I can see where Gunnerkrigg has similarities to Harry Potter, but not really to Star Wars, and it certainly doesn't fit with this:

Has Amulet ever been optioned?

I keep thinking about Marvin the Paranoid Android and how he ends up being 37 times older than the universe from all the time travel.

I said this back at the time but splitting the Annies meant I voted for neither of them rather than pick one.

Teeny Little Super Guy freaked me out, I think because of the thought of being stuck in a 2D plane of existence.

Was anyone reading minus. when it ended? The author dumped like 20 pages and declared the series over with zero warning. It was shocking, but effective.

It looks like he has pretty much disappeared a few years ago, but there's fan uploads: https://kiwisbybeat.netlify.app/minusarchive.html

AFAIK those dates are original, so the last update was just three comics, but it was still a bit sudden.

It's fun how like half of the posters in the webcomic thread had a reasonably popular comic at the time:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2767210&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=134
(GC, minus, Horribleville, Girly, Gastrophobia, Dr. McNinja, Anders Loves Maria etc)

Good news, Gastrophobia is coming back!

When it ended, I printed out all the minus pages at work and put them in a binder. Then high res versions were uploaded and mine looked like poo poo in comparison. Then a book was released and all was well again.

Curling your fingers under and doing a win+L like that is kind of painful. I'd go with a flat palm for that, or more likely just use the win key on the other side of the keyboard. Why does Tony always have to make things as uncomfortable and awkward as possible -- never mind, I just answered my own question.

It's how I do it. :smith:

And my name is "Tony".

Although now that I think of it, GC is still pretty far back in time relative to us, I'm not even sure if they have ubiquitous cell phone usage like we're used to.

They have pretty ubiquitous mind computers and telepathy stones.

I've bought a bunch from Archaia, mostly cause they'd have displays at C2E2, and their stuff is nice, a great value, and really hard to find sometimes because they are bad at stocking titles. My buddy stopped buying GC for his nieces/nephews because he waiting like a year for a new printing of a volume and by the time it came out, the rest were out of stock.

As a story told from the POV of teenagers, I'm not surprised that they/we don't know anything about the heads of the court. Like, I barely knew who our principal was, much less the superintendent and board, and they weren't part of a shadow organization.

Did she only just now learn that Shell left? Annie and the viewer only just now got confirmation, but Juliette didn't seem super surprised by it.

No one part of an organization called Shadow Men would be wearing that cute dress.

I mean, do we know why the speed of light is what it is?

It falls out of solving the fundamental equations of electro-magnetism and assuming that the universe makes sense in all reference frames.

Why the fundamental constants are what they are, I don't think we know.
