Hello, Nick Wright here. Treading Ground has concluded - for now. The archive stands here for your reading enjoyment, but if you'd like to see what I'm up to these days, you can visit me here:
Mastodon - Trying this as my main social media for now
Twitter - I'm still sort of active here until it inevitably goes splat
DeviantArt - I've been on here forever, so I guess I may as well stay??
Pixiv - I mostly just post fanart here, anything else seems to flop
I've also been doing some videos -
Trash Panda Vegan - I did a cooking show! If you're tired of paying $12 a carton for eggs (idk I haven't bought any in years), come check out my tofu scramble recipe.
The Idle State - My attempt at a John Oliver-style show. I got one episode in and realized I needed to focus on comics again! I'll pick it up again eventually.
That SciFi Guy - Yes, we are still doing this!
Thanks for stopping by!

It’s over? NOOOOooo…….. It was fun, good job man. I’m planing on makin my own comic, and this was a good read.

sjcodan
Oh, and I’ve always wanted to say this.
LAST! GOOD NIGHT!
Ryan
I just read the entire series. Dude, you seriously need to start this comic up again! It was awesome from start to finish. I would love to read the ongoing adventures of the cast of this comic.
DJ
i agree with Ryan this comic was the shit the whole way through
Nicholas
Any chance of the treading ground being published or sold in book form, or at least a PDF downloadable? :3
Geoff
Man i seriously just read the whole entire series in a day. Great comic that can even stand up to QC. I really do love QC and im still an active follower, but its always nice to find a comic that is enjoyable as Treading Grounds. Too bad its over :/ It was really one of the best ive read in a long time. Please get back to writing these!

Like a dilusional Firefly fan I wait patiently for another season
Big Bear
Nick, just re-read this again, probably the third or fourth time, love the story, love the characters, start it again, dooooo eeeet 🙂
Ben
Well, I just read the whole damn thing in one sitting. Definitely worth it. The characters were pretty human and I grew fond of them. And the ending was pretty good too. Wouldn’t mind more though – if it were ever to come to it.
As we say in Norway; a thousand thanks, and have it nicely.
Stompinstein
Just re-read this for the fourth time. I’m sad this didnt continue. I hope you get back to comics soon. I really enjoyed Peached when you were still doing it.
martin
Just found this comic and read it all in one night. Great story. Would be a great film or series too. Good that youve kept it online after the ending.
Greetings from Europe!
Nick Wright
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks!
Aidan
I’m not gonna lie, many web comics that try to do this twisted romance crap usually go with a lot of overused stereotypical plot twists but you have done a fantastic job with your comic!! I better see more of this comic in the future.
Nick Wright
Thank you Aidan! Keep your eyes peeled – more news soon.
Chris
What ever happened to the idle state? It seems the website doesn’t exist anymore
Nick Wright
I’m keeping the TIS and Peached comics offline until I figure out what I want to do with them.
Darkling
Just read it and loved it!
DaftCapybara
I just got here to say this too. I remember reading this when it was updating and then forgot after i had to hard reset my computer. just found it again. wonderful work hope to see more someday.
Nick Wright
Glad you both enjoyed it! Thanks, and never count me out. New stuff is still in the works.
Mike
Nick,
You have to do a jello wrestling rematch between Miranda and Tracy! Please!
Mike

abe
First time poster, long time reader. This comic was fantastic. While I understand the clear need for things just to end and leaving at a high note for the main caracters. I miss the comic, I wish there was more to read.
Nick Wright
Thanks, Abe! This kind of stuff means a hell of a lot to me, and I’m really glad you’re still thinking about TG after all this time.
I am actually working on a huge new TG project for 2022, so stay tuned!
Jakub
Did re read after those long 11 years It was an awesome ride. Thank you Nick for it.
Nick Wright
Thanks Jakub! I’m so glad you remember TG and still get enjoyment out of it.
Justin
First off, just as good a reread as the first time. I’m a little lost, I thought there was a followup comic, but I can’t find it anywhere? Any help?
Nick Wright
Thanks Justin, glad you enjoyed it!!
I did do a couple of follow-up comics for this that didn’t quite get off the ground. They’re not online currently but I’m working to make them available soon. I should have info on that and some other big news by October.

Content Advisory
The original Treading Ground comics were created between 2003 and 2011. As such, you'll find some unfortunate hallmarks of raunchy comedies of the time. These include casual misogyny, dubious sexual situations, insensitive edgelord humor and a character using the r-slur.
While these are not typically portrayed as positive, it's definitely not how I would write the comic today, and you should know that going in. That said, there's still a lot of good stuff here.
There's also some nudity. Consider the whole comic NSFW!
