    Honestly, who is Mark Trail if not the terrified-of-sex 50s man? Though it would probably be good for a modern version to talk about conservation and climate change.

    The two comics that seem to have made the largest arc from wallowing in that stuff to pretty much the exact opposite are Something Positive and (astonishingly) Least I Could Do. Which is still very much White Guy Says Things™, but when you look where that thing started, man.

    e: QC is in a more positive place than either of them, mind you, it just didn't start from their depths.

    I still read Something Positive pretty regularly. Whenever I can make it to Gen Con, I even commission some art from him, since he doesn't have the largest selection of physical products to buy.

    Yup, Randy is super great to fans.

    I was gonna be like, was S*P that bad but then I flashed to the Mike/Trents thing from early on and...well the joke was Mike's homophobia but it sure had rape right behind it.

    I mean, literally the first comic is an abortion joke. Its whole thing was being edgy at the start.

    And that comic got quite the call-back, some 12 years later.

    Oh fuck the hell yes

    So (K6BD)
    The accepted plan of the Six was they'd band together so they have a chance against Jagganoth

    But Incubus has basically thrown his lot with Big Red, so the Six Five are supposedly fucked, even if they're united

    Allison's current whole party probably can't even make a dent against a single one of the Five, unless she gets her power-up in time

    So I believe it's now time for Meti to enter the fray f'realsies and take Incubus out of the equation and possibly adjust the scales some more

    This whole equation Solomon has in mind doesn't factor in the Angels meddling, does it? They're another wrinkle to consider.

    The angels already meddled. Those feather nails they gave Jagganoth are the reason he's the threat that he is. And I doubt Maya killing Incubus would make any significant difference. This is sure as shit not a fight that's gonna be won through strength of arms.

    Are those early appearances of the Demiurges not considered canon? Or are they interpretive or something? Cause while Solomon David got some tweaks, and Gog-Agog can be whatever, Jagganoth was an entirely different guy;

    Also unreliable narrators. That part is canon.

    Huh... I wonder if Jadis is there because she is the only one that respects the pact (possibly because she actually wants to die), or if she was just the first to arrive because she knows everything.

    I'd have expected at least dragon grandpa to show up!

    It's probably just them in the before-times. Jadis isn't in her block of safety, and Solomon hasn't gotten his beard game on lock yet.

    Looking back at old strips, I'd forgotten how much a look of constant bug-eyed panic was originally the defining trait of Allison's character design.

    The word from Abbadon is that it’s because Cio is an unreliable narrator and she’s twisting the details

    I am certain Willis is drawing Becky and Joyce with more hips. Or maybe its them having more clothes on....huh. They have more clothes on compared the start of the strip, but look curvier.

    Or maybe willis' art just inproved.

    Well, you see, when young ladies bloom into the fullness of adulthood, their hips get curvier.

    We are talking about 17-18 year olds, right? Maybe they haven't finished growing- I'm sorry, "blooming into the fullness of adulthood".

    So we're agreed Willis is actually trying to show his characters change over a long period of time?

    So we're agreed Willis is actually trying to show his characters change over a long period of time?

    the entire cast has gotten some redesigns, some more than others

    but also his art style has changed and improved in the last decade, since willis draws every day

    Those two panels have so many great details. Cio holding onto Alison, Vigilant Gaze going full overprotective grandpa on White Chain, Zaid panicking because he's lived a very sheltered existence since arriving in Throne.

    But my favorite is Alison looking at her hands and not Jagganoth after blocking his blast.

    Now looking at that panel closer Cio's broken glasses are hooked over her horns in one panel and then just totally fallen off in the next.
