If you had to have three Shelly-like half-sisters, you'd be a bit stressed out too. Shelly flits through life like a butterfly whose wing flaps cause horrible tornadoes of problems for everyone but her.

I find it necessary to point out that glow-in-the-dark bunny rabbits are a real thing.

Isn't money money, why poopoo guys who have lots of small donations

Because they've taken in way too much capital relative to their revenue, which actually means that they've sold their company for more than it's worth to aggressive investors who are now handing down directives of "grow faster, now, or we'll find someone who can."

Half-sister, even. That's what makes her really mad.

Lol, that garbage is what Jeph gives his patreon subscribers? How the hell does he make so much drat money?

On the internet, just like everywhere else, the worst people have all the money.

That's being overly harsh. Jeph is hardly the worst- not by a long shot.

At worst, he is like, the Denny's of webcomics. And I mean that as no insult. For most it's perfectly serviceable but never exactly push the format forward.

Also Mods please change my name to The Denny's of Webcomics.

I'm sorry, I should have been clear instead of trying to be pithy. Jeph is fine, but it's the people donating money for this stuff who are the worst people.

Personally, Penny Arcade is just fine. I get a chuckle and move on with my day, or I don't and move on with my day.

In an era where there are monthly swap meets for people who don't want to pay full price for skiis, you can find somebody to trade actual magical spells with.

It looks like it not just revisiting it, but retelling the flashback!

Schlock Mercenary's three shortages are PTUs (which are used to make powerplants), data, and developed habitable space. Most of the conflicts in the story are related to the first two.

Schlock's not the biggest standout in either art or writing but it's still relatively clever and engaging enough to keep me glancing at a daily strip in the morning. Besides, I've been reading this thing since I was like fifteen.

Yeah, we know GG is a time travel story and also a story about personal identity. Agatha going back in time and stopping her mother from turning into history's greatest evil would be her biggest possible win.

The small scale mercenary unit having a big impact is kind of the point of Schlock. Hijacking the dark matter body gear on the ship let them engage the bad guys in a novel way they hadn't even considered possible and in a way that Schlock was very experienced at, and their Andromeda side operation was just more of what the Toughs were already good at - hitting a small important target, taking it over, and using it to do something big. They won because the Paan'uri were pretty smart, but weren't really that good at warfare. One of them panicked and logged into the compromised network with admin credentials and that was that.
