And, guess what! That very thing happened, years later, as the comic was rebooted in 2017, now with Sarah Andersen as artist. [[https://tapas.io/episode/662806 The new comic]] is found on Tapastic and seems to be adapting the original plotline rather faithfully. Unfortunately, a portion of the comic is behind a paywall, but at least you no longer need an Android or iOS app to unlock it.

The author [[http://www.reddit.com/r/sciencefiction/comments/1wwjol/i_am_andy_weir_author_of_the_egg_and_the/ has since said]] he doesn't intend to continue it, and has given up on drawing comics unless he decides to hire a professional artist.
