Hey there. As most of you familiar with the site probably know, kiwisbybeat went down early this year. Various series were recovered over the first few months, but a number of comics remain missing and recoveries slowed to a halt.
Until a few weeks ago, when someone provided the first 244 pages of Modern Fried Snake to the Kiwis by Beat mirror kiwisbymirror(dot)rf(dot)gd (about 20% of the series).
Since it's a nice amount for a storytime and people might not have heard that much MFS is now available again, I'll dump it all here today.
>(about 20% of the series) Fuck. I never even got to finish

Well, the series wasn't finished, far as I know. I meant 20% of the series that had been completed by the time he disappeared.

>kiwisbybeat went down
What happened? Never heard of them before so just curious

Kiwis by Beat was a webcomic site by a single artist that had numerous series, drawn and written in different styles. The most famous, minus, was done from 2006-2008 and was nominated for an Eisner. It had been updating mostly continuously since 2006, settling on a monthly schedule at some point.
There hasn't been any conclusive explanation why the site went down, other than the fact that the artist didn't pay his hosting bill. He had updated through the month prior.
Nobody's been able to contact him, and there are rumors that he was evicted from his apartment later on too.

this comic in particular is why the vanishing is so tragic. this seemed like a really worthwhile story that was building to something great, a potential classic on par with Minus, but with much more meaning compared to minus being pretty much single-page gags.
do we still have no idea what happened to the guy? i don't know whether death or artist tantrum would be worse.

And that's all of chapters 1-3 & first intermission. If anyone out there has more of the missing pages, please go to the mirror site posted in the op and leave a link in the comments section.
John King
Thanks for the storytime user.
Cameron Watson
Thanks for storytiming user! Really charming comic
Daniel Hughes
RYAN COME BACK
IT HURTS SO MUCH WHY WHY WHY GOD WHY
Ok, with that out of the way, thank you OP.
Joseph Miller
Story needs more of this awesome guy.
Levi Bennett
He's in one of the random later pages we have.

i dunno, he put a lot of work into it, but it was easily my least favorite. I guess there's something i don't "get" about it.. there's something neat about how a lot of the art is one continuous line, and the girl is cute, but this comic doesn't do it for me. my favorite will always be Ribald Youth
Question: does the author even considers continuing this?
Brayden James
the author hasn't done anything since april
Ryder Martin
Okay, so the answer is "WE DON'T KNOW".
When you think about it, it's way better than "never ever".
Parker Peterson
there's a big difference.
The author has gone MIA and the website was lost
Oliver Reed
Well, hope is still not dead.
Connor Scott
Thank you user, never heard of this comic before but really enjoyed this thread.
Jack Johnson
If you enjoyed this comic, you'd probably enjoy "The Mildly Inconvenient Journey of Pelen Purul". A shorter comic by the same artist that's complete, and completely (though not perfectly) preserved.
