comic first went up on webcomic nation. the upload dates on comicfury are not reflective of the original upload dates. wayback machine suggests jan or feb 2011 for the start [1] [2], and the fact it was not yet complete on webcomic nation in jan 2013 [3] and that it was uploaded in 100+ page batches a day to comicfury starting dec 30 2013 [4] suggests it was finished sometime that year
