https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-089 Is Sam specifically aware that George claims to know everything that happens around that shop? Does George give off "i'm watching" vibes even when he's not watching? Or is Sam paranoid? Running with the bulls, Hope? I think you may be on the wrong continent.

Comic for Monday, Jul 8, 2024 As portrayed in the comic in the past, rebooted immortals are kind of clueless - the couple that have been hanging around Elliot, perhaps selfish - Zeus, who is watching out for Susan and Diane. Pandora rebooted retaining much more than normal memory of her relationships, yet the outstanding feature of Hope is that she is hampered in functioning, more so than others who reboot unencumbered. Was it just a bad idea? I have the impression that is not what Dan intended. I expect her to be dialed in more quickly than a normal reboot; able to reconnect with her past. Of course it could be that Pandora was discounting the affects of her own actions and how it would affect her future self. She clearly does not understand people all that well. I hope she connects and gets guidance. Jay's response is a bit odd. Is she surprised that Susan has friends? Implying that she does not?

Comic for Monday, Jul 1, 2024 VS list with some mental images. Tensaided looks fierce, Tedd looks apprehensive. Susan and Rich both look freaked out. I think George is getting ready to stomp AJ. Hope still looks worried and withdrawn. She needs to pull Sarah aside and talk to her.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-069 Please, pay attention to what is important. Turn in your results and see if there is any way to have Justin set you up against Sarah as your next opponent. Besides, if memory access is set by Pandora's rules, games are likely to take precedence before anything else. But on reflection, a possibility comes to mind. Did Pandora mark or awaken Jay as a way to annoy Arthur?
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-068 is it just a coincidence that a comic about Memory is posted on Memorial Day in the United States? Probably. Pandora had good intentions. But she should have anticipated that simply putting up barriers would only feed the curiosity and determination of a being much like herself.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-057 The Line Cutter has official initials now. AJ. I suppose it could mean lots of things. But until I see confirmation otherwise, I'm reading it as "A Jerk". So which opening round pairing will be first in our focus?

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-055 Hope, don't mess this up. Slightly off topic, perhaps it is time for Ted et al to create a code of ethics regarding independent magic research There needs to be a way of helping a novice magic user come to terms with their abilities that falls some where in between fending for yourself and turning you in to the nearest shadow government agency
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-056 The date in the title is not incorrect. This comic was dated Thursday instead of Friday. Reasons unknown to any of the voices in my head. The Line Cutter makes his return. And without even meeting him before, Hope knows he intends to cheat. Unless he is here as a justifiable target, his presence does little to enhance my enjoyment of the story. I deal with far too many people possessing this attitude on a daily basis.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-053 So, an awkward conversation is ended, but much is left to be resolved. Incidentally, Justin, how will anyone who can't hear you know to get to where they can? (I know, he means for them to get to where they can hear him when he's not shouting; it still sounds funny the way he said it.)

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-052 No, Hope Don't push Tedd away I know you are confused and overwhelmed by the plans and Ideas Pandora had near the end, and some of those plans involved tedd But none of them matter now What she could or should have done was all lost in the Mall incident Learn from her dreams and mistakes if you wish, but at this point you will need help if you want to implement or correct anything And where are you going to find a sympathetic magic user to help you realize your own plans?
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-050 That's a lot of character tags for a strip where relatively little happens. Anyway, I should probably say something meaningful about the comic. I know! "Yay for starburst background & foreground in panel six!" There, perfect.
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-047 She's finally here! Woo!
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-042 If a power gamer like Tensaided is willing to concede that Susan's idea for a deck is "Evil", that tells me she has game abilities that we should all fear. So Hope and Susan are both counting on Sarah attending this game. Presumably for different reasons. I'm going to guess Sarah's dramatic entrance will not be in a Cinderella Pumpkin Coach.

Here. Now all we need is for Diane and Susan's dad to show up to complete the local Doppelganger Society. Seriously, why does the presence of Susan cause so much consternation at the comic shop?
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-035 I am seriously wondering how much of a mess Pandora left her memory, expecting Hope to sort it all out later. Pandora left the keys to her brain under the mat and Hope walked in without getting the realtor or landlord to sign off on preexisting damage.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-034 I think Grace is the sort who thinks of anybody she knows and who isn't mean to her a friend. Meanwhile, Hope knows things about a stranger, which must be a disorientating feeling.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-032 I will be studying Panel Four for vital clues until at least the the next appearance of Lord Tedd Are we to believe Rich & Larry have some sort of insight into how inter-dimensional alien psionics work, or is the stopped clock right twice a day? What is going on tonight to make D10 so excited? Please don't tell me that by just thinking about Boxes, Grace some how connected Hope with Pandora.
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-031 I usually wouldn't bother, but I feel like I ought to say something about the comic rather than just posting the link to it, so: Yay for starburst background in panel two!
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-030 Space for low-key spoilers: Tedd and Grace are looking quite cute today. As I said on Tumblr: I love how Tedd and Grace's new-ish hair styles are both androgynous (in fact I might even call Tedd's feminine-leaning and Grace's borderline-masculine, though they both look great with their current bodies regardless). Combined with their similar outfits and matching pendants, the two look like quite the matched set!

Comic for Monday, Feb 12, 2024 So not really an explanation why, but some confirmation that Hope is indeed shy about her new circumstances. Since Grace is an employee, and the store tends to need more staff during tournaments, this seems like a particularly bad plan. Note that in the commentary, Hope's room is 'magic'. I seems like it is isolated from the surrounding world, only connected by the magic entrance, so seemingly (more so than before) an extra-dimensional space, aka pocket dimension. That begs several questions; "Does Hope need to breathe air?", "If so, how does the room maintain oxygen level?", "Can her friends visit?" (I imagine so, if she clues them in and perhaps makes an exception to wards for them), "How does it maintain a livable temperature?" - You'd expect being extra-dimensional to be like a super efficient thermos bottle, and her body heat would build up. Possibly, it bleeds heat like crazy and should be freezing, although temperature in space can be weird, not a lot of heat content even though the temperature is extreme, so hanging in nothing might be similar. Or it could all be mitigated by whatever forced air flow is happening. There was a recent successful probe into the sun's outer corona. The temperature is millions of degrees, but it is near vacuum. The probe survived, collected data, and reported back.

https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-026 AI Robots for playing games in hidden corners of reality. Not my fist idea for how to use the vast power of an Immortal hiding among mortals, but there could be advantages. Could be. Don't ask me what they are. - - - - Pandora left behind a significant network of capable humans who would be sympathetic to this newly refreshed version of herself. I still don't know why she won't turn to any of them directly. Presumably her reasons will be revealed eventually. Possibly at or around the upcoming card tournament. But until those motivations are revealed, her actions seem needlessly cumbersome and risky. - - - - While not an obvious copy, Hope's Robot AI companion reminds me a lot of the Spaceballs character Dot Matrix, performed by Lorene Yarnell and voiced by Joan Rivers. - - - - Anyone else remember when a pair of Mimes (Lorene Yarnell & Robert Shields) hosted their own Network TV Musical, Comedy, Variety show that lasted for fourteen episodes over two seasons in the 70s? Darnitol, I miss the variety show.

Hope is definitely out of her depth, the contrast with Pandora is almost painful to see. Would that we could see other "newborn" immortals to see if feelings of inadequacy are common or a result of her unique circumstances. Jerry/Zeus is the closest example we have, and I believe he had a bit more time to mature than Hope has had.

Comic for Monday, Jan 15, 2024 So Hope lives in a supernatural room, and changes her clothes magically, but sleeps like a human and dwells in the physical universe. Cute that she cares that Justin and Luke, both of whom she barely knows, are happy. "I (as Pandora) marked you, now I am responsible for you"? Does she breathe oxygen, and how does the room get fresh air? . . . So, up to now, the cast was Hopeless, and now they are encountering Hope.
-
Comic for Friday, Jan 12, 2024 So, Hope has a physical dwelling. Is that a choice? Or a fallout of the new rules? Notice the bed; does Hope need sleep? It is unclear that she eats or not. The table could be for anything. Notably, only one seat. She does not intend to have her friends over. One wardrobe, and a couple of old school chests (lacking locks!) Is this the height of naivety or does she have magical intrusion prevention? 'Move the entrance' sounds like she carved a piece of extra-dimensional space and tied it to the EGS world with a single doorway. Perhaps you can only go through with magic. Again, she's very concerned about being seen.

Comic for Wednesday, Jan 10, 2024 Still wonder what she is so concerned about.
