Freefall is a science fiction webcomic that has been updating thrice-weekly since 1998. Yesterday, it finally reached a satisfying conclusion... to its first chapter.
Oh hey, I used to read this. I forgot all about it. Thanks!

> Previously, well previously if a decade ago counts.
Boy, the world of 2006 really did not like this comic! On the other hand, as tittergrrl said back then: "But in the future it will be HUGE!"

So my question is: will it take more real world time to read this than has passed in the comic strip?

Mr. Encyclopedia: It's actually about one to one, if I remember right. Two weeks or so have passed in-comic, and if you're reading an hour or two a day you can easily hit that amount.

God, I just checked back on that, nothing has changed. I've had major life events and its been 16 years and that comic still hasn't progressed at. all.
Piro is officially worse the Berserk's Miura. At least it only took ten years for those characters to get off the damn boat.
