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

[Loyal]

So, there's a new Goblins up, and over two hundred versions of the Minmax/Kin/Forgath party. And one of the poor bastards has his own Shield of Wonder and may have had some very different results at the initial raid on the goblin village; pretty sure that particular group will be important later.

... but it looks like also the +1 sword, and his own goblin too. Further, the "This is a helmet" line is now a necklace (indicating that it is, in fact, a necklace). Finally, he's the only one I noticed (outside the obviously evil ones) that didn't have clothing indicating that he was Minmax. I wonder if Forgath already died in that universe?

That's what I meant by "very different results." Hell, the goblin may actually be alt!Chief or something.

I was actually only agreeing and expounding on what you said! He looks like alt!Chief, what with the eye patch and green skin.

Captain SNES has updated twice in the last week.

New psionic Goblins villain, ChinMax, is creepy.

Erfworld continues to be excellent. Jack's slasher-smile is super creepy. What's odd is that I find this smile surprising; you'd think someone as unhinged as Jack would be an obvious choice for such a grin, and yet I find myself disturbed by it nonetheless.

Make that three.

It's a miracle.

Captain SNES just had the best bad idea ever.

Actually, yeah he's creepy. I loved that I was wondering "what the heck is up with the blood-splattered window one" when I first saw it.

I do wonder if the heroes are going to win this time. It seems like "yes", because we're watching them, but it could just be "this is how they save the multiverse" - they could even end up accidentally destroying their counter too (though I doubt it). I'm also curious: if ... that (chaotic?) evil psionic version of our favorite Goblins human goof ball who Loyal gave an alternate name to that I refuse to type*... succeeds, is it all the versions of them, or only the two-hundred eighteen that are currently in the race? Also, it looks like our crew might find themselves fighting evil variants soon. ALSO, also - the variants mostly look really cool.

Grin doesn't bother me so much. Jack is insane, but he's got a lucidity to his insanity. I don't think that grin comes from that. Rather, that's the grin I've seen on several people in Erfworld who've presumed themselves lost or done-for when, suddenly, they are about to initiate a great slaughter. Trammines comes to mind (when he was trapped in the sticky stuff - webbing I think? - outside of Jetstone). It really disturbed me on him, as he just hadn't seemed the type before that. Jack is similar. I'm wondering if that's some sort of weird hint about the messed up over-think-a-mancy that covers the world and requires perpetual war or somesuch.

Ever.
It's a festivus miracle!

*Despite my refusal to type it I accept it has his official name until otherwise proven, dang it. Lousy being loyal to Loyal.

The author of Gunnerkrigg Court sucks.

...

And is clever. Bother it all.

Also, in the fifth panel here she looks a lot - I mean a lot - like several scenes with her mother in them. She also looks either tired or with bad make up. And it's... surprising and nice to see how well she and Reynard are getting along after everything was said.

Meanwhile, in Goblins, Kin is proving herself to be the most awesome person ever.

And Captain SNES is still updating.

Finally, anyone got any thoughts on how successful Parson's going to be in Erfworld? 'Cause it's kind of coming down to the wire here, and Don seems to be dealing with a kind of minor insurrection amongst his own. Does anyone know how that works? I mean, I know he could just disband whoever goes against him, but something seems to be working against the natural thinkamancy that most people have. Any guesses?

[Aldurin]

Some sort of curve ball is going to hit them, though I do think Parson will at least make it to Jetstone.
