The 5th Street Diner; talk about "up all night for no good reason".
The diner is a place where the passage of time seems random. You look at your watch, and 5 minutes have passed, the next time, 5 hours.
I will say this though, the "everything fried" platter is to die for... if it doesn't kill you.

You DO know that [REDACTED] found [REDACTED] 5th Street Diner. That's why you [REDACTED] time, and it's really [REDACTED].

...some MiBs may have gotten to my report here...

Aw, I'd read his blog.

Professor Etheric 13th Dec 2015, 11:17 PM edit delete reply

It's one of those things. If/when it takes off, it'll be huge. Until then, though...

SarahSophia 13th Dec 2015, 11:18 PM edit delete reply

If/then someone is going to have to keep the shroud from carting him off to who-knows-where.

Professor Etheric 13th Dec 2015, 11:23 PM edit delete reply

Soph! Ix-nay on the oud-Shray!!!!!

(You see what they did to my post up there...)

Seabiscuit 13th Dec 2015, 11:43 PM edit delete reply

Awww...I'd read it, too! I bet it'd be interesting.:D I wonder if anyone actually would go hunt down Benny. Maybe if it went viral...Heh~

Professor Etheric 13th Dec 2015, 11:45 PM edit delete reply

"LEAVE BENNY ALONE!"

Heh...

Well, there's TWO readers. He just doubled his readership!

lirvilas 14th Dec 2015, 1:34 AM edit delete reply

I'll bet Benny is a lot harder to hunt down than anyone would assume... I wouldn't want to do it, not even with a bag full of flashbangs.

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 2:12 AM edit delete reply

Aw, what's to be nervous about, lirv? It's not like there's a tell-tale sparkly glow in his vicinity... :P

lirvilas 14th Dec 2015, 2:48 AM edit delete reply

He's a Vietnam combat vet? Maybe a former tunnel rat? Yeah, the sparklies are frosting on that cake-o-pain.

Professor Etheric 21st Aug 2016, 1:49 PM edit delete reply

I cant believe I never responded to this one. Confirmed on the tunnel rat. That may or may not have been responsible for his current condition (finding the wrong thing in a tunnel Over There - or was it the right thing?)

lirvilas 21st Aug 2016, 3:41 PM edit delete reply

Looks like I wasn't the only one digging through archives last night.

Tunnel fighting--that's probably the most nightmarish duty I could imagine, BTW.

Ah, the ambition of a blogger who wants to make the best work he can, yet has a woefully small readership. Soldier on, fella!

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:41 AM edit delete reply

We creators, I think, feel his pain... :)

Call Me Tom 14th Dec 2015, 3:31 AM edit delete reply

I feel the need to draw something to answer that last question....

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:42 AM edit delete reply

Oooohhhhh... I'd like to see what you draw!

Matt Knab 14th Dec 2015, 4:33 AM edit delete reply

Do the people sitting at this table count? ;)

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:42 AM edit delete reply

Well, they ARE readers...

ZeroGee 14th Dec 2015, 7:53 AM edit delete reply

A few are reading. :3

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:44 AM edit delete reply

You know how it is. When you're getting something like that going (a blog or, I don't know, a webcomic), you know acutely the sting of "I want/need/crave more readers. Why isn't EVERYONE reading?"

Stever 14th Dec 2015, 9:43 AM edit delete reply

Mmmm. Onion Rings. or small doughnuts. Either way. Mmmm.

I think leaving Benny out is a good idea. There'd be somebody investigating if they knew there were people living down there.

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:46 AM edit delete reply

They're onion rings. But now I want small donuts...

Leaving Benny out really IS the smart thing... there are multiple reasons why.

DoryH 14th Dec 2015, 10:54 AM edit delete reply

I have the feeling his blog may have more readers than he thinks. Well... at least one more.

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:58 AM edit delete reply

What do you mean? He has Google analytics!

:)

It sounds like a lot of you would read his blog...

Delta-v 14th Dec 2015, 3:49 PM edit delete reply

Read it? Heck, I'd COMMENT on it! ^^

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 4:19 PM edit delete reply

He'd appreciate it, too!

Audacity 14th Dec 2015, 9:48 PM edit delete reply

I can only imagine what sort of random things he's found to blog about in Autumn Bay when we're not looking. After all, the city is deeply layered.

Professor Etheric 14th Dec 2015, 10:09 PM edit delete reply

Aint it just? :)

Audacity 15th Dec 2015, 9:01 PM edit delete reply

Like a parfait with graffiti! XD

Taily 26th Dec 2015, 12:36 PM edit delete reply

Ooh yes, a retro-esque diner! NOW we're talking! This is my natural environment!

(also I hate to be the one to point this out, but there's "definiftely" a typo in the first panel)

Professor Etheric 26th Dec 2015, 1:23 PM edit delete reply

Wow... I'm kind surprised it got this far. Good catch!

And I have mentioned this in other comments, but Autumn Bay has a strong sense of nostalgia. There are a lot of trends that never really died there, if you know where to look.

lol that's my response when people find out i make webcomics. "i mean... SOME people read it xD" nice job, prof! sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to this, but given the structure of your story i wanted to wait until there was a bit more to read at once. take it all in as it were. i'll be finishing it tomorrow xD i rather like it so far, man. good job :3

Professor Etheric 16th Mar 2016, 1:06 AM edit delete reply

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it, Fig. That means a lot, given the level you've been operating at.

Take your time, man. We'll be here!

Fig 16th Mar 2016, 1:30 AM edit delete reply

wow, prof. thanks; i needed that. and i really do mean it - autumn bay is good fun to read.

hopefully i don't take too long - i'll forget things xD

AmeliaP 20th Nov 2017, 8:53 AM edit delete reply

No! They forgot to record the urban exploration and upload it on YouTube!

Professor Etheric 20th Nov 2017, 11:32 AM edit delete reply

They really should start doing that... :)
