Re: El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18
Okay, not gonna lie, having Tedd go wouldn't be a bad idea
Tedd is: Relatively friendly, intelligent, likely to get on good terms with science griffin... And ungodly powerful magically speaking, which, under the hypothesis that magic power correlates to authority and perceived authority may result in a more positive reaction.
...Though, as I type this it occurs to me that someone too powerful might be taken as a threat.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

If Ed Verres is even considering bringing the senior Dunkels along, that means that at some point they were highly trained in some field or other. Which is difficult to reconcile with Mrs Dunkel dropping out of college to raise a child.

I think it's just more of Ed's parental blindness. Fact is that bringing Grace and Tedd would be good ideas, and neither of them would have much to fear (Grace after all comes from a weird supersoldier program and she is absurdly powerful, Tedd could make a wand or watch of very expeditious retreat if needed), while bringing in the Dunkels would be a terrible idea. (Unless Dan Shives is going for the surprise reveal that they're overpowered badasses too but that wouldn't bring anything interesting to the story as well as contradict all their previous characterization.)
Adults that could be called in: Adrian Raven and Sensei Greg. Would be nice to see Greg again, actually.Hark! An avatar drawn by Kate Beaton!

Thank you for being the voice of reason here, Tedd.

Yep, first they were oddly lenient and unfazed about the whole Elliot-Ellen thing, then they turned out oddly well-organised when they mounted a search party to look for Ellen when she was possessed by Sirlek.

Re: El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18
While I know the "has anyone ever named a character 'Spike' before" is likely in jest, the realization that Cowboy Bebop is likely no longer a mainstay of geeky anime kids/youths (beyond maybe the live action thing, if I remember correctly) hit me surprisingly hard there.
Probably will be rewatching it in a few days now. It's how these things tend to go.Last edited by Taevyr; 2022-01-25 at 05:02 PM.

Re: El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18
It's definitely in jest. I believe Dan has made references to Buffy the Vampire Slayer abd My Little Pony, both of which also have characters named Spike. That's just what I can think of offhand.
Land Before Time as another thing that immediately comes to mind, though no reference to that has ever been made as far as I recall.

Don't forget about Spike Lee and Spike Trotman. Yeah they're real people instead of characters but it totally counts.

According to Wikipedia, there's a character named Spike in the Dragonball franchise, and one from Happy Days.

Did Mr. Verres just acknowledge Tedd as a (sometimes) woman? Or was he counting the Kitsunes as family? But Akiko never struck me as stubborn.

Re: El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18
I remembered her, but if she and Grace were the only two women in the family, the phrasing "every other woman" would be weird, "the other woman" would be the expected phrasing.

Re: El Goonish Shive VII: The Comic is 20 Years Old, but the Cast is Still 18
Let's not discount Edward's potential siblings!
But yeah, he if he was just talking about himself, Tedd, and Grace he'd have likely used household instead of family. He's including Noriko at a minimum, and while we have no idea how wide a net he's casting he's from a line of powerful wizards and his wife's from a family of monster hunters. Both lend themselves to stubbornness.

It would be really weird if Edward said "family" and didn't mean his child's aunt who lives in the same town as him and her children. So...Noriko, Akiko, Nanase, and Nanase's-mother-who-doesn't-have-a-name (but sure has a lot of tortured apologetics on the fanwikis, sheesh).

Grace, you don't know what you're getting into.
With his exaggerated musculature and flamboyant poses and attitude, that guy *clearly* has a Stand.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

No Rater, She is an idealistic young teen who doesn't get the social etiquette around her and has great power hidden within herself.
that is practically the most powerful thing in shonen battle anime to ever exist. it wouldn't matter if he had the best stand for dodgeball, or even the greatest most powerful Stand to ever exist, because mid way through the fight when all hope seems lost, she'd suddenly have a better one. worse, he is a smug arrogant jerk who is questioning her power and thinks she thinks too highly of herself- he's practically the shonen battle protag's normal prey.Last edited by Lord Raziere; 2022-02-01 at 03:41 AM.

Then again, when that guy was surprised at the end of the previous strip, his hair indicates he was on the verge of going super-sayan.
Then again-again, Grace's hairstyle suggests she's somehow connected to Kurama. And he's not someone you want to mess with, lest you end up like Elder Toguro.My Perpetually-Unfinished Homebrew: Tier-3 Class Suite, Homestuck Races for Pathfinder, Homestuck Races for 5e, Psionic Class Redux
