While I antagonize during the moments when I have to wait for the next one, and would love to have the whole story right now, the craft of writing is as important as the events and ideas. The pacing is just as fast as it needs to be; if the pacing was faster than it wouldn't be Erfworld, and, while individual strips would likely be more entertaining, the series as a whole would suffer. This strikes me as something that's much more timeless than the average webcomic, something that I'll be able to read straight through after it's all over and get something new out of it. Maybe there wasn't a lot to #37-which is debatable in and of itself-but I very much doubt that it should be any other way in terms of the story. Sometimes you just need to spend a page setting the scene.
