The comic series gained a large cult following. It is currently in indefinite hiatus since November 2016.

Trivia

 * I dunno what I was thinking, Leaving my child behind, Now I suffer the curse and now I am blind With all this anger, guilt and sadness, Coming to haunt me forever, I can't wait for the cliff at the end of the river,  Is this revenge I am seeking, Or seeking someone to avenge me Stuck in my own paradox I wanna set myself free  Maybe I should chase and find Before they'll try to stop it It won't be long before I'll become a puppet  It's been so long, Since I last have seen my son Lost to this monster To the man behind the slaughter  Since you've been gone I've been singing this stupid song So I could ponder The sanity of your mother  I wish I lived in the present With the gift of my past mistakes But the future keeps luring in like a pack of snakes  Your sweet little eyes, your little smile, Is all I remember Those fuzzy memories mess with my temper  Justification is killing me But killing isn't justified What happened to my son, I'm terrified  It lingers in my mind and the thought keeps on getting bigger, I'm sorry my sweet baby, I wish I've been there.  It's been so long, Since I last have seen my son Lost to this monster To the man behind the slaughter  Since you've been gone I've been singing this stupid song So I could ponder The sanity of your mother
