History ScheduleSlip / WebComics

* Painful in ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}'', where the strip, meant to run on a three-year schedule corresponding to school years, suffered numerous delays in the final year, forcing the author to backdate new strips, until giving up and writing a "strip" saying in text what happened between the most recent strip and graduation. And even that was lacking, especially compared to what was given to the readers before.

* [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Lewis Lovhaug's]] webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}}'' was always sort of erratic in its update schedule, often posting filler strips and missing the Wednesday update, and in December 2011, posted its first update in over a year. This is ironic when you consider that WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall itself is well known for having probably ''the'' most consistent schedule of any Channel Awesome series (in four years, Lewis has missed his self-imposed Monday night deadline less than a dozen times and actually skipped a week only once or twice).[[note]] This isn't counting the weeks where Lewis decides to riff on public domain PSA films from TheFifties in place of reviewing a comic book; hell or high-water, ''something'' from him will get uploaded Monday night or Tuesday morning.[[/note]]

* ''Webcomic/SweetLullaby'', a ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'' adenture/fantasy fan-webcomic, suffered a years long hiatus due to a series of ''really'' bad luck which involved a broken computer and one of the creators' [[FromBadToWorse getting their backpack stolen containing the original script]] forcing a re-write of the entire story from memory alone. While things did get better with a 2017 relaunch of the comic, its readers, which consisted of HTF diehard fans from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, [[FleetingDemographic had all but moved on or grew up]] as the reception to each page being uploaded has been lukewarm at best. On the bright side, the creators were determined to finish the story this time around.

* Obscure ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' WidgetSeries webcomic ''Swageon and Glacigeon'' has had two after the beginning of a season.

* ''Webcomic/MyImpossibleSoulmate'': Chapter 3 was initially planned to start on June 28th, but would be pushed back to July 5th to let [[Creator/JocelynSamara the author]] deal with some wrist pain.

** After [[http://chrispco.blogspot.com/2010/06/happy-post-better-than-whiny-post.html Christopher was accepted into grad school for sequential art]] the strip temporarily scaled back to MWF updates, with ''Copper Road'' being put on hiatus altogether, but daily updates and the spinoff strip have since returned.

* ''Webcomic/TeamFortressTwo'' was supposed be done and dusted in 2013. Only issues #1 and #2 were released that year with a four-month gap between them. #3 and #4 were released in 2014 with an eight-month gap between them while #5 was released in 2015 and #6 in ''2017'' with #7 still TBD.

* ''Comicbook/{{PS238}}'' started out updating on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule and stayed that way for many years. Starting in 2015, after it stopped publishing as a regular comic book and went to a web-only format, its updates slowed down to averaging one new page every one to four ''months'', with the occasional longer gap.

* ''The Saga of Earthsong'' started out at two days a week before running into occasional hiatuses. It now painfully creeps ahead at about one page a week, made only the more excruciating because two years into the comic's storyline, a publishing deal led the author to decide to ''completely'' reboot the entire comic...publishing at an even slower pace then it originally started. So despite cutting a tremendous amount of filler and excess exposition, the update schedule means the comic has actually taken ''longer'' to get to the exact same point in the storyline that it was at when the story was rebooted.

** Clevinger grew defensive after one of those update-less weeks, the result of computer issues at his new home. "I've given you eight years of some of the most consistent[[labelnote:*:[[SelfDeprecation terrible work is still consistent work]]]] work you've seen online. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a little patience from you here, in the final hours, when I miss an update for the simple reason that it's impossible to make one. Thank you."

* ''Webcomic/{{Angels2200}}'' has gone through periods of dormancy over the years; the most recent one started in July 2011 after an announcement of family health issues (which as of December 2014 remains the last non-strip communication of any sort from the artist). One single strip was posted in December of the same year, then another in June of 2013, and then a longer spurt of activity in summer 2014 before silence fell once again.

* ''Adventures In Ninja Cookery''[[labelnote:*]](not to be confused with ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'')[[/labelnote]] never had an official schedule, but the author said he would try for once a week. Updates have taken as long as fifty days to be released.
