Kamlen looks like a super-smooth fellow. Also reminds me a bit of Jack, though I'm not sure why.

As soon as it is possible I'm commissioning Tom to do a series of prints wherein cityface walks into zimmy's mouth.

Warning: Chibisoma parody ahead Really. I'm going to start magically liking Kamlen and the fact that Tom's ensured we won't get anything resembling a Kat/Annie end? Great, one more boring-rear end elf/human romance. Tons of potential lost and for what? Because Tom didn't feel like taking any chances. That's for the two designated 'weird' kids in the comic, huh? Can't have the human characters interested in each other, despite all the little hints (and sometimes not so little ones) dropped all over the place. Must make them straight, boring, and ensure they wind up with the worst characters in the comic. Yeah, tell me what there is to look forward to with this couple, hoss. You seem to be all for it. Kamlen's the most boring lead in any romance since Chiba Mamoru from Sailormoon. : There's not a single interesting (or redeeming) thing about him and yet it's looking increasingly like Annie's going to end up with him. Because Annie got Forest Fever, that's why. God forbid GCC take a chance with anything. Nope, must conform to the status quo and leave that monospecies poo poo to the weirdo characters, right? Yeah, no. gently caress you and gently caress Tom. I guess it's nice he made a 'please stop reading my webcomic, it's becoming like any other teen romance strip' arc though. Real considerate-like. Always good to see straightforward, boring fuckin' romance blooming. And at the end, Annie'll die in the river, and Kat'll be there to mope around and build all the robots or some other stereotypically generic thing. Because the kids must be like the court founders, always and forever. VVV Tell you what I'll spoiler it. FunkyAl fucked around with this message at 04:31 on May 12, 2012 |

The fire crown is symbolic. I wonder if the elf hug is as well. I guess we'll find out in a couple of pages, though. Annie's eyes are closed this whole time, too; I wonder if that means anything (aside from "her eyes are apparently closed in the hospital bed").

Annie recalls having such happy times with the elf family because those are the memories they planted after keeping her hypnotized the entire time in an attempt to pry Coyote's magic out of her living brain. Calling it now.

Calling it now. At least, that's what they want Annie to think. In fact, it was all just part of Coyote's master plan to take over Gunnerkrigg Court. Phase one of Operation Doppel-Jeanne-er.

Coyote having a master plan implies Coyote does anything for a reason other than whimsy or boredom, and that's just a world I don't want to live in.  Also god damnit, I had blocked ChibiSoma from my mind completely. I still groan whenever I see him post somewhere.

I've always figured that if Coyote even thinks more than an hour ahead the plan he is concocting was set in motion so long ago and will continue for so far into the future that even his fellow forest gods cannot comprehend it, and the goal of all this seemingly endless scheming will be to create the ideal conditions on earth for Salmon to turn green instead of pink or something for no other reason than his own amusement.

Well, I finally got around to reading this thing in the past two days. I cannot say I am disappointed in the least, and cannot for the life of me figure out why I didn't start reading it sooner. I think I will wait a bit, but this might also justify changing avatars too

^^^^^ Gooble gobble! Gooble gobble! One of us! One of us! EDIT: Although not everybody is an instant fan. Over in the Making Comics thread: Symbolic Butt posted:No no, talk about how much a pedophile you are for drawing a comic with young girls in it. In an ironic/self-depreciating way. It's great. Quetzal-Coital posted:What are you referencing here? Symbolic Butt posted:Gunnerkrigg Court dude. I hope he got better about this because jesus christ.

Ape Has Killed Ape posted:Isn't that the guy who's avatar is a cartoon girls butt (ironically, I'm sure)? We should get him and chibisoma together sometime. A symbolic butt. Her/his title's a reference to a bit of drama that went on around Aaron Diaz a few years ago, where he tried to justify making the protagonist's butt the focus of his comic page by saying the camera angle was deeply meaningful to her relationship with the other characters. It was really dumb and one of the things that lost Diaz a bit of credibility at the time. I don't know what Symbolic Butt (the poster) was referring to there. I've never seen Tom make those kind of comments, but then I'd also forgotten GC used to do guest weeks. It could be that SB has some wires crossed, or it could be that it's distant history. Either way, who cares?

That's how it usually goes down. Someone will make a stupid comment without knowing what they are talking about, then other people see it and think it's true. Before long I'm the pedophile that secretly wishes he was a little girl. It's happened plenty of times before. The only reason I'd even reply to it now is because I'd hoped that kind of thing wouldn't happen here on SA.

I imagine its one of those comments that's kind of inescapable when you draw or write something focused around children/teenagers. Especially now with Kat's whole deal.

The guy was making a point that Tom sometimes lets comments like that get to him and new authors shouldn't let that happen. It wasn't worded properly and we assumed exactly the opposite of what he meant. Crysis averted, goons are still intelligent people you can debate things with. And yes, there are a lot of lovely people on the Internet who'll glance at GC and go "lol, teenage comic about girls, must be lesbians, guy is pedo lolololol". But gently caress them. It's not like that sort of people will ever achieve anything in life. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 16:23 on May 13, 2012 |
