Hi, guys! I joined the forum hoping that someone could help me find my favorite webcomic, Reptilis Rex by "William Tallman" (actually Paul Southworth, creator of Lake Gary and some other comics). I followed the comic from about 2012 to sometime in the late 2010s, when it inexplicably disappeared. The domain, reptilisrex.com, is now a completely unrelated Indonesian site.
Luckily, I happened to save some strips to my device (fifteen total). As far as I know, these strips plus the image on the TV Tropes article are the only parts of the comic that still exist today. Here are some examples:
(Unfortunately, I'm not able to share all of them. Imgur keeps saying I "can't upload that type of file" even though they're all jpegs. Not sure what that's about.)
The comic has a Twitter account, @reptilisrex, but it has been inactive since 2015. The author has a personal account, @southworth, but outside of some promotional tweets from 2011-2014, he hasn't acknowledged the strip at all. About a year ago, I sent him a DM and an email asking about Reptilis Rex, but he didn't respond.
I tried to access reptilisrex.com on the Wayback machine, but I got one of those "contact your ISP" error messages. I'm not very tech/web-savvy, though, so maybe I just didn't do it right.
Can anyone help me find the rest of the strip? I'm not sure how many strips there are total, but I'm guessing 150-200. I want to put together a complete archive, if at all possible. What's weird is that the comic was active for years and seemed to be building up to a finale, but then... poof. Nothing.
