These are now four of my favorite characters in the webcomic. I wonder if the characters themselves canonically exist somewhere in the El Goonish Shive universe. I hope so.

I think Burgess Meredith was the only known case where "Spiritual Beliefs Involving Animals" triggering a Penguin transformation.

It is entirely possible that any or all of these people may have appeared canonically in the comic at some point in the past.  However, since these people have been affected by transformation magic, their previous appearance may not resemble their present appearance.

I'm not even talking about appearing in the comic proper. I just like imagining these people simply existing somewhere in the Shive universe. This is what we should be writing our fanfiction about.

Especially because transformation magic can just generally be a great tool for examining ideas of identity. Like, seriously. Also pornography I guess.

Lisa Etcetera, how are ya? You sound like Grace, all of the sudden.

Eight pack is a lie! That is an abomination... ooh, penguin man! :demonicduck:

It's likely Grace has already answered any questions related to this by searching google.

Eight pack is entirely possible with the TF Gun! Now, can they do 1000-pack?

If you want to keep the person human, the best you can do is a 640 pack, since that's the number of muscles we have. One could say the example in the Q&A already achieved that.

Not necessarily. Humans don't have 4 breasts either, yet I'd still call Nanase human in that one sketchbook.

Ok, if you want to keep the person human looking. Once you start adding limbs and extra boobs and such, it's going beyond typical human.

Abs made of abs! When life gives you abs, tighten and divide them until you've got abs to spare, then burn life's house with the power of your abs! ABS!

Yo dawg, I hear you like abs, so I put abs in your abs.

So, most common type of magic is transformation. And mostly not combat oriented.

What is the second most common? Flying is definitely something lot of people WANTS, but is it REFLECTIVE of them?

What about health-related spells? Although, I guess that transformation can also be solution for people with various disabilities ...

Is Dex exception, or are there lot of summoners who were lonely?

Huh. That could easily be Susan in 30 years.

I think that Susan doesn't WANT longer hair ... that she's satisfied with the current length.

Nah, she wants to control her hair with her mind. ;)

You can find photographs online of persons who appear to have eight-pack abs.

Also remember Tedd? Remember Justin? ;)

I'm pretty sure that she means this kind of control. Although, changing length is part of package.

(See also tvtropes if you dare.)

That's what I meant too, but was thinking along these lines.

She has considered shorter hair before.

The longer the hair, the whooshier it gets. :P

I'm not so sure about it. She needs to tune the length to the best whoosh.

Sorry, I though you disagree with what I said. (BTW, good example: I knew about this character, but forgot about this page.)
