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-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-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.
-
Heh, Hope learning how to fit in human society looks like it will be fun. It's interesting that she's even trying. Does she intend to reveal herself to those she remembers, or is she intending to just become their friends? Seems unsatisfying if the latter; I've been looking forward to the reunions. Justin's being remarkably polite here; most clerks aren't so circumspect about checking for counterfeits.
-
Comic for Monday, Jan 8, 2024 Hope has more rather detailed memories than 'she will remember her family and those who are important to her'.

Comic for Wednesday, Dec 27, 2023 I am torn between, "Aw, Dan, give yourself a break" and "Yeay! New comic!" Mysterious Hope is way too savvy about this card game. How does she know she needs that stuff? Do they have Internet in the Immortal realm? Why did she pick the cards she picked (that we have not seen, yet)? And why is she so painfully shy? Justin is spot on a bored clerk who has had too little to do for the past hour. And he's good at customer service. I suppose flaming customers in the back room might change his priorities. I am curious about how Hope plans to fun this purchase. Is she going to poof essentially counterfeit currency into existence? It would be more legitimate if she paid by magically extracting existing natural resources like gold or silver from the ground and formed them into bullion. It would be bad if she paid with iron and nickel and has an asteroid crash. (I hate when that happens. I would put up a 'No asteroids' sign in my shop.)
-
https://www.egscomics.com/comic/hope-013 She didn't want Justin to know that she knows him, so she carelessly calls him by name. Hope really needs to talk to someone about a whole lot of things. But whom can she trust? Three may share a secret if two are dead. Or One may keep a secret as long as that one is not Hope.
-
Comic for Monday, Dec 18, 2023 I confess to failing to discern Hope's agenda here. She knows where Adrian, Tedd, and Sarah live, maybe Susan and Diane as well. What does she gain from a Magic card tournament?
-
Comic for Friday, Dec 15, 2023 Hope appears to be full of self doubt and regret for the actions of her former self. Justin is not one of the people she thought of as family and friends. I wonder if she will connect with him anyway.
