If it's good enough for Jackie Chan, it's good enough for Greg.
Besides, people cosplay as odder things even when they're not huge anime fanboys from the Gooniverse. ^_^Treasured Quotes

Yeah, it was fixed some time ago. Not sure what happened.

Re: El Goonish Shive
Works fine now. Hopefully it will continue to do so.
I quite wonder if Noah may have some connection to the Lord Tedd-verse since he reacts that way to the name Shade Tail.
Or maybe his connection to Damien is just deeper than I thought.Treasured Quotes

Re: El Goonish Shive
Yeah, there are some really bad fans there. It's as caustic as the Dominic Deegan fandom despite being written and drawn far better than Oracle for Hire's comic. The biggest gripe I have with some of them is that they just don't get that they don't know everything - so they take a scene out of context and gripe about it without ever acknowledging that the context is still missing. Others think that having even the slightest positive thing to say is akin to being a gushing fanboy who worships the ground the author walks on and so take every opportunity (whether said opportunity is valid or not) to pick at anything they could conceivably imagine as questionable.
And just like the Deeganites, they get royally pissed if someone suggests they stop reading the comic they despise so much.
I just hope the author doesn't take them seriously. People like that are why I don't publish any of my writing, and I'd hate to see someone who's actually good lose his will to continue after continual harassment like that.Last edited by Calemyr; 2011-06-01 at 12:56 PM.

Re: El Goonish Shive
"Telling us stuff we already know" seems to be a favourite, too. Apparently, some people think that characters should never fill each other in on information and every character should automatically know everything the readers do.
And here I always thought this was a character driven drama-comedy, where incomplete information and bad communication is the foundation for the genre.
Also: the author doesn't read the reaction threads. So I'd say he doesn't care what they think.

Re: El Goonish Shive
Speaking of different parts of the site; anyone know why the EGS: NP stopped updating? The last comic say it would be back withing a week.
It was posted last January.
I personally blame the burning catterpillar in the Dex-in-Wonderland panel. It looks like a Newspaper thief.Treasured Quotes

Re: El Goonish Shive
Not sure about the current state, but the posters in the Deegan thread don't dislike the comic overall. At least, not in the way you imply. It's the difference between something so bad it's good(which DD counted as for most of it's run) and So bad it's horrible(what it's getting into now).
Plus, Mookie does have some good ideas. It's just the execution of said ideas absolutely blows.He fears his fate too much, and his reward is small, who will not put it to the touch, to win or lose it all.

Re: El Goonish Shive
I will say that exposition is probably Dan's biggest weakness, though. It's a webcomic, so there's a certain economy of time that you have to take into account. Take, for example, "New and Old Flames, Part 3," in which every spends roughly three months of real time sitting in a basement, talking about the implications of what just happened. That was easily the dullest part of this current arc.
I think he recognizes this as one of his weaknesses, too. See his commentary on Tuesday's comic:

Re: El Goonish Shive
Okay, dex is rocking the puppy dog eyes. It's sad that so often those who most need social contact have the most difficulty finding it. But at least he has something in his life he can lavish affection on/be lavished with affection by.
I also recommend dogs. Or cockatoos. If he's got the time to give them proper care, of course.
EGS forums be darned.

Looks like we'll get to see party-Elliot after all.

Re: El Goonish Shive
Probably, although he could just have looked it up.
But that wouldn't result in nearly as many hilarious reactions.Treasured Quotes

Re: El Goonish Shive
He's pretty good at rationalising these things, like when he morphed into her form, but kissing Carol of all people? That's going to be a tough one.
But I'm personally anticipating the Q&A the most, what's all of you's oppinion on those? I personally found teh We're Bringing Silly Back one hilarious.Treasured Quotes

Re: El Goonish Shive
Seriously. Even though I predict Sarah may be understanding enough not to consciously blame Elliot... Emotional reactions often aren't so reasonable. This is gonna be fun...
On the topic of the upcoming Q&A: This is gonna be fun.

Re: El Goonish Shive
Pretty sure, yes. The strip where Justin actually tells him Elliot isn't his boyfriend has George reacting in a very "huh? What? You mean you're.. available? I need to go think about that way." Or that's what it looks like to me, anyway. Said strip, for reference.
