Comic for Tuesday, May 15, 2012:
Recent News
Friday, Feb 17, 2012 I will be posting Friday's comic sometime during the day Friday. I was hoping to finish it before succumbing to slumber, but that's not going to zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thursday, Jan 26, 2012 The next story comic will be Monday, and there will be a Sketchbook entry Friday. My apologies for the delay. It's the sort of thing where I was happy with the script until I really started to lay out the comic and then... no. It needs revision, and I need the time to get it right.
El Goonish Shive is hosted by 910CMX
Commentary
- Susan's reaction to George knowing
- Elliot's reaction to George knowing
- Elliot's reaction to thinking he'd put Ellen at risk
- Susan's half-truth
A word of advice: Do not threaten or otherwise endanger Ellen. Elliot will break you. Unless you're Rocky, that is. Rocky is immune to breaking and has access to robots.
The dialogue in panel six of this comic is deliberately not a whisper, but that fact has drawn my attention to the fact that the "silent pause" dialogue balloon in panel five was left in whisper form. I'm not sure what is implied by that. Was she silent beyond normal silence, supernaturally still or something?
I suspected I've done this sort of thing before and asked the same questions then. I'd remove all ambiguity by making it a non-whisper, but then I'd have less to ramble on about in this commentary, and that would be a tragedy.
