Today's page will go up tomorrow (March 9). Follow me on Twitter for more info. Also, I'll be drawing live for most of today. Come on into the chat room and say hi or ask me stuff. Remember though, being logged into Ustream does not always log you into Ustream's chat room. If you're not logged in at the chat room, type - /nick <your name> - and that should set you up. Note: I have nothing to do with Ustream's ads. I agree that they're intrusive and annoying. I do not get paid for them. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Okay, I know, I know. The forum died and so you were forced to create a new account in the temporary forum and now you're being forced once again to create ANOTHER account. It sucks. I hear ya. But this is really your last move. The new forum is backed up like crazy, so we won't lose anything and it's being customised by Duke_Igthorn and See_A_Moose who are making it look awesome. Right now, you'll find it looks pretty blue and generic, but if you go to the User Control Panel > Board Preferences > My Board Style >Weapons And Adventures1, you'll see the spiffy version that will soon be the default look of the forum once it's completely finished. You can get to the new forum from the menu or you can click here. Once again, I'm really sorry for this annoying inconvenience, but we're done with the forum changes. Really. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Danielle and I want a baby (or two). We have two sons (who are AWESOME) from a previous relationship I had many years ago, but none that are biologically made up of the two of us. Just for the fun of it, we started this Twitter account. It's a daily record of whether or not we're pregnant. And of course, here's my regular Twitter account. As for today's update, I spent yesterday dealing with a yucky migraine (I'm often whining like a sucky baby about them) so I got almost no work done. I'm feeling 90% better today and I'm trying to catch up. It is my hope that the page will go live tonight sometime. Want to keep me company while I draw? I'll have the live camera on while I'm drawing for a lot of today. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Let's talk about oblivion holes. This blog won't contain any Goblins spoilers, but some of the o-hole facts here will be repeated by characters in future dialogue. I'll let you decide if you want to keep reading. Oblivion holes aren't 'true oblivion'. As stated on previous comic pages, true oblivion can't exist if anyone is aware of it. Of course, awareness isn't the only thing that can dispel oblivion, but it's effective. Oblivion is the complete lack of existence geographically, conceptually and even chronologically (which is the greatest argument I've come across for 'existence' after death, but that's another discussion). Oblivion can't have boundaries. if it has a boundary, it's contained. If it's contained, it exists. If it exists in some fashion, it's not a complete void. So the oblivion holes that are scattered throughout the Maze of Many can't truly be oblivion. They're sort of... oblivion light. Think about this... Minmax threw his pants into the o-hole. This means the pants never existed, so he'd be in his underwear, right? Wrong. Those pants were bought in Brassmoon City. If they truly never existed, then Forgath (who was forcing Minmax to buy pants) would have still walked into the shop and just grabbed a different pair of pants. Just because that one pair of pants never existed, doesn't mean that all pants in Brassmoon disappear. So if those pants never existed, another pair of pants should have appeared on Minmax as soon as he threw his pants into the o-hole. So why was Minmax pantsless? misplacedpants Since the o-holes aren't true oblivion (being contained in neat, little holes and gawked at by conscious beings, etc.), they don't truly erase anything from existence. What they actually do, is scrub whatever they swallow off the surface of existence. It's similar to that time you spilled a drink on your carpet and had to clean it up. You scrubbed and scrubbed until it all disappeared. Once that wet spot dried, the mess was gone, as though the spill never happened! But if someone were to pull up that carpet and closely examine the parts deeper down, they'd find remnants of spilled Yo-Ho or Pepsi or whatever the hell you were drinking. Minmax's pants were erased from the surface of existence, but all of those deeper 'cause and effect' equations were left alone. So if you were to throw your own Mother into an o-hole (you'd be a cold-hearted monster), you'd still exist, you'd just never have had a Mother. Still confused? Here's another example... 2 + 2 = 4  We can all agree on that, right? Now if you threw the second 2 in that equation into 'true' oblivion, you'd get this... 2 + _ = 2   The second 2 never existed and so the sum is correctly changed. But if you were to throw that second 2 into an o-hole, you'd get this... 2 + _ = 4   See? That 2 is merely scrubbed from the surface of existence and everything else is left alone, even though it doesn't add up. Just like Minmax's pants. If the o-holes were true oblivion, then the psionic Minmax, who's only goal is to completely erase himself from existence, would just jump into one instead of continuing to work on erasing the entire Maze of Many. So there you have it. It's just a fictional set of varying degrees of non-existence. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Until the main Goblins forum is returned to working order, a couple Goblinites have been nice enough to create a temporary forum for us. You can either get to it through the menu above or by clicking here. I know, I know... it's not the home we Goblinites are used to, but we'll get that back soon. Thanks for your patience and of course... As always, thanks for reading. PS~ Following me on Twitter is a great way to be kept up to date on what's going on with the site. ~Thunt

Right now, Goblins (and in fact, all Blind Ferret comics) are in a state of repair, due to a technical hiccup. Things are almost back to normal but right now, all the recent Goblins pages are missing from the site. They'll return very soon though. The forum is still down too, but it'll be back soon as well. Thanks so much for your patience, everyone! To be kept up to date on this matter (as well as how often I annoy my wife with low brow trolling), follow me on Twitter. As always, thanks for reading. ~Thunt

Random thought. Imagine that a strange phenomenon spread across all the world. This phenomenon caused everyone who didn't hug someone at least once a day to mysteriously die. There would be some who would hug others while arguing that it was clearly an act of God. This would be okay. There would be some who would hug others while claiming that it was a result of science and that there was no God. This would also be okay. There would be some who would deny others the right to hug because they disagree with their views. This would not be okay. Keep debating. Keep hugging. ~Thunt
