Your comic is great and all but come on! You haven't updated in almost a year and your still in one of the top spots. Don't you feel a tiny bit obligated to put up anew page? c'mon, please? -Posted on Nov 28, 2008

I feel the same as many of the rest. It would be nice to have some sort of knowledge about the state of the comic. I understand being busy and all, but it can only take a couple of minutes so say whether or not there will be an update anytime soon.

Craving Control has had no new activity since March. It has been over a month since anyone has even made a comment about the comic itself. Someone has to pull the plug.

Howdy CC, Nothing smartass in this post. I just want to say that we all hope that things are either good or improving in your life. As you can see, there are a lot of us out here who really enjoy Lalia's adventures and are hoping that you find the time and motivation to continue them soon. Until then, we'll continue to wait patiently. Thanks for letting us meet Lalia in the first place. -Posted on Aug 22, 2008

Sorry, but someone has to point out the obvious here... Ballira is the Devil! Well, okay... Maybe not ACTUALLY the DEVIL, but still... Anyone who recommends Lalia's chest be made smaller is clearly evil. Remember, ink and/or pixels don't weigh as much as cellular tissue, so Lalia's chest wouldn't bother your back one teeny tiny bit! :-) -Posted on Aug 10, 2008

@worstcase: I hate WG fiction, but this is entertaining as a college life/comedy/romance comic. -Posted on Aug 09, 2008

User: DFWRebel
Howdy worstcase, Your question sounded sincere, so I'll give you a straight answer, just as jauntx did. I have always been attracted to large women, and especially to women who are getting larger. Lalia fits into that flawlessly. She does that because cravingcontrol obviously understands this idea, how a sexy woman who consistantly overeats can become sexier. He does a brilliant job of presenting a fun story in a fun way. In other words, its a fun read, skillfully illustrated, featuring a subject I enjoy. I read it because it's fun! And I use the present tense because I have a child-like optimism that cravingcontrol will eventually start writing Lalia's adventures again one day... -Posted on Aug 08, 2008

And does anyone else think that it's not just a coincidence that Trevor has thirteen highlighted triangles on his person on this page? Is CC trying to tell us that Trevor is Satanic? Is Trevor merely unlucky? If he were crossing Abbey Road, would he be barefoot and out of step? Did you really just go count the triangles on Trevor? What does it all mean? I DON'T KNOW!! -Posted on Aug 05, 2008

Badgers? We ain't got no badgers. We don't need no badgers. I don't have to show you any stinking badgers. I think it was the nannites that someone forgot to feed and water... They ate CC.

That's why Theil put it up here in the first place!) -Posted on Aug 05, 2008

Hi. If you want to see a pretty woman with a big belly, Aurora finally is updated. Geez, that was shameless. Sorry. I'm just desperate for readers now after a 2.7 month hiatus. I may have Aurora table dance barefoot in a jeweled microbikini on the next page. Well, if enough people ask me to. -Posted on Jul 31, 2008

User: dueeast
I think we should start noticing obscure details about the current page and go into mind-numbing detail. That might be fun...like the fact that Jane and Trevor have on the same color sweater/jacket! What is the subtle meaning here? And the trees in the first frame vaguely resemble green ice cream on skinny cones but in the last frame, they sort of resemble green cotton candy! All food references! Symbolism...or not?? -Posted on Jul 30, 2008

Thank you for the tip, Eirikr. But if we did it that way, or any of the other remote ways to tell if it has been updated, we would miss all this cheery banter between the Patient Faithful! Besides, someone has to stop by to feed and water the nannites, and let them out to go poopies. -Posted on Jul 24, 2008

It's been 1/3 of a year since the comic was updated, but it's actually been well over half a year since Lalia's last appearance. (Unless you count recycled flashback footage.) It speaks very highly of this comic's quality that so many people still frequent the site even after such a long stretch of inactivity. The good news is, I hear Lalia has been equally inactive and has spent most of 2008 overindulging in chocolate, cookies, pizza and culinary delights from her Home Economics class :). -Posted on Jul 11, 2008

Titan-- I don't purport to know CC or his situation, but I know one thing for certain--nobody is THAT busy. Real life hiccups might disrupt your leisure patterns for a few weeks, but when you start measuring updates in SEASONS, rather than days, weeks or even months, something else is going on. I'm a writer (mostly unpaid), and it's real easy for me to lose the "passion" for my art. If I get out of the routine, it's VERY difficult for me to get back into it. At that point, ANYTHING distracts me from my art. I'm pretty sure that's what has happened to CC. The good news is, I've always been able to buckle-down eventually and I'm sure CC will too. In fact, once I get back "in the zone", it's almost as difficult to get me out of it as it is to get back into it. Hopefully that will happen with CC and we'll see a flurry of production like we saw around the start of the year. Another helpful tidbit to CC or any other artist: be careful when discussing the upcoming details your story too far in advance. First of all, it whets appetites and brings about undue expectations. Secondly, and more importantly, as an artist discussing your story often kills the urge to CREATE the story. That's happened to me on more than one occasion. As excited as I was when CC started giving details about Lalia's next big binge and other episodes he had nearly canned, a part of me went, "uh-oh." All that said, I'm more than happy to wait for updates. A little Craving Control is certainly better than NO Craving Control. B-N-D -Posted on Jun 21, 2008

User: TitanOne
Bobhhh: Sometimes this real-life intrusion is tough! When you have deadlines and paycheck thingies, no matter how passionate you are about your art, the webcomic has to go on the back burners. I've been itching to draw Aurora of the High Seas AND Off Hours AND a stint on Craving Control for the past month--and haven't been able to do it. Hang in there, maybe CC and I can get it going again soon. -Posted on Jun 20, 2008

User: BearNDesert
@ Bobhhh: I certainly wouldn't say CC "doesn't give a frak about his art", but speaking as an artist myself, I know that the longer you're away from it, the harder it is to get back into it. All we can do is hope he will at some point. Still, I can't say I'm not frustrated, too. We're at the middle of the year and Lalia has appeared only once in 2008 (at least new footage). Makes me sad to think about it... B-N-D -Posted on Jun 19, 2008

I loved this strip, but i have officially lost patience. Yes I know CC doesn't exist to service us, but it's been months fercrissakes, and it's one long ass hiatus after another. If he doesn't give a frak about his art, then neither do I. -Posted on Jun 19, 2008
