Erotic garden gnomes are fairly similar to regular ones!
The differences are subtle, and you may miss them at first glance.
Pro tip: erotic gnomes are the ones with their genitals showing.

Two world peaces is just too much!
Also, I didn’t know Fletcher liked Katy Perry.
Of course he doesn’t. If he did, he’d have asked for official merchandise. He wants unofficial merchandise to sell on the black market.
You know, I think I’ve seen these erotic garden gnomes around, in fact an older lady might have a few laying around.
I hope Fletcher gets what he wants, but keep the robot away from me. Merry Christmas Fletcher. Whatever, Copernicus.
He only likes her unofficially.
ALL OF THE CHOCOLATE
Wait, so Fletcher understands asimov’s laws, but doesn’t realize Santa lives in the North Pole?
Once upon a Christmas, I thought I saw a family of erotic gnomes on my lawn.
Turned out to be my family.
This and the last comic are both #385! The Doctor’s Christmas special today must have even gotten into Antics with his temporal meddling!
I want to buy a real version of that Christmas sweater more than anything in the whole world ever
@Mog would you be willing to pay… ALL OF YOUR MONIES???!?!?!! !!?!!
I just read every single one of the Antics’ comics in the website. I am a proud fan now ^-^ (SO MUCH RANDOMNESS; I SALUTE THEE MASTER OF THE AWESOME AND RANDOM -bows to Fletcher Fletcherson)
STEPHEN. NO ANTICS, NO UPTOWN GHOST, WHAT IS THIS?!
I just read that Stephan is dead.
I really can’t believe it.
But it happened.
I wrote “Stephan is dead” on a napkin, read it, and I just told you guys. I think if you print this comic in reverse and also invert the colors, you can hear strange messages from your DVD player when you load it.
You might not hear “Turn me on dead man… miss him Miss Him MISS HIM!” - but you will hear some crunchy sounds. I think those represent the “Big Mac Aesthetic” despite the disjunctive perturbation of the spatial relationships between the erotic gnome urinating on the headstone.
It’s hard to decode these artistic deaths. With regard to the issue of death, the sublime beauty of the casket lined with human skin seems very disturbing in light of the inherent
ultra-specificity (that being, the skin of a Fletcher look-alike).
But you can’t deny that it visually and conceptually activates the eloquence of these pieces once you see the gnomes behind the headstone in a “69.”
It may be his greatest work ever - if not in ALL of New Zealand!! (Living down there sure fscks a guy up, ya know?)
Has he become an Uptown Ghost?
Stephan answer me WHYYYYYY!!!!!
Oh ivan I thought this was the end and I would have to start murdering rabbits again thank goodness this hopefully isn’t…for the rabbits.
Where is the Stephen? Where is the precious? Did the bad hobbit steal the Stephen?
noooo not again! *panics*
So, is this website dead, then?
“Welcome to Antics!
Fletcher is the fellow with a green
tie, and Copernicus has a red one.
New comics every Tuesday!”
I FEEL BETRAYED
“New comics every Tuesday”
So… No comics means, NO. TUESDAY!
My world is falling apart.
At least it was only a weekday, Chef.
I will remember you forever oh glorious Antics comics…Well, i’ll try anyways.
When you come back to a website, knowing you won’t see a comic, but maybe a disgruntled comment or two, that is when you know a comic has truly died. Goodbye, Antics.
Chef… My mind…. Are you inside it?!
I need antics!
┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
I miss this, but i won’t stop coming here every once and a while to check on it.
maybe if we all comment enough he’ll come back and have his spunk back?
I barely made it through the last long antics break. Don’t do this to me again!
goodbye antics. -manly tear-
Goodbye, Antics. It’s been fun. Many times have you delayed my schoolwork in favor of yourself but now it’s sadly over. I shall study more now, to graduate. I shall win. I will win this battle.
For you.
Guys, he did say he was getting married… Maybe he’s busy with that.
Please don’t leave us hanging! At least officially announce that it’s over so I can stop worrying :(
I’ve returned to search out and wait for the legendary elusive “Antics comic” it’s been a long time since the last, this is worse then hunting for a needle in the haystack, many times i’ve pondered whether or not I can continue. Throughout the weeks i’ve neglected my gut telling me it’s over, I have to keep the hope up… i’ve started to draw my own fan versions of these chaps…one day hopefully they’ll return.
It’s now March. Time drags on and yet I still check the site, if not just to see any new comments, but to no avail. The days feel longer. They grow colder. And I can feel the embrace of Antics leaving me.
I’ve lost count of the days, but seeing “A Concerned Citizen” has slightly restored my morale…T’is coming short on the new comic hope but at least people haven’t entirely forgotten…Perhaps, just perhaps there’s some hope left….
Day 79
Everyone is panicking. The food supply is starting to run out and everyone is afraid everyone is going to eat each other when the time comes. We’ve been in this camp for so long now, waiting for our lord and savior, Stephen Gillan. When will he arrive? We are on the verge of death. Has our lord abandoned us?
Maaaaaaaan. There are only so many times I can read the Sky Whales one until I need a new one. C’mon man. You gotta at least update us, if not about the site, about you and what’s going on.
Hey guys, just got back from the grocer-JESUS WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYONE?!
The world is cold without you
I keep expecting/hoping for the new comment to be from him. It never is.
@A Concerned Citizen
He may never return it seems, he’s forgotten us all… Sad days.
I’m starting to think that maybe my ‘present’ is actually the time before these comics were made, but because I think I’m in the future, I’ve actually started reading these backwards and this was the first one. and I’m waiting for it to begin? like, does that make sense?
Test
World word world where did the comix go? We’ll never know, but all in all we’ve got these to show. The past memories, many of which were fun, Yet it’s now all come undone. World word world, what is the point? When the comics flew out of detroit. The place one. All and all, this comic was fun. Love you antics.
*piano music* Where’d you go? I miss you so. Seems like it’s been forever, since you’ve been gone. Please come back home. *rapping begins*
A Concerned Citizen is spitting it on the mic.
Oh hey look! Another comic! Syke!
We all be going crazy, waiting, hoping, just maybe.
Where have you gone man, don’t forget about your baby!
Fletcher and Copernicus have not been around.
They haven’t made a noise, not even a sound.
Are they off on a sky whale or fighting with Jeff?
Come on man, what’s going on? W. T. F.
A concerned citizen went all out dope.
Dunno what’s happening but this gives me hope
That one day, just maybe we’ll get another comic
sometimes I question this all, other times I just wanna bawl my eyes out
Hoping that without a doubt he’ll spout out another comic
words words this is now a rap section.
just make sure no beheadins’ also read that so it rhymes
Otherwise I’ll have to take some time to be creative.
I miss this comic, it is so good
But for now, I return to my hood.
wuts good.
Aw man, this comic’s gone awry
It makes me wanna cry.
I miss my comics the ones I used to know
Now all we’ve got is the memories to show
how good it used to be
and you see it’s not enough for me
I want more, I can’t just shut this door
it’s a part of my life
this is stabbin’ me with a KNlFE
C’mon man, give em a hand he made 2 of the greatest comics known to man.
*Drops mic*
word.
That was beautiful, you guys.
@Geno
I only wish that fletcher/copernicus could’ve heard it.
there should probably be a comic about it if he ever comes back to us.
Detective Fletcher just laid down some beats.
Looks like it’s game time and you’re after ‘feats’
Cause I run this show every day of the week.
His rhymes are slow and his beat is whack.
I gotta get him off of my track.
Putting it all on the table, got no time to be slack.
uh, I’m back and dat was whack
what you did there, U dun hacked the rhymes
now you have the nerve to do some crimes.
you wanna go bro, well yeah I take it slow.
It’s still d-ope yo. Got them skills dat pay da bills
So when you come up in here you better open your ears and listen to these rhymes
or you’ll be doing the time, the time of thinking, tinkering trying to make some lyrics
but all you can hear is’ My beats and you get on yo feets and run, cause you aint havin’ fun no more. so just drop to da floor and pray for more to come cuz this is hella fun.
I’ve converted to homestuck. Goodbye fellows.
@Farte (3≈}) Butte, Noooo! Stay! He’ll surely return to us one day! It’s so lonely here…And cold… We must remain hopeful.
It’s time to let go, Detective. This desire to understand consumes you. You have to let go.
… my light. it’s disappearing… ;n;
it just…why must it end so unresolved. We’ll never get a series finale I guess…..
I wonder how long the site will keep running. Should someone create an archive site for this and Uptown Ghost just in case?
I’d say probably… Or make a subreddit for it. or any forum for it, we need this to be memoralized…. If that’s a word….Either way, the show must go on!
I don’t think the subreddit format would suit a comic which seems to have ended, as this one has. Maybe an Imgur album?
Yeah, Imgur could work, any permanent (Or as close to it as we can get) to memorialize the site & it’s comics.)
I’ve started downloading comics from the beginning forward, but the website’s been going off and on. If someone could start at the present and work backward then we have a higher chance of getting this done before the whole website dies entirely.
But where would someone post said comics? we Need some form of dropzone?
I saved…Every…Single….Comic….What do I do to memorize them now?
Alright. I contacted the person who owns the subreddit /r/antics (I’m still planning on hosting with an imgur album but if it just sits there on imgur then a total of nobody is going to find it) and asked for him to hand it over since it hasn’t been used in three years. He hasn’t responded yet but I have a good feeling that he’ll give it to us, since he mentioned on the sidebar that he was willing to give it away. Once we get those together, I’m not sure what to do. Any ideas?
Idk, I have legit all the comics form the site (public ones anyways) saved in a folder… so I guess imgur album, sticky the post on the subreddit and then we remember the site..
I got a friend who knows how to computer to rip all the alt texts along with the comics so I’m going to try and put together an imgur album with that. The /r/antics guy hasn’t responded yet, so I’ll let you know how that goes.
Alright man, i shall wait
The current owner of /r/antics sent me a message saying he’d be glad to add me as a moderator! So now I have full control of /r/antics and no idea what to do with it.
Here’s a thought: Why not put up one comic per day, as well as having the full archive available, so that the community remains somewhat active?
I’d say that’s a good idea, but we have to make sure people are aware of the series/subreddit in the first place I guess. now brings up the question, how do we get this into people’s memories?
Bampity tamp, got ep 1 up on the reddit.
Would you like me to make you a moderator on the subreddit? If we could communicate on a platform which doesn’t have the chance of mysteriously disappearing at any time, I think we’d be able to get more done.
Also we’d both be able to work on the subreddit. So that’s a plus.
Yeah it’d probably be smarter to work on the subreddit of antics since it’s unlikely to vanish away.
Copacetic. What’s your Reddit handle?
Idontknow84
That’s me, the guy who uploaded 2 comics so far (hit “new” tab on the subreddit)
Alright! I don’t know why, but the comics weren’t showing up on the main page. I’ve since fixed that.
Well, I guess it’s time to bid this website goodbye, at least for now. Here’s hoping all our work is for naught, and Stephen Gillan will come back soon.
And if he does, perhaps he’ll read through all the comics, also yeah dunno why it didn’t show up in the beginning but meh at least it does now.
So yeah. If anybody else is still out there, come to reddit.com/r/antics . We’d love your company.
Why do all the great webcomics have to end? :(
WHHAAAA NOOOO FLETCHER DONT LEAVE ME. YOU CANT NOOO ILL DIIIIE WITH OUT YOUR GUIDENCE NOOOOOO!
Wishlist 2014: New antics comic…or just a message from the creator…anything.
R.I.P.
Stephen Gillan
“Antics isn’t going to carry on forever!”
Foreshadowing.
I miss antics. ;__;
i long for the sweet release that is death
for it is the only escape from this misery
only the deceased know peace from this suffering that is eternal
If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
Almost a year since Antics last published. Wonder how the server’s still running.
It’s been a helluva year. We miss you, Antics.
Where did he go though? Not even the fact that there have been no comics, but no Facebook or Twitter messages either. It’s like he literally disappeared from society out of nowhere.
Maybe he was abducted by the Babylonian man-sheep?
Guys, I have introduced some people to antics at my school. Here’s hoping the website doesn’t crash for good before they finish, and we will have more to share the misery.
@Farte Butte: I don’t think the website’s going down soon; it’s been really stable recently and now that we’ve passed the one year mark since the last update, if someone weren’t paying for the site it would have gone down already.
And if/when it does go down, I’ve downloaded every comic already and have a subreddit where I’ll start posting comics soon as the website fails.
