TG goes out with a bang.
As promised, I’ve now posted a major announcement about the next comic, including a firm premiere date. But we’re not quite done with TG! Next week on this site I’ll be posting a lot of cool extras, including background info and history, sketches, and even a new comic (using refurbished art) from a script I never got to use. Check back on update days!
Guys, it’s been a blast. My pride in completing Treading Ground is tempered with the customary dose of sadness, but I’m super excited about my upcoming projects, and I think you will be too. TG may be ending, but we’re beginning an even bigger adventure, and I hope you’ll be right there with me.
FIRST
AND POOP SHALL FOREVER BE FIRST!!!!!
I am pretty sure poop is #2. lol
Ziiiing!
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! I WAS FOOUURRTTHHH!! congratulations POOP
BTW, since when do any of these people own a minivan? ;)
It’s Rose’s Mom’s. And I’m sure you can think of a few reasons she’s not currently driving it.
That’s the biggest flippin’ minivan I’ve ever seen — it looks like the interior of a school bus in there.
giggity
Really? It was a minivan? I though that Beth and Steve were sitting in the boot of Nate’s car or something.
Also, loved the comic while it lasted. I red through the whole thing last night for a final hurrah. Look forward to the new comic.
Congrats on getting first. You shall live on forever as the one true first.
FOR THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!
so do we decapitate him now to gain his power?
Yes!
remember, the native americans ATE their enemies to gain their power…
Well, actually, this’d make him The Last First, wouldn’t it?
yeah. I was really really hoping that the first comment on this would be “last”. oh well.
ALL HAIL,THE GREAT MIGHTY POO!
Lose!
Well, of all the people here so far, only 2 of us were right :P
first!
FIRST!!!!!!!!!
First…for the Last time.
Hey it went out in a bang like I asked… Thank you.
Finger bang bang bang you every night.
Tell your brother Brian to learn how to write.
first on last!
FUCK!
Son of a Bitch, I missed! Great ending though!
Hello. ^_^
FIRST
FIRST
NSFW! Yay!
Should it be? You don’t want your boss reading this over your shoulder, but all the action is safely tucked away in the third row seating.
Nick, give us another #106! Pwetty pleeze. Thank you for the awesome comic, enjoyed it helluva lot. I’m looking forward to seeing your next project!
Yay Third Row!!!!
Dunno what it is about the third, but that is always where the action is. I can’t tell you how many coitus’s I have interruptus’ed in a third row clinch back in Rocky Horror days…. Some people thing the back row of the theater is where all the pervs hang out (bless you) …but the third is where it’s at.
Thing? Freudian slip?
I am forever cursed with typo’s, and never go back to fix them. When I first started posting online, I was using a 300 baud acoustic coupler. it was so slow you had to wait for each individual character to show up on the screen before starting the next sequence. There simply was no going back to correct typos, and spellcheck had not yet been perfected. Old habits die hard
mmm first?
Nope. But it was close!
NOT FIRST!
Anyway, sad to see this comic go.
Saddnessss, I am sorry to see it end. I love the story and will miss my MWF fix.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. its such a happy ending.
FIRST!
it would be kind of epic if all comments on this last comic’s entry is “FIRST!
so nick, how we gonna get the news for the next project?
Check for a new blog post later today! I’ll also announce on Facebook and Twitter.
TG goes out with a fingerbang.
I am saddened, yet looking forward to seeing what is to come.
The ending really didn’t disappoint. Lemme say I’ve enjoyed this comic for a long time now, and it’s really upsetting to see it go. I came for the boobies, and stayed for the storyline :D
[hahahahaha came]
Anyway, you’ve got another follower on twitter. I can’t wait to see what you create next. Good luck with whatever you do. :)
hehe……. boobies
Thanks for everything Nick. I’m not embellishing when I say this was my favorite webcomic. I loved seeing the story and art progress into what it is today. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to during the week. This was a good run and I’ll be right there reading whatever comes next guaranteed.
Till then, stay golden.
Bang.
I second that Minty! Thanks Nick for giving us something to look forward to during the week and the great stories.
It’s been a great ride Nick.
I look forward to your next project. *Gives you a thumbs up*
I was just going to tweet at you, but fuck it, I want more than 160 chars.
I discovered TG fairly late I believe, but since I loved it the moment I started reading.
Thanks for spending the time putting it all together. Awesome story, and such a damn fitting ending. A squillion IntarwebPointz for you.
Keep up the fine, can’t wait to see the new project when it happens.
*sniff* I love you man. And your fingerbangin’ sensibilities.
It’s been an amazing run. Thanks for sharing TG with us Nick! Eager to see what your next project’s gonna be.
Although I hate to see it go, you definitely ended it on the right note. Thanks for all your work over the years. This was only one of two web comics over the years that kept me checking for the latest strip every MWF at midnight
So wait, did Nate and Rose fuck yet? As that is what I got from the saying ‘that was fast, even for a quickie’
I’m guessing they’ve been fucking on a regular basis for some time now.
Mwahahahaha! It appears as though my chances at conquering the site were in vain. Now that it’s over, so too is my quest for comment-based domination. But no matter, for wherever goody-two-shoes race-based heroes are afoot, whenever trolling needs to take a surprisingly villianous turn, NotTheNegroGuy will be there!!!!! Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*descends into the mist, never to be heard from again*
Who was that pigmented man?
Two in the pink, two in your mom.
Oi! We’ll have none of that! the sign says EXIT ONLY!!!!
I’ll be watching, this was an important comic strip to me.
If you ever want any art trades or guests strips, I’ll be up for those too.
I want a gut-wrenching TG video montage, goddammit. http://youtu.be/CXYyXJa8rA4
Funny, I was just going through touching points in the story to the music of Journey.
I did a video montage to “Faithfully” for this year’s Prom!
WHERE IS THENEGROGUY?!?! His opinion on this must be enshrined FOREVER!
The only good thing here is the end of the first war.
The comic though, was great.
Will the Firsters rise again at the new comic site? Only time will tell…
Excellent run Nick. It’s sad to see TG end, but can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon. It was great seeing not only the story and characters progress, but also the evolution of artwork.
Congrats man. Good luck with the new project, and I’ll be watching for it for sure.
Are you currently doing commissions?
Commissions are something I’ve never really gotten into. Never say never, but right now 100% of my art time is spent either making comics or graphics for That SciFi Guy.
darn it :( Well let me know if you do decide to do that.
…yeah, yeah that’s about as perfect an ending as it was ever going to get.
Thanks for the many years of entertainment.
A nice trip with TG!! I really enjoyed jajaja
kinda sad to see miranda get the shaft..she just sort of ran off screen and that’s the last we see of her.
She deserved it, what with her just-wanna-hang-out-I’m-so-laid-back pretenses, and her we-went-out-once-so-you-belong-to-me psychosis.
Well a good run it certainly was. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the comic and would enjoy the new project once it is finished. Can’t wait and best of luck.
I’m broke, bitch!
What a wonderful shirt.
ha i get it. it went out on a bang alright….a fingerbang that is. hahahaha you clever sunovabitch you
YES.
It’s sad to see a good thing come to an end. But, hey. I prefer it end on a good note. And you know, if you read the whole thing from start to finish, it’s like a perverted, comical coming of age movie in storyboard format. I like that.
This was an awesome comic. I loved it. And I look forward to whatever you come out with next. ^.^
Thank you Mr. Wright. This was an engrossing strip while it lasted and while I do think you had a strong enough ensemble cast to keep things going I’m content with the gratuitous amount of naked Tracy the last few months. Looking forward to the next strip.
Wow after a year of reading its over, i really hope you segway off of this comic into something greater, but its gonna be hard to be better than this.
Loved every strip!
Wait… this is the last comic… Where the hell is TheNegroGuy!?!
Thanks for all years of laughs, Nick. (yes, years, because I start reading before the hiatus)
SIXTY-FIFTH!!!! =P lol i loved this comic, and this ending is wonderful!! a few loose endings, but the big ones are covered here ^.^ so many other characters needing an ending still though….
After reading this comic for several months, maybe over a year, I’ve got to say, very nice job with your grand finale Nick. It’s been very fun to read this comic every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
I am glad this series ended on a comedic note and it ended very nicely, with of course one last hilarious line. I started reading this comic while I was reading another comic and I am so glad I checked out this comic that day.
Well Nick, thank you for all your hard work and the great times, it was funny, it was dramatic, but above all, was a fantastic comic.
Well, now you have officially one-upped Josh Philips. :p
I dunno, the whole ending felt sort of… rushed, I guess? I mean, I suppose you sort of tied off the loose ends, but everything ended so abruptly! It’s like, dramadramadrama – RESOLVEDEND. I kinda want there to be a season 2. Lord knows their could be,
personally i disagree with this, did the drama end abruptly, yea, but i’ve had to go through so much general bullsht with my friends and it kinda ends up like that. everything seems like there is so much more to deal with and it just kinda…drops. is it perfect? no, but it’s real enough.
– my five cents.
……what does that exchange into in rupees……. (sorry, playing zelda all 3 days in a row now)
Approximately 2.2 Rupees. Of course, those are Indian Rupees and not Hylian. And yeah, I get what you’re saying – everyone’s had to deal with friend drama, and it usually does end this way, but as a writer, story conflict ending so quickly is usually a bad thing. That’s why there’s usually at least a chapter and a half – sometimes two whole chapters – at the end of a story that winds everything up. That’s all I’m saying on the subject, though.
Hello,first comment here. Probably last too though. I am fairly new reader, I started when the beach party has started and I have read entire comic all in once and I loved it. I love that you chose to finish the story instead of dragging it indefinitely.
I would like to know will in your next comic some of TG’s cast be returning (I am hoping for my favorite character Arne). It would be nice to see a familiar face,something that links the comics,if its possible :)
Well I have to say I’m gonna miss this comic but what a great ending can’t wait for the next project!
Perfect.
I want a taco…
Nick can i have a taco?
this is my first true comment, but I have truly enjoyed your work thus far, and will hope your next endevors will shine just as bright!
