Gunnerkrigg Court: Confusion, confusion everywhere!
« on: April 11, 2010, 01:59:10 am »

Who reads this masterful intarweb comic? I know I saw some people who use avatars that are cropped from the comic itself... I just can't remember who they were.

I saw a guy with a laser cow avatar.

I also read this amazing bit of web fiction.

I want a laser cow.

Also, I mourn for the Guard Robot. I love how Tom Siddell gives his robots such... human qualities, like giving them ties and hats and such.

One of the peons scum new people on the forum has (or had) an avatar of the robot king. Akgigak (sp?) has had various Renardine avatars in the past. Someone else (maybe it was zchris?) had an avatar of the transformed (wolf form) Renardine.

That being said, that comic is beautifully drawn and in my opinion, one of the best webcomics out there.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I had the Robot king avatar.

Who's your favorite characters so far? I have to say either Annie, or Coyote. Every time he goes on, he has a Mini CMOA.

I read "this masterful intarweb comic", to answer the original question. (Quotes indicate quotation, not sarcasm)
One of my favorites, it is (and that's out of quite a fair few).
Although, now I think on it, I like it more for the atmosphere and mood than for the characters. There aren't any characters that make me think "this character is so awesome", which as far as I'm concerned is only a good thing. It's better (in my opinion) to create a interesting and novel setting and an engaging storyline than to rely on "epic" or "badass" characters or whatever, like a lot of comics seem to. It's easier in this case since Gunnerkrigg Court's not so much of a heavily fighting-oriented comic.
So, props to Gunnerkrigg Court for that.
But my favorite character is probably Antimony. I appreciate her quiet calmness and equanimity.

I love this comic. I have found that I need to go back and read through the archives every now and then, at least for the most recent section, to get the full impact from the story.

Coyote is by far my favorite character, and I don't see that changing. I think he really is the perfect manifestation of the "chaotic neutral" alignment.

Also, I never really got what was up with that one part with Zimmy and the rain. Someone explain that to me?

This webcomic is brilliant. Never heard of it before today, but read it all in the same day. Reynard/Annie are probably my favorite characters.

I can't even type or pronounce his name, so I just call him Tree-Wolf. Tree-Wolf is awesome.

My favorite probably has to be the fairy girls "Your hair, it goes up! I sooo want to be your friend now!", or failing that the robot that got sent over the bridge and came back and got destroyed then rebuilt and stuff.

Yeah, I finally took a look at it a week or two ago. Read the whole thing over the course of a night. The artwork has definitely improved from the first several chapters. Storyline is nicely odd. And yeah, I love his interpretation of Coyote. Especially since I tried my hand at writing a Coyote-related comic a long time ago and it never went anywhere. His Coyote is what I wanted but failed to achieve.

The thing about the rain... apparently, Zimmy's weird eye gunk shit can only be washed away by natural rain. that's why she
