Quote Dabat, literally five minutes ago: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THEY GLOWED WHEN HE CAME TO HER EMOTIONAL RESCUE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" That one panel made me come back to the forums for the first time in a long time. Oh, come on, we both know (hope) that "Superhero Science" is totally canon.

Well... His parents are... Umm... I mean supportive is good. Actually they kind of remind me of a cartoonish version of my parents when I was his age. As to what his mother said in her second panel: I can assure you I am not thinking about Elliot and baseball. Lots and lots of baseball. (Ninja Edit: changed 'hell' to 'well', like it was supposed to be)

Sudden emotional surge? That's a Magus-ing.

I thought I'd have a lot of insightful things to say on this comic, but I don't. I always *had* to accept how I looked, if it fit me or not. But Elliot doesn't have that as she can switch freely. This comic's kind of blown my mind. Based on the dialogue I guess we can assume Elliot has looked up the meaning of 'transgender' between comics though.

Given the ease of transformation magic in this setting it is possible they're descended from Uryoums. Though it could be something like "King Abraham" for all I know.

... Yeah, and that.

Been gone for a couple of weeks, but I'm back now. Wow, this is so interesting. Reading the last few comics have gotten me really excited. Maybe I'm weird but I love learning about cosmologies and mythologies. Mesopotamian, Norse, Chinese, Vodun, Egyptian, East African, American Indian and now Danian. I think the most important revelations of the last few comics are that there are immortals in Dan's cosmology who are not "Immortals". In this comic this particular an Immortal with 'The Mantle of Heka" means that some of these other Immortals either take the aspect of, or directly influenced, human mythology***. Also Heka implied that there is more then one seer (I'll admit that 'your seer' is a slightly ambiguous statement). But perhaps the most important revelation in this comic is the heavily implied statement that there is an entire class of Immortal in Dan's cosmology which are/can be vastly more powerful than Pandora, who as far as we know is the most powerful being we have been introduced to before now. ***And throws Jerry's statement of 'pissing contests between two immortals named Zeus running in to one another' in an entirely new light. Up until now we've never met an immortal with the name of a God. The closest is Pandora but in mythology Pandora was a human. She also goes by Raven which could be referring to the American Indian spirit, but her current life seems to have been mostly European descended/influenced: e.g. Huginn and Muninn are companions of Odin, not Gods themselves.

Very true. It is possible that she's locking them now, or has decided not to lock them and is simply reading the comments.

Hmm, true enough. I had assumed from the EGS:NP Susan would be locking all comments, but it was never said if she did that... Or even that she locked any of them now that I think of it.

I was thinking about that as soon as I read this comic. Maybe she figured that disabling the comments was an overreaction, and that doing so wouldn't do anything to stop the rumors floating around amongst the people that already knew them.

The Goo is patient zero, obviously.

Wait, what? Damn, I missed that. Fixed!

I also think it's interesting that the one thing he failed to take into account when he was making all those plans was what other people already thought of him. He was prepared for multiple contingencies from several angles, except for the possibility that everyone would be to intimidated by his reputation to actually bring it up.

http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2321 "Of course not. You're the scary martial arts guy." I think it's kind of cute that Elliot has no idea how much people tend to know about him through reputation. His reputation seems to be a positive one for the most part, but still.
