Fuzzy Five to go on Hiatus!

Fans wail in the streets; contract negotiations to blame

Celeb Scoop – August 20, 2012

Authorities are urging members of the webcomic fan community to think happy thoughts and refrain from tearing out their hair after Artist Melissa Zayas and Writer Charles D. announced yesterday that The Fizzy Five would be going on hiatus. The hugely popular weekly strip focuses on the adventures of five Squishables and their human (and vampire) owners in the scenic but fictional town of Fluffton.

Sources close to the comic tell Celeb Scoop that the hiatus came about after Randall Cooningham, who plays Nightshade, refuses to continue participating in the Fuzzy Five pending the results of contract talks.

According to one tentacled source, Cooningham wants his own trailer. “Not just that, he wants Nutella, fluff and raspberry jam on thin mint sandwiches delivered every hour, on the half hour. Why hasn’t his agent told him that we don’t even have a real set for him to park a trailer next to!” Cooningham did not answer requests for comment, as his mouth was full.

This morning, Charles D. issued a press release assuring Fuzzy Five fans that the strip will be back in the future. “In the meantime, our fans should know that we love them very much and that life will go on. The sun will rise, the birds will sing and there are plenty of other things on the Internet with which to waste your time,” wrote Mr. D.  ”We will return.”

Hi Fuzzy Fivers! The plan seems to have worked…maybe a little too well? Stay tuned!

Thanks for your patience! Incidentally, today’s comic features the remaining two contest winner cameos: Sara, author of Cthulhu Kitty in: Freaky Fuzz-Day, and Colleen, author of The Fuzzy Five in: A Not-So-Fuzzy Adventure!

Update will be posted this afternoon! Sorry guys!

The plan to make Destructio Fluffton’s worst nightmare begins.

Incidentally, Mayor Corey is none other than contest winner Corey, whose Cthulhu Kitty comic got him and collaborator Sara first prize! Next to him is his press secretary, Bruce the Mini Bat. Keep an eye out for cameos from Sara and our other winner Colleen in upcoming comics!

Thanks so much for your patience, Fuzzy Fivers!  This week a new restaurant makes its appearance, since the Waffletorium just hasn’t proved the safest place for our heroes.

Hey Fuzzy Fivers! Remember last week’s move? Well, we’re still unpacking and getting settled in, so no comic this week. However, Kendra did this awesome filler for us, basically explaining how we’ve been feeling as NYC’s thermometer shot up this week!

Important announcement from the Fuzzy Five! Our headquarters at Squishable.com has been moved, and we are way busy packing up all our Fuzzy Five supplies (and round cuddly comrades) and taking it all to our new place! Which is awesome, but it means we weren’t able to finish this week’s comic. But never fear, Fuzzy Five will be back on track next Monday! Thanks everyone! ~Melissa

Thanks for being patient, Fuzzy Fivers! Today we learn about Meredith’s MYSTERIOUS PAST (not really). But more importantly–will Nightshade be kicked out? Or donated to the Salvation Army? Stay tuned!
