The second paragraph seems a bit non-NPOV, should it be changed? --Micpp 12:23, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Um, I'd say the character descriptions need to be re-written. ... Does anyone one actually reads the comic seriously believe that the real life person that Tony is based on has a Battlemech or cloning machine? Maybe if the person was dropped on their head as a child, repeatedly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.240.191.134 (talk) 03:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The whole thing seems like a silly vanity entry. Is it really appropriate?

Yes it is. It has quite a few fans as far as webcomics go. I would say that Real Life deserves a place here as much as Megatokyo (which has a very extensive entry). Druminor 04:22, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If you remove Real Life's entry, then you might aswell remove the entire webcomic category.--Kross 10:30, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Genre

Added 'Reality' as the Genre, felt it was a propro. --CaveatLector 06:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The categories now read "Science fiction webcomics | Reality webcomics" at the end... Something there just feels somehow wrong, and yet... — Xenoveritas 22:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned Web comic

This Web comic is no longer updating it's comics. Last comic was posted on December 10th 2015. The last article Greg Dean posted to his the comic front page was April 3rd 2015. The only posts to the site are on the fan forums, which are few. The social media outlets for the comic are also not responding, and cannot be reached by email either. The comic is abandoned and should be labeled as abandoned. If you have proof against my adition of the Abandoned title to it please discuss. Or change it to abandoned, I can provide more exidence of its abandonment. I ask you to show me the evidence that it is not abandoned. ShallowGun (talk) 21:18, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So far as I see we have no evidence that the artist has abandoned the comic, nor any evidence that he's coming back to it. Simply saying that "As of May 2016, the webcomic had not been updated since December 2015." and letting the reader draw their own conclusion seems the most accurate way to go here. If you've got positive evidence for the comic having been abandoned, though, by all means share that with us. --McGeddon (talk) 22:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cab provide more. On December 11th 2015 was his last Facebook post and on December 21st 2015 were his last twitter post also. Those were his last posts before he abandoned his social media accounts. Two more pieces as evidenced to you. There is more evidence of his abandonment of the comic then he is coming back, which there is none. Also saying that it hasn't been updated yet eludes that the comic is still on going, or is still ongoing in some way.

Please explain from the way that you see it that it cannot be labeled as such. Also provide evidence as I have submitted. Not because it's how you see it. ShallowGun (talk) 23:41, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reading the article again, I've cut "currently published on an irregular schedule" as there's no evidence of that. We can't say "abandoned, definitely finished, no more comics ever, nope", though, just because you think it seems like it. Achewood came back after a longer period of total radio silence. --McGeddon (talk) 09:28, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

White Ninja Comics went through a period of "radio silence", "definitely finished", "no more comics". I think you are taking things personal. Having the article locked, and deleting sections of it as well. You seem like your abusing your editing a little. You took out some useful information for people. I'm just trying to put it to something more truthful at the moment and not changing big parts of it. Please stop abusing and unlock. Wiki is for more then just one person to edit and change to make its accuracy better. I've also tried to engage you with facts and evidence. You need to change what you deleted and censored back. Thank you.

Nothing personal here, I've never read the comic. --McGeddon (talk) 17:20, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As per the most recent edit, the comics appears to have returned as of 10 September 2018. Or, at least two new strips have been posted. --tronvillain (talk) 18:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
