NP Comic for Tuesday, Jan 16, 2024 "Where's the beef?" - 2nd panel, lady. In EGS logic, this kind of makes sense, although I wonder what prompted Tedd's cryptic animal form comment. Ashley is being Ashley.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Jan 9, 2024 Beefy Fox still looks threatening flexing and Nanase looks apprehensive. Why is Fox focused on her own physique? This seems like a subversion of what she's all about, a decoy or assistant. The big question is foreshadowing trouble or merely dramatic presentation. Even in the best case, she still seems like she is a bit more out of control than normal. And Fox does have a history of being competitive with Nanase in the video games. It seems to be part of her personality. So is each Fox basically a new temporary person? Or do they share some common thread? Does a new Fox remember experiences of previous Fox. It is implied they do; early on Fox made some error in front of Mrs. Kisune. She has not been shown repeating that error, needing to relearn each time. What are the moral implications of terminating a Fox? It seems that for Nanase, there are none; it is an understood aspect of having the Fox spell for her own convenience, pretty much like terminating a fairy doll is for Susan. What if someone deliberately kills Fox? Is it murder? Does the next Fox remember? Does that become a psychological burden? Does it harm Nanase? She felt some pain when her fairy dolls were terminated by Abraham. If Nanase is in her angel form, would using the Fox spell create an angel form Fox? Sadly now, I realize, I am hoping for more information. Yes, I am looking for Fox news. This is truly a sad situation. Ashley is the group's resident airhead. I find it difficult to care what she is thinking, because in a minute or two, 'Oh, there's a squirrel I should chase'. I might love my cat or dog, but generally would not ask them for actual advice. (They could be a sounding board for my own thoughts.) She did OK in the mall, though. I guess under duress she is more grounded.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Jan 2, 2024 Nanase looks muscular enough, don't get why Ashley would question it. The commentary says Nanase weights in the first panel appear to be about three pounds. I think that's way off, I'd say about ten pounds. I forgot that Ashley does ballet, which seems like an unnecessary embellishment for this comic; holding her aloft would be impressive even if she did not. I guess she would not be able to stay rigid in the last panel without some practice. When do they teach that? A friend of my dad's had a daughter near my age, and when we were little she took ballet classes. I'm pretty sure they didn't do that. I didn't observe so I guess they could have. My only other connection to ballet was that they played the Ballet of Davy Crockett on the radio a lot around then. Disney made a few shows about him wandering the wilderness in his coonskin cap and tutu. Fess Parker, who was Jed Clampett a decade later, played his sidekick. He killed him a bar when he was only three. Probably got the whiskey contaminated, then got chased out of town for poisoning the patrons, and had to wander the wilderness, until he got elected to Congress. Then, he told them, "You can go to Hell, I'm going to Texas.", and yeah, I can see a rough equivalence, although, most of the time Texas has a milder climate. And Hell is not know for it's tornadoes. But it is known for Willie Nelson, who may have known Davy Crockett. He's been around for a while.

NP Comic for Saturday, Dec 30, 2023 Wouldn't her muscles be evident all the time? Not sure if the last panel means lust or fear.

NP Comic for Thursday, Dec 28, 2023 Nanase wants to tweak the spell s'more. "She's not my maid" sounds like denial to me. Tedd's big eyes in the second panel are amusing. I am curious what particular aspect of Nanase getting bigger amused him. Or was it her verbal response? Ashley is true to form.
-
NP Comic for Tuesday, Dec 12, 2023 Don't let that get out, Nanase, your employer will expect you to be in two places at once. I don't know if it is poker face so much as Ashley has had her brain explode so often lately that she''s used to it. The smoke is a nice touch.

NP Comic for Thursday, Dec 7, 2023 Tedd is shocked that Ashley threw Kevin the Insulting Stick at the golem. I'm shocked that Kevin made it back. Tedd seems to see Kevin as a bit of an oracle, so is presumably learning from Kevin. Kevin is designed by Arthur to instruct new agents, as such has a reflection of Arthur's knowledge. To me this says Tedd could do with some magic instruction from someone who could guide him <sarcasm mode> . . . if only there were such a person available </sarcasm mode>.

NP Comic for Saturday, Dec 2, 2023 The second panel is odd. Probably just dramatic, but it looks like the 'new' version of Nanase is having issues becoming substantial, starting to fade away. The white flame background seems to support this. Probably just stylistic choices, not foreshadowing Nanase evaporating. Just in case, I have a song prepared. "Na na na se, Na na na se, Hey, hey, Goodbye!" Ellen: "Tedd! What did you do to my girlfriend?" Tedd: "It wasn't me! Honest!"

NP Comic for Thursday, Nov 30, 2023 Overly complicated mumbo and jumbo. Ashley then psychs herself out.

NP Comic for Saturday, Nov 11, 2023 Ashley is beside herself.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/layers-069 Ashley hasn't seen Squirrel Grace yet? Very similar to Sarah's reaction. . . . . . Is Tedd upset because no thought was given to asking Ellen if her "Second Life" memories might have relevant information? Or is Ellen surprised that her "Second Life" memories have relevant information? I think we can safely assume that the Chibi Stares will continue uninterrupted for the next two weeks.

NP Comic for Thursday, Nov 9, 2023 The change in magic with less power but greater flexibility appears to have greater ramifications than they were aware of. They can combine spells. Nanase doesn't quite get to tell us what her new spell was. The limitations of AI shown in a harsh light. Fox is now programmed for a task, and has no sense about when it is appropriate. (Imagine if she had the strength, and did not understand not to fold the human with the clothes. Sky Net, here we come.) Also, Kevin is aware of his obsolescence, but is oddly capable of meta reasoning about it. I wonder if he can modify his curriculum to take changes into account or if it is hard coded. He is apparently able to understand that it has changed.

NP Comic for Thursday, Nov 2, 2023 Having magic gave mousey, short Rhoda confidence (well, magic, and a girlfriend). Magic has so far made Ashley more neurotic. Maybe when she gets some power, that will change.

https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/fox-021 Kevin, why must you be a reliable and interesting source of magical knowledge? I was almost ready to simply ignore you whenever you appeared on panel. . . . . . I probably shouldn't be surprised that there is more than one way to achieve similar magical results. I suppose that the next step is to have Nanase make a "Model Fox" in a manner similar to Kevin's construction, then blend those techniques with her summon spell. And the interplay between Ashley and Kevin makes me think of Kevin as a tutor for a Middle School History class, but he only has the University text book available. Every time he lets a controversial tidbit slip, like ritual summons, the British Raj or Japanese internment, it distracts Ashley from the basic rote facts she's supposed to be learning, like the names of all the American states, the names of all the British monarchs or "is this your card?"

NP Comic for Thursday, Oct 19, 2023 Kevin once again displays what for a human would be hubris, but for a stick is at least hubris++. "I am superior to you in every way. Tell me what is on that flat surface." "Oh, you can't see it, can you? Well, they are making rude drawings of you showing how inept you are." I think that now that he is practically a major character, Kevin needs a proper name. It should probably be Kevin Arthur, since Arthur Arthur created him and treats him as a son. I like Kevin the Kindling for its alliteration. Bonus points for expressing appropriate hostility. Does EGS meet the criteria to qualify as a stick person comic? I think it is only marginally one. I bet he's riot at parties. "The party was going great, then Tedd brought out Kevin." I suppose you could play pranks on him, though. Paint him while he's asleep. "Hey, Kevin. Guess what color you are." I think I would glue two craft eyes on him. Make him look even sillier. Then paint a top hat and give it a cardboard brim. "That's more Kevin comments than you can shake a stick at." "No, it's not." <grab> <shake> Kevin: "Hey, put me down." "OK. You are a crotchety buffoon who is full of himself. This aspect of your personality seems superfluous to your training purpose, and I am left wondering why you are like that. Are you a reflection of Arthur's own personality? If so, you are all the rough parts, aggregated; he is more understanding than you are. It is a shame you cannot experience the life your students lead, it would mellow and mature you. In a meta sense, you do not seem to add to the comic. My impression is that Tedd is a better trainer than you are. Your so called 'training' has been mostly put-downs as far as we've seen. What do you even bring to the table?" "Table? What table?" "Exactly" I think Melvin's cursed genie cat does a better job.

NP Comic for Saturday, Oct 14, 2023 23,590 + 1,011 = 24,601 Pretty much everyone has access to a calculator, because the app is on phones, and even if you have no signal, that should work.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Oct 10, 2023 It is the afternoon, and no one has posted this yet. Nanase is having issues.

NP Comic for Saturday, Oct 7, 2023 Ashley, you are overthinking this. Kevin is a stick.

NP Comic for Thursday, Oct 5, 2023 EGS, now featuring nudidity! I wonder who Ashley pictures as her professor?

NP Comic for Tuesday, Sep 26, 2023 Nanase is least cool when she's looking for approval as cool. My impression is that prior to the magic change, making out with a caster and her double would have been somewhat like a twin fantasy, but knowing it was a double might sour the deal. After the change, both the caster and the double would seem mentally challenged; this does not sound appealing. Ashley is imagining something like the first scenario in her head canon. So, did Nanase use Fox in sessions with Ellen or not? Would it enhance the situation from either point of view? Nanase might think, "Am I not enough for you on my own?" Ellen might think it is a way of Nanase distancing herself. Or it could have just happened off scene, that seems to be the EGS default. It is noteworthy that Ashley imagined Elliot as male. I think every time they've made out in the comic, they've both been female.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Sep 19, 2023 Kevin is loosing whatever passes for his mind. Delusions of grandeur clearly labelled. Nice touch. If you cut up Kevin with a table saw, would you have four mini-Kevins, or would they no longer work? Hmm, I think we need to apply the scientific method.
