Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
Well, I was wrong. It wasn't Luke freaking out at the sight of the girls. Also, is Dan joking in the commentary, or has he actually never heard of Frogger?

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
Makes sense. Luke has enough information that seeing these four together lets him connect some important dots, which the Balance arc went to some length to prevent him from doing and seems more important than NP storylines usually are.
Meanwhile Camdin and [TBD] know that Rhoda and Cat are magic, which can cause drama, but don't have enough connections to spill that secret before the mainline comics get there.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
Dan's joking about the Frogger reference he put in the strip is confusing people? I really hope Dan doesn't read this thread, or he'll get even more extreme about spelling literally everything out.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
I'm late to the party on Monday's comic. But reading Dan's commentary it seems he too is A man of culture.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
And, see the commentary in the May 16 NP. It just goes to show for every person who tells Dan that he overexplains things and wastes time there are just as many people who tell him they're confused and he doesn't explain enough. That's probably why he isn't changing his writing style any time soon.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
One must always keep in mind that half of the population has below average intelligence. If you interact with enough people, you're going to find that many are dumber than yourself. When you make a story, you need to pick the level of required literacy and comprehension that you want, and then just ignore those too stupid to understand. If you try to make it approachable and understandable to all, you end up with something so simple and basic that even most kids would find it boring.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
As Celestia says, "Dan will dissect the joke when he realizes someone somewhere missed it" was predictable; indeed I predicted it. It remains unfortunate.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
The obvious guess, based on what we know: the discount enchantment compounds the more you do in one turn, so Susan was waiting until she had enough things to revive to get them all back at once really cheap and overwhelm the board.

One Mass Removal Spell, coming up. And after the Boardwipe, Susan's creatures will return in: The Day of the Dead Ghosts on Cards
The foreshadowing on cheaper spells in combination with mentioning the costs of re-casting the Ghosts sounds and no mention of a huge Hand Size sounds to me like Susan will cast those.Huckster-Avatar by Mehoaido from DeviantArt. And yes, the cat is called "Salem".

This look on Jay goes unreasonably hard.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
So um... That bit in the commentary about the experience with drawing ghosts speaks to me.

So I see that Susan has finally discovered retroactive stage fright!

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
Well, that's not exactly subtle shipping going on.
I do really like the "I really hit it off with this person but I'm also getting some bad vibes" conflicting feelings we're seeing from Susan here.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
Look, Dan has to get Jay in Grace's polycule somehow, and it was either this or giving Sarah a fourth partner.
Annoyingly I liked Susan just being happily single and not looking for a relationship. It's a kind of representation modern media could do with more of. Maybe she's just experiencing Pon-farr.

Re: El Goonish Shive X: Please Don't Feel Bad
The affection here seems pretty one-sided from Jay/Jack/Jill, to me.
