I always assumed it was kaput due to artist distraction/boredom. Indeed, “that is not dead” etc., but really, the territory has largely been taken over since then.
Have you seen “Unspeakable Vault of Doom?” http://www.goominet.com/unspeakable-vault/ It’s pretty erratic these days (the cartoonist has an unreal job for which they’re much in demand), but still gets occasional entries.
We’re getting to the point that my prediction from earlier (that Aimee will steal Nick’s body) is going to be put to the test. I don’t have a terribly great track record in this department, but on the offchance I’m right, I imagine we’ll get a strip where Virginia flirts with Aimee-as-Nick, which Aimee will naturally be oblivious to (even more so than Nick might have been!) This will be followed by Virginia confiding in Mustachio or Gavotte or somesuch-“I thought there was something there…”
Just to keep them straight, looks like Team Mangler have rabbit avatars (okay, they do jump), Camazotz is a cat (randomly savages unsuspecting humans *), and Mike would be the deer (idunno, too dumb for his own good? Taller, anyhoo).
(*) Fangs not visible yet, but then there’s that “by uploading myself, I shall be free!”
Then again, they were only enemies as competitors, and they now have a certain respect for Nick, since he defeated them all without actually damaging them. So maybe they do want to give him jellybeans. What that really means here is anyone’s guess.
You know, I can’t tell if that cord’s just wrapped across his face or is going up his nose. I’m assuming either the latter (Dave and Helen demonstrated years ago that digitization of a human involved a wire up the nose), or that the state-of-the-art in makeshift brain-computer interfaces has improved in the years since that story arc in Narbonic.
We’re heading into “Hello Cthulhu” territory… has it updated in the last… decade? My first all-read webcomic…

More likely “wait, you’re not even blushing! Who are you and what are you doing with my experiment/boyfriend’s body!”
Shoot me now…
That’s Nick’s line….

I think those are current residents, not Team Sort of Evil. None of them would be interested in offering Nick jellybeans.

Rabbit droppings look like jellybeans, if you squint.
Hang in there, Nick! This place will start feeling good and natural to you in no time. Once a Whimsy Princess always a Whimsy Princess. ^_~
Why does this feel like a threat?
2nd panel t-shirt!
Dunno, but the fourth panel shirt is what Nick wore the last time he was in VR Whimsey World.
I think the third panel would be a great tee.
I see my epitaph there. Lived and died looking stupid.
Okay, if Aimee is in charge of this VR world, what the heck happened to it? I would have expected an arcade, not a Whimsy adventure.
Clearly, Aimee is no longer in charge…
What happened to the late-nineties period Whimsey World we all know and love from Nick’s last sojourn there?
They added an Animal Kingdom
wait, so that means he will swear in whimsyworld?

Looks like it’s just around his head. Sort of like a radio antenna.
(And I believe it was just Dave who used a cable up his nose. Helen always favoured electrodes driven into the skull… even when it was her own skull.)
