List of Hsu and Chan Comics - 1UP.com Comics

1UP.com Comics

On December 22, 2008, began running on 1UP.com. Like the Spookingtons comics, these comics are ongoing serials that are broken into smaller strips. The comics are viewable on Hsu and Chan's 1UP.com blog.

On September 7, 2009, Norm announced that due to 1Up.com's financial situation, the Hsu and Chan blog will be ending on September 30, 2009, after which the comic will continue on Spookingtons.

The comic ends with the trio walking into the distance, bringing the Hsu and Chan 1up blog to a close.
