El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18

Well, I think you're all missing the point that you are getting your money's worth from his work.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works!

[Vinyadan]

Yep! Anything that isn't paid for is entirely immune to criticism!

And even more for the things from which you benefit!

[Fyraltari]

How dare you have opinions unrelated to profit-seeking?

[Anonymouswizard]

Oi, did you pay for my criticism?

[Vinyadan]

Oi, did you pay for my criticism?

Right! I give my criticism for free: even if it were the worst ever, it would clearly be a good deal for its target! And, since it's free, there's no reason they shouldn't take it.

[Windscion]

Shaking my dmn head.

When I first saw that panel I thought it would be used for something less obvious, such as her admitting she's dating Sarah or that she applied for the Sociology course. There's no way that Tedd hasn't known this for like a year and change.

[Pax1138]

Agreed. Is is probably going to turn into a "Well yeah..." thing.

Also I guess those lines on Tedd's face are new glasses, but my brain could not parse them for the longest time.

That's the joke, though.

Grace has committed the greatest sin in EGS...being extroverted.

[Windscion]

It feels weird to say this but ... Ellen in a skirt looks wrong. And yeah I know: Mall!Elliot wears a skirt.

[Anonymouswizard]

Huh, all this time I was certain the Cleric was called Mark.

Nanase, there's only one way to beat him. You must challenge him to a children's card game!

[Taevyr]

But is she packed with the cranial capacity for playing Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan Roulette-4th Dimensional Hypercube-Chess-Strip-Poker?

What am I saying, it's Nanase. Of course she is.

[Maat Mons]

Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan Roulette-4th Dimensional Hypercube-Chess-Strip-Poker is like regular Strip-Poker, in that the real winners are the audience.

[Adaon Nightwind]

Wow. What i love about this Webcomic is that i can deeply care about the characters, and the second-to-last - panel just made my heart beat faster.

Susan touches Ted´s Hair. Such a small gesture.. and yet, such a great development. This is beautiful.

[Rater202]

...So the one on the right is totally the unicorn from Parable. The one who is quite blatantly a chimera.

[Windscion]

Yes, he is. Left looks goonish, or really, trollish.
That means that center dude is the wizard.
re: Layers ... honestly my first thought is "eggs." And not just because "egs" is easily confused with "eggs."
But there is also layers of deception, meaning, defenses, &c.

Edit: Sacred coprolite! Could lavender be working on an egg? She'd probably need help with it tho. Which could get weird.

[Maat Mons]

Maybe the guy on the left is an ogre. It would fit with the layers theme.

[Gnoman]

I'm not entirely sure that Tedd is going to receive this in the i way Elliot intends.

[Vinyadan]

I find it interesting that this is posted now, because I recently saw a lot of talk about the meaning of manliness on American newspapers, and it seems to be a purely American discussion.

[Fyraltari]

Yesterday's main comic page gives "and then everybody clapped" vibes to me.

[Windscion]

Sarah, I like the way you think.

[Rater202]

This will end in polyamoury.

[Anonymouswizard]

This will end in polyamoury.

Polyamory. Come on, it's normally us Brits adding superfluous us.

And you're saying that assuming Sarah isn't already in a hinge.

Spell it polyarmory and ride into battle, you cowards!

You have no idea how badly this could end...

Yes! someone spelled it! I get to deploy the links!!

[WanderingMist]

This is the most blatant trolling I've ever seen Dan do.

What do you mean?
