Cyphoderus posted:As with all other things in this comic, I think it's a bit too simplistic to say it has a theme of "magic versus technology". That's what it looks like at first glance, but that's way too... banal, too easy of a symbolic leap. So far pretty much everything in this comic has way more layers than what we first thought. From Jeanne to the robots to Ysengrim, Tom never takes the easy way out. Putting "nature" and "science" on opposing sides and making them duke it out is an easy way out in my opinion. Coyote can give Reynardine the ability to chase after his love, but he can't make her love real when it isn't. Diego, similarly, can give life to as many of his windup children as he can imagine, but he can never give back the life he stole. The Donlans casually keep around a literal miracle computer capable of shooting off whatever to Annie's dad wherever he is, but they can't close the distance between an estranged father and daughter. They can't tell Annie why he left, what he's doing, or whether "He still loves you very much" actually means anything. This is the thing that needs to be dealt with.

I hope we get some sort of follow up of Anthony receiving the package, I'm curious as to how that's going to work. Gunnerkrigg has moved it's way up to the first comic I check for updates on during the week, and I'm gonna get myself an avatar once I can find the perfect "What am I reading here" sort of frame.

Well, etheric means would be a decently handwavey thing to provide the energy for that. However, Kat was able to make anti-gravity in complete ignorance of etheric means being A Thing so who knows!

Thankyou for the reminder. It's funny how far she's come from being that robot to the delighted glee she has in my avatar. She still beeps though. Edit:   And for those who want disapproving glares at their own posts!

Avatar faeries are tricky little buggers. Seriously, I hope at this point there are quite a few of them because this is getting to be a lot for just one person. But enough of that, "What?" avatar club!

So I was looking at the big avatar post and noticed that no one was really making any avatars of good Mr. Donlan. So, now we have plenty:            And also one of young Donny:  (Once again, if you are an avatar fairy, I'd prefer to keep my current one. Thanks.) Edit: I am really tempted to give myself one of these now, though... that fifth one is the perfect "frustrated at posting" expression. Ugh, and the first one is pretty much my favorite page of the comic.   drat you good art, making me want to spend money!Edit2: gently caress it, consider me part of the club. lesbian baphomet fucked around with this message at 04:17 on Apr 10, 2012 |

I just noticed there is a complete lack of Ysengrin avatars! Which is a shame cos I kind of want one... I haven't a clue how you guys are making them though, and I am terrible with computers. If someone could take pity on me and turn one of his headshots (eg on 498?) into an avatar-sized image I would be very grateful!
