It sure sounds like it. I guess he thinks they're better off keeping him as a memory and moving on with their lives or something? Still feels like he should tell them though.

Pretty much everything that happens to him since dumping Esther is weird to me and seems to be happening to a different character than the one I enjoyed reading about in SGR.

(So was dumping Esther.)

Wait, did Eustace dump Esther? I know Esther cheated on him the first week she got into college, but I thought she confessed about it and the two just awkwardly fell apart.

Has the comic ever said anything about someone getting multi-ghost bonuses? Because what if they just go all in on skin-man and turn him into a monster voltron?

Not that I know of. I'd just assumed the comic was functioning implicitly on Digimon rules: 1 person, 1monster. Whenever wild ghosts have shown up before, they tend to bee-line for non-mosterized people over trying to double tap one of the kids, from what I recall. I dunno, we might very well see what happens if someone gets hit by more than one ghost. Wouldn't it be ironic if that's what stabilizes Rjinder?

Yeah but he's the badguy and this is the final battle, so something special might happen if we're playing by anime villain rules. Then he's going to transform into a new freaky form.

I remember it happening but, well, I got into SGR for The Boy And Esther Have Cute Adventures for the most part and so I kind of starting to fall out around the time that happened and it was confirmed for me that yes, this would be about Shelly Winters forever, so I may be misremembering.

I've been doing some random-walking on Hiveworks and Webtoon and I'm gonna recommend a few of the highlights I've been finding that way. (All are pretty much SFW, because I read them during work downtime.)

StarHammer: A teenage girl in a society full of superheroes inherits an extremely powerful alien/supertech hammer from a disgraced superheroine by accident. Life gets complicated.
The Automan's Daughter: In an alternate history in which the Ottoman Empire is a world superpower and there are giant robot fighting leagues, a young woman (and niece of the head of a major robot-making company) tries to be a mechanic despite patriarchal society, a disapproving mother and sinister French plots against her family. Slow-paced but I love the art style.
Tigress Queen: A wealthy prince must marry a barbarian warrior-queen to secure a peace treaty. He has no desire to do this, and she has no respect for his country anyway. Not many pages, but it's gorgeous.
[un]Divine: An rear end in a top hat teenager on a small and extremely religious Hispanic island summons a demon at the cost of his soul, in an effort to make his life not suck. The demon is cute and helpful, except for the part where the kid pukes blood constantly now. Has a pretty neat religion that is more than the Not Catholicism it first seems to be.
My Giant Nerd Boyfriend: A journal comic about a short Chinese-Malaysian girl and her giant nerd boyfriend. Not anime in the slightest.
Just For Kicks: Slice-of-life about a Taekwondo club at some university nebulously in North America. Kind of anime.
Check Please: Slice-of-life about a tiny gay boy from Georgia joining a college hockey team in Massachusetts. Extremely cute. Uses some weird slideshow thing for its comics, which takes some getting used to.

These are both super good. My Giant Nerd Boyfriend is adorable and funny and a good light read. Check, Please! I think I ran into here in a previous Webcomics thread (jokingly called Hockey Twink, and I've accidentally called it that to friends before), and is also a SUPER good story. Early art is a bit rough but it evens out super well.

On a similar vein, I'd also recommend Green & Gold (or it's original German version Grün & Gold). Same sort of premise, only swap out Georgia college with German boarding school. It's kind of on a semi-hiatus now because the author/artist is a professional children's book illustrator in Germany, so that takes up a lot of her time now, but it's kind of cool if you want to try and learn to read German to compare the original version with the translated one.

Generally speaking, hockey players tend to be 6'+. Players who are like 5'9" are considered small for the sport. So yeah, in the real world, Eric would be of average height. But in the hockey world, which the comic is based and stylized around, he's positively minuscule.

It's weird because nothing else in the comic is so cheesecake as the main character's outfit, so like that outfit kind of puts people off- or attracts people and then doesn't follow through? Or uh, I've confused myself. I mean the blue captain lady is swank as heck, but uh my point is put on some drat pants.
