Yay! Its back again! I stagger my reading of it to Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday cause there aren't enough good webcomics on those days, so I am not the best person to lead a real time discussion, but it really needs a thread. So in Monday's we see the mysterious return of the dark figure. (linky)

Who is starting to sound really, really desperate.

Also, is it just the art upgrade, or does Ellen's green ray seem more... jeeze, what is a same word to use? Powerful? More powerful then usual?

I wrote the following on AbortedArc.Webcomics:

** Edward wants Nanase to keep Noriko's monster hunter career secret from Noriko and Edward's son Tedd and initially refused to explain why but only insisted that it was important. Nanase wanted to ask Edward why they had to keep it secret, but she apparently forgot her plans to ask him and nothing more of Edward's reasons has been revealed for over ten years, though Tedd has learned in other ways that his mother is a monster hunter.

I listed it because Nanase doesn't consider Edward's explanation good enough and because, as CritterKeeper on the 910cmx forum pointed out, the fact that Edward initially refused to explain why implies that there is more to the the secret than what Edward admitted.

MurlocAggroB removed it, saying that Edward's reason was explained, which is a fair point as speculation that he is hiding something isn't enough to count as Aborted Arc. Also, it's actually credible that Edward simply defaults to assuming that secrecy is good for Tedd.

The note mentions Tedd's pronouns and Sam's assumption thereof.

AFAIR, Tedd's pronouns are "Gender he's currently presenting if any, otherwise default to male."

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

Why do that when Susan exists...?

Yeah, the wizard with the smoke form spell who uses it to look for more transformation spells to copy would have that perspective.

You know, it didn't even register to me back on this page that Jay hadn't been confirmed as queer before.

What value of 'confirmed' were you looking for?

You called a cow girl stampede?

I'm not sure if that would be a good superpower to have or a bad superpower to have.
