    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    I have never understood what people see in this "Treatise" bullshit.

    ^okay


     


    If you actually want to say something about why you don't like them, that would be one thing, but as-is, that's about the only response possible.

    Okay, then. In my opinion, it's like they add nothing to the story and just look like some pretentious pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Because... they are cool.



    See? Cool.


    And it's not like they're just there for the sake of coolness, it also serves the purpose of, well... dunno exactly what, but I know that each aspect of this image deals with the divide between Court and Forest and so on.


    But mostly, cool. Which is purpose enough.

    Yeah. It's really obnoxious how they waste huge stretches of time, rather than just taking up the one-page slot the creator uses in between chapters to fool around.


    More seriously, I'd say their purpose is to provide a cool-looking, single-image summary of where the story is at that point.

  • lrdgcklrdgck
    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    Yeah, only this single-image summary is hard to call a summary if you need to waddle through all this whatever-it-is pseudo-mystical/intellectual/alchemical imagery to understand anything. 


    More seriously (I'll take the phrase now), I guess it's for those who like to search for hidden meanings in the story. In this case, what kind of meaning does one or another part of the picture have.

    It's not that complicated. Look, Kat is on the left, with the Court. Annie is on the right, with the forest. The ground outside the Court has circuitry running over it, while the ground outside the forest has roots.


    I wonder what that could possibly mean.

    I am not sure the picture looks like it was supposed to be that easy to interpret, but whatever. No point to speak of it further.

    The symbolism of it is extremely blatant.

  • lrdgcklrdgck

    Okay, okay, I guess it's the way it's served that irks me.

    Here, There, Everywhere

    I like alchemical and hermetic symbolism, personally. It's an interesting way to view the world through metaphor and association, and given the story that Gunnerkrigg Court is telling, it's quite appropriate.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    I see them as comic book covers.


    And really, what's a comic book without a cover.


    (SHIT. SHIT OF THE MOST HORRENDOUS KIND. SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF A BUTT)

    I'm a damn twisted person

    Oh man the art of making good comic covers is a thing of beauty when it clicks. 

  • KrakenKraken

    AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT IN A ROUND TABLE


    CAN WE DO THAT

  • EelektrossEelektross
    Definitely not gay.

    I remember when GC's art sucked.

  • BlueeyedratBlueeyedrat
    "I've come to the conclusion that this is a VERY STUPID IDEA."

    Yeah, there are quite a few really well-drawn comics I wouldn't have gotten into when they first started out, because the initial artwork wasn't that good. (see Gunnerkrigg Court and Archipelago.)

  • lrdgcklrdgck
    "you duck spawn, refined creature, you try to be cynical, yokel, but all that comes out of it is that you're a dunce!!!!! you duck plug!"

    For some reason I see early GC art as, although worse, more... oneirous, I guess is how I'd call it. I'm not sure if it is the art itself, or rather some kind of lingering initial impression. After I archive binged the comic, I needed some time to snap out of that weird melancholic phase.

    But you never had any to begin with.

    Binged Cucumber Quest today.


    For those who don't know about it, it's a (affectionate) RPG parody by Gigi D.G of Hiimdaisy fame. The art is wonderful and adorable, and the story's no slouch either.

    So



    Goblins



    Minmax looks fairly screwed

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    So there is an official, licensed Galaga webcomic, written by the Dinosaur Comics guy and drawn by the Dr. McNinja guy.


    No, really.


    It's awesome.


    Go read it.

    Galaga?

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!


    Galaga.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    magnificent

  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    To be more clear, it's an arcade game from the 80s. The webcomic...takes some liberties with the source material.

    I figured as much.

    None of the links on that site respond to me clicking on them, so it may actually be the most poorly-designed webcomic site I've ever encountered.  That or there's some bug with an addon I have or something.

  • KrakenKraken

    Works for me. I'm actually a semi-regular on that thing; started reading Bravoman for some reason.

  • IcalasariIcalasari

    I already knew of the Galaga webcomic :3
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    So, OOTS.


    Damn, Belkar is getting some solid character development lately. Wasn't actually ever expecting that to happen.

    I love Belkar so much
