OH NO! HARVEY IS DEAD! At first I thought you would do an April Fools’ Day post and was looking forward to it, then I read this and thought it was real, and then I read the description. 😀
just because someone says “happy april first” doesn’t make it a joke. Had he said “happy april fools day!” then yes it would probably have been a joke, but he didn’t.
He is a more accurate term for singular then they, and google didn’t update because I, like every other person with access to the internet, used google that day.
Don’t insult me, I know who Savestate is made by, I have been reading it since July. I was talking about updating Google translate, I thought I made that clear in my post.
And for your second comment about Google not updating, I was talking about in the comic universe. It was a joke, it wasn’t actual news. You don’t have to be a jerk when you are wrong and the other people are right.
On closer inspection, if the bottom two lines are “left right left right / ba start”, the first line isn’t “up up down down”. The words have the right number of letters, but the first two words end in “t”, and the first and third letters of the next pair of words are the same.
I think you guys are right.
This is a subset of the Skyward Sword Hylian font: Specifically the lower half of each rune. Some runes represent two or more letters: such as T and P;
The message decodes to “Up up down down left right left right ba start”, which refers to a cheat code to ‘get nine lives’, known as the Konami code?
Since I dont play videogames, it took a few hints to sort it out. Then logged in and noticed you already were onto it, Dahan!
According to Wiki, it looks as if this code does different things in different games. In some, it’s a life extender, in others, it blows up your own ship. Yet variations of it apparently can power up the ship.
But he is still glowing a little, so maybe (I really hope) there’s hope they can bring him back. Maybe Google can translate the book and they can find a spell to reverse what they did…without R.O.B around, of course.
And the “Wiggle” of his little arm stump in the second panel is so adorable. Those little touches are one of the things I love about this comic. Now bring Harvey back! (╥_╥)
If you think google is evil, can’t imagine what you would think of Activision and EA(if you google evil, they come up and are mostly likely run by a super villain)?
. The most useful calendar app I have ever used was made by google.
. The geo mapping tool I use every day at work is by google.
. Google is the go-to search for whenever I want to learn about something new.
. When I get stuck on my Python code, I turn to google, and out pops an answer from some website.
. Google powers my browser, my phone, and my gmail, and ties a lot of the websites I use together with common identities.
. Google makes my coffee and feeds my cat every morning.
. Google helps me with my homework
. Google keeps my car from rusting, and helps little old ladies cross the road while updating their blog.
. Whats not to like about Google??
There is a company called Lumicorp that plans on using google to create cyborg tech that connects to the internet, and wants to know our every thought, and to punish us for thinking we can rebel against them.
Maybe the April fools prank is making us THINK that this is the April Fools prank.. when in reality, it wasnt the April Fools prank at all… Rather… the… Prank… — April… Prank….
I think really it’s an april fool day’s joke : Tim has said , there is some weeks , he writes scenarios of strips days before to draw . He has noticed this one would be released for the first of april and written all to make a joke for the occasion
For the ones knowing this comic “Twokind” , the drawer had made an april fool day joke too : he had made five or six strips in this sense and revealed the “end” for the 1st of april . All readers have been caught in ^^
Frankly, there really isn’t anything to worry about with Harvey.He hardly would teach them a spell that would kill him,and even if they DID accidentally gank him-wouldn’t the same grimoire have a spell to bring him back?Summon undead (using his skull for a focus)should dothe trick!
Just look at Prequel, there was one character that was doing fine, about to help the main character, then he gets robbed. He negotiates with the troll robbing him, and the troll is about to let him go. He then suggests something to the troll, and the troll instantly kills him.
I hope Nintendo don’t find this site. Else they might want 40% of your income.
As DexTheDragonsaid some days ago:
If you think google is evil, can’t imagine what you would think of Activision and EA(if you google evil, they come up and are mostly likely run by a super villain)?
I say Nintendo is more evil as they want money from youtubers as to EA have a program that pays money to promote their stuff. I know people who work at EA and they are happy there. Sure they screw up. But people tend to over react on the web.
Wow…um…usually to get a total protonic reversal you need a proton arc riding off of another proton arc, there’s some mass-to-antimass conversion, and a pair annihilation event going up like a small nuke.
Which, if you’re too close, pretty much stops life instantaneously and causes every molecule in your body to explode at the speed of light. But if the math works out and there’s enough distance between you and the reversal event, there’s a very slim chance you’ll survive.
Gosh durn you Tom! x.x my poor heart
Wait… is the ghost of Uncle Scooby what was possessing ROB?
OH NO! HARVEY IS DEAD! At first I thought you would do an April Fools’ Day post and was looking forward to it, then I read this and thought it was real, and then I read the description. 😀
You actually made me worried for a second there.
just because someone says “happy april first” doesn’t make it a joke. Had he said “happy april fools day!” then yes it would probably have been a joke, but he didn’t.
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *GASPS* WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *GASPS AGAIN* WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
On the bright side, at least they have a cool skull to use in their next Halloween costume. 😛
A cubone, perhaps?
Kade dressed as a trainer with Harvey’s skull as a Cubone sock puppet?
Gross! I still can’t believe you killed Harvey
Nuuuuu! not Harvey!!!
You just forgot what day was this posted on, didn’t you? 😛
still doesn’t make it an april fools joke
And I was using my Stitch voice for him!
The word “Oops” comes to mind.
Welp good game guys time to summon the dead
And yet no one is bothered that Google is able to Text to Speech an entire Arcanic Language…
They updated it for April Fools Day.
there’s no they you dumbass. Savestate is made by one person and that is Tim Weeks.
Fairly certain that was a joke about Google doing an April fools update.
“They” is also used to represent a singular person, while not stating a male or female gender behind the word.
There’s absolutely no reason to be a jerk about things, especially since you’re in the wrong here, as Volkenus stated…
He is a more accurate term for singular then they, and google didn’t update because I, like every other person with access to the internet, used google that day.

OOO u cussin
Wow, coming back to reread the comic this many years later, and this comment still hits hard lmao
well someone at google has to speak it then or have a dictionary
Was it me, or that spell is Python code in Daedric language? õwo
That is most certainly not Daedric. At least, not the Daedric I learned from playing Morrowind.
Does look familiar though.
It seems to be the Konami code, although I have no idea what script it’s written in. It does seem familiar though.

You got it. For whatever reason Manga Studio cut off the top of the Ancient Hylian font but instead of fighting it I just went with it.
It does look CLOSE to Daedric, but it’s not quite the same. Maybe it’s dragon!>:3
Logically , Harvey’s skull disappears with him , no ?
Happy april day ^^
I don’t think that was Harvey’s actual skull. I believe he was just wearing a rabbit’s skull.
Then why could Kade not see the floating skull before? His contacts didn’t filter out the hoodie or controller when Harvey had those
Oh no , i understand now by seeing the “haunting” soul leave ROB : there is the same light ***** to Harvey’s skull
It means Harvey is “haunting” the skull (maybe his one when alive ?)
Wwwwwwwwwwhoops.
You killed Harvey! You monster!!
But he is still glowing a little, so maybe (I really hope) there’s hope they can bring him back. Maybe Google can translate the book and they can find a spell to reverse what they did…without R.O.B around, of course.

I would just like to say that the new artwork for voting on TWC makes me think of the Gallifrax universe in Housepets!.
I really like the expressions, your really good at making different ones.
AAHHHHHHH…oh wait gosh darn you Tom! Harvey ;n; <\3 also lovely April fools almost forgot it was today..
doesn’t make it an april fools, he uploads on wednesdays and it just happened to be a wednesday. Also his name is TIM, not Tom
Okay? Don’t see why you are not being so humorous but I get your point? 😛 anyway yeah big mistake sorry Tim!
NP ;3
And I can’t see why I should be humorous 😛
(Also on mobile phone auto corrections)
Google is truly the closest thing we have to a super villain corporation
why’s that?
Google just rented NASA. It’s not like they’re planing to put anything evil in orbit…
Hang on you can rent NASA?
With enough money you can rent anything.
If you think google is evil, can’t imagine what you would think of Activision and EA(if you google evil, they come up and are mostly likely run by a super villain)?
Or you could just rent SpaceX and do it yourself.

I am actually serious about this, unfortunately.
So the portal to hammer space exists in that collar of hers it seems
Just like Link. Put the Iron Boots on your feet and you sink, put them in your pocket and you float!
No, no, no! Bring them both back! Think of the Shenanigans that those two could get into! It would be like Tom and Jerry style comedy 😀
Noo poor Harvey :<
Meet the Spy comes to mind.
Is total protonic reversal anything like crossing the streams? (never played D&D but I’ve seen a few movies)
it removes all supernatural things in an area around the caster, in this case rob and harvey
Im more concerned of the fact they dont seem worried they killed Harvey… i mean really is my ghost rabbit friend poofed from a spell i would worry!
Well ****. Now they’ll have to use a resurrection stone and those aren’t cheap
You killed Harvey.
More importantly, why are video games using REAL magic symbols?!
I just realized that it was Google Translate that told Nicole she was never playing a magic user in D&D
Maybe it was Harvey, now haunting Nicole’s phone. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Prank phone calls, anyone? 😉
Actually, it’s supposed to be Kade. Poorly placed word bubble on my part.
QUICK, PLAY THE SONG OF HEALING!
Aww, and you chipped poor Harvey’s tooth as well!
Harvey….. :`(
You, see, the name of the comic is called “Save State”. So we just have to “Load State” :p
I guess that just depends in which state they last saved, Sphen ~
You see, it’s a simple rule. If something non-bad happens, save state, if something bad happens, load state.
Now to just *tap* OOPS I PRESSED SAVE STATE INSTEAD OF LOAD STATE DARNIT
Now maybe Harvey can finally…
(•_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
…rest in peace.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
booo
Harvey will be back! He can’t just disappear like that 😛
Who are they gonna call?
Ghostbusters ^_^
….Well!
It’s a good thing that Harvey has a sense of humor about these sorts of things.
(!)
Maybe the April fools prank is making us THINK that this is the April Fools prank.. when in reality, it wasnt the April Fools prank at all… Rather… the… Prank… — April… Prank….
I broke it.
I think really it’s an april fool day’s joke : Tim has said , there is some weeks , he writes scenarios of strips days before to draw . He has noticed this one would be released for the first of april and written all to make a joke for the occasion
Not the first comics drawer making it ^^
doubt it
For the ones knowing this comic “Twokind” , the drawer had made an april fool day joke too : he had made five or six strips in this sense and revealed the “end” for the 1st of april . All readers have been caught in ^^
Also the fact that this years April Fools day joke was making everyone think there was a comic, but in reality, there was no April Fools Day comic. 😀

– Harvey , are you dead ?
– No ; no , i’m not
– You sure ?
– Yes
– Really ?
– yea , all is fine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98qmflLdOpI
NO! Harvey No!! Wait… this was updated April 1st… hmm suspicious!
I expected you to use dragon language from the elder scrolls or something. I was wrong.
Kade has ranks in Spellcraft and Knowledge[Arcana]?
Someone had to. Nicole put all her skill points into Intimidate.
Well, oops.
Frankly, there really isn’t anything to worry about with Harvey.He hardly would teach them a spell that would kill him,and even if they DID accidentally gank him-wouldn’t the same grimoire have a spell to bring him back?Summon undead (using his skull for a focus)should dothe trick!
HARRRRVEYYY! NOOOOO! :___-(
The best proof of a joke is the name of the strip “Happy April 1st”
If Tim wanted to let us in the doubt : “Joke , no joke ?” He would have chosen an usual strip name ^_^
OUPS ; mistake from my part ^^”
I wasn’t still totally awaken ^^” ^^”
But i think really it’s an april fool day joke . Tim wouldn’t “kill”a so famous character ^_^
Actually, the name of the strip is “Total Protonic Reversal”. Tim just commented, “Happy April 1st”.
And never underestimate the cruelty of a comic artist. It was funny before Harvey, and it could be funny after.
I know “serial” movies and comics having lost a lot of viewers/readers just by having kicked out or killed a main character X_X
Just look at Prequel, there was one character that was doing fine, about to help the main character, then he gets robbed. He negotiates with the troll robbing him, and the troll is about to let him go. He then suggests something to the troll, and the troll instantly kills him.
You guys look at the green around harveys skull and then look at the “ghost” that goes into ROB maybe harvey took over ROB?
Not a “ghost” going into ROB ; but more a “ghost” leaving it , i think ^^”
Yeah, I really liked Soul Reaver.
https://youtu.be/TuVRUZwAX8U?t=6m10s
Harvey broke his tooth? Is dentist nearby?
Aww, poor Harvey. Will it survive, doctor?
So… … … … Either this is a very good April Fools joke, or… well… oops! Sorry Harvey!
inb4 harvey just teleported somewhere or got put into spiritual sleep in one of the books
Love the feral Kade and Nicole on TWC.
All you need is the pair of them playing tug of war with a Harvey or Cubone plush toy.
D’aw. That’s a great idea.
Thanks.
Changing my name to Thecolliefan
Never mind I got my icon to work.
Oh my Celestia! Harvey is DEAD! Err… Undead… un-undead?… Re-undead?
Never mind, anyway Nichole! You need to check your area of effect on your spells! Especially when friendly fire is on!
In DBZ, if someone who is already dead is killed again, they’re erased from existence. 🙁
Even if Harvey’s power level is over 9000?!
Well, it was nice knowing you Harvey.
LOL! No one else reads the user manual??
I hope Nintendo don’t find this site. Else they might want 40% of your income.

109 comments, this comic is reaching an all time high in activity. It’s wonderful to see it go from 40 to 109.
