El Goonish Shive

[The Rose Dragon]

So, children. Plural. Since Not-Tengu is probably in a position to know a lot of detail about Noriko's life (as creepy stalkers usually do), I guess we can safely say that Tedd has a sibling. Or siblings. Half- or full, I don't know.

[The Troubadour]

The commentary confirms it. I didn't even catch the "first-born" thing, back when Not-Tengu said it.

[Lizard Lord]

You know, even Tengu's wings can't be used to fly they look large enough in proportion to the rest of his body that he should still be able to glide with them. Then again I'm no physics expert, so I could be wrong.

[Yuki Akuma]

Just because they can be used to glide doesn't mean he knows how to glide with them.

[Radar]

Considering his size and heavy build, he wouldn't have much luck using his wings. Sure, even a human without wings can glide using his own body, but it still means falling at least 52 km/h - it's hard to tell, what terminal speed would Tengu achieve and it's too hot here for me to bother making any estimations. Most importantly, he was surprised by sudden shortage of magical flight and didn't have time to do anything about it.

So does today's comic count as an explanation for the snow angels?

Caution: Falling demonbeasts.

[The Rose Dragon]

Grace? Don't you have a party to attend? Or host?

[Yuki Akuma]

A party being attended entirely by people In The Know. They're probably fine with her going out to save the lives of two members of their social group, one of which is the cousin of the other host and the other is her best friend.

[The Rose Dragon]

No, I'm just worried we won't get to see the other party (which I'm much more interested in than this one). Or maybe we will. I don't know what Shive is going to do.

[Gez]

I doubt the snow angels counted as anything more than random foreshadowing.

Also, a pretext to have that shot of Ellen looking at them while we see Not-Tengu flying above.

It could be the brain-damaged immortals. It could be seen as a way to guide, after all, putting them on their guard. Not that I'd expect too much thought to go into any of their plans, what with having "Oh So Invisible" printed on your shirt as the ultimate camouflage.

[Yuki Akuma]

Their ultimate camouflage is actually being invisible. The shirts are mostly just for a laugh.

[Calemyr]

I know, but it's kinda hard to tell. This is a setting where a visually blatant alien wearing a shirt labeled "Homo Sapein" is mistaken for a gay pride activist. It can be kinda hard to tell where the lines exist between visual shorthand, human gullibility, and cheap jokes.

Referencing the shirt was just a joke in the first place, though. The point was to bring up the moron twins.

[The Troubadour]

Jerry could have made those snow angels.

[Treesong]

I remember people complaining years ago that Grace was a loose cannon, ready to kill at a moment's notice, but their arguments were stupid and I put them down to anthropomorphophobia. But this Grace scares me. Does she really know something about Not-Tengu that calls for summary execution? (Agnification of the partiers would qualify if it were irreversible, as I hope it isn't, but again, how would she know?)

I'm hoping she's just trying to put the fear of Grace into him. and maybe to find out how he justifies what he does.

Anyway: just take the other eye, Grace!

[ZarDaranth]

Um, I don't think Grace would be the one doing any killing. If anything, it's the person who called Grace that would have done any kind of shenanigans.


*cough* It's quite odd that he can't hold back with people who harm his family, ironically those who look like his long-lost wife.

I read it more as that Stompalope-cousin is so beat up, he might kill himself if he keeps trying to fight.

[Mando Knight]

For bonus points: read Grace's lines as if she were voiced by Hynden Walch.

[The Troubadour]

I wonder if there'll ever be a proper battle again in the comic, like with Damian. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; I'm honestly curious.

You have a very narrow definition of a 'proper battle'. The fights with the summoned creatures a while back weren't enough?

[Qwertystop]

Is it just me, or are the day-labels above the comics messed up?

[memnarch]

If you're asking if it's showing the wrong date, it seems correct to me.

Actually, I just forgot about those. :-P

[Qwertystop]

Yeah, and... huh. It was wrong on my phone this morning, but now it's fine. Odd.

[The Rose Dragon]

I see! The not-Tengu is but a wereman, and he can no longer suppress his mannish features!

A man-man, you say?

[The Rose Dragon]

Elliot, meet Diane, who looks awful lot like that Susan you have a crush on. Diane, meet Elliot, the guy you've been pining for, without even realizing it.

[Calemyr]

Gotta love Diane's mindset. Monsters, magic, angels, demons, super heroes, and furries... I'm going to go stand by the super hero in case another shoe drops.

I don't remember, has Elliot ever been warned about little miss anti-Susan? I can't tell if he's shocked, intrigued, amazed, but I'm betting on a combination of the three.

[Frozen_Feet]

I think his brain just broke.
