The best of part of the comic is how everyone is now perfectly okay with the presence of the worm, even though they were running from it in terror only two pages ago. Clearly, they were all in on it from the start.

Am I the only one that took Wednesdays comic to mean some form as mind-control as well as illusion powers from Blue?

Yeah, I took Red's rant as a pretty definite sign that Blue is screwing with their minds. If anyone would know Blue could do something like that, and be utterly unimpressed by it, she would.

I wonder if you can only be hurt in the ether if you are still attached to your body. Someone brought up how Jeanne hurt Annie in the ether causing her scratch, thinking that maybe she was an exception for some reason. I guess that is still possible.

Thank you so very much mystery person. I shall now converse about Gunnerkrigg a lot (well, a little, the new page isn't til tomorrow ).

I have to say, the expressions are possibly the coolest thing about this chapter. I just love Red's multitudinous faces.

I just get the impression that attacks from deadly Gol-Shogegs! (or should that be Gols-Shogeg? unusual pluralisation is fun) are kinda mundane around here. Blue's just actin' out, she does it every week guuuuh.

So it turns out that Annie did name Red after all! Nobody seems to mind.

So I guess Blue can plant memories, similar to how when you're in a dream and you just "know" something, but when you wake up, you can't believe you were stupid enough to believe something so obviously impossible.

Or something.

While I'd love to use Kickstarter for some project ideas I have in mind, I am not American, so I am not able to use their service! They require a US bank account, state ID and major US credit card, amongst other things.

However, I've had word that the Vol 2 reprint is basically finished. I'll be sure to let people know when I have more conrete news.

At least the other faeries aren't reacting badly to Annie naming one of them. Blue even seems really impressed with Red and her new name. Although it will be interesting to see how Red feels about her new name (Once she regains her senses).

The solution, clearly, is to start a Kickstarter to cover your moving expenses so you can relocate to the US and start a Kickstarter.

I guess they don't hang around normal humans much (at least not ones who don't know to avoid it), if they haven't all gotten names already. It'd take minutes for any normal human to nickname someone without a name.

I really really hope there's a fairy out there named something affectionately weird, like Bubbles or Sherlock or something. You know, stuff that you might call a stranger in your head. Alternatively, I hope that nobody got named something mean - I used to think of these strange old women on the bus I used to ride as "Denim Lady" and "Poodle Hair," and I wouldn't wish those on any fairies.

Quick question, is there a reason the RSS feed generally doesn't update until like 10 hours after the comic comes out?

I've done a bit of research to see whether there are similar services that operate in the UK, and it turns out there are, both UK-specific and international. I have no idea if any of these are appropriate for comics, reputable, or otherwise non-useless, but my search turned up Indiegogo, Rockethub, Crowdfunder, Ulule, Wefund, and Wedidthis.

I did this too! There was a playground aide at my elementary school I thought of as "Mustache Lady" because I was a huge jerk when I was little (also she had a mustache)
