I didn't mind PFSC ending but completely erasing it (And the follow up Michael Keaton comic) from existence...that seemed a bit much. But "John Campbell" was pretty clearly in a bad, bad place when everything went down, and I sincerely hope that they are doing better now. I finally found an archive of the whole thing about a month ago, though, and I'm glad to have it. I've already made many copies. (No such luck on the Michael Keaton series, though.)

Hmm, so Mildred has interacted with Erin Winters (Though I am not sure she was aware she was "gone" to begin with) - but does she know that The Boy has returned as well?

Straight White Shark posted:I know it's sad to feel nostalgic for the garbage fire that is Penny Arcade but man seeing some of those old strips make me really miss PA circa 10 years ago. Oh yeah, I can read pretty much any strip from late 2001 through like 2008 and remember exactly what was going on in my life when it originally ran. It makes me miss everything from circa 10 years ago - the strip, video games in general, the world at large, etc.

ZearothK posted:I wonder if John Allison's original plan was to literally have Scout blow up the party and kill every single character from Scary Go Round to end the comic. Almost certainly. The final print collection of the original Scary Go Round includes rough draft notes and concept sketches for how he wanted to end SGR back in 2009 - which involved a Tackleford-leveling battle between giant robots that was to leave just 3 or 4 named characters alive in the end (I want to say they were Esther and the Mystery Girls? I don't have the book at hand to check at the moment.) It seems like JA's default setting when he's planning on winding a project down is "Burn it to the ground," only to mellow considerably when he sits down to actually commit the story to record. That final panel of Scout is sufficiently ominous, though. Missing from Shelley's party: my favorite Tackleford personality/crowd shot filler, TV's Mr. Gravy

Everybody in Tackleford is aware that they are being watched at all times, has taken an Intro to Theatre class, and that is why they always play everything "open" to the audience/camera. I mean, how else do you explain Shelley and Amy's unique gymnastics? (I think that's my favorite guest comic ever; to this day I admire that Allison would willfully publish such a scathing takedown of...pretty much his whole steeze, to that point.)

New character, assuming there won't be some retcon in the near future. I checked SGR last night right after midnight and saw a different strip that's probably a day or two ahead in the story...checking it again this morning out of habit threw me for a loop.

That article struck me as more damning of everybody who was around it and said nothing for all those years, given that John K has a reputation even among casual animation fans as "Oh yeah, that guy's a total creep." Every revelation in that Buzzfeed piece was simultaneously shocking in its content and the least surprising thing imaginable, given his reputation and general vibe. (I recall reading something about his "mentorship" of young women in the field well over a decade ago that soured me on him forever, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was.) Dude must be amazingly charismatic in person, though, to inspire that kind of loyalty. To convince people who are working on The Ripping Friends to think "This is groundbreaking, important stuff; stuff that's going to make my career! I should probably just keep my mouth shut about him showing me those photos of unconscious teen girls and/or his genitals."

Yvonmukluk posted:Also, Allison's troll game is on point. Does he read the thread? Every use of Desmond Fishman since the end of Scary Go Round has been a "Oi, about half me fans hate this bloke" troll. It's not limited to this thread. (If you do read the thread JA please reformat your website so your strips aren't cramped into a frame 75% the size of the actual artwork. It kills all the little details, like Shelley's Lunar Sea Trilogy poster in today's strip.)
