Comic for Friday 4/1 (Early High Res)
About ten years ago, I made the very difficult decision to hit the reset button on my life's work. While I loved my job, I couldn't help but think that, given a decade of experience and a clean slate, I could do a lot of exciting things with these characters.
Fast forward to this morning at breakfast, and I realized I now have two decades of experience under my belt. Imagine the sort of things I could explore with a fresh slate now.
So I'm very excited to announce Ctrl+Alt+Del 3.0! The next chapter for these characters!
With this reboot, I will once again start fresh, throwing out all existing storylines for a new perspective to approach these characters from. In 3.0, we will see our main character, Ethan, a video-game-playing ghost hunter, tackling supernatural mysteries alongside his sarcastic and spectral sidekick, Lucas!
"A ghost hunter whose best friend is a ghost?! That's crazy!" I hear you saying.
It is! And it will add quite the twist on this friendship you thought you knew! As they attempt to unravel the mysteries of the unknown, as well as solve the cold case of Lucas' murder, they will encounter a wide variety of characters, some familiar, some brand new.
I'm really excited to take this journey with you guys, and I hope you're looking forward to the fresh start as much as I am!

Very close to heart attack, here. Boooo! Lol
Not gunna lie I’d totally read this as a side project has potential.
You got me! I came here to write "But what about Zeke?! Where is he, what's going to happen next?! You can't Firefly me like this!". I'm so relieved it's an April Fool's joke ;-)
I would still read it :)
Still would be an interesting arch though ^_^!
4/1 but that's just mean! hahaha! love it :D
sigh... I certainly hope thats an april fools joke
Yeah I saw this and went… wait a minute. It’s April tomorro… OOOOHHHH!!!
You sir have managed to get me with this. Well played, very well played. *slow clap*
April Fools or not, I'd love to see this make an occasional appearance in the one-shots or something. Or maybe just a fun random thing to replace the old Chef Brian silliness.
I almost fell for it! Well played 😂 (and by the way, already 10 years? 😱)
I know this is an April Fools thing...but I almost hope he does it...sounds pretty cool.
I feel some alternate reality comics coming in the future. We will also learn that the Chef is really like the watcher.
I feel like Patreon doesn't understand April Fools timing 😄
You had me. Man I'd hate to see this happen. I am not ready to give A&D-pad up any time soon. Thanks Tim
Almost had me…
Well, #$%^ me, I was all, "WHAT!?" But, I am barely containing my anticipation for what happens in the current arc and NOW. THIS!? Oh no! I actually thought, "This is not April Fool's, right, that's tomorrow, right?" Then I read the title again. Well, done, sir, Well done indeed!
Sigh, I thought April fools was over with
*slow clap* Well played sir, well played!
You #%**, you got me. I had a couple comics do a 2.0 that changed them so much I quit them and a couple more that ended too abruptly with a lot of loose ends because the artist burnt out on the story. So your reasons fooled me.
You almost had me.
I thought I had a whole day before I had to stay off the internet. I know it will never happen, but I hope April Fools Day goes extinct.
Great 4/1 joke! You had me for just a minute.
Man, I didn't notice it had been 10 years already! In 2.0, due to the other stories you are doing (players and Starcaster), the pacing is much slower now. 10 years in and just now getting to good Zeke stuff, Ethan and Lilah not together (if they will be), etc. What are your thoughts about taking longer to tell 2.0? Is it better? Did you like the ability to tell more in a shorter space in 1.0?
I'm like 95% sure this is an April Fools, and I definitely don't want to abandon the 2.0 continuity, but... I dunno, I'm kinda into this! Imagine Lucas, able to sigh and facepalm at Ethan's shenanigans, but unable to physically interfere. Until his ghostly powers grow, that is. Eventually he might even grow to the point of being able to possess Ethan during times of great need (re: times of great stupidity). So much ground this could cover!
😝 One of the anti perks of Patreon Early Access. 😅 Great timing, given where you JUST LEFT the current story arc!
I figured I may not get anyone tomorrow, but I can at least get a few of you today ;)
Love this. Clever as hell to use the early update to lead us into a false sense of security.
an early april fools?
panicked for a moment before I saw tomorrows' date. Well played asshole.
