SimonChris posted: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.

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. e: also it looks like Blue does have illusion powers or something of the sort, good guess on that

I guess ex-fairies can only be named by humans maybe? Or whoever first calls them by a name? I kinda hope that Annie goes on a naming spree after figuring this out.

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. EDIT: Whaa huh?!  Dodgeball fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Feb 3, 2012 |

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). I don't think the text is as clear as I would have liked it.

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.

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. Poodle Hair and Denim Lady are awesome names. Denim is way better than Red.

Phew! Gunnerkrigg really is one of the best comics ever, it's the little things, like Red's face in those two panels. Identical but two separate drawings, there's no lazing around in this comic.

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.
