And with this, Zebus becomes a very strong contender for "Best Next Generation Mystery Kid".

I'm just gonna assume his dad is literally a Conan-type barbarian who got stranded in the present day and decided to roll with it.

Either that or he's from an Asterix comic.

Literally anything is possible in this comic, but normally the mystery kids and their families are off limits for the supernatural. Although maybe Zebus isn't a full mystery kid yet...Who knows, maybe he could end up being a Thunderbird to show off how the comic is serious business where anyone can die.

I feel like Tove will become a really good webcomic once the author is done setting the table and is ready to begin the plot in earnest in like ten years. I love the art and characters but dear lord I've been waiting for the aliens or whatever to attack for ages now.

It's kind of his thing. He says he wants to quit, and then just reboots the comic with a new cast, until the old cast come back and become just as big a part of it.

He's got that same disease as David Willis, where he can't give up his old characters because he's been with them so long.

At least he tries harder to move on, even if it doesn't work.

Desmond was designed from the first to periodically recur and distribute suffering to cast and readership alike, he's more like a Biblical plague than a pet idea Allison just can't let go of

I don't think Mildred & Linton realised they've started something big.

In other SGR-related news, I like the updated site. Makes it much easier to keep track of old storylines.

And in Giant Days: Dammit Ingrid, I guess you were trying to maybe get back together with Daisy, but that was probably one of the worst things you could have done without doing it on purpose.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.


Looks like Camp Weedonwatcha reached the deadly webcomic status of "We found something better to focus on so this is going to stay on hiatus"

At least the last chapter made for a good ending, imo.

a whole hell of a lot of poo poo wouldn't have happened without her sabotage

completely understandable though, what happened to her was really hosed up and they should have had a psychologist involved or something

We already knew she was the one releasing the ghosts, right? We just now know she didn't really have justification.

Though I wouldn't blame her. Her own mother didn't reassure her that they were trying to help her.

Between them Nancy and Lulenski have pretty much been the ones to gently caress up everything, but let's not forget it was Rjinder and Maugras at the heart of it all.

Yeah that's been known for years. Her debut in the comic is her and Red releasing the ghost that becomes Greenie. Like it's all but explictly confirmed that she's the reason that at the very least Bina, Julie, West, and Nate all got ghost'd. But yeah, a large part of this plot came about from Nancy and her mom just being unable to properly communicate and deal with an unprecedentedly traumatic event.

As someone who once woke up from a medically induced coma in a compromised state from a traumatic illness surrounded by doctors doing all sorts of weird poo poo to me without telling me what was going on, I understand how irrationally furious Nancy was a literally everyone around her because I was right there too at one point, and I'm a grown rear end man.
