Annnd the last page! Yikes. I'm hoping it's not too sudden, or too disappointing. But really it's the only way I could end it; happy, fairly open to a more positive future, generally hopeful, that sort of thing. For some reason I mostly hinted at ships rather than straight up confirming them. It's just the way I rolled with this particular work. I can say though, they definitely are canon. Which ones, should be pretty obvious, I think.;)
Way later an update than I intended, but I figured since it's the very last I could be a little more... Lax, with the schedule. Though its not cos I was slacking; been a bit of a crazy patch IRL. Oof. But I'm done. Wow.
January 2014, until September 2019. 571 pages. Damn. I don't know what to say, except, wow, thank you everyone for reading along with this crazy journey! I'm... I don't know what to say right now. It doesn't feel too real yet. Going to miss my dear characters, but I'm also ready to let them go by now. ...Goddamnit I never did do that cast page. I really need to update the fanart section too yikes
I'll have a lot more to say later, though, like, I have a lot of thanking and stuff left to do. Plus some other tidbits, going to talk about my next project, that sort of thing. So there'll be some more 'updates', but this is the last actual page. I could answer any questions anyone might have too.
But, for now, I'm going to get some sleep.:)
And the last fanart ever received before the comics official ending, from Athens!
Yup, it's BASICALLY the whole cast saying good bye! Ah man. This hit me hard in the feels. REALLY HARD. It's the sweetest thing, I loves it. I don't think even I have the patience to draw everyone saying goodbye like this, haha!
Big 'grats, always good to see a comic get proper closure, especially one that's been going on for nearly 6 years. Best of luck with your future works.
Aww, Bryfang, you're alive! Been wondering/worried.:)
Thank you very much! I can't believe it's been that long. Wow. I bet my next one takes double that just to screw with my mind.
I'm not sure! It's kind of an awkward time because I'm going to moving IRL next month or so. So I could either be responsible and wait until I'm moved, or say 'fuck it' and start after I've got a little buffer.
The next comic is this. Of course, nothing there, yet.:)
Aw jeez, Argy, of COURSE you did something, you madman!!!
And all the couples!! It's so cute! Wtf?
I can't decide my favorite part here, bwahaha. Felix's adorkable blushing, Shaun giving Eva bunny ears... MAX AND HIS COOKIES LMFAO. I love how he mirrors Jeff's cuddling his cat. Wow. Everyone is so CUTE and also like, hella handsome. Wow!!
Thank you so much Argy, this was a lovely surprise~~ ;-; <3
(You know I almost threw in a scene with Max near the end where he remarks how 'some people' wanted to see him and Anne end up together but he didn't see it, just so mess with you and Sleeps, lmfao, kind of wish I had, but I couldn't find a good spot for it)
All the important ships survived so that is the most important thing, lmao. Good! :D
Then Shaun snuck out in the middle of the night because I honestly do not see him doing ANYTHING they will require him to do now, haha!
Ay. Congrats! Good luck with some possible future stuff!
@Jak Lmao. I had to make sure the ships survived intact, yes! ;)
Shaun'll help out. He'll grumble the entire time, but if Eva asks him, he'll get it done.:)
Wow, really? Daaaamn.
That's really crazy to think about! Most of the first comics I started reading don't even exist anymore, haha.:)
(Your words are sweet, though, thank you!)
Congratulations!!! :D
500+ pages, 5+ years, that's truly awesome :))
And yes, I really like this end, they got the things sorted out, are not giving up, life moves on. But without the kitsch. Optimistic as well as realistic.
Err, what happened with Max? ;)
Wait, I already know! He met someone too, right? A girl with toes in her hair? Ship!!!!!
Anyways, still hard to believe it's really over. No sequel right? I guess no?
What are your plans now? New comic starting soon?
Thank you very much! <3
If only I'd managed to plan better and ended on 570 instead of 571.......;)
Glad you think so! It's not a super sugary end, but hopeful enough. Kind of fits the overall feel, I think.:)
Max is still off being Max in his little hut, ha ha ha.;)
(That's an adorable idea, though!)
I can't believe it either! Wow...
No sequel, haha. Alas. I might do something in the distant future. Might. But I have a lot of other projects I want to do. :)
New comic.... Soon? I'm not sure how soon.:)
This is one of the more unique endings to a post-apocalypse story I've seen. The world hasn't changed much, yet it's still positive. It's like 9 if the world the characters lived in had actually been salvaged with a decent population in it. I wonder if when Aaron Neathery finishes Endtown, he too will be able to say he gave his characters a fair living ever after.
Still, I can only wonder what else happened in this version of Earth. There's so much room for an "expanded universe" in Wastelanders Anonymous' setting. The concept of where this comic is set was well-chosen.
But aw, thanks so much, Ed! I think there's definitely room for more tales, for sure. Like Jeff's adventures after the story. Woo boy.
I don't know if or when I'll tell them, though. I have so many projects I need to get to before I die! I'm pretty ready to move on from WA completely, at least for quite a while.
Awww, thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Haha.:)
One is never too late, I say! Hopefully I'll get said project started sooner rather than later! After I'm settled in from my big move.:)
An extended break from posting to my comment ended up inadvertently being an extended break from comic fury in general, but I finally caught back up. What a great ending! In today's world of franchises, reboots and extended universes it's refreshing to read something that's self-contained and conclusive. Thanks for this comic!
So, I used to read this comic back in high school, right around the time it first started, and somehow I forgot about it. Recently I remembered it existed (because I was reading a different webcomic with a character who reminded me of Jeff) and decided to try to find this again and see what ever happened to it - and was so glad to see it was still around and FINISHED! So yes, I binged the whole thing, and I'm very glad I rediscovered it. Thanks for the great comic!
Aww, thank you!!
That's real sweet to hear, haha. <3
I'm glad you enjoyed the journey! Honestly, it's been over a year and I still have trouble believing I finished it. :')
The Covid Era :tm: was a bit rough on me, haha. When I do return I'll expand on that a bit, life has just been rather hectic to put it short. I absolutely still intend to come back, hopefully within this year. @_@
I read this as it updated a long time ago (I think I wasn't even an adult then!), and a few days ago I remembered it and just finished rereading it! Still just as good, if not better with it all read in one go. Great job Seabiscuit!
I'd love to know if you post art anywhere else. I think I found an old tumblr blog of yours, but that's about it. Seabiscuit was pretty hard to search, haha. I'd love to see any new art, if the art juices have been active since :]
D'aw, thank you!! I realize this reply is SUPER late. It has been. Uh. A time, on my end, lol. For real though, thank you, that's so sweet.
I'm not sure if that tumblr blog you found is mine or not - there's a lot of 'Seabiscuits' out there, haha. I don't have anywhere I post art, unfortunately, I haven't drawn.. much at all, as of late. I still aim to come back, though! Though, no timeframe yet. :')
But man, this was such a journey. Good luck on your future projects!
Given how the comic was, a chill ending was the only way.:)
Thank you very much!! I'm pretty excited for the next one!
Thank you very much! I can't believe it's been that long. Wow. I bet my next one takes double that just to screw with my mind.
Congrats! When do you start the next one?
I'm not sure! It's kind of an awkward time because I'm going to moving IRL next month or so. So I could either be responsible and wait until I'm moved, or say 'fuck it' and start after I've got a little buffer.
I don't know if I have the patience to wait!Oh, and I did this thing in preparation...
Aw jeez, Argy, of COURSE you did something, you madman!!!
And all the couples!! It's so cute! Wtf?

Damn dude, that's wonderful.
teh feelz!
Thanks for all the strips, Sea! It's been good to read; I often found it brightened my day. :)
That makes me very happy.:)
Congrats on completing the comic, Sea! I can't wait to see your next project! ^^
Well, congrats on completing your comic, SeaBee!
Will be looking forward to the next. X3
Hope it doesn't disappoint! I'm pretty excited to get started. :D
Then Shaun snuck out in the middle of the night because I honestly do not see him doing ANYTHING they will require him to do now, haha!
Ay. Congrats! Good luck with some possible future stuff!
Haha! Timeline psychic. Wow. I love that title!
Shaun'll help out. He'll grumble the entire time, but if Eva asks him, he'll get it done.:)
Thank you very much Jak~~ :)
Congratulations on finishing it!!! :D
Really there was no way I could have ended this without it being either hopeful or happy, haha.:)
Congrats Sea to the B!
Only took me near six years, hah.
this is one of the first webcomics I started reading ever
it's gonna be weird as hell seeing it... not updating anymore
imma miss it so much
That's really crazy to think about! Most of the first comics I started reading don't even exist anymore, haha.:)

I got the page setup and ready. Now it just needs pages. And a banner. And an avatar...:)
Thank you so much fo sharing your wonderful comic, and looking forward to reading the next one :D
Oh man. So cute! The wiggling!!
Thank you so much, Miaubol, this is hilarious!
...And adorable. Max has finally met his match, and she's hella cute. Let's say it's canon, lmao.;)
( [distant screams of Max x Anne shippers] )
Given that I'm just starting my own series myself, seeing other finish theirs is pretty inspiring :D makes me motivated to work harder haha
Thanks for sharing your story with us, it's been a fun ride! :D

I saw on strudel WA ended :[ I will have to catch up now and finish it <3
It was never canon. Alas!!
It was a cute one, though.
Aww <3 <3 <3
wtf am proud
5 stars owo
A very sweet manner to conclude this story.
I think I'm satisfied for once as well, haha. The only way I could have ended it, really.
Well, now I am finally done - and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I know, I may have been a bit "late for the party" for this one - but I'll surely be there from Day 1 when your next comic project is starting!
Haha.:)
One is never too late, I say! Hopefully I'll get said project started sooner rather than later! After I'm settled in from my big move.:)
Aw, thanks man, that makes me happy you feel that way!:)
I haven't been logging in much, so I missed this...sorry!
Thank you. <333
Aww, thank you!!
That's real sweet to hear, haha. <3
I'm glad you enjoyed the journey! Honestly, it's been over a year and I still have trouble believing I finished it. :')
I haven't been on much, so I missed this, but thank you. :D
