Sort of on topic.
Has anyone purchased the "library binding" versions of the books? Wanna take a picture and show me what they look like? Thanks!
I started reading yesterday. I didn't stop until I was up to date. Must have books now! Also, it has re-ignited my spark. Thank you so much Foglios!

I now am sort of gun shy about reading the comic, it's kind of silly but I read in an interview that there is a definate ending planned for the comic. While it's made many a good story like Babylon 5 and such better to not wander aimlessly until funding dries up, it also means that it will end.
I'm sure we got time as there are many thread still to be tied up but... no takey away my GG.

Frankly I've found it to be dragging on a bit recently (same setting, same faces, same situation) so I'm looking forward to the current scenario being resolved.

Also, the reappearance of so many old faces suggests to me that some tying up of loose ends is coming.

My money's on a showdown, a big fight, and a chance for all to lay their cards on the table, with, no doubt, hilarious consequences*...
*by 'hilarious consequences', I mean that the next chapter will be set up.

I have stopped trying to predict where an author is taking a story.
I have found that I rarely have a clue where my own characters are going to end up.

Wonderful, isn't it? To quote Sir Terry Practhet from the intro to Equal Rites "... at least, not unless the characters get completely out of the author's control. They might." |

Hey! Thought I'd share the pic I snapped at Emerald City on Satureday- I went up, said hi, told him I loved the comic and had been reading it for years... then felt bad that I couldn't buy a book and fled in shame. Oh joy of college budgets. |

Love reading Othar's twitter. Wow, I'm amazed at how well I can picture the scene from 2 or 3 sentences. And Othar really must be killed for the good of humanity.

I may be projecting, but the new Dingbot looks female.
(Of course, they could be just setting up an one "Mistaken Identity / Abbot and Costello Deal with Twin Waitresses" series of jokes with the two identical Dingbots. That would make me laugh.)

"One little clank?" These things replicate themselves, right? I wonder how many the other little guy has built by now. No wonder the castle is worried...

Today's page is full of so much win I nearly died. I did manage to fall over while jumping up and down on my bed at any rate. I do so love Agatha.

I am wondering if Little Miss Pinky Pie isn't a Mongfish, like Agatha's mum? She's certainly got the facial shape and coloring for it.
And I was so happy to see Agatha ready to put Pinky Pie in a world of hurt.

Please. While Zola's a tool, and an apparently disposable one, she isn't irredeemable. It isn't that she's inherently evil, just self-interested. Plus from her perspective, likely because she either isn't a spark or hasn't broken through if she is, the castle is irreparable (the hetrodynes vanished, what, sixteen years prior, and despite the Baron's attempts at fixing it in that time it's STILL a giant death trap.) and would be better off killed. Plus she's generally only as filled in as her handlers had wanted her to be, so at present I have no real feelings one way or another for her save perhaps for a bit of pity at how easy she is to be pulled in as the fall-person.
My thoughts on the arch ahve been somewhat mixed as of late. I like the window dressing and diolog. However this is an overdone example of 'potential love interests meeting after a seperation in a position where one will mistrust the other and the guy is left trying, and failing, to explain to girl that he's not really a back stabbing two timing fiend. this followed by a temporary falling out and eventual reconciliation after it looks like Big Bad has won.' Granted I could be wrong, and i hope I am because I don't like predictable situations like this because they're entirely overused.
