s weird, you guys should get some help.

Worth the wait ;)
September 7th, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Costs me nothing to wait, man. I was doing it anyway, and it’s not like you owe me comics. It’s a pleasant surprise when I check and there’s one there, like some sort of random christmas.
September 7th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Yeah, what CurlyJim said.
September 7th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
ALP fan: “I thought you were dead?”
Bernie H “I get that a lot…”
September 7th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Nice to see you’re okay, man.
Do what you can, when you can. :)
September 8th, 2011 at 12:50 am
Yay!!!!!
September 8th, 2011 at 3:42 am
Random hugs!!!
September 8th, 2011 at 4:44 am
What they said, RSS just tells me when you’ve said something and I go ‘yay!’ and then read it. Looking forward to whatever comes along and glad to hear you’re not that dead. It’s not like I pay your wages :-)
September 8th, 2011 at 4:52 am
As usual, take your time.
September 8th, 2011 at 5:51 am
We can wait! Was excited to see something in my RSS today. Cheers for the update and best of luck with the secret project
September 8th, 2011 at 7:30 am
It’s good to know that your going to continue putting up comics when you get the time. Like CurlyJim said, it costs nothing to wait & we we’re doing it anyway. You don’t owe us comics, we just appreciate it when you do get the chance to make them. We’ll just keep looking forward to the next update, whenever it arrives. Keep up the good work Dude.
September 8th, 2011 at 8:43 am
We’ll wait… you will always came back to us, your loyal, creepy, Misery-style faithful fans. Ok, I think I went a bit far here… :P
September 8th, 2011 at 8:49 am
we’re waiting….! but I like #349, keep coming back to it. Might be hard to beat…
September 8th, 2011 at 11:01 am
I actually just saw this update cause I follow you at inkoutbreak.com Love this stuff I hope to see more, but I know how life can get busy
September 8th, 2011 at 1:51 pm
Can’t wait!
September 9th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Looking forward to when you have the time to make more. I keep the site bookmarked and check back once or twice a week just to see if it has updated. At least when it does, it makes for a pleasant surprise.
September 10th, 2011 at 2:58 am
MAKE COMICS DAMN YOU! Ok I’m kidding, best of luck and there are some of us who keep checking periodically for those little gems of pure “lulz” that you provide. We know how it is to have a life that doesn’t revolve around refreshing one page on the internet in the hopes of something new coming up.
September 12th, 2011 at 8:00 am
Your comic is so weird and hilarious, I’m worried if I stop watching your comic, I’ll miss something I wish I had seen when it first arrived. I’m at least dedicated that far. As a part time cartoonist myself, I know how difficult it is to live episode to episode, as opposed to those guys who write their material MONTHS in advance.
September 17th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
“but when you post 3 comics a year and disappear for months at a time like me, and still have fans as dedicated as you guys?”
That’s because your comic is so f-ing good, you **!$%&! Don’t think so much about it, just make a new one already!!!111
September 18th, 2011 at 12:17 pm
I still <3 you, Bernie!
September 19th, 2011 at 12:40 am
Just be glad your fans are adults and not immature kids. I love the comic and your doing a great job.
September 20th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
To be honest, I think the main thing that keeps me coming as frequently as I do to look for new strips at this point is confirmation bias.
Maybe I should just RSS it and be done with it.
September 30th, 2011 at 10:22 am
It’s alright, we don’t have a life anyway. Joke, joke, bernieh, we love you for the laughs you have given us!
October 3rd, 2011 at 10:48 pm
Hey….maybe the secret is….they are makin a FILM!!! Aliens and predators…. wonder if they will get along……..?
October 9th, 2011 at 12:08 am
lawl i thought you died just sayin.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Love the site and what you do. Thank you so much, I wish you and yours well and look forward to the next update.
October 25th, 2011 at 9:44 am
its very nice post great job and thanks for sharing.
November 1st, 2011 at 4:45 am
I have loved your comic for YEARS, thank you again for drawing it. I’m looking forward to the next update, whenever you can get to it!
December 13th, 2011 at 1:18 am
If anything’s gonna get me professional help, I doubt it’ll be this
December 18th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
Dude, all I have to say is that your comics are gold and are worth the wait. Although I do sometimes question gow much of a loser I am for checking up every hour, it’s still worth the wait.
Idea: Swear to yourself that when timemachines are invented that you’ll go back to your hiatus self and give him/you every future AlP.
December 29th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
“comic related” hmm, well I think we can rule out syndication
January 24th, 2012 at 4:29 am
Welcome back and thank you for the crazy funny comics. I know what
you mean “advance planning” is tough. (is there any other type of
plannin?)
anyways thanks
February 16th, 2012 at 2:32 am
Just dropped by to see if the rss feed was broken or something.
Nope.
February 23rd, 2012 at 2:43 pm
Well if you can squeeze in just one AlP take on Linsanity, we all know it will come out Hillariously awesome.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Hey Bernie, dropping a line. Been a fan since the olden days back before Pres even got glasses, back when I used to check this site coming home from high school (so… old now… so… whyyy) and just wanted to say that, new updates or not, thanks for the good times, man. This comic used to make me kind of absurdly jealous I lived somewhere that wasn’t New York. (And now with a Cash Cab reference! I weep forever)
March 21st, 2012 at 8:07 am
Oh, come on! Please! I miss you…
April 11th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Still waiting and hoping. Abe and Preston Live! :) Thanks for all the laughs.
April 17th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
When are you coming back? I so want ALP back. I need it to crack me up.
April 19th, 2012 at 9:26 am
Guys, nothing more to see here. Move along.
June 15th, 2012 at 3:19 am
*Crickets*
July 13th, 2012 at 9:54 am
more crickets…
October 25th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
We can outwait you. We are your internets, and Time is ours to waste in infinite varieties for multiple eternities. You, however, are but one mortal with childs; your time is short. No pressure tho.
January 4th, 2013 at 9:27 pm
I still await the update. I don’t care if It comes next year, I still check back for updates. And Jeph is a cool dude! you turned me onto him.
April 14th, 2013 at 9:41 am
Even if you never updated again, you gave me a good bunch of laughs, and that’s enough for me to appreciate.
All the best in your endeavours, Bernie :)
May 5th, 2013 at 12:52 am
Man, I used to love this comic. Not really anything else out there that I’m aware of with its unique sense of humor. Looks like the creator has moved on to bigger and better things, though I’m not sure what. A glance at his twitter shows that it still links back to this site lol.
Bernie (can I call you Bernie?), if you’re ever coming out with some other project, let us know, you’re a funny dude.
August 12th, 2013 at 2:33 am
What they said! Love aLp, hope you’re well Bernie, let us know what you’re up to, etc and so on. Hope all’s good :)
December 15th, 2013 at 11:21 am
Thanks for proving me right.
March 2nd, 2014 at 1:04 pm
lol – hilarious!
STILL doing the “comic not dead updates once every 3 years” thing, jesus loser its been 6 years.. just give it up
October 20th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
I really enejoyd looking at all these cute comic strips, you’re very talented! Love it! I’m working on my own comic books called Fuzz Society, feel free to check them out and let me know what you think. Thanks!
October 27th, 2014 at 7:19 am
There was a time when I use to really enjoy your work but then all of a sudden, you took a LONG leap ( 6 years is big). Still hoping to hear something fantastic from you so that I can find your comics in this awesome list of top 100 web comics :) (I am sure it will happen)
