Just a note regarding the Patreon campaign. It’s suspended for the time being.
I have picked up some full-time work that will keep me going. It’s still there if you want to show your support, but I’ve made the perks free for the foreseeable future.
NEWS – 12/30/2015
Happy New Year! There are a few NEW episodes of CK ready to go. How long I can keep it going is up to you! Please consider adding your support to my Patreon!
You remember early on when CK went through the transportalizer and got discombobulated like a LEGO minifig? That’s happened again. Only now it’s…kinda their only hope of stopping this cockamamie scheme.
The part I’m not so clear on is the utility of sticking CK’s head on Zenith’s shoulders. Especially given Zenith’s PREVIOUS scheme was kinda foiled by the difficulty in getting organic and robotic components to, ahem, interface? (It would be a hilarious ironic twist if this brilliant plan doesn’t work on account of them forgetting that…)
@Ryusuy Wow, that was like… FIVE YEARS ago! I had to dig into the archives to find it. So, now one has to ask: can anybody going through a transporter in this universe get disassembled and reassembled like Lego — or is there something special about CK we didn’t know about?
I think the idea is supposed to be that the transportalizer hates him specifically and/or it’s an unreliable piece of junk. Further evidence for the latter is that it stuck CK’s tail on Fluffy somehow, AND beamed a nearby MOUSE unit into space when CK tried to get himself and Fluffy un-jumbled with a second trip.
…which CK got through unscathed, so. Unless the implication is that Mr. Socks somehow broke whatever fix he implemented when he got his brain drained by the transportalizer, your guess as to how any of this makes sense is as good as mine. (Again: how is this plan supposed to work when it was a BIG DEAL earlier on that meat and machines can’t interface directly?)
@Ryusuy Well, I’m not so sure that it’ll work either, but for different reasons. Before, the compatibility issue was due to the fact that her partner lacked the correct… ahem… “ports”. in this case, I am concerned that the synthetic may modify the organic to match the rest of the body; after all, it happened to Nin Wah’s clone, so why wouldn’t it happen here?
Also, there is the concern that the synthetic will outright refuse to mesh with the added organic systems, and unless there IS something special about CK, our spacer friend has approximately five minutes to find CK’s head if it was separated from his body. And even then, what assurances do we have that a completely synthetic body can provide sufficient life support for completely organic additions?
Oh, no wait, this is a universe where they put the prefix “space” in front of anything important.
Carry on, then…
^ I was told in another place that Scotty got himself a job in the animation industry (doing something somewhere for someone). CK is not cancelled, just postponed.
Guys, the Patreon wasn’t paying the bills so I had to find something that did. Now the bills are getting paid, but I have no time for CK. That’s the way it goes sometimes.
So if he’s going into animation and postponing this…
Do you think he’ll eventually reanimate this entire comic into a movie?!
It’ll surely make him a legend. ^^
Whoa. Do any of you other guys have a clue what’s going on here?

I laughed at this and I don’t know why
One of those cases when you don’t know what is going on, and waiting for the next panel to explain that.
I saw the “scoot scoot”…
I bet that after his disambugation he swapped heads with nin wah android and that was his body but without his head.
Paul Anka said it best – “Put your head on my shoulder(s)…”
This plan may be just brainless enough to work.
All this going on, and my only thought is, “That wasn’t part of his freaking face!?”
So… Could we say – Zenith is getting a facelift?
If the plan succeeds, CK will have boobs.
This concerns me greatly.
I’m not touching that one – D’oh!

Well, I bet whoever manages to take over Zenith’s body won’t be the one to carry the day.
No ending, huh?
Is there gonna be an update?

I really wish we could “like” or “+1” comments on here. +1 for @Camolot the Creator. 🙂
Gaaah! What is that HUMAN doing posting here!?! DELETE THAT LAST POST!!! xP
R.I.P. ending to CK.
^ I was told in another place that Scotty got himself a job in the animation industry (doing something somewhere for someone). CK is not cancelled, just postponed.
oooh thats great news for Scotty…. bad for the strip I suppose.
Guys, the Patreon wasn’t paying the bills so I had to find something that did. Now the bills are getting paid, but I have no time for CK. That’s the way it goes sometimes.
^ Hey, I can wait. I can wait for years. Just don’t abandon CK forever… please.
I know the animation business. I’ll stay tuned, maybe someday CK will return…
^ He WILL return, the Force wills it.
Also, thanks for the link, will keep an eye on your blog thing.

The old CK died when Scott’s computer went up in smoke.
… not to mention the new CK is literally perfect.
Spirits… How long until we FINALLY get an update?!
Love this comic. Still check on it every couple of months. Still hoping to one day see it finished and for sale.
That was the original plan: finish the comic silently without telling anyone, then release it for sale.
