%%One quote on the main page, plz.

''[[http://egscomics.com/ El Goonish Shive]]'' is an {{Action|Series}} {{Adventure|Series}} {{Dramedy}} {{Webcomic}}, written, drawn, inked and colored by Dan Shive. He has stated that all of the comic can be summed up in one of the main characters' quotes: "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-01-28 Because it sounds like one big awkward moment]]." Oh, and pay no attention to the art quality of the early strips. [[ArtEvolution It gets better]], [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-01-26 drastically]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-02-26 better]].

It's about a cast of characters and their relationships while in the middle of [[FunctionalMagic spellcasting]], {{Shapeshifting}} ({{voluntary|Shapeshifting}} and [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting otherwise]]), [[GenderBender gender-bending]], and [[PlanetEris blatantly disregarding the laws of physics]]. Or, alternately, it's about a cast of characters who occasionally take time off from obsessing over their relationships to cast spells, change shape, and break the laws of physics. The gender-bending is pretty constant, though.

The series has a heavy focus on interpersonal relationships; it's easy to get so wrapped up in the characters' lives that you forget that an inter-dimensional EvilOverlord has [[OrcusOnHisThrone possibly been attempting to attack them]] since his [[FinalBossPreview last appearance]] (seen in a picture) when he sent monsters to kill his dimensional counterparts in one of the first story arcs.

It has its own wiki, [[http://elgoonishshive.wikia.com/wiki/Shiveapedia Shiveapedia]], which contains the definitive timeline of the comic (which is considered {{canon}} by WordOfGod) plus practically exhaustive arc summaries and character bios.

[[hottip:Note:Incidentally, according to the site that provides the advertisements (https://www.projectwonderful.com/advertisehere.php?id=20945&type=3), over a quarter of the visitors come from TVTropes most days.]]
