Spoiler: Information About 'The Sneaky Gate'

Show

The 'Sneaky Gate', named from this hidden gate in comic, was a name for viewing new comics early. However the comic, due to various reasons, is currently either not being updated early or is inaccessible before it goes live. If it should ever become available early again, here is the old information about being Sneaky:

<NOTE: Remember, if you're going to discuss the new comic, put it in spoiler boxes until the release time (12am EST).>

Sneaky gating 101;

1. Right click the comic image.
2. Select view image or copy paste the image location into the address bar.
3. Modify the date to be the day you're trying to look at. (ex. 20120111 -> 20120113)
4. Go to the modified url.
5. Be disappointed when there's no early comic to read.
6. Alternately, enjoy the comic!

Sneaky gate hasn't worked in over a year at this point, is there any point in continuing to give the instructions?

Probably not (as I understand it, they now have an intern uploading things instead of doing it themselves ahead of time). I was thinking of axing it.

Perhaps I should put it in spoiler bars under a heading of: If the Sneaky Gate Ever Returns.

ETA::: Went ahead and re-worded the section to better reflect the current reality and then threw it behind Spoiler Bars.

Zoing is biological - insectoid, in fact.


The Castle has the mind of a Heterodyne downloaded into it - same tech type as used by the Ohter (and heavily hinted that that is where she first learnt of it).


GW

Any thoughts on whether Klaus used the same technology to download/copy his consciousness into Bohrlaika?

@Grey_wolf, hmm, I now think that we will have multiple Klaus copies to match the multiple copies of Lucrezia that are running around. Plus Klaus/Gil is wielding Bohrlaika's sword in Friday's comic.

We also now know why Gil hasn't been sleeping. The same thing happened to Agatha in Sturmhalten when Lucrezia's consciousness was first transferred. Every time Agatha would fall asleep, Lucrezia would take over (and vice versa). I am simply stunned at the Foglios ability to keep continuity over ten years worth of comics.

That's what I'm afraid of as well. We'll have three copies of Klaus, Lucrezia, and someone else for a good measure, running around eventually.

[HandofShadows]

No, She acts very different than Klaus (And Bang is about ready to shoot her).

Oops, guess this should go in this thread:

We will be resuming the Main Story on March 3rd of 2014.

Oh, and indications elsewhere that this latest page is the last page in the volume, such as it being posted with a line of "It's the last page of Volume 13! DOOM!" at deviantart.

So does this mean that at some point we'll see Lucrezia in her daughter's body have a conversation with Klaus in his son's body?

We're hoping for less 'conversation' and more 'hot makeouts', but conversation will suffice.

Reminds me of this comic... Yeah, that's going to happen over Agatha's and Gil's dead bodies.

[ChowGuy]

Yeah, that's going to happen over Agatha's and Gil's dead bodies.

When you're talking about Lu and the Baron, that sort of thing can be arranged.

[Rob Roy]

When you're talking about Lu and the Baron, that sort of thing can be arranged.

Er... at this point, wouldn't that be suicide?

[petersohn]

I like Kaja's hair in the latest comic.

[Kislath]

NNNnnnOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Liliet]

Reminds me of this comic... Yeah, that's going to happen over Agatha's and Gil's dead bodies.

That was one of my favorite comics. I wonder how comfortable would Klaus be kissing Lu while his son is there?

(leaving aside the idea of Klaus liking the idea of kissing her in the first place - eeny meeny obstacles like that shouldn't get in the way of shipping!)

[Doc Kraken]

Oh, now that's an evil cliffhanger.



Those monsters.

[Giggling Ghast]

Sad news. But the last panel gave me a chuckle.

[Qwertystop]

Hey, they deserve a break, after all this time.

[busterswd]

NNNnnnOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

...seconded.

[scienceguy8]

Hey, who is this guy? Why does his name sound familiar? Why is he wearing a Little Dee t-shirt? Oh, I know this guy! I was reading his webcomic up until last Wednesday when it ended! Huh. Small world. Don't worry, guys. As a longtime Spacetrawler reader, I'm sure we are in for a treat.

[Turalisj]

Could be worse.

Could be another Castle arc.

[Morty]

Could be worse.

Could be another Castle arc.

Yeah, or we could get exposed to Zola again.

[Traab]

Yeah, or we could get exposed to Zola again.

I liked Zola. She was HAWT. "SMASHHEADTINYBITS!"

[Scarlet Knight]

So that's how old the little Foglio's are?

Gotterdammerung! We'll never see the Xxxenophile: Girl Genius Edition!

[Lappy9001]

Maybe this is just a ruse to throw us off while they work on it...

[Doc Kraken]

The more Movit she downed, the more fun she was. "HATE! HATE AND DRUGS! LOVELY, LOVELY DRUGS!"
