>>150219539Alright, but seeing this and remembering how it looked back in 2006 is a trip.

>>150219617You goons told me his haircut looked the same.
>>150218800Also Damien had cool glowing tattoosShame to miss out on more of that
>>150219707By his own admission, Dan was sick of Damien by the time he killed himself. EGS definitely needs a Bad Guy, but Damien isn't it. The only point I'd like to see him again is him jobbing to Lord Tedd.
>>150219843Grace should really know more about assassination. You'd think the evil lab guys would at least explain how it works in theory.
Our story has a bad guy again and I immediately hate her
CongratulationsYou're officially autistic
>>150220351>Did you stay up ALL NIGHT learning quantum physics?This would've been on a Keenspot ad back in the day.
>>150219707>>150219862So, important question: We the audience often see the Uryuoms in alien forms, but presumably most people see the projections. Does Tedd's dad see through Uryuom illusions by default or no?I ask because its effectively a question of whether Tedd's dad decided he wanted to bang Lavender when all he saw was an alien, or did that change after she started using clone forms and became for him an objectively 10/10 "Yor Forger but Blonde" milf.
>>150220514How much of EGS' magic system is Dan looking at Photoshop and thinking "What if it was IRL?"
>>150219679You've been gooned!
VERY fast dunkel running at incredible hihg speed
I am very endeared to Kevin
>>150220608His enthusiasm is infectious.
>>150220594>>150220608>>150220617What? Bros casually princess carry each other all the time.
>>150219617I miss the big glasses.
>>150220780I like him not using them being a sign of his growth and comfort with himself. But damn the coke bottle glasses really helped with Dan's sameface.
>>150219679Ok is like 30% more faggy but pretty similar.
>>150220423I genuinelly thought it was a Invader Zim type of situation.
>Grace in the last panelShe'll get these two cuddling spicy-style yet
>>150221012Grace is not going to become a therapist, she's gonna be a porn director.
It's time!
>>150221046In this friend group, those are not mutually exclusive.
So this is where/when Parable happens
>>150219679Sorry boss.
>>150221246This is where event somewhat like Parable happen, but it is not a canon story itself, only the last big is likely true to the wider comic
Awwww
>>150220081So is this guy related to the buff highschooler who challenged Grace to a volleyball contest?
WhoWho am I rooting for?
>early 2024Feels like Dan was just a bit ahead of the curve with this one
Why is Ted back wearing glasses
>>150220394Im not reading that
>>150221525That'd make her the third, possibly fourth child of a glowie. Maybe Moperville is in Maryland.
>>150220469Oh yeah, whatever happened to Lord Tedd?
>>150221901Sorry, Him. He. I think EGS' gender shit is starting to infect my brain. That or I need to sleep more.
>>150220625Yeah
>>150220772Tedd you suck as an inventor
>>150221901>Glowies are the only ones in Goonland who get laid
And on that incredibly woke note we're going to call things for todayDang, we're almost done thisGetting really close now
>>150222013Haha, i love jay trying to take the masquerade seriously. Shes like the one new employee who hasnt figured out that they're paid by the hour yet
>>150221152kiss her you fool!
>>150221203You don't give someone a slutty kimono and call them a him, no matter how large her dick is.
>>150221246They are basing their search in assumptions.
>>150222837Yep. And there won't be any consequences for their bullshit either, I guarantee. When all is said and done they'll be staunch friends and allies.
>>150221660Check date...No Chat GPT already existed. But this was before cyber psychosis was a thing.
>>150219843>short hair GraceYou know I wonder if Dan just straight up dislikes drawing long hair. The only major characters with long hair at this point are Susan, Ashley and Nanase and two of the three have their hair in ponytails 99% of the time. And given how distinctly unfeminine Susan is I'm surprised he hasn't given her a haircut either.
>>150222367Sort of the Hope arc is at least 2 more days. Add in another 2 for the NP remainder as well.
>>150222114I skipped the dream comic, was her name Jack in that dream?
Tedd might be my least favorite character, worse than Ashley. He's like the embodiment of how babyfied EGS has become.
>>150222215Tsundere
>>150222367Thanks Magister, how many storytimes are left?
I still don't understand how Hope "looks like a middle schooler" when she looks no physically different from any of the other girls. That line feels like it was put in just to shoot down Sarah/Hope because goddamn it, Dan will always err on going against the ships anyone likes to do ships nobody likes.
>>1502235133 or 4? Maybe?We're at 400 images left, plus whatever is new since storytime started
>>150223073>You know I wonder if Dan just straight up dislikes drawing long hair.I don't think so, long hair comes up in too many of his designs for that to be the case. I think he just really likes messing around with hair in general since it's a simple, low stakes way to change a given character's appearance, on top of being a common visual shorthand for a given character's personality.
>>150223561I do think she looks like a middle schooler, maybe is the hair, or maybe is my brain comparing her to her former self.
>>150223595The problem is the same face. Is hard to keep the character recognizable if the comic is monocrome and the character change their looks constantly.
>>150220258It can help with ADHD too and I think that was a confirmed Tedd thing.
>>150223595Cutting hair is a major deal, some people once their hair gets cut can never grow it out again. Also it can take years to grow back even if it is possible.
>>150220415Why does the squirrel cry?
>>150220362Yeah, definitely ADHD.
>>150223595I think he likes long hair as a transformation variant that he only has to draw a few times but so many characters either have shorter hair, have gotten haircuts to have shorter hair or have long hair worn in ways where it looks shorter that it seems clear it's not something he wants to draw regularly.>>150223597She has pigtails, it's a normal thing. Ellen has them too now. She's close in height to Grace, practically the same height as Sarah, and about as stacked as the more normal girls like Sarah and Ashley. There's nothing separating her appearance from any of the other high schoolers.
>>150223409Its because he is the main character of EGS. Nothing happens without Tedds involvement, or if it starts that way it loops back around to him fast.You could theoretically imagine a version of EGS without Elliot, though it would be very different. There is no version of EGS without Tedd.Thus, as the central figure, Tedd gets the worst of Dan's flanderization and self-flaggelation. The infantile regression, the embarassment of daring to have been horny, the misplaced social justice stuff, the fetish for exposition, etc.Tedd should be the best character, but he's not allowed to do anything fun anymore without apologizing for it.Like, in this storytime: Tedd uses his spell and accidentally sees through Elliot's shirt, and has a dramatic "I have been physically struck in pain" reaction and shield's his eyes. Despite the fact that:1) Tedd turns into a girl frequently. He has seen more tits than the owner of a stripclub. 2) Tedd *made his glasses have a function to see through clothes in an early strip*. X-ray vision itself isn't new to him, he's literally done this before!Tedd turning this into a major disaster is nonsense. Early comic Tedd's reaction to seeing through Elliot's clothes would have either been to quietly blush but not bring it up, or think to himself "Nice".
>>150220822Ha, ominous.
>>150224296I think a big part of it is how Tedd is praised for everything constantly and everyone treats him with kid gloves, like every scene he's in has to have some character eventually compliment him on how smart he is, how cool he is, how they're proud of him, how amazing he is, how cute or attractive he is, etcetra and so on and he's essentially treated in story as if he's the Chosen One and the Messiah. He's a Mary Stu to an absurd degree.It's the constant wanking while not allowing him to be horny anymore and having to be a pure fwuffbaww cinnamon roll that makes him so irritating. Tedd is never incorrect or wrong in any significant way. He is not allowed to have anything approaching a negative personality trait. Everyone must bow down and suck his girl-dick in any interaction with him. Even if they're ostensibly criticizing it'll be like "Wow that Tedd sure is sloppy and untrained... but he's such a genius and has accomplished more than entire organizations with centuries of collective experience have ever been able to." It's absurd.
>>150220822I found funny how he is barechested, has a cape and a cyber arm and yet he has a completely normal ass wristwatch.
>>150220892>>150220904>「PEACE SELLS」
>>150224510> completely normal ass wristwatch.
>>150221905>Jay has to play teen detective to avoid using the wrong pronouns for Tedd. This is so weird. I figured trans advocates would just ask if they were unsure, and TERFs would just not care and use whatever came out. What flavour of autism is this?
>>150221080Ha!
>>150224697Dan flavored.
>>150222367Oh, Smug Bastard. He was more fun than the entire main cast has been for years (while fully dressed.)
>>150224697>What flavour of autism is this?Jay deal seem to be not wanting to talk to anyone not 100% on her terms
>>150221287>Strangers are talking to me, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!Huh, suddenly Arthur is relatable.
>>150221870Turns out he actually was nearsighted.
>>150224683Not the gauntlet, look at the other hand.
>>150224982Yes, I know. I'm saying that Tedd has made magic watches before. So it being a 'completely normal' watch is a risky assumption.
>>150224683Each hand is a different transformation or clone form. When the hour hand hits 4, it's Sarah O'Clock. Hour hand and minute hand are at 6? Why it's tits thirty.
>>150224997True. God alone knows what sort of thing an Evil version of Ted would keep a wristwatch transformer around for. Most likely an "Oh Shit" button.
>>150223407She gave a clearly fake name off the top of her head, and yeah it was Jack.
>>150222205Oh no, Grace got another one.
>>150225325In this town neurodivergent queers no one can stand up to The Extrovert
>>150222233Poor Hope, stuck with baggage of having been Hurricane Crazy Bitch in her previous life.
>>150224296you're forgetting that tedd has half a decade of repressed homo-lust for elliot and couldnt use his usual "im not gay" repression tactic because elliot was a girl at the time. disgust and repulsion are psychological defences he uses subconsiously to protect himself from something socially unacceptable (being gay for elliot in front of his dad)
>>150224697>i dont want to have to talk to this person but if i fuck this one thing up they might yell at meits relateable flavour
>>150221409Cute
>>150224997Punctuality is important for magic dictators, so it's not that odd an assumption.
>>150221763Naruto Run
>>150218800I agree, and have thought this as well. Though, I think it would work if Dan just came up with another villain that was meant to be an irredeemable villain instead of a misunderstood character with good intentions and am afraid if Damien came back it would eventually end in him and Grace crying and hugging.
>>150219668I wouldn't let Grace wear bottoms. The tail forcing the shirt up is too good an opportunity to waste.
>>150219707Woah, we're getting Lavender already>>150222367DUDE! I just read this like this year. We're almost done. I'm going to miss this. I don't get to talk about EGS with anyone. Would be really cool to storytime Gunnerkrigg Court next. I'd love you forever.
>>150219785I think that's because he had a thing for Grace at the time and Damien was mean to her. That's wild. I know he was updating daily for awhile but come on Damien's the most interesting point in the whole comic.
>>150220551ALL
>>150225789Bringing Damion back would be almost possible. Damion's probably dead in the Lord Ted timeline, but we didn't see him get killed. Magus was supposed to be killed by some sort of device he had during a training session, but it ported him to EGS Earth Limbo instead. Damian didn't have a device, and certainly not the limbo device, but alternate Damians and Graces could be made by alternate secret government cloning programs in the alternate dimensions. Including the Griffon universe.
>>150224890Arthur's one of the few characters since all the edges were sanded off I still like. Him and his assistant are both good.
>>150220881> I thought it was too soon for thisIT"S BEEN TWENTY YEARS IT BETTER START HAPPENING
>>150220892> Everything is negotiableAwesome moment. How long before Edward has to walk it back and say he learned a lesson about consent?
>>150221080Why did they never discuss this before?
>>150221525Honestly? Probably since he even specified his entire family looked like that.
>>150221598I'm gonna be honest, other world people always make me tune out after what happened with Magus. I just know it's not going anywhere
>>150221783Oh, hey! Those guys!>>150221806Oh, great. This chick.
>>150224697Dan has a fetish for androgyny/gender TF so it kind of appeals to his interests to have people left confused and guessing about sex characteristics
>>150222114> Dead NameSigh...
>>150223273What order are we doing it in?
>>150227477I think an alternate Damien is asking for trouble because Dan will change him. It would have to be our Damien.
>>150227723Dan only thought of it when he started this storyline, not when the whole Ellen alternate universe story happened 20 years ago.
>>150227860If Damien ever came back it would be as Damienne and she would be a cute cinnamon roll looking to atone for what she did (or is just misunderstood if from an alternate universe) and eveyone would be supportive of her and she'd be Susan's friend and get into card games, D&D, video games, transormation and all the other nerd hobbies that Da— the main characters have.
>>150227711you think a man like edward verrez has to worry about that?
>>150227889This is funny, but also kind of horrifying when you think about it.
>>150228327The man can never know the simple joy of a novelty T-shirt that says "Free Moustache Rides" because the line circles the block twice before he can explain it is merely a ribald jest.
Calling it now, Lord Tedd isn't evil and never was. He's literally just a Tedd that understands his powers more, and gave magic to his world like Tedd always wanted to. This caused a lot of chaos for all of the reasons we already know, and he gained a bunch of followers who he gifted the secrets of magic to.
>>150230678What about sending a killer goo to their universe?
>>150231079A simple misunderstanding, nothing that can't be resolved with six months of exposition.
>>150230678Im expecting Dan to make Lord ted evul because he never turned into a girl, and somehow somehow this made him a bad person, and the climax will be a talk no justu with ted, ending on lord ted turning into a girl. But will never happen because Dan will never finish this.
>>150219740I assume the first thing he’s known for is being Noriko’s son?
>>150223073I think he can’t change Susan’s hair at this point, it’s too iconic.
>>150219539Why would the Uryuoms restrict the tech that makes them massively more powerful. Trying to prevent humans from getting the tech sure, but they would want to take the critical advatage this gives them to the utmost.
>>150230678Anon, Nioi herself Lord Tedd isn't a bad guy. It's entirely possible he's a figurehead and General Shadetail is the power behind the throne. In fact, Nioi alludes to somebody manipulating Lord Tedd in Painted Black.
>>150227860Damien should reformed more powerful then before Perfect Cell style.
>>150231079It was actually a yandere goo girl meant as a gift. Had she not exploded, she would have eventually turned into a curvy girl who lusted for his dick.Remember, this was back when Tedd was allowed to be horny.
>>150232021It seems like, in the past, Uryuoms were probably the bad guys and did a bunch of bad shit. We know that the Uryuoms tried to break into the magic god library by force and lost, and as a result got themselves cut off from Earth's human magic system as punishment. In the Griffon Universe, the Uryuoms there are treated as extremely untrustworthy second class citizens who are actively hunted down if they use ANY technology at all because of past wars. So I think what happened is that they got too big for their britches and tried to take over the world, lost their magic, used magic technology to sort of work around the fact that they couldn't use magic directly anymore, and then armed with magic-tech tried to take over again and got the shit kicked out of them so hard that they became the punching bag of their universe ever since. The war-form hybrids and all that shit are leftover from their world domination weapons program era, thats why those exist as a thing at all. The Uryuom in OUR universe are probably refugees from the other one that came here to escape the sins of their people. Either they don't know how to make new magitek because its lost knowledge, or they physically can't do it anymore because of magic system changes so they need a human to do it for them.
>>150232101He doesn't even need to be physically stronger, though he can be. Remember, Damien lost the fight specifically because with all of his OP powers he had never once had to learn how to fight someone that could actually challenge him. Damien just having internalized his limits and accepted that he needs to learn how to fight for real would be massively more dangerous than he was before.
>>150232021>Why would the Uryuoms restrict the tech that makes them massively more powerful.Concerns about misuse? Maybe worrying that hardliners from the Griffonverse might use it to get up to some shit that will bring heat unto the rest of the species?
>>150232226>>150232602Yeah no the Uryuons have like 5+ kids per paring on average. And have been around since the Bronze age. With their shapeshifting preventing deaths, they would have a population easily in the trillions. Like humans should be less then 1% of the worlds total population.
>>150232262On that golden Frieza beat
>>150232729Nobody tell Anon about Catholics.
>>150220608Kevin unlike any of the other characters has a personality.
>>150220711>>150220730>>150220748This experiment is poorly thought out, if Tedd had used 2 bats, one for himself and one for Edward it would at least give a comparison with a control. Also confirmed or denied if others can use the method.
>>150221012It amazing how badly Elliot has been gaslight, into being a girl. When the first main arc is Elliot not being willing to stay a girl for even a month. Nowadays he probably spends more time as girl then a guy. Really should have taken Grace's advice.
>>150232021>>150232226>>150232602the uroyim warbot was inert until magic changed - the same change that let grace use human magic again. my guess is flip-earth's uroyim war spilled over into main-earth and magic got uppity about it. main-earth's uroyims probably figured they shouldnt pull that shit again, and the flip-uroyims probably got folded by griffins (which could happen independent of getting their magic fucked, but it does wrap everything up neatly if the two were related)
>>150232966It's a common trope of the tf genre, going back to fricking Ranma.
>>150232928you dont need a control nesessarily, some study types inherently cant have one.regardless, theres a lot to question about the hypothesis here>extra magic has let me see harder before>lets see if it works again under different circumstances and a different kind of targetvibes science. he isnt even measuring the ammount of extra juice.you know what, fuck you tedd>people have an ammount of magic energy they can spend, and a conversion efficiency (casting is fatigueing, so there's a calorie to mana conversion in there somewhere)>spell efficiency is further relative to skill, affinity, spell and the current laws of magic>so>training wand with basic ass spell and no ambient magic>use until exhausted, you now have a rating between 0 (no mana pool) and 1 (tedd's mana pool)>use that multiplied by your own spells vs other people using them on wands to determine how efficiently you can cast>use your own pool size and casting efficiency to determine the base cost of the spell in "anons" (milliTedds per second)arthur should give me a lab, i would make oppenhiemer look like a fucking joke
>>150233519>>so>>training wand with basic ass spell and no ambient magic>>use until exhausted, you now have a rating between 0 (no mana pool) and 1 (tedd's mana pool)Think Kevin would object to borrowing Sarah and Ashley as guinea pigs?
>>150233519Tedd is sort of being hard-carried by the fact that he is one of the few Seers on the planet, and of that small number the only one that is a huge nerd. It's not that Tedd is dumb, per say, more to do with the fact that he only is accomplishing anything of note because most other people literally cannot do what Tedd does purely by nature of his birth. In his defense, Tedd is only just now graduating highschool. He doesn't even have a college level education yet.that said, while Tedd is not a good scientist (as he is not following the scientific method at all) he could still be accurately described as a Hermetic Alchemist. Hermeticism being the school of thought that first posited that the universe ran on consistent rules we could learn and exploit through experimentation, whereas Science said "yes, BUT we also need to write shit down, share it, and make sure that the results hold up over time to screen out bullshit claims and bad experiments".
>>150219862Not saying I don't like Tedd's dad mini arc or the story of how Tedd helped the aliens, but this is Tedd meeting his new stepmom for the first time and the story is him being artistically obsessed about a certain quink of the alien's technology. >>150232928We established Tedd sucks as a scientist. >His inventions actually work because some secret power he didn't know he had.>Even when they work they don't work as intended>Doesn't take notes or measures>His one accomplishment was moding a gun that already existed.
>>150231848If he wants to change it he will.
>>150233447I suggest you actually read Ranma, he never likes being a girl. It that Ranma's pride is his defining fault, he has to be the best at everything, even things he himself hates.
>>150234048>he has to be the best at everything, even things he himself hates.Like eating parfait.
>>150221806Sigh really should have been Liz.
>>150221872Just noticed that Grace and Tedd are wearing the same pendant. Would have been much more fun if this was another body swap date. With maybe the pendants allowing for them to exchange bodies, based upon the Fairy dolls and Fox spells.
>>150221806Brachydactyly-long thumb syndrome
>>150222215Pah Jay does finger guns when she's unintentionally seductive towards people just like Grace.>>150222367And gods newu diet Tedd is such an asshole.
