Bobcats on roof sounds interesting When can we see them?

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/teddgameopinions-016 Powerful magic used for small mundane advantages? Sounds good to me For some reason, this made me think of an old (1970s) Archie comic where Sabrina was magically zapping the trash out to the curb, only to be reprimanded by a senior witch. If she was living among mortals, her magic had to remain secret. So the next day she was carrying the trash can (using magic to make it feather light) only to have Reggie arrive to show off how he's the big man by carrying the trash for her. As soon as he grabbed the can, Sabrina canceled the spell and Reggie threw out his back.

So are Grace, Susan & Diane staring in a new detective drama? I suppose Ellen & Nanase just aren"t Wacky enough anymore Not necessarily Dan could be foreshadowing even more new characters But they probably are Cranium & Wolf

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/teddgameopinions-015 Some people in what we call the real world insist on doing things in a more convoluted manner Their plans are not usually well received Who would have thought that players in a fantasy setting might want to do things they can not do in reality?

She seems to have bought in to Arthur's ideal of secrecy about magic above all else It seems that she didn't get the message that even Arthur now realizes that is no longer possible Having someone on the payroll who is an armed fanatic for the previous boss is always interesting

I have a similar fitness philosophy I spend a lot of time planning to run Never actually get around to it But I do spend a lot of time planning to run

Not to nitpick Dan's comments... Oh, who am I kidding? Nitpicking Dan's comments The Choker disappeared in comic 005, the lipstick was missing in 006 But, you know, it was all deliberate to illustrate how characters in cutscenes do not necessarily match the way they were equipped by the player Of course it was Or are we moving into a "Where's Waldo" sequence?

A sentiment I am likewise compelled to express Actually, I don't think I have kept an appointment to watch a sitcom on network television since the end of Cheers and Night Court. It's not so bad, but I do occasionally wonder what happened to Ubu. Did he ever not sit? Was he always a good boy?

Considering how Bishops and Knights move, I am surprised they can end up in adjacent spaces so easily The last time Knight looked that bad was following one night in Bangkok Not sure about Castle, but Agent Rook is for the birds But the issue is out there, ANY use of force has the potential to escalate, backfire, or produce unintended consequences. And that is not including those who would deliberately misuse force in the line of duty

The Dark Times covered the (still as yet untitled in the archives) story arc centered on Ashley's Party and the start of Balance in the Story comics If there is something that needs to be said about any of the comics therein, this may be a good place to say it And if you could include the date of (and perhaps a link to) the specific comic to which you are referring, that would be helpful

I am convinced that the Trans-Human Genetic Enhancement that needs funding from every major government and corporation is a Caffeine Gland No more poor farmers spending their lives growing and harvesting beans and leaves without any nutritional value No more multinationals selling us said beans and leaves for thousands of times what they paid said poor farmers No more baristas who can't spell their own name with a Sharpie on a foam cup No. Let us fuel our own endocrine system

https://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/2021-001 Not one of my favourite Sketchbook entries However, it was the only Sketchbook page Dan posted on the Sketchbook site during the Dark Times, so here it is

The Dark Times covered the conclusion(?) to the Parable story arc, the Wrong Answers Only Q&A thread, and the start of Tedd Video Game Opinions in the NP comics If there is something that needs to be said about any of the comics therein, this may be a good place to say it And if you could include the date of (and perhaps a link to) the specific comic to which you are referring, that would be helpful

Thoughts are nothing but trouble

Should we go back and create comment threads for the comics that were posted during the Dark Times? My immediate opinion would be no. But perhaps there are compelling reasons why we should?

The Hack was among my targets If anyone has other means of communication, please use them I asked Thoth to write a general announcement where any interested party might read it, only to later remember that most EGS fans are not particularly literate in Hieroglyphics Left facing one eyed falcon, Soldier walking with right foot raised, Cartouche with Eye of Horus and seven feathers, Bat Signal, Shaft of wheat, and Anubis seated on a golden bench

What? There is a way of actually playing those things?

Take your time We'll check back before lunch

We're getting the band back together... But I seem to have misplaced my bagpipes No one wants to help me find them

I've missed Explorer The cats at my job won't get close enough to me to shed on me

About a year's worth of social interaction and EGS related chat activity Apparently they were just sitting here the whole time

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/teddgameopinions-012 Sarah? Is there something you want to say about spiders?

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/teddgameopinions-011 Can you dislike spiders and still like Spiderman? Or, on the other spinnerette, could a hardened super-villain who had previously admired the descendants of Arachne develop a fear of, or an aversion to, our eight-legged escorts following an unpleasant encounter with a friendly neighborhood web slinger? Anyway, I'm certain there is some master debater out there who will insist that loudly doing something similar to the thing to which you object is a great argument strategy. So good plan Ms Brown

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/balance-023 Is this supposed to show that Agent Edward Verres is such a unphasable professional that he will not give the obligatory spit-take when confronted with this information? Or did the scene just cut away before the punch-line? When first reading the note, I thought Grace meant that she had already left the house for school and would explain when she got home. The final panel, if I am interpreting it correctly, implies that Grace wrote and posted the note just after she woke from the dream, only to go back to bed. But more importantly Grace did not specifically address this to Edward or Tedd. She had to know that either of them would see it on the refrigerator. Along with the aftermath of Ashley's party where Tedd demonstrated the Mirror to his Father and with Edward making the report to Arthur, I suspect that Tedd is no longer asking the others to keep secrets from his Father and/or the FBI Paranormal Division.
