Mercury Hat posted:One of my favorites is Annie's first medium job with the boy in the hospital. Her figuring out what happened and the realization of what the weird lizard thing is were well done. Totally agree on both counts. A Ghost Story is fantastic even as a standalone story.

Here's how I'm thinking the next few pages will go: Friday: Something horrible happens. Monday: Aftermath of something horrible happening. Filler page, end of chapter, and possibly hiatus. Perfect way to torture GC readers for a week (or possibly longer).

Boxman posted:Great comic today without a doubt, but I wish he would have seeded the "Surma was leading Reynard on" thing a little earlier. I feel like it would have let tension about the scenario build a bit better. Glad I'm not the only one that feels this is all too much too quick. It makes it harder to be affected by a plot development when it comes out of practically nowhere. That said, I'll still be ing like hell.

Yeah, now both of them are in the wrong. I hope this ends up with both of them being stuck there together over the summer.

See, it's easier to take Renard's side because we don't know what kind of relationship Annie had with her father and exactly what it does to her when she hears other people badmouthing him. We KNOW how much Annie is DESTROYING Renard because we know what he felt for Surma. But what does Annie have with her father? He abandoned her, and he's quite possibly the reason why she's so emotionally stunted. Until we know exactly why she's so quick to defend him, it's hard to take her side. This would all be so much easier to discuss if it was a book we could read from beginning to end. loving Webcomics.

Tubgirl Cosplay posted:Kat is also an actual child in the custody of her Court parents so it's not like she was gonna be able to help much with the whole 'staying away from the Court and everyone who's been lying to her' thing True. Another thing, how was she let back into the Court after her stay in the forest? If Jones was right, and she's putting a lot of people in danger, why let her back in at all? Or am I missing something?

The way she said "I know, I know" is very telling. Makes me think that near the end of the story we're going to get some traumatic childhood flashback to the moment that caused all of her issues.

Kismet posted:One of the things that I love so much about this comic is that there has never been a single moment that's felt mean-spirited or cruel, even on the rare occasion when characters are intentionally being unpleasant to each other. It has a really gentle outlook that puts people's personalities and intentions first, so it never feels like there are winners and losers, and nobody is ever crushed and devastated by the drama. The effects of people's actions are subtle, and the characters are (mostly) philosophic about their ups and downs, and in the end nobody is too harshly judged. It makes for such a refreshing reading experience. Yeah, it's how I wish more people (hell, even me) acted in real life. But to play devil's advocate, is it realistic? I mean, we were just talking a few pages ago about how teenagers acted purely on their emotions.

Transplanted from the webcomic thread: Am I the only one who doesn't really care for City Face? Not that it's bad, there's just really not that much to it. Plus Tom used to do guest strips in between books and I'd love to see other webcomic artists like Der-Shing Helmer and John Allison and SuperHappy put their own interpretation and style on the characters. Plus Tom needs an actual god damned break.

So just as a discussion-starter, since it's a Friday: Where did you first discover GC? I found out about it in the Ctrl-Alt-Delete thread, of all places.

And then Paz will walk by and go "wow, I didn't know drag queens went to our school".
