Doesn't really sound like any previously known character typing to Caliborn. Better restate that the real true final boss is the creator of S*urb to ensure that such a character does not exist. Because I'm full of shit.

Isn't the 3rd-person omniscient narrator supposed to be Hussie except when it's Scratch?

**Revising Ocelot** · 11-20-2012, 09:13 PM

Not condescending and actually-knows-everything enough for the latter, and not smug and abusive enough for the former.

They're also both dead, but since when has that ever mattered?

Locke cole · 11-20-2012, 09:17 PM

Is he dead in the timeframe of Caliborn before he becomes English?

Death is weird without the chronology.

Chalk it up to Weird Time/Plot Shit and carry on?

Solid Snake · 11-20-2012, 10:07 PM

Yeah I wouldn't expect strict linear chronology to follow with a pseudo-omniscient narrator. Like the trolls, I'd presume Hussie can contact people ahead or behind his current state in the timeline.
(...Though it's strange to speak of Hussie as a 'character' distinct from the actual author himself.)

That, or Ms. Paint has taken over writing duties in light of Hussie's untimely demise.

Which is where the name of the comic comes from.

I think the Goons had the best theory on this whole thing: Caliborn uses the terminal to take over the narrative, truth comes out that he doesn't actually grow up to become LE, LE is his hilariously OP self-insert character he uses to trash everything his sister liked. "abusing space/time glitches" is reference to how you can't kill LE because he's a godmodding mary sue, you need to slap the shit out of the petulant child writing his actions.

That... is actually the most reasonable theory I've seen regarding the character.

Godmodding mary sue seems slightly more like Calliope's kind of thing.

...

Oh shit guys I just realized that LE was Calliope all along!
