#249 - Never Mind The Mullets
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Yes. Late. Way late, I know.
The next, and last, strip will probably not be as long. But I could be wrong.
UPDATE. NOVEMBER 2nd: Just a heads up that the next/final strip WILL be late. I can’t say for sure when it will be up, but when you see it, you will understand the reason for the delay.
UPDATE. January 11th: Yes, the end is taking a long time coming. It’s a fucking looooong as balls ending that I’ve inflicted upon KC. When it will be done, I don’t know. Sometime. That’s all I can promise.
As to me claiming to not post it, that’s untrue. The problem with the comments is that anyone can pretend to be anyone. The person posting as KC is not KC. The person posting as me, claiming that I won’t “post the new comic” is not me. I’ve turned off comments, because they’re otherwise likely to make my fucking head explode.
Will turn comments back on after posting the last comic, whenever that may be.
October 28th, 2009 at 11:15 am
Awesome!
October 28th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Awesome!
October 28th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Last panel is the best panel in a webcomic this month.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I might cry when the last strip arrives.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
nuh uh you should make the last strip EPIC
and by strip I mean PAGE.
October 28th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Ahh, good build up for the last strip. It better not be anti-climat–
October 28th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
god I love this comic.
October 28th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Yeah, that “It better not be anticlimat-” bit better not be some evil foreshadowing!
October 28th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
oh yes oh yes it IS motherfucking crazycircumstances time!
October 28th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Are they going to pick up a hitch hiking DICKBUTT?!

Zalgo, dude. Please knock it off with that font. Seriously. I’m about to start deleting it.
October 29th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Cry? I’m gonna fucking cut myself when the last strip comes.
Anyway, great page, this was by far the bestest webcomic on the planet, Jesus probably reads Hate Song
October 29th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
That last strip better be JAWESOME. It would be a shame to ruin such a good webcomic with an half-assed ending.
I hope i don’t sound like a dick for saying that.
GO, HATE SONG !
October 30th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
One to go? No! Has the time finally come?
Well, if the final strip is as good or awesomer then this one, we’ll lose hate song on a high note.
November 1st, 2009 at 11:31 am
hopefully, the Russian taxi driver will come back to life and destroy the world

November 3rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
I’m crossing my fingers for the last panel of this comic being them ramping an exploding orphanage holding guns and beer while fire shoots out of their tires for no reason.
*pleeeeeease*
November 4th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
I hope that it’s a giant image of everyone that’s every been in the comic, and that I am subsequently in said image.
OR, that by “last comic,” Fred actually either means “first of many new updates,” or “full length Hate Song feature film.”
Most importantly, though, I hope Fred does fantastically well in all his future endeavours. I mean, he didn’t HAVE to come back to wrap this all up for us. He could have just let it disappear. But he didn’t. And that’s huge.
It’s a shame that Hate Song had to go on the back burner for so long, though; there’s no doubt in my mind that, by now, it could have been one of the Crown’d Princes of the Internet.
November 5th, 2009 at 12:33 am
When I read Hate Song, I keep thinking of the Deathklock side project song of ‘Taking It Easy’. Amirite? Anyone else?
Taking it…Taking it….Easy!
November 7th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Meh, since I read the first strip it’s been Iron Maiden actually, Running Free (cause I can’t be bothered to memorize songs about prostitutes).
Also, Stevie I doubt I’m the only one to say I don’t remember your cameo and am not exactly looking forward to more of something I didnt care about enough to remember in the first place.
Also, you should give KC more oportunities to draw cars.
November 8th, 2009 at 4:29 am
“NOVEMBER 2nd: Just a heads up that the next/final strip WILL be late.”
Not to hate on you or nothin’, Fred, but I kinda doubt ANYONE is particularly surprised to hear this. =)
November 9th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
It’s a tragedy that this comic has to come to an end!
It’ll always be #1 in my books, even after its 6 feet under. 
November 11th, 2009 at 7:14 am
Better late than crap
November 12th, 2009 at 11:08 am
I got a cameo because I won the C.R.I.S.P. song contest a while back.
It wasn’t “advertised” in such a way as you would have known. It’s not like I had a nametag or anything. There was no fan-faire. It was just a fun little thing for myself, and for a friend of mine who worked with me on the songs.
I wouldn’t expect you, or anyone else, to remember, nor look forward to such a thing happening again, (not that I expect it to.)
But why the aggressive tone, Zalgo? I think I was quite friendly and reasonable in my requests to ditch the corrupted font. I never got all up in yo’ face about the content of the messages, or the fact that you’re basing your online identity on an out-of-date 4chan non-meme. I just asked you, politely, to use a font that people could actually read.
Why the ‘tude, Zalgo?
*****OR*****
y’know what? Why don’t we just let this whole thing slip right now.
No point in risking a bunch of shat comments in the last Hate Song comic. Why leave things off with a bad taste in our mouths?
So; truce? Before we get any snootier with eachother. This is a comic about love and hope and bright futures. Why drag it down?
November 13th, 2009 at 3:09 am
^^^ look at this guy caring about FONTS.
November 13th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
The font Zalgo was using was obnoxious and unreadable.
>I got your back, Stevie!<
November 15th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Wow man, you figured it out, now you can simply AND give out your petty opinions and rationalisations AND take the high road by simply putting an *******OR******* in the post.
Fucking genius.
Also, if this’d be the first time you where asking for cameo’s I guess that’d be fine, but you did so too last comic (without any real response from the creator), if this trend is to be continued, it just seems like whoring.
Not sure if this was your intention, but what actually started out as rather shortlived joke for me about apocalypticism (there sadly enough is’nt anything like a Rorscharch font) turned into a discussion with the font because you felt some need to comment on two one sentence posts.
My incessant need to continue any discussion to the bitter end is partly to blame here, but when someone starts whining about a font you use in a still very readable context, you just have to take it to the extremes (in which im actually amazed you bothered to decode all that stuff).
Lastly, this is not a comic about love, hope or any of that, the first comic deals with pedophilia for gods sake, the latest animal cruelty and car theft, I mean for gods sake, the comics called HATE Song, if anything, would’nt spewing as much vile bile here be the fitting tribute?
November 15th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Oh man, I know it’s sad that the comic’s going to end, but this is like getting into a fight at a funeral, without the hilarious connotations, guys.
That said, I think there should be no last strip, honestly. I don’t want Hate Song to end, and I’m willing to let it be on indefinite hiatus Again than give it an ultimate end. Either way, good run it was. Enjoyed it to the last.
November 17th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Yeah, what he said. Except for the bit about there being no last strip. Take all the time you need. I’ll be rubbing my hooves in anticip-
November 17th, 2009 at 9:42 am
As it’s the penultimate comic, I’d just like to say that you’ve had an amazing run. I used to read this religiously until some point where I sort of forgot about it…now I come back to find it’s about to end! it’s been great man.
Kudos from Malta
November 17th, 2009 at 10:17 am
The last strip may be a bit coming. It took me a long time to write and I imagine it will take KC a long time to draw. I don’t want to give anything away, but I think that when you see it, you’ll all understand.
November 18th, 2009 at 3:51 am
Oh. Man. I just read Dunham’s post, and now I can’t stop hoping that the last strip is a fight at a funeral. That would rule.
November 18th, 2009 at 4:19 am
I AM NOT DRAWING THIS, EAT MY PUSSY
*stab*
=/
November 18th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
I agree completely with Amadeus’ agreement. We, the readers, demand this.
November 18th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
…and now I wait…
December 4th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
update dammit!
December 7th, 2009 at 3:17 am
is orest supposed to be talking in the first panel, or is tim? the dialouge in the bubble and who it’s poining to make it kinda confusing…..
December 11th, 2009 at 8:26 am
Hello? As much as I dont want it to end I DEMAND the next comic be posted. Or I’ll go read Garfield instead. Yeah. You heard me. GARFIELD.
December 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am
In the meantime, let’s just have KC insult the tits off everyone. That should make the wait more amusing…
December 11th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
In firefox you have this wonderful option to open a specific group of bookmarks at once, I have a list of webcomics I check roughly bi-daily, and for some reason this is still in there.
So Fred, KC’s got his webcomics, what the hell are you going to spend you time on come the Hate Song deathification?
December 12th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Where the fuck is button “To the first comic” on this site?
December 12th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
hit the archive button near the top, stupid
December 12th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
ooooo! Sick burn!
December 13th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I give up, I won’t post this new comic.
Hate Song ends here.
December 13th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Noooooo!!!! Please Fred, we need closure!
December 14th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
Fred I swear to god I will end my life right here if you don’t finish this goddamn webcomic.
December 14th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
There are worse endings for a webcomic than “It’s motherfucking crazy circumstances time!!”
December 14th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
Great. Now I’ve spelt my own name wrong
December 15th, 2009 at 5:04 am
please please pleassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee finish it i beg of you
December 16th, 2009 at 3:49 am
Man, I will, like. Light myself on goddamn fire. To death. And NOT film it OR put it on YouTube. IF you don’t finish this comic.
This comic would make a pretty bitchin’ ending, but really. The finale has been slowly building for FOREVER now. You can’t leave us hanging like this, man. Feel the love and finish the final strip!
December 16th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
End? Now? But we haven’t yet seen any crazy circumstances! It can’t end!
December 17th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
fuck you, quitter.
December 17th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Jesus man… please finish the comic! Just one more to go!
December 18th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Fred. Hi. First time commenter, long time reader.
If you stop Hate Song here I will fucking end you. I will destroy everything you’ve ever loved. I will pee on your most treasured valuables.
You must finish Hate Song if you want to avoid this.
December 19th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
well, fred, endings are hard to write, i’ve heard, and if they arent dont properly they CAN completley ruin an otherwise good series, so……………. FFUUCK!!!! at the very least just give us some piece of shit mspaint thing, i wanna fucking know what happens…
if not that, than just tell us what happens and label it as 250. that’ll be far better than just pussin’ out.
December 21st, 2009 at 10:19 am
It’s motherfucking crazy circumstances time!!… bitches!
December 21st, 2009 at 5:47 pm
fuck that shit, I’m done with this comic.
December 21st, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Oh lol, best way to end the comic.
But if KC does finish drawing it, I would have to guess that the ending is anti-climactic in that they do all sorts of crazy shit, crash the car, and die.
December 21st, 2009 at 10:37 pm
At the very least, you can tell us what that last comic was going to be.
December 22nd, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Don’t you do this, Fred. Don’t roll out on this like a punk. That ain’t you. That ain’t even CLOSE to you.
December 22nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Sorry guys, I know this comic should be finished but there’s all these cocks waiting to be sucked, so kinda busy.
My apologies, I’m sure you’ll understand.
December 23rd, 2009 at 7:17 am
Oh you, Fred.
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Hey Fred, your name wasn’t red that time.
I’ve never seen you NOT link back to Hate Song before.
I mean, perhaps you just forgot and all, but it’s almost as though, just maybe, someone else has let their cocksucking duties slip.
A slip in your cock duties; It just doesn’t sound like you, man!
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Fred. I just have on thing to say to you….
C’mon!!!
December 24th, 2009 at 6:30 am
Yeah sure Stevie, continue licking Fred’s anus.
Good luck rooting for the godamn quiter.
December 25th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
aw man, this is taking waaaay too long…
December 25th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
It’s over Okran… it’s over.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:46 am
Kinda epic though, like how Edgar P. Jacobs died just before finishing the last part in the professor Sato arc.
Ofcourse this is not dying, more like watching a terminal cancer patient.
December 26th, 2009 at 3:18 am
oh well, might be better this way…
it was great reading this comic.
December 28th, 2009 at 2:18 am
New Idea: Tell us the ending and then have a contest to see who can draw it the best.
December 28th, 2009 at 6:35 am
I like that, let’s have a failcontest to add to all the other fail.
December 29th, 2009 at 5:49 am
zalgo you fail to surprise
December 29th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I can help with some of those cocks if it’ll speed things up, man. I’m willing to take a few hundred for this cause.
December 31st, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Oh man, you god damn quitter, you GOD DAMN QUITTER.
December 31st, 2009 at 6:14 pm
The final comic should be up before January 4th. I’d apologize for the delay, but whatever.
January 1st, 2010 at 1:23 am
Whooo!!! Something to go with my tequila!
January 1st, 2010 at 9:36 am
Yay!
January 1st, 2010 at 1:13 pm
=D
January 3rd, 2010 at 9:29 pm
KC accidentally left his window open and a breeze blew the almost finished piece onto the road in the path of a truck and got destroyed. Now he’s sulking and refusing to redraw it until he gets a girlfriend.
In other words, it ends here.
Fred out.
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:47 pm
SHIT!
January 4th, 2010 at 2:22 am
Whatever Fred. You gave us all some good laughs and good times. If it’s over, it’s over. It was a damn good run.
January 4th, 2010 at 4:33 am
D=
January 4th, 2010 at 6:21 am
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It cant be true.
SALTY SALTY LIES!
January 4th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Oh, ho ho. No. It’s motherfucking crazy circumstances time!
Great comic and so forth. Now go make a final batch of Hate Song merchandise (including - of course - new hip flasks), upload final strip, bask in infinite glory. Done.
January 5th, 2010 at 10:47 am
You CANNOT be SERIOUS.
Update this shit TOOT FUCKING SWEET.
January 6th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Man, I can’t even tell whether that actually happened (the comic about to be out by the 4th, not the truck), or if you’re just dicking with us in the cruelest way, but either way I had a laugh and now I need to go cry in a corner for a bit.
January 7th, 2010 at 8:17 pm
Meh…
January 8th, 2010 at 11:34 am
Maybe…we just need to get to 100 comments! from new people! hes trying to get alot of views for the last one! everyone bring a friend!
January 9th, 2010 at 10:02 pm
I don’t have any friends….
January 10th, 2010 at 3:52 am
This is largely the discretion of the creator. It would be regrettable that this doesn’t see a conclusion, but I can understand Fred’s (not his real name) frustration and rejection of what he has created. Obligations are a bitch. Oh hey, sorry I missed you year before last at Comic-Con. I still rock that the Filth Hole shirt hardcore-style.
January 10th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
so… is it really over? should I cease to hope?
January 11th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Nope, should not cease to hope.
January 11th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Just post the storyboard and what has already been finished, there should be more then enough willing people here to band together and finish what has been left undone.
I mean shit, KC might have his ‘original’ style but it’s not like creating similar or technically better drawings for this should be that much work.
January 11th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
doin’ your mom♪
January 11th, 2010 at 7:23 pm
ahahah, TIT pm
January 11th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
How crazy… The first day I check since November 2nd, there’s an update waiting. JUST FOR ME! AW YEAH.
