The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I don't think it'll end that disastrous. Clearly, Brian is giving quite a fight but Seventeen is presumably "just" going to call him down again. I'd just like to know how exactly he ended up escaping from the web.
It's a small part of the comic, but I'm continually impressed by the clever titles given to these strips.
Merry Christmas and general good wishes to Adam, Katie, Briguy (I know his name ain't on the credits, but his comments, insights and good humour are a component of why I enjoy these comics...sorry to single you out, guy!), and everyone else who comments on these comics. Sometimes I'll see 40+ comments on here and think "Oh no, someone started a fight," but it's almost always people being cool to each other and enjoying some damn fine comics. Cheers to you!
Hey everybody. I just wanted to let you know that we lost Sestina today. She was 19. I didn't think she would have the last two years because it involved a move from Atlanta to Boston. When the Camp Kickstarter hit, I pledged at the level to put Sestina in the comic and told Katie that Sestina was very old. Thank you Katie and Adam for getting her into the comic before we lost her. It was a wedding present for my wife and she loved it.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuge condolences to you and your family, Fadinginterest. I'm happy that you got so many years with Sestina, but I know how much it stings. You be well.
Just a small critique and I'm not certain how to fix it myself, but the final panel read to me like Seventeen was running away (which may actually be what's happening?) or she ran forward to punch a guy. I genuinely thought you meant to depict her punching the guy until I saw the motion lines on him. Maybe if you flip that guy in the air and position him a little more to the right of Seventeen, it'd read clearer? Because in the panel where it shows everyone, the guy is to the right of Seventeen, but in the final panel, he's coming in from her left.
As a matter of fact, where is Brian and the other campers in relation to Malachi and Seventeen in that last panel? Are they really all to the left? Because that left framing bush threw me off if that's the case. I was under the impression the big scene was happening behind them if Seventeen was running off.
I read the last panel differently. Malachi takes a minute to think about what to do and Seventeen reacts without really thinking and just rushes to help Brian. I think that Brian saw Seventeen heading his way, and he sends them flying, which is why the guy is off of the ground. But only Adam and Katie know for sure! And, I'm so very sorry for your loss, Fadinginterest, I hope the memories of your sweet kitty bring you comfort in the coming days, months and years.
Same, I couldn't understand the last panel. For some reason my subconscious wants to assume that Brian and the fight is happening to the right of the panel instead of to the left. I remember taking a class on comics once and the artist telling us that you should always orient motion in a panel from left to right so that you're going in the direction of reading, maybe this is what he meant.
Damn it, can't find out how to quote people here, so...
@briguy - No, that can't happen, please not... If it does, the rope kids are done for. I just hope that her presence will calm him, and they'll decide it's easier to just let him go (cue Portal 2 credits).
@Android 21 3/7 - I thought the same. I love this comic for putting in so much detail in everything, and I'm *really* not one of those who criticize everything, but this didn't feel right. My suggestion would be to horizontally mirror panel 5, so that Malachi is facing the same direction as Seventeen.
@fadinginterest - I thought today's (ok, friday's) comic was gonna hit me in the feels, but your comment did so instead. I am really sorry for your loss... The only words I can say are those that may be a bit cliche, but - at least in this case - true: Your cat had a long life, obviously filled with much love and attention. Every creature dies, but it's the life that matters, and your cat had a happy one. And you were the ones to bring that happiness. It is hard, but you should not sorrow over her death, but celebrate all the joy, happiness and love you brought to her. As I said, this sounds like an old cliche, but I really do mean it.
Merry Christmas, all, where applicable, and merry midwinter day if not!
(Yes, I know that "officially" we "start" winter at the solstice, but I think the older designation of it as roughly the middle makes a bit more sense from a qualitative standpoint...)
I also interpreted the final panel as Seventeen running away from the fight -- my first thought was that she was going to bring Purdy to de-escalate the situation. But perhaps she is running toward the fight. I guess I'll find out tomorrow!

I'm worried he's going to accidentally hit Seventeen. My heart can't take that.
Punch the blonde one first, Seventeen!

You can see her here (in the lash-out comic from September 2015): http://campcomic.com/comic/lash-out
Everyone here is wonderful and Camp Weedonwantcha brings me immeasurable joy. Thank you.

Panel 4: you see the guy running in
Panel 6: you see the guy sent flying
Nice, clear narrative flow. Lots happening in the struggle scene, a little attention really expands your reading value. Not just for that bit either.

Or regular morning that I hope is still merry!

Ugh. Now I'll have to petition for the release of the non-special edition in HD.
Thank you! (Also Neiman's bracelet in Hairline isn't colored.)
That's intentional. Neiman always pairs his flesh bracelet with his hair rope. The guy knows how to accessorize.
Whose... whose flesh is it?
