Full Frontal Nerdity Has a “New” Home

by on

Back in early March, one of my favorite webcomics, “Full Frontal Nerdity,” mysteriously stopped updating for some reason. In mid-storyline, the last comic seen was the one you see above. I didn’t understand it, but kept checking back each week in the hopes that the strip had not simply ended, but maybe something came up. After finally deciding to look around for an answer today, I learned that something did indeed.

One commenter on a strip noted that “If I am remembering right he told me he was stuck not being able to update the site and that is why we rushed moving everything over to the new hosting.” So, GameSpy locked him out without warning, it seems. That cannot have helped his traffic.

Since I am fond of the strip and would like to help spread the word, I just wanted to let you know that it can now be found at its “new” (I think they’ve been there a few months, so the term is relative) home here. And if you’re into nerdy things– tabletop role playing games, especially– then I encourage you to check it out.

On that note, I leave you with one of my favorite strips I’ve come across so far in catching up, placed below for the sake of spoilers (for those who might follow it), taking place later in the same story arc as the strip at the top of this post.
