DarkCrawler posted:Hey, I just found this comic and read it from the beginning to end in one sitting!  This was really really interesting to read and I'm definitely hooked now on this like I am on Homestuck. It's like a mixture of Zork, Harry Potter, Scifi AND Steampunk all at the same time... or something. It's good!

I love the horse's sunglasses flying off as its head hangs out of the car. Wow, the fact that we even have a horse wearing sunglasses in a rice rocket is pretty hilarious on its own, drat. I also have been going back the whole story for the past couple days - my first time rereading it all. I'm noticing a lot of interesting details this time around, and it's really increased my appreciation for how well-planned so much of the plot is.

idonotlikepeas posted:Plus, you got to take something out of your head and put it onto paper and enrich the lives of thousands of people all around the world. I realize that may not be that much comfort in your current position, but hopefully it means something. Yeah, seriously, this. There are so many people who want to get published, even for free, but don't manage to for whatever reason. You've not only been published, but you've been putting out some damned fine work for other people to enjoy, whether they bought the hard copy of it or just read it online. Be proud of yourself! Gunnerkrigg Court is a really cool story with excellent art and I'm always happy to see it update. If you haven't made serious money off it (so far), that's not something to be ashamed of. You're giving something back to the world, and it's appreciated. That might sound hokey or whatever, but it's true!

cloudy music posted:I discovered this comic via ChibiSoma's custom title (which, unfortunately, he has since replaced with a far less humorous one) Wait, what?  I discovered this comic when the same friend who got me into Homestuck last year recommended it to me. I didn't hesitate to check it out after his other recs. I started reading late on a Saturday night before bed, just to see what it was like. Before I knew it I had spent about 4 hours and got half way through the archive. I finished the next day and was caught up right around when Bud was first shown in that bucket (so pretty recently). I'm still convinced Coyote is the best character in the whole series, and one of the most entertaining characters I've read, period, in recent memory.

There is no reason to think that something bad will happen here. I mean this is Gunnerkrigg Court, not some horribly depressing dark comedy or whatever. The sword is behind him. It might be pressed against his metal frame, which could almost be dangerous! But probably isn't because he's a robot and has already survived one body being completely destroyed and rendered into paperclips.

Tuxedo Ted posted:As awesome as Coyote is, that one was the biggest canvas. You can't just buy it on a whim and hang it on any old wall. Something like that takes planning and forethought. Good point. I have the wall space for something like that (unless it's bigger than like 6 feet), but can understand most people not having that much room. Let alone disposable income.

Ahahahahhaa holy poo poo Parley, yes let's just knock this magical sword against a [semi-]living thing and see what happens! Only thing that could have been funnier is if she dropped it and it bore a hole straight to the center of the earth, then magma came up through the floor. I'm not worried about robot, though. He's gonna get a new body and this one will probably make a fine box of staples or something.

Also, I didn't realize at first why Kat was asking Parley to take them all to her workship - I mean, what, is everyone so distraught they can't walk themselves? Then I saw the last panel and felt really really dumb, and also excited. Group teleporting? Now that would be fun. Well, as long as it doesn't end up like The Fly. [edit] vvv Of course. I don't actually consider something like that even possible in this comic

I wonder if we'll ever get a satellite view of the court. That would be awesome (although it would probably take forever to draw, even if sourced from a real photo).

Tubgirl Cosplay posted:It seems sort of significant that the Court, forest, and river have all been treated as effectively infinite, with no boundaries or clear relation to the outside world or internal geography beyond the small portion given over to the boarding school. Defining it that way would sort of run against the mystery. I really don't think it's going to come up in next chapter that oh yeah the Court is twelve miles across, shaped sort of like an egg and up the M62 north of Manchester True, and clearly a good design decision for the story. But considering Kat's been on vacation elsewhere in the world, I think we can at least assume it isn't this all-encompassing mass of urban jungle. Not yet at least! The more I think about this kind of stuff, the more curious I get about the unspoken details and hints we've gotten so far.

I'd always be distracted by people walking by if that was me.

OK this is fantastic. Also, looks like [Edit] Nevermind that's not the teacher, she's got a student uniform on. Derp. It's also pretty impressive that the students can mess around in the fancy magic world while still typing on their computers and paying attention to some complex school stuff in the real one. Meanwhile we've only ever seen Annie kinda zone out into zombie mode whenever she goes aetherial. I guess these Foley folks are all REALLY good at multitasking.

Ironic Twist posted:Who gives a poo poo? I do, because learning how things like Gunnerkrigg Court are designed is interesting, not because hanging on every pixel is ammo for a crazy theory. You might wanna go easier on the snippy comments in the future. Somehow I find it really endearing and hilarious that Jones has a traditional dumbphone, but then it dawned on me that we don't know for sure what year this story is set. I've always assumed it was similar to the current time, but maybe in the story it's more like early 2000s or even late 1990s (in which case Jones' phone is probably totally badass, haha). Or, hell, it could be something completely off if technology developed at a different rate due to the world's ethereal mechanics. Also possible: the phone is actually a robot, and the transferring call voice was the phone itself talking.

So how long until the entity of Gunnerkrigg Court is displayed via forum avatars? (Then everyone has to post in order) ....and back to the actual topic, I'm excited for Monday both to see if the update schedule increases in frequency AND to see where the story is going with Carver. I'm glad to see some more humanizing details about him, even if he's still a kid in this flashback.
