This is Tom Sidell
He is working, and has been working, on a little webcomic known as Gunnerkrigg Court. It is a detailed tapestry of sweet writing and sweeter arts.
This is Antimony Carver
She is a student at a school called Gunnerkrigg Court. She has been there a few years now, storywise, but the comic kicks off with her first year. The comic centers on her learning about the school's past, the mysterious forest that is near the school, and the strange going-ons with both. Antimony also has plenty of problems that the comic will dig through so much like a pig and truffles. Character development is pretty awesome in GC, and it's interesting to watch Carver change over the numerous chapters.
This is Katerina Donlan
She is Carver's friend and companion throughout the story. She's a bit of a nerd whose parents are both teachers at the Court. While not the main character, a bit of her own personal issues are looked at, and her relationship with Carver goes through many ups and downs as the story progresses.
This is Reynardine
Honestly, the less said about him, the better. Briefly speaking, he is another companion of Carver.
This is Shadow 2
He's a shadow, doin' shadow things. Another one of those characters where less explanation is for the best.
This is Robot
He is a robot, obviously. He is introduced early in the comic, and starts shenanigans.
This is Mr. Eglamore
He one of the many people that work at the Court, and among those that has a tendency to pop up frequently in the story. This is Mr. Eglamore. He is not technically at odds with Carver, but sometimes her breaking of school rules can make it seem that way. This is Mr. Eglamore. He has a sword and wears cool outfits. This is Mr. Eglamore.
This is Jones
She is not a robot.
This is Tea
Not really a character if we're going to be technical, but she does show up in bonus comics to explain background information or expand upon a bit of mythology.
This is boxbot
Boxbot is terrible.
This is robox.
Everybody loves robox.
Gunnerkrigg Court updates Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. Recently, Mr. Siddell has decided to quit his mundane, human job and ascend to the pantheon of the self-employed. While the comic isn't updating any more or less, it does mean that Mr. Siddell gets to spend more time making better art for the comic. Seriously, some of the strips since quitting his old job have been downright gorgeous. The comic is TOTALLY free, so maybe you could show your gratitude by grabbing something from his shop? What's that? You find gaudy material goods to be beneath your refined self? That is okay, as you can flex your philanthropy muscle and donate directly to Siddell. You even get fine art for doing so in the form of precious wallpapers.
So, Gunnerkrigg Court. I highly recommend that new readers start from the beginning. In case you can't tell: it's a serial comic, and you really need to get in on the ground floor. Trust me, it's awesome (like robox).

I fucking hate the internet.

Well, let's be real here
Trickster Gods are quite infamous for getting tricked themselves with some regularity in almost every mythology. Pretty sure its happened to Coyote. I think Anasi might be the exception.
and if the latter is there a new policy of non-mega webcomic threads for specific webcrumbles?
also you left out one of the best characters
I got no idea about the second part
Yeah that was where most of my criticism came from. She almost Mary Sue-Self Insert-esque for a while.

This is where we love GC and all the roboxy goodness.
GC is honestly inspiring in the way you can watch his art develop to such good levels. The fact its witty and endearing helps as well.
Her face at the end makes me giggle still.
really want to give siddell mad money but I am so broke right now
The raspberry from which all others are formed
yeah she seems way too chummy with the forest. I feel like something's gotta happen to balance her out. Or at least, I hope it happens.
I'm thinking less about the forest, and more about what's going to happen when her less-than-stellar diligence to her school responsibilities will end up exploding in her face.
so get excited
it's not just the school, it's that she's clearly favoring one side over the other. As a medium, that'll either blow out in her face and rebalance her (which is what I hope will happen) or it'll make her ineligible for the position and screw her over even more
Having just seen the first few pages, I gotta say, earlier GC looks a lot better than early PA.
You can't really blame her, given what she and Kat have learned about the court.
Laser cows.

READ MY COMIC ^^
Yeah the court isn't interested in balance. I wonder when we'll meet the higher ups
I'm pretty sure the forest isn't either
