Double Date - 01 - HD
About time!- At egscomicsCommentary- Meeting Rhoda's girlfriendIt's finally happening! And by that, I obviously mean experimenting a bit with Lucy's hair, because I have so much difficulty with showing her face in the past.But also, yes, the double date with Rhoda and Catalina.Anyway, EL...

Nanase and Her Fox Conclusion!- At egscomicsCommentaryThe inevitable consequence of good people working around a magic system that, whether intentionally or not, encourages selfish spells.Which I wish I could say was the plan way back when I first came up with the magic system, but my main goal then...

Desired Spells- At egscomicsCommentaryOf course Ashley has cat ears again. Nanase just got done telling her to indulge."Want" as a word is a bit confusing at times, and the simplest example is anything anyone does for their own good that they don't enjoy doing. They "want" to do ...

Self awareness.- At egscomicsCommentaryThe Freshman fifteen refers to students in their first year of college gaining 15 lbs (6.8 kg) for various reasons. It was joked about enough for even me to be aware of it when I was in college.I have NO idea if it's remained commonly joked about thing, or ...

Maybe whoops?- At egscomicsCommentaryIt's probably fine?That thing about vision going out of focus is based on my own frustrations with textbooks.I don't want to be too harsh on textbook writers. Textbooks, and modern teaching institutions, are relatively new in the grand scheme of things. E...
2024 February End of Month Poll
Jay… And GRACE!Poll ends with the month of February, can vote for more than one (might not work in the app, but should in a browser).

Learning!- At egscomicsCommentaryRight! Time to convey everything there is to know about motivation, learning, and gamification!"You have the top two-thirds of one panel to set up catgirl Ashley batting at a fluffy ball."Time to very briefly touch on the fact that play can be useful to learn...
Nanase and Her Fox - 64 - HD
Selective focus.- at egscomicsCommentarySeriously, don't bring a pony to a candy-pizza-video game store.That's just irresponsible."BEHOLD! The super fun corner that contains everything you've ever dreamed of! Don't think about it, though. You need to sit in the opposite corner an...
Nanase and Her Fox - 63 - HD
Failing to be a paladin.- At egscomicsCommentaryNext time: Sense talking!This time: Holding one's self to way too high a standard!While I'm probably going to experiment with Nanase's hairstyle in the future, I'm happy with how she looks in the second panel. I'm also happy with he...

Theory! Er, Hypothesis!- At egscomicsCommentary- "People are perceived through magic," The Will of MagicI didn't set out to write a "Tedd is rambling" comic. The "magic seems geared towards selfish spells" was simply a point I couldn't fit in the previous comic, and p...
Nanase and Her Fox - 61 - HD
What one truly wants...- At egscomicsCommentaryI didn't intend to make a magic system that judges you, but I might have made a magic system that judges you.If a video game were made that was inspired by this magic system, I would imagine it being one of two things.Option A - A game in which, mos...

Proper Supervision.- At egscomicsCommentaryOne might assume there's not much instruction needed on how to use the spells for exercise, and that might be true. It's an amount greater than zero, however, and plenty of people who try to use simple exercise machines without instructions in real ...
Nanase and Her Fox - 59 - HD
Possibilities!- At egscomicsCommentaryI actually considered this as a joke in the previous comic, but thought "NO! By golly, Tedd is considering actual, serious uses for helping out his friends, and that is not where their head would go in that moment!"But then I realized it could still go t...

Terrible Magic for Sale!- At egscomicsCommentaryTedd is so hyped to learn some intentionally lackluster magic.If I had infinite time, power, and a skateboard, I would redraw Elliot so the hand holding the drumstick wasn't overlapping with his torso. It makes his torso look weird to me.That said,...
Nanase and Her Fox - 57 - HD
Magic goals.- At egscomicsCommentaryI feel like panel one has mostly been established already (as in "it's like exercise"), and panel three is something people could safely assume, but I also feel this comic would have been incomplete without those details.That, and I feel Kevin would ha...
Nanase and Her Fox - 56 - HD
Right in the ego.- At egscomicsCommentaryOW MY PRIDEI didn't go into this storyline thinking it needed to have any significant character development. I was just thinking "I want to address Nanase's clone form and trading. That could be fun."Nonetheless, I was thrilled when this devel...
Nanase and Her Fox - 55 - HD
"Girl, do you even lift?"- At egscomicsCommentaryThat moment when the storyboard artist goes rogue and adds physical comedy nonsense.I was tempted to just casually establish that Kevin can shrink people by bonking them on the head, but that felt like overcomplicating things.Not that I'm ...
Nanase and Her Fox - 54 - HD
Goals!- At egscomicsCommentaryFirstly, thank you very much for your patience, and words of support, while I wasn't feeling well.It means a lot to me that I can take time off when needed while receiving encouragement, and without facing torches and pitchforks.KEVIN!"It is strange that Kevin, ...
2024 January End of Month Poll
Felix and Kitty! (image included for reference because 2017)Kitty is in the hoodie, Felix is the maid. (Incidentally, Kitty's "tail" visible in panel three is part of the hoodie, and that hood totally has cat ears.)Can vote for more than one (though might not work in the app). Poll ends ...
End of month poll soon
Any particular characters / forms people are interested in?Specifically those two things. I’ll come up with a scenrio / options.
Sick Day(s)
I'm taking sick leave until further notice, and won't be posting new comics.Naturally, I don't know for how long, but ALSO naturally, I hope to get well soon.Unless I'm feeling better tomorrow morning, soonest new comic is likely Tuesday.
Nanase and Her Fox - 53 - HD
Suddenly RPG?!- At egscomicsCommentaryAnd yes.The text going off-panel in panel two is intentional.As mentioned in the main comic section around this time, I resolved an issue I've been having with my drawing tablet that effectively made it so randomly interfered with my inking to the point that...

PHILOSOPHY!- At egscomicsCommentaryThis comic was a late thought I had, and I think it's an interesting question, so now this comic exists.By the logic of how trades are supposed to work in the comic's canon, I think the answer would be "Age" (Nanase gets younger) were it possible. I...
Nanase Fox Cafe Nonsense
Nanase doesn't get twice the salary by summoning Fox, but the tips are quite generous!Which may or may not have something to do with why Nanase chose to make this specific trade when summoning Fox? It's a mystery.---------I hadn't planned for Nanase and Fox to be working at a café. I ha...
Nanase and Her Fox - 51 - HD
Bartering!- At egscomicsCommentaryBecause OF COURSE Ashley's mind also goes there.Now, one might assume Fox is only smiling because she's being imagined, and that REAL Fox would be mimicking Nanase's mood. HOWEVER! It's been established that Fox smiles if she's doing a task she w...
Nanase and Her Fox - 050 - HD
Can't let anyone be off-panel, can you.- At egscomicsCommentaryThis is important to the plot because I wanted Ashley to do this.And now she has.HOORAY!I considered whether Ashley would JUST be taller, and decided "mostly yes." Her hair is longer because reasons (those reasons being that ...
Considering EGSNP Q&A
This would mean Amanda and Lisa answering your questions.Part of why I'm considering this is that it seemed like I was getting a lot of technical questions about magic and such.There's things I might want to address in-comic, and establish, without dragging down canon stories with exposition...
Nanase and Her Fox - 49 - HD
Results may vary.- At egscomicsCommentaryI like how muscular Tedd turned out in this comic, but I'm less keen on extra bulky Elliot. Elliot with a LITTLE extra muscle can look pretty natural and good, but in this comic, I wanted enough extra muscle for him to look big even without a normal-sized...
Nanase and Her Fox - 48 - HD
They're doing WHAT- At egscomicsCommentaryI mostly wanted Kevin to say "gadzooks," but the more I considered my magic system... Yeah.People being able to mimic others wouldn't necessarily be some rare thing.Some people would be able to do it better than others, and it's not reall...
Nanase and Her Fox - 47 - HD
Chocolate and peanut butter- At egscomicsCommentaryShe likes the form.Worth noting is that Nanase is shorter than Tedd right now, so in that last panel, she's either floating, or standing on her toes. Take your pick.Elaborate details!I received questions about the narration at the end of the pre...
