Wandering Eye is a nickname she got because she likes to ogle dudes. Lots of dudes.

My favorite explanation.

Gotta be Parley or Antimony's name would have just come up.

I want to see Jones taking down a mammoth with a rock and her teeth.

I'm afraid this has gotten to the point where I'm not really sold on how this concept is being communicated.

Nice looking bison, though.

VVV That phrase dramatically predated Newton.

So we see the critter. Don't know if it's really scarier than Coyote and his ilk, though.

I think it's a little bizarre to immediately assume someone who has long been on your side has suddenly done a complete 180 without even taking literally seconds to identify context, especially on a site like Twitter where people often aren't able to retain the context for all of their output due to the format.

For anyone's workplace that bans Tumblr,

quote:

This weekend I did a stupid and terrible thing. For a full explanation, all you have to do is search for �gunnerkrigg� right here on Tumblr to see that I essentially threw away 8 years or so of work by being an idiot on Twitter. It�s better to leave the description of events to external sources, with all the hyperbole necessary to illustrate what an rear end I was, because I can offer no excuse for what I did or try to reason my way out of it. Of course I cannot link to them as that was part of the problem. All I can do is apologise, which I did.

I accept that an apology is sometimes not enough, and I will not be forgiven for my mistake by a lot of people. The people I hurt have not been offered forgiveness or understanding in this world, so I should not be treated differently. Their life experiences have forced them to identify and remove anything that hurts them and, while it was certainly not my intention, I did hurt them. Life is too short, and yet so vast that nobody should tolerate that which causes them pain. My actions have caused me to be removed from those people�s lives, and that can never be undone.

That said, yesterday was pretty low for me. I felt I had two choices; continue with my life, or loving kill myself. As someone who was recently diagnosed with severe depression, the latter was an uncomfortably closer option than it has been since I decided to seek help. However, while it might disappoint some people, I decided that a broken neck would make it difficult to work on my comic and this morning I realised I still have work to do.

As my job and livelihood relies solely on my readers, the very real scenario now is that I might not be able to continue this line of work for as long as I�d have liked. But until I am unable to ensure it, the comic will update as normal.

Poor Tom. I'd hate to lose Gunnerkrigg Court over this. I've been harsh about the pacing recently and some other things, but I really do think it's one of the all-star webcomics around.

It's a bit of a double-standard where if someone makes a poor joke you're allowed to tell them to kill themselves. It's not everyone deserves exactly the same level of sensitivity but I have a hard time reading through the Tumblr comments and not thinking that this is an unfair scenario.

If you look through the Gunnerkrigg tag on Tumblr, people absolutely were.

My concern is that this entire scenario doesn't seem oriented on what I would consider the best outcome (once a mistake is already made)--Tom realizing his mistake, acknowledging it, and having people be glad that there is now a better understanding. What is he supposed to do now?

I am a little sensitive to the issue having known a few suicides in my time but frankly, I would love for everyone to stop telling anyone to kill themselves or die, even if it is now in the colloquial form of "die [adjective] scum".

Cleaning up house, character-wise, I think is important at this point and he's a logical choice.

Your avatar just reminds me, what was the payoff to Hettie? I actually don't really remember that chapter. Isn't it that if you break your contract you die?

I think that's truer of Kat than it is of Annie, since Annie has a few "moments" that are clearly not her finest.
