Morbi, I've got a question that's been bugging me. In your comic, opossum women don't have breasts, as a biological rule. Why does Poppy bother to stuff her shirt?Oxxidation posted:I dunno, given the last few it's still pretty uncomfortable, just in a different way.

Petunia being a martial arts master is one of those "secrets" that's known to almost everyone except the protagonist and the reader. It's been hinted at since the very first story, and has constantly been alluded to since then. I guess now is when we're getting that payoff.

paradoxGentleman posted:The words "The End" certainly did appear in a more or less ending manner. But Husse mentioned an epilogue, and it would not be the first time a story he's written has a confused ending that gets sorted out in the epilogue, so I'm holding onto hope for that. Yup, it definitely ended, especially how it completely failed to resolve anything to do with the main (?) antagonist. That definitely looked like an ending to me.

SlothfulCobra posted:I love that there are some webcomics that live long enough that they have to rebrand themselves to move with the times. First El Goonish Shive has to contrive a video rental store into internet movie reviews, and now Between Failures is making one of its characters switch from wanting to make indie movies to becoming an LP superstar. Why doesn't the indie movie angle work anymore? Those are still totally a thing.

Morbi posted:Witches and "professional" magic are a thing that's already becoming more prevalent in Poppy and I spent so long struggling with myself over how much of the extremely detailed rules of magic I wanted to cover in the comic. Magical systems are a lot of fun to write about, but not so much fun to slog through in the middle of a plot. Bonus points if you draw it like a presentation being given on a Tablet, which Poppy shoves into the corner with disgusted rage.

How out of place they are kind of depends on your view of humans. If you see humans as Different from Animals on some level, this is very, very jarring. If you see humans as a different kind of animal, then this still probably isn't working so great for you. If you see humans as just another animal, then it might not be a big deal.

Pelves, if you want the Latin plural. The -i plural is only for some -us singular, e.g. alumnus -> alumni. Definitely not all -us singular, e.g. corpus -> corpora, or octopus -> octopodes, or even virus -> virus.

MockingQuantum posted:I just got caught up on Wilde Life, and while it's fundamentally pretty decent writing and good art, it's kind of amazing how next to nothing has actually happened in nearly 250 pages. The timeline on this comic is way too slow, especially when you consider that would be around 10 issues of a standard print comic book. One of the key themes in Achewood is that everyone is just fakin' it.

There's a lot of evidence point to Mary being a whole lot more than she even knows. There's the keyhole, her whole back story and the fact that the church willingly supports her even though she willingly blabs her "blackmail" story to anyone with ears, and Morbi's penchant for 'fake' April fool's reveals. Also, she can only remember 2 of the three mothers of magic, which at the time was used to portray her as a ditz, but in light of what that key is for, there's probably something to all that. You know, until the latest page, I was pretty down on the intermission because there was way too much talking head gumflapping, but then AWW SNAP. It seems like Morbi likes to telegraph his big reveals only to then nail you with a bigger twist.

alternatively, you missed one of the strangest and irreverently absurdest comics that I've ever read. High/low-lights include, suicide by cum knife, adult on baby combat, furiously loving a camel, and practicing how to fight as a one-legged amputee.
