    That one panel made me come back to the forums for the first time in a long time. :D

    Well, Grace finally gets to see the hug she wanted earlier, I hope Ashley's on board and we can get closer to "Superhero Science" being canon. I mean, sure they didn't really kiss there, but who's to say that Grace and Ashley weren't as disappointed as we were that they didn't.

     

    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.

    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.

    Hmm, descended from what now? Perhaps the "lie" is the bit about Elves being unable to reproduce, and the reality is that they can breed under certain circumstances? (they apparently can't simply sleep with just any mortal human--either the human needs some particular attribute, or else some certain thing must be done to ensure offspring) By this I mean that all naturally-born Wizards/Affinities would have some fraction of "Fairy" genes in them . . .

    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.

    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.

    Actually, considering when Playing with Dolls happened, perhaps Susan really didn't had time to lock anything ... it was what, three days ago?

    It's possible she was going over those comments WHILE locking them.

    Wait. They didn't had time to make any new video. This is THE video with the "gay" rumor ...

     

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

    Just now, The Old Hack said:

    Or maybe she is doing it on a case-by-case basis. Leaving the more innocuous comment threads alone and only locking them down when they get out of hand.

    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.

    ... yes, seems Primary Protagonist Syndrome is highly contagious in EGS. Still, who is patient zero - Tedd or Elliot? Logically speaking, it should've been Tedd as Dangerous rarity, but Elliot seem to have harder case ...

    The Goo is patient zero, obviously.

    I was wondering how there could be two threads for this comic started 5 hours apart from each other, but I guess if Tom Sewell didn't notice this one because of it being mislabeled as Friday, then it'd be understandable.

     

     

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

    I love Elliot for just caring so much about other people that he will analyse even his own hypothetical planned actions and reject them if he realises that they could have unintended consequences. This feels a little like the inverse of taking something about others and making it about yourself; he has taken a purely hypothetical (if at least conceivable) scenario he might personally experience and included its effects on others as well.

    It is why I love EGS so much. The characters. They all bring something important to the table and often do it in very individual ways. And I really, truly appreciate that.

    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.

    That was an underrated movie, although Jonathan Winters was mis-cast and Peter Boyle's performance was rather wooden. The rest was actually quite good, and I watch it whenever I see it on the channel guide.

    I enjoyed the movie for what it was. I loved the effects in it, they were quite good for when it came out. But I was actually thinking of the old radio serials. When I was a child my grandmother got my brother the complete Shadow radio series on cassette. I used to love listening to them.

    Monastic record keeping was pretty good during that period, actually. And while a lot has been lost, much has survived by copying, and I assume secret magical organizations would be pretty good at that.

    Monastic record keeping was often quite good, but it was also quite focused. You know, being monasteries and all. Any monastery that didn't have a focus in magic, which I assume is nearly all of them, likely wouldn't be recording anything about magic at all. As for the secret magical organizations, I assume some exist in the EGS-verse, but we have no idea how large or how continuous there were/are.

    Actually, thinking about it, it's perfectly plausible they had records. Colonisers could have brought copies with them.

    Assuming the records came primarily from European sources at all. When Pandora talked to the Emissary she mentioned that magic changed during her previous life, which based on what little we know about her means the change in magic likely happened sometime between 800 and 1,300 years ago. While there are European organizations that old, European records from that time frame are... Spotty. But there were several other regions in the world during that time frame which were more stable and would have been better able to preserve records

    Also, it might be family records or something else private, like some sort of wizard tradition Arthur is part of.

    If the Masons actually have magic in this world I am going to laugh myself silly. :)

    Well, Tedd did change without any fanfare here, and earlier on she was trying to more or less conceal her female form from most people. Then again, just a few minutes ago Elliot was saying that he could recognize the change in Tedd's voice between male and female.

    I was under the assumption that Tedd didn't change back until just then. He still seemed to have breasts in the last panel of the previous comic.

    Don't feel bad. Haven't you ever had a fluid dream, where one reality flows into the next? As far as Elliot was concerned, Tedd most likely left the picture some while ago.

    In that situation I normally accept the dreams for what they are, but then again they're my dreams so I already understand them. My "I didn't realize" moment was that I didn't know the person Elliot was kissing was extra-fem Tedd.

    It's mlooney. He used to go under the posting name of J. Michael Looney on the old forums before they crashed. He also has a mysterious Italian twin named Signor Mlunatico.

    Ooohhhhhh... Yeah, I was only on the old forums for a few weeks, so there was no way I would have remembered.
