  1. Comic for Friday, May 12, 2023

    Only problem with that is, if she doesn't appear for the next six years, will I remember what the hell that means?

    Great, so how am I going to label this person in The Count? Mysterious Person in Black? That's way too long. Open to suggestions.

    It's going to be a while before this is up and running again, since while I still have and use my notebook, it's been a while since I've updated it and I relied on the thread in the old forum to remind me of when I left off. I've heard rumors of an attempt at data recovery, but barring that I'll probably have to recount a lot of things to make sure I'm on track. EDIT: It occurs to me that the rules for appearances were in the original thread, which was deleted. Here are my criteria: -On panel appearance (duh) -Off panel dialogue -Partial appearance. This one is iffy, but I usually require around 25% visibility (or a face) AND clarity as to who the character is. Said clarity must exist in the strip itself, not including context from previous strips. Rare exceptions have been made to the visibility requirement, such as when The Boar died and only its hoof was visible, but I generally stick pretty hard to it. -Flashbacks and fantasy sequences count -Recurring apparitions that are not real, such as Susan's personality aspects, are counted as "semi-characters" -Characters with alter-egos (such as Elliot) receive credit for the appearances of those alter-egos, and the alter-egos themselves receive credit as semi-characters -If two alter-egos appear in the same strip (like Cheerleadra and Heidi, say) they would both receive individual credit, but Elliot would only be counted once -Different versions of the same character, like Zeus/Jerry, or any alternate universe versions like Beta Tedd or Second Life Ellen, are counted as separate characters

    Then you must not read my end-of-the-year wrap-ups, 'cause I made a point of pointing out he hadn't shown up all last year. Mon. Apr. 3, 2023 Susan: 636 Tedd: 948 (2023 debut) Wed.

  5. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/ourf-025 Has she named the fairies Gummy, Chewable, and Gummy 2, by chance? It's fitting that Dan should take Monday off, considering it's Labor Day in most places.

  7. Comic for Wednesday, Apr 12, 2023

    Last comic he was convinced she had come to these conclusions; this comic he wanted to know how she had done so.
  8. https://www.egscomics.com/comic/ourf-016 So are we all agreed that Susan's going to finish working at the video store and start working for Tedd's dad is where this is naturally heading?

    I'll never give up on it. I just get distracted from time to time. Usually when there's some kind of big upheaval, like moving to a different continent. Which happens surprisingly frequently, now I stop and think about it.

    I'll shoot for monthly for now and see how that goes

  13. Crazy Counting Guy

    Can we not turn this into a chatter thread?
  14. Comic for Friday, Feb 10, 2023

    Fair. I don't ship her with Raven specifically (or with anyone, necessarily); I'm just pro-anything that has the potential to make Vladia happy.
  15. Crazy Counting Guy

    When it comes to background characters, I include them if they're recurring and identifiable, even if they don't talk. And there are obvious one-off characters (like the infamous Phill) who'll obviously never appear again, so I don't bother with them. Basically, when it comes to things like this, there's no hard-and-fast rule; I just use my judgement on a case-by-case basis. Though there have been a couple of times where I've had to go back and add people to the count retroactively when they've reappeared. Hence my comment about the werewolf. If we see him again, he's officially "recurring" and I have to include him. I should probably do it now but I'm just being lazy and I don't want to.

    Guys, today's strip has brought a confirmation I've been waiting for for a long time. Was able to go back and fill in some former "TBD"s from way back in October of '21 (Abe and Raven), as well as one from Feb. of last year (Lavender. That one's not new info; I just forgot about it, lol). All three characters' respective counts have been updated in the FULL COUNT. Now, from my mildly uncomfortable Spanish couch, the counting finally continues. Wed. Oct. 19, 2022 Nanase: 685 Diane: 346 (2022 debut) Elliot: 1135 Cheerleadra: 118 Ashley: 304 Sarah: 780 Susan: 620 (2022 debut) Fri.

  21. Comic for Friday, Feb 10, 2023

    If Dan published books the way Willis does for Dumbing of Age, I'd suggest this for a title. Can't it be both?
  22. Comic for Friday, Feb 10, 2023

    Holy shit, it's not a new character! I'm sure a lot of you picked up on it being Vladia back in the Jan. 16 strip, but I'm a bit dim, okay?
  23. Comic for Wednesday, November 16, 2022

    I wasn't being literal. I was drawing a deliberate comparison as a way of alluding to the theory about Nanase's magic being the reason hers are as big as they are.
  24. Comic for Wednesday, November 16, 2022

    Dang, man. Lucy is jacked. I'm talking Natalie Portman in Love and Thunder level jacked. Plus, she's...er, "Nanase-sized" in other areas, if you catch my meaning. Are we sure she doesn't have magic, too?

    Raven's only 6 behind her.
