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

[Aldurin]

It seems more like a "he who lives by the tropes dies by them" kind of situation. Though the death won't be the climatic one he wants as his subjects point out that his obsession with orchestrating story structure is driving his resources into the ground.

Yes. I like Erfworld.

I would say both Aerozord and Aldurin are correct. Though I doubt Tarquin is going to be taken down by his subjects - he doesn't care about the economy so long as he has what he wants - I suspect he will eventually go down more or less like a punk in a non-epic manner. Possibly betrayal by his allies. Possibly he just lives so long and successfully as a despot, that it just loses all of its fun and charm, perhaps even in the midst of dementia. Possibly dying by disease or something. Maybe even eventually getting conquered by one of the "dupes" his people set up. But one way or the other, Tarquin sounds like a crazy person to those around him. It's only to the audience that he seems sane and clever.

You know this won't end well.

You're right. It'll end awesomely!

[Aerozord]

I legitimately forgot he was a ranger. I am completely serious

[Loyal]

Guilded Age really is just the best damn webcomic lately.

[MuMu]

Today's Gunnerkrigg is so goddamn

[Menarker]

Agreed!

Also today's OotS is an awesome wrap-up to the recent events!

I forget if I've plugged Unsounded here or not before. If not, then I'm doing it now and if you haven't read it you really should. The art is phenomenal and the story is great.

Pretty sure you have, because I don't know it, but it's in my Comic bookmarks. Still, it was a good reminder, as I'd forgotten about it.

Also, OotS is pretty awesome.
