Prologue
Monday, January 1st, 2007 by Nestor
Nestor here, Hyung was supposed to tell me when he was moving, but since it’s almost the 20th I figure it’s a foregone conclusion. So as we agreed here goes the murder at the chateau reposts.
I’ll probably post several per day, backdated along the month so they don’t get in the way when Hyung returns.

Hyungina was introduced near the end of the old crazy kimchi strips, you should totally read those (I still need to upload the older ones, but whatever)
As for the simpsons style header image, it was just a one off thing, maybe he should try do more, Space Coyote (Artist of Saturnalia) just got a gig doing simpsons style stuff on the strenght of a couple of similar drawings off her deviantart
Hey look, a link to buy the simpsons eighth season on DVD. Is that the one where they jumped the shark? Or was it earlier than that? Only one way to find out, order it and see!!

Sweet! This is my favorite CK bit!

2nd.
I would pray for Hyung, but there is no god to listen to my prayers.
January 19th, 2007 at 1:01 am
I was fairly sure he would have been dead by now.
January 19th, 2007 at 1:29 am
This is my favorite CK story as well.
Here’s hoping things turn out for the best for ya, Hyung. Good luck!

Nestor: I’d stick to one a day. Normal people will only visit once a day, and it also means that there will new material appearing on the front page for longer.
I loved the colouring style on these.
January 19th, 2007 at 4:25 am
I’m so not normal, but I still agree with Dave. Content on the front page is good.
Also: HYUNG WHERE ARE YOU? WHY DON’T YOU CALL? YOU NEVER STOP BY! YOU EXPECT US TO LANGUISH HERE FOREVER?
January 19th, 2007 at 6:06 am
If Hyung ever actually dies (i.e. Satan reneges on his promise as that bastard is wont to do), nobody will probably ever realise. Maybe Hyungs corpse will be re-animated for the express purpose of not finishing off plotlines.

Bwhahahah
And the funny part is the Huyngina name got pasted on her by one of the forum mooks. Hyung made a big stink and claims to hate it. The veracity of that is as always unknown.

Well she’s technically version 5 or 6 I forget. Nell does sound better.

If you’re trying to keep content going but stretch time why not only update 5 days a week instead of 7. No need to be overly ambitious here. We don’t want our starving artist to burn out and lose interest in a project until he’s at least 75% done with it.

Aand the original comments rescued from the luminiferous aether (i.e. haloscan) I guess that’s where “Hyungina” came from:

At least they get to be kept in the dungeon of a nice mansion.

Hyung, you should read “At Swim two Birds” before you venture any further along your current, dangerous path of character abuse:

For all we know, female Hyung is speaking not to her male self, but rather a sentient, malicious, disembodied, floating hand with the ability to speak that guards Hyung’s dungeon with uncanny efficiency.

Can’t we just call her H5 or version 5?
“Female Hyung” conjures up disturbing images…

I vote for “Hyung the Other”.

The funny thing is that at my school, we named that position “Teh Sexy Ben” after a hilariously failed faux-seduction attempt… Good to see that the pose is alive and well!

I like how people’s noses exist and then don’t exist independent of plot actions.

Ironically, H5 is what Hyung actually looks like; all this time he’s been duping us into thinking he’s a guy!
Incidentally, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mi Sung look better.

Is Chateau Kimchi the inside of Hyung’s head?
If so what’s it like when you get out of the basement?

Your writting Hyung as always is fantastic. Witty, character driven, and fun to read.
But this comic and the previous do not look nearly up to par with what I expect from you. It’s not the the marker or sketchy quality, as I’ve seen you do excellent work with the Matrix parody and H5′s introduction. But these past two seem poorly thought out design wise and poorly framed. This chateu episode just strikes me the wrong way visually and I lost my sense of geography and placement looking at Mi Sungs frame. H5s head lacked any detail identifying her as H5 so stoopid dunderheads like me get lost. And in general, the brick walls don’t look good to me.
Personally, I don’t mind waiting a long time if the comics look better for it. But that’s just me, and I nitpick sunsets with poorly composed clouds, so there.

There’s something vaguely ironic when someone critizises the comic for poor composition when the opening frame looks like a parody of the opening of Citizen Kane.
Composition my not have been the best but I thought the last two strips were funny… that’s good enough for me

Remmy: Now, now you know the rules. Complaints will cost you $50 and then Le Artiste might condecend to listen to your complaint.
*crosses her fingers and hopes that Hyung is well rested and fed when he reads the comments.*

Question: Why is Cavin unhappy about being trapped in a dungeon full of men??
Nestor | Email | Homepage | 08.02.03 – 12:39 pm | #
“I’m too pretty to be in here” – presumably, they aren’t up to his standards.

Mi Sung’s a Ramones fan?

The nipple hugger. Excellent! Remind me to order a couple for my professor.

A-hem, I know I’m a loser. I’ve read Kung-Fool from beginning to present and Crazy Kimchi, also. Tis crazy and hilarious! Can’t wait til the next Kimchi.

Meh, H5 is too nondescriptive.
I vote for Hyungina.
Regault | Email | Homepage | 08.02.03 – 11:41 pm | #
I dunno…Hyungina could be pronounced in such a way that it could sound a lot like a lady’s lady bits.
…or maybe I should get out more.

And here I thought that was the point.

awww, poor little female hyung, i like her,

H5 has that greasy car salesman hair going on for her. It kinda freaks me out because the only other person I know who’s done that (well, I used to do that, but only on occasion! And it took a shitload of gel to get it to stay) is…Draco Malfoy.

I like v5, she’s has excellent uses. Mental abuse and generally degradation, for example. A perfect tool.

Naaah!
She’s the mildly cute and neurotic girl just tryin’ to fit in! She’s already found her role and doesn’t even know it!

Hyungina! It’s official, and no amount of nay-saying shall change her identity. Those who disagree may go share the room with the batshit crazy-chick.
Benares | Email | Homepage | 08.04.03 – 6:32 pm | #
Hyungina is a stupid name.
Woohoo! Now I get to room with Mi Sung! Gawd, this world needs more batshit crazy chicks — we have way too many mildly neurotic ones already!
