Actually maybe sucker-punching Buck wasn’t a great idea after all…
That’s it for the 5-page Helvetica update! I really hope you enjoyed it. I have to get back to work on Barbarous again, but I hope to pick up again soon. If you enjoy Helvetica and stories about supernatural interpersonal drama, you’ll love Barbarous!! Please check it out and support it ♥
Thanks again for reading ♥
You can also find me on twitter and tumblr if you’re interested in keeping in touch with me or seeing my other work.
Oh my gosh any longer into the hiatus and we’re going to end up Sherlockians…
(that’s a joke)
I’m already a Sherlockian…sooner or later I’ll be in a mental hospital…the hiatus is too much!
as of today it has been a year since the last update
Miss you! Hope you’re doing well!
OH NOES!!! I caught up…and it’s a YEAR AGO!!! I want to see moar! *Pouts*
Oh wow! It’s been two years.
Nah, just a little over one year. 2018 was the first year without an update since the beginning, though.
Hate to say it, but I think you’re right. I’ve officially lost hope. Sorry Wiedle. I’ve been dedicated for years, holding on for one update. I can’t do it. I understand that it takes a while and that artists shouldn’t be pressured. But I feel like my heart breaks every time I think about what this comic COULD have been. And it sucks. It could have been so good and I was so excited for so long. But now I’ve given up. Peace out.
Why the hell there are ads about dead comics( Now I’ll have to wonder about this cliffhanger forever((((
There’s other good comics out there guys. I would recommend reading Scurry and Harpy Gee :)
I just started reading. It can’t be over now! O-or can it?
Anyone else notice that Lucy and Autumn were never added to the cast list?
Huh still nothing?
To the people checking in every day: I personally suggest signing up for the RSS feed. It’ll tell you when the comic updates again so you don’t have to come to the site all the time. I use Feedly, but there are a lot of other apps to keep track of it for you. Hope this helps!
Ive come back to this comic to check what’s up! Hope you’re doing well J :D
Gotta say, I always imagined Buck with either a low, wispy, creepy overlaid voice, or the voice of the boogieman from The Nightmare Before Christmas (which is almost definitely not what you intended)- but in your askblog you said you saw him having the voice of John DiMaggio, and that’s SO perfect?? But now I have three voices in my head when I read Bucks lines and I don’t know what to do.
How dare you not provide free content to me when I want it! I want a full refund of my $0.00 USD.
tbh yeah these ppl need to chill out. like i get it if youre impatient and getting antsy and stuff but jones isnt really required to keep making this. like they could stop at anytime if they wanted to but they wont because they /PLAN/ on giving us more content. If jones didnt care, dont you think they would stop paying for this domain url? I mean, i dont have any kind of evidence for that claim, but im pretty sure they pay for this?? and theres probably more financial stuff with Hiveworks and whatever. So like, jones kiiiiiinda has a lot on their plate considering all the money that goes into keeping this website up and a job and stuff to NOT be working as best as they can on the comic. I know its been over a year and whatever, but really, is it worth starting a flamewar over? if you dont want to read it, dont read it???? its that simple???
Wow people are really getting dramatic over a comic that the creator has chosen to do for fun huh? They don’t owe you anything. If you’re not paying them, you don’t have a right to assume that they just don’t care or that they’re being lazy. I used to be one of those people that tried to act all entitled to updates for this comic, but that’s before I fully understood that artists have their own lives. They are entitled to *their* free time and they have the right to spend it however they choose. Just because they’re drawing fanart and not using *their* downtime to make the thing *you* want them to doesn’t give you the right to throw a hissy fit on their website. Go find a different comic to read if you’re gonna get mad over this one.
I don’t care how long it takes- I will wait until I DIE for the sake of reading the next page- maybe by then I’ll meet them myself and ask how they got out of this situation. Just keep up with the great work!!! I can’t wait to read the next page!!!! See you then, I’ll just be waiting here to see what’s gonna happen next.
I do really hope to see this awesome comic come back someday, I’ve had page one bookmarked for years.
Damn! Never thought he had it in him!
Hmm…There’s no updates last year, but oh well let’s be patient this year!
(I started reading Helvetica last year, so I’m still determined)
I agree. :3
You sir, are a bloody legend *salutes*
Agreed.
I just found this comic, and I like it. I don’t know your circumstances, but I hope you’ll continue drawing it someday.
Miss this comic a lot! I started reading it in 2015 and it quickly became one of my favourites. Love your work!
I know how hard it is to find any time to draw comics. I know how hard it is to draw comics. I hope your schedule loosens up sometime in the future, because I love this comic and I wish for you to do well.
Happy Comic-Birthday! Hope you’re doing well!
damn, it’s already been two years since this has updated? i hope you’re doing alright jones, maybe you could get someone to draw for the comic while you still write for it? please don’t feel obliged to continue this because other people scream at you to. i know how it feels to have a busy schedule and then just “sleep” over something you use to enjoy. take care of yourself. maybe someday, this site will see a new page.
Been awhile, but i thought of this today. Came here hoping to find an update, but was unfortunately disappointed. Maybe one day ♥
Just… One number away from a perfect 100… So close.
Maybe someday. (´;︵;`)
We all gotta be determined if we want to see this!
Why is the bad guy the only one with eyes? Do evil people get eyes when they die? Does it have something to do with *how* they died? DID THE BAD GUY DIE BY LOSING HIS EYES?!
Nope. Jn Wiedle stated that Buck put LEDs into his eyesockets to be more intimidating.
i love this comic, but i would love to see an update, but i also understand that art block can hit artists for months or even years, just do what you can, love you
Now that I think about it, Buck said “This (is) your new partner, Steak? “.
-Your new partner
-New partner
Steak and Buck might be partners back then! :0
we are currently 4 months away from the end of 2019
no update in sight
I think its okay to say, rest in peace my lil boney boi
love you jn you’re doing great
the notion that jones does this comic for fun and may return when they’re ready fills you with determination.
Ahaha I’m so stupid, it’s right over there. Can’t believe I just saw that now.
I guess you could say he got the lights knocked out of him XD
I dont know whats going on or if comic will have a continuation, i just want to thank j.n. wiedle to make this great comic beacuse for me it is a great, original and amazing idea! so even if you dont read this at least i hope that the people who read the comments can read mine and understand that even if its not finished they can see and appreciate this awesome work! ❤ ❤ ❤
(i will check this comic even if years go by)
( by the way sorry for my bad english)
Why no spooky skelebois for so long?
Lots of love,
but I do imagine it is sadly the time to say rest in peace to the comic.
Love your work and I’ve been around for a long time to enjoy it
How about Helvetica becoming a greeter.
Can’t wait for the two year anniversary without an update :)
RIP Helvetica
Fun fact – The Mob Psycho OP was just counting down the pages of Helvetica
December 30th has come and gone again….
I still miss you, and hope you’re okay and that whatever you’re doing is making you happy.
tbf the next page will be the 100th, a pretty major milestone. it makes sense that it would take at least two years to happen
DUDE ITS 2020 ITS BEEN OVER TWO YEARS PLEASE BRING THIS BACK
Hi,
I started reading this comic when I was in the middle of 7th grade. I’m now in my last semester of senior year. Even though you haven’t updated in a little over 2 years, I wanted to say that I still love your comic. Every year I read through it at least twice, and it’s still as exciting as the first time. Your characters are super engaging and by now they feel like old friends. Watching how your art style has changed is so amazing, and showed me that with time and practice my own art will improve. You’ve even inspired me to start my own webcomic! I know a lot of people are upset that you haven’t updated but please, take your time. I don’t know when, or if, you’ll come back, but I’m excited to see what comes next. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful webcomic that has gotten me through high school and will probably stick with me through college.
From,
A longtime fan
AAAHH I MISS THIS COMIC SO BAD!!
For anyone wondering what happened to the comic and why it hasnt been updating its because of some difficulties the creator has been having. If you go to their main site that barbarous is on theres some mini comics that explain that they’ve been having some intense medical problems with their hand. They’ve only just started to update barbarous again after a long break of not doing it.
Ah, thank you for the information!
