When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do

I, for one, thought it was perfect. Sad, yeah, but Crystal really sealed her own fate when she explained to Starshine her plan for killin' folk.

There's something upsetting about that last panel showing her haircut. No more blinker stone antics?

Out of curiosity I went to the OotS forums for the update. To my utter lack of surprise it took all of three posts for someone to question whether Haley's actions were justified.

Heavy sigh. :/

*Facepalm*

Though I admit, I could see Crystal flipping Haley the bird at the end.

Yeah, Katt's pretty much highlighting all my problems with the storyline so far. I wonder if this is to prove their they're unfounded or follow through?

EDIT: Well, that's an embarrassing spelling mistake.

Well, that's not the sharpest arrow in the quiver.

Reynardine is being hard to control, eh? Hmmmmm...

This is an interesting comment. For me, I enjoy GC and the one or two other things I read because I don't need anyone else to enjoy it.

On the other hand, when I was open to and followed a lot more web comics in the early 2000s, I came at them more as a center point for a community, where collectively-held jokes and punchlines felt as at home in a panel of the comic as they did in a forum post.

This may be more a reflection of my own particular approach to webcomics (i.e. not joining the forum community, reading twitter, following authors on social media or blogs) compared to how I used to engage with them (joining their community, explicitly seeking out other readers to talk about the comic and, in extension, shared hobbies).

On the surface, I'd claim it's because it's a better comic, but that may be too subjective a claim to make.

I thought wisdom and intel were kind of requirements for a priest build?

Anyways, I'm sure this whole thing is for naught. They wouldn't set up this plot point just to go "nope vampire failed, moving on." Plus since he is now "dead" and it was said that he'd return home post humorously I suspect the group will be hitting the Dwarven homelands before we get any real resolution here.
