Shit Happens 3:104 - Why So Serious?

2009-06-29T05:02:23Z

Why So Serious?, the latest strip, is now up at the site. Vince gets more character development in this single strip than he has in the past five years. Also, you took his jacket, and he looked for it. For. Two. Weeks.

Shit Happens 3:103 - Ginger Was A Friend Of Mine

2009-06-20T02:34:21Z

Ginger Was a Friend of Mine, the latest strip, is now up at the site.

Shit Happens 3:102 - ACTUAL TITLE TOO LONG TO FIT IN THE SUBJECT LINE SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS

2009-06-11T01:40:48Z

DOOMY DOOM OF DOOM CAUSED BY ASYLUM SEEKER WHO TOOK A JOB IN THE NHS FROM BRITISH PEOPLE AND VOTED FOR LABOUR, I CAN EXCLUSIVELY REVEAL is now up at the site. It's huge! Get your reading glasses on, peeps -- this is wordy as hell (you'll see what I mean) but Mary really went to town making this one funny. Enjoy!

Shit Happens 3:101 - Okra, the Twilight series, and Jacqui Smith

2009-06-06T16:01:01Z

Okra, the Twilight series, and Jacqui Smith is now up at the site. No word on Paul Merton's decisions, but as soon as we hear back, we'll let you know.
This is also possibly the only time the real world has intervened and made the strip look outdated as it goes to press. Fortunately, it's previously been established that this storyline is taking place at least a couple of months in the past.

Shit Happens 3:99/3:100 - 99 Problems

2009-06-01T03:15:34Z

99 Problems, part one and two, is now up at the site. Yet again, be sure to keep scrolling after that first page -- there's a second one beneath it! Keep an eye out for a couple of cameos from people you might recognise from Internet! Plus: Edgware Road tube station!

Shit Happens 3:97 & 3:98 - Yours Truly, the Angry Mob

2009-05-24T05:07:59Z

Yours Truly, the Angry Mob is now up at the site. This time there really is an angry mob! And boy, are they ever angry. Be sure to keep scrolling after the first page -- this is a two-pager, and you won't want to miss page two! I can probably say with a good degree of confidence you haven't seen anything in webcomics quite like that which Mary wrote for today's strip.

Shit Happens 3:96 - The Angry Mob

2009-05-20T02:21:45Z

The Angry Mob is the title of the latest strip. There's no actual angry mob herein, but one is mentioned, similar to how one has been implied and foreshadowed through the last month but no-one really noticed.

Shit Happens 3:95 - When The Man Comes Around

2009-05-13T03:06:24Z

When The Man Comes Around is probably the best title any of these strips have had all year. It's actually pretty close to genius because of that oh-so intellectual way that it works on LEVELS. Oh, sure, it's no DRAG ME TO HELL, but it's a great title.
Also, GIANT APES. Remember when I promised a bunch of shit that didn't happen like two strips ago, like Megan Fox naked and car chases and gunfights? Well this time I 100% promise you that this comic includes GIANT APES.

Shit Happens 3:94 - Hope for the Hopeless, part seven

2009-05-06T23:36:05Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part seven, is now up on the site. Insert witty comments here to act as a space-filler to catch your eye and make you stop scrolling so damn fast!

Shit Happens 3:93 - Hope for the Hopeless, part six

2009-05-02T23:26:22Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part six, is now up on the site. This installment contains mature themes, sexual content, bad language, extreme ultraviolence, Megan Fox's tits, a Smart Car chase, gratuitous consumption of Smarties, cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA.

Shit Happens 3:92 - Hope for the Hopeless, part five

2009-04-27T22:28:07Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part five, is now up on the site. Mary and I have now made as many comics in the first four months of this year as we did in the first six months of 2007, or the first eight months of 2008.

Shit Happens 3:91 - Hope for the Hopeless, part four

2009-04-24T01:49:34Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part four, is now up on the site. Any disruption to regular service that you may have noticed earlier in the week was out of our control. The offended person has been subdued with a bag of corn chips the size of his head and a Cheech and Chong boxed set.

Shit Happens 3:90 - Hope for the Hopeless, part three

2009-04-19T05:13:16Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part three, is now up on the site. Be it alive or be it dead, I'll grind its bones to make my bread.

(n.b. powdered bones are an unsuitable substitute for flour as they lack many of the qualities that make flour suitable for the manufacture of baked goods.)

Shit Happens 3:89 - Hope for the Hopeless, part two

2009-04-15T05:22:05Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part two, now exists. Can we make such a definitive affirmative statement when it comes to the issue of whether or not a thing, particularly a page of a comic-strip narrative half-created on paper and half in the digital realm of the computer, truly can be said to 'EXIST'?

Yes. We fucking can, because Mary wrote the script about a month ago and I've been working on the art for it non-stop for the last four days. Not including the time out to eat, sleep, go to work, watch House and drink cups of tea.

Shit Happens 3:88 - Hope for the Hopeless, part one

2009-04-10T05:05:46Z

Hope for the Hopeless, part one, is now stripping for your pleasure. Or, at least, is the new strip. Which we both hope you enjoy.

Shit Happens 3:87 - I'm Gonna Be

2009-04-05T04:59:47Z

I'm Gonna Be is the title of the newest strip.
In case you're wondering, if Mary hasn't made up a title for the strip (because really, why do the individual strips have names? That's dumb. Individual episodes of EastEnders or Corrie don't have names) during her writing of the script, I put my Zune on shuffle and skip forward until I find a song with an appropriate title.

Mary also often uses song titles when she makes up titles, though, so not ALL the song title strips are songs I personally have on my mp3 player. This one, however, is.

Shit Happens 3:86 - Stratford-On-Guy

2009-03-26T01:18:47Z

Stratford-On-Guy is the title of the newest strip.
It took an hour, maybe a day. Maybe nine. Who can say?

Shit Happens 3:85 - Further Away

2009-03-18T04:53:34Z

Further Away I get from you, the harder it gets for everyone else.
The happier I am when I'm with you, the harder it gets when I am alone.

Shit Happens 3:84 - Kali and Holly's Peestick Parade

2009-03-12T03:48:21Z

Kali and Holly's Peestick Parade is a-marchin' on down the street. March on, young peestick! For glory! For honour! For great justice!

Shit Happens 3:83 - Tea For Two

2009-03-08T01:14:06Z

Tea For Two sounds like a really good idea. I'll take milk and two sugars, please mate.

Shit Happens 3:82 - Kids Aren't Alright

2009-03-02T13:59:31Z

Kids Aren't Alright, the new strip, is now up at the site. It follows on from the last one, so if you haven't read that yet you probably should. Though if you just read random pages without context, this comic probably doesn't make much sense at all, a bit like throwing a copy of 'Twilight' through a wood-chipper and then reading the resultant forty-foot spray of shredded paper. It actually improves the grammar. (That's why the wood-chipper has 'editor' written on the side.)

Shit Happens 3:81 - He Don't Appreciate The Excess Company

2009-02-26T01:16:34Z

He Don't Appreciate The Excess Company is the name of the new strip. It's a couple of days late because I drew the same shop five times. That's more times than I've been to real shops since I started drawing this page!

Shit Happens 3:80 - Future Baby Mama

2009-02-20T22:03:47Z

Future Baby Mama is a song by Prince from his album Planet Earth. It's ALSO the name of the new strip. Like how that works out?

Shit Happens 3:79 - The Halifax Always Wins

2009-02-17T05:40:08Z

The Halifax Always Wins, the new strip, is now up. Warning: contains superawesome amounts of gradients and other cool colouring that makes it look like a competent professional worked on it. All that, plus furthering the narrative AND a couple of cameos from the not-so-famous? How do you manage to contain yourselves between updates, dear readers? HOW?

Shit Happens 3:78 - Unfinished Sympathy

2009-02-14T19:23:44Z

Unfinished Sympathy is the name of the new strip. Photoshop has greatly offended me by removing my scan lines on the TV sets in order to make the image size smaller, and after I was all ready to blame the 'save for web' function for it as well. Boo-urns.
