make mockery posted:also, i caught up to gg again right about the time things in paris went tits-over-teakettle and i have so little idea of what people are talking about that i assume that the plot has managed to move somewhat since then so i might have to catch up to it again Now things are going tits-over-teakettle in sunken Albion, so the plot has moved on! GG has the problem of all character dense and plot heavy webcomics that plot just takes a longass time to occur. I still feel like it was just yesterday that they were in the Castle and it had been two years since they entered. Meanwhile there's been like a solid 4-5 plot arcs since then. e: Also, I'd been wondering why there wasn't a Girl Genius thread a la the one for KSBD, Unsounded, and Gunnerkrigg, and it turns out it was hiding here the whole time. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Mar 16, 2019 |

There's only two real romantic interests for Agatha, and she's going to end up with both of them and I will brook no dissent on this subject.

nimby posted:I've always thought Higgs was more of a super-spy that's been places and knew things, it never occured to me before this latest plotline that he'd be anything else. He can still be what you thought, though. And I thought that we were pretty sure there was something Jaeger-ish about him going back to the Castle arc when he beat the poo poo out of Zola despite being stabbed a few dozen times, and then beat up on Von Pym in the Muse's body.

Spike also has a new book out, Delver, via comixology. I loved Templar AZ, she had/has an incredible knack for iconography with the various weirdo factions of Templar. I had a Reclamation t-shirt bitd, and it was awesome.

Oh, and I'm in the market for a webcomic to read. Preferably something with a bigass archive, p good art, and a solid story. Long term favorites of mine are Unsounded, Girl Genius, Kill Six Billion Demons (obviously), and every one of John Allison's various jams. Would love recommendations from all and sundry.

Yeah. At least based on the lesbian couples I'm friends/acquaintances with* the old joke about what a lesbian brings to the second date was definitely true.** * (who are all of the same level of fairly high social status/extremely high educational attainment, so biased and also fairly small sample) * (q: what does a lesbian bring on the second date? a: a U-Haul)

Question on trans* etiquette, when do you change which pronouns you're using to refer to someone? Obv. after someone has stated which pronouns they prefer, but in this case with Al is the preferred pronouns still he/his since they need some time to determine how this affects them? On the plus side, Al is a fairly gender neutral first name so they're able to keep that if they want to. If they don't, going with Maria/Marius would be a good match to Sulla. Also, man, we created synthetic humans and gave them all our gender issues. Al is slightly different since he's so far apparently a perfect copy of the Al that died in 2005, but Sulla is her own person and got to deal with that stuff. I'd imagine other synthetic people have to deal with it as well, and not just them. GJ, humanity. (also, thanks for recommending O Human Star a couple pages back, TuxedoTed!) E: oh, right, spoilers. habeasdorkus fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Apr 16, 2019 |

Wait, that's what people are calling the rape storyline? It's absolutely coercion and gross, and rape is definitely in large part about exerting power over someone, but they're not the same thing. Also, that Professor Gujawara or whatever dude is not a good guy and you should not be looking to him for ethics. What Allison did was going to bite her in the rear end before the series ended.

Kinda weird to see Lalli actually able to talk to people. It must have been months in universe since he had someone he could speak with other than Onni (before Onni shitted off to wherever anti-social Finnish mages poo poo off to). Also, I can't believe that someone let Reynir back out into the world, mages are rare and useful and he's not immune!

Hmm, favorites in bold: O Human Star, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, Kill Six Billion Demons, Unsounded, Stand Still Stay Silent, Perry Bible Fellowship, Dinosaur Comics, Bad Machinery/Bobbins, Order of the Stick, Girl Genius, Oglaf, Penny Arcade, PVPonline, Questionable Content, Strong Female Protagonist, Something Positive, XKCD, Gunnerkrigg Court, Manly Guys Doing Manly Things, Three Panel Soul, Existential Comics. Some of these I could probably take off due to inactivity (MGDMT) or not actually liking them that much (PVP) but RSS feeds make em pretty easy to follow. I need to get around to adding Paranatural into my RSS reader.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:EN was succeeded by Errant Story, which was a plotted fantasy comic that ran for a decade and which I literally only just now remember that I read all of. It ended in 2012 (with an epilogue!) and was succeeded by Does Not Play Well With Others, which apparently still updates semi-regularly but which I don't read. Errant Story was p good in my memory. Can't believe it ended 7 years ago, though.

Nuns with Guns posted:Meredtih Gran has done some some Boom! comics for Adventure Time and Regular Show, too. Isn't Gran a legit Professor of Comics at SCAD or some place like that? SlothfulCobra posted:The weirdest webcomics were the ones that started out kinda-autobiographical with characters that are people in the real world, but drifted into more elaborate fiction. Elaborate fantasies with self-inserts are one thing, but when you're actually the star of your own work? And important cast members are real people who you may have fallen out of contact with? It's very weird. Something Positive is still updating, still enjoyable, and not quite as bleak as it used to be.
