Sluggy Freelance

I read semi-regularly, usually a few days at a time. I do feel like things are definitely headed towards wrapping up here.

I read it every night as part of my daily comics rotation.

I just have it in my MTWTF folder, every day. it's consistent, but I sometimes think reading weekly might work better.

I feel like the highlight of today's comic is that "Gwynn"'s punchline is indistinguishable from actual Gwynn dialogue.

I read Sluggy daily, but it is definitely something that, most of the time, is more enjoyable in Archive Binge form. Of course, it's got one of the biggest archives to binge in all of webcomics; I've been planning to do a re-read for a while now.

I did like the series better when it had more discreet story arcs instead of tying everything into one long story, but still enoying it a whole lot.

And , yeah, Gwynn and Siphaniana should totally exchange phone numbers if they ever manage to exist in the same millenium.

Also:

Torg and Zoë, sitting in a box

G-E-T-ing off their rocks

First comes love, then comes a wedding

Then comes Oasis, to do a beheading!

How many reoccurring adult female characters (not restricted to human, mind you), are not part of the Torg harem?

Crystal, depending on how you define recurring. Sasha. Mosp. Chestra. The Angsty Dentist.

Somewhere, at some point in the time stream, Zoë is laughing her ass off.

Okay everybody back to the thread quick, Pete is finally going to explain the biggest mystery of the comic: the name!

Well, probably. We know how he likes to toy with us.

Wow, this is big. And of course there's a chapter break mid-revelation. Dang.

I'd be surprised if I wasn't totally used to this from Sluggy now.

I'm going to need some help filling in the tropes on the character page. Particularly on Nash Straw/Nashvile/Strom. I got his character summary up but there's probably a dozen or more tropes that fall under his character entry. Also, seriously, you guys have an entry on Blinky and Clyde but not one on Strom?

Also, I'm not sure what trope N'aaaw's pretty face trick falls under. It's more of a Deceptively Sexy, but it turns out we don't have a trope by that name, so I put both Deliberately Cute Child and Distracted by the Sexy under her character entry. Anyone who has better knowledge of the tropes can sort it out.

Right, me go nappy now. See you in the morning.

So, given that the plot is thickening at a pace that would put Jello to shame, I'm a bit surprised this thread hasn't gotten a bump in a while. How's about that K.Z.K. - manipulating the universe like his name was Palpatine, giving is past self a lifelong hatred of puns, being all bug-like and stuff... I think it's safe to say our Big Bad is back and the beginning of the end is about to end.

Or is that the end of the beginning is about to... end...

Hm...

Snap back is coming soon. Hopefully before K'Z'K has a chance to sabotage anything else, and best case scenario after the gods realize he was engineering all this. But what I think is going to happen is that Siphy snaps back and gets killed for laughing over Kron's corpse, and poor Gwynn finds herself in the middle of an army of demons, still possessed and with no idea what to do.

I'd really like her to figure out a way to summon Dunola, if only so that she and Riff can bounce off each other.

Oh man, I used to read this alot, but I stopped a few years back. I'm kind of intimidated to get back into it. Which is weird, since I read Homestuck.

And we have a title drop guys!

Is this a new record for longest Title Drop ever?

—R.J.

I loved the back story with the gods. Out of all the side characters Krohnus's family interests me the most. How much do you think he's kicking himself for having his last words toward his son be 'You are not to speak to me!'

Man I still gotta catch up. My archive reread's sometime before Oceans Unmoving.

Ahem . . .

DUN DUN DUN!!

It's kinda funny, but this arc has made that whole thing a lot less crazy than it might've been if it had happened mid-way. At this point a lot of the mystery has already been hand to us - the most big-picture important parts, too.

I guess this could be the start of a Bun-bun centric arc, though.

Huh

I know not everyone who goes on the TVT forums does wiki editing, but I could use some help.

The Sluggy Freelance page is loaded with problems, including but not limited to Natter, Weblinks Are Not Examples, Example Indentation, and other assorted formatting issues.

I started a partial cleaning of it when adding the Going Commando entry, and got up to the Karmic Death entry, but it needs a lot more work than I have time to do at the moment, so any help in cleaning it up would be appreciated.

I got the absolute worst of the characters page cleaned up a few months ago, but burned out before I got to the main.

Given Torg's behavior in the last few strips, am I just being silly in wondering if he's being externally influenced?

I mean, even at the best of times he's not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box, but absent some external influence it feels like he's picked up the Idiot Ball again, or even several of them that he's juggling.
