Pretty sneaky, Susan.CommentaryI think Shrink spells should absolutely be a thing for stealth and accessing areas in games with magic, though I know that's easier said than done depending on the game.I've made my own magic for Skyrim before, and there's engine-nonsense that gets in the w...

Enter NPC name...CommentaryAs some of you may know already, I actually considered the name Jack for Jay, but decided against it. This was at least in part due to there already being a female character in the Mass Effect franchise named Jack, and that felt like a toe I didn't want to step on.One ...

You know he's evil. He said so!CommentaryPreviously, in the previous EGSNP commentary:"Wait! This will be great for the next comic! Huzzah!"And now, our story continues.Or did. I guess these are read after the comic, if they're read at all.

It's possible Susan only grew back temporarily to make the last couple comics easier to stage.CommentaryPast me: "Okay, later, Susan will shrink down, and jump onto Jay's shoulder."More recent me: "Oh. Um... I probably should had Jay's shoulders down more. Right. Only place l...

Maybe sleeping like that is actually comfortable?Commentary- Story comic: "Jay"- Story comic: "Pony-hair girl?!"Because she's a PONY, Susan. Same reason she's got the tail, which I notice you do not question for an instant, which I suppose is fair enough with Grace.What I'...

I haven't tried that sleeping position. I bet it's not great.CommentaryWhile this scenario is quite different, the wording in panel three deliberately references an episode of Justice League Unlimited calledThe Great Brain Robbery.Spoilers for that episode ahead, obviously.Hero The Flash and...

We had rails?CommentaryThat's probably not actually the best way to jump, but darn it, that's how she's jumping.Also sneak-running on all fours, because I wanted something different to convey moving quickly in a sneaky way. I'm 100% sure that would actually work terribly, but I like ...
July Poll #2
Femme Tedd totally not dressed like any known cartoon characters, be they meddling sleuth, a sarcastic cynic, or a mouse mechanic.Can vote for more than one
July Poll #1
Rhoda the werewolf!Can vote for more than one.(I'm hoping to draw the results of this one the first week of August, though I will prioritize Story and EGSNP comics)
Parable - 137 - HD
EDIT - Minor shadow correctionHer inventory defies time and space, okay?CommentaryIn which we learn the size of Susan's halo isn't a quirk of it technically being a hat. It's because Susan's just that good.Bandits in Skyrim and raiders in Fallout 4will sometimes talk to themselves ab...

I'm not sure what I'm writing anymore.Commentary- BARD!I woke up yesterday morning, having been up WAY too late and not properly rested, and I had NO IDEA what I was going to do for the this comic.Well, that's hyperbole. I knew I wanted Susan to make progress, which meant being on the sh...

He's a guard, you know.CommentaryI'm just going to leave this to interpretation so one of you can hopefully make me sound clever, 'cause I've got nothing.

Lodge... Ick?CommentaryDan is unavailable to comment on this comic. He is presently making sure there is enough blueberry fruit spread in his secret underground safe room.For reasons.He did, however, leave the following notes:"I'm not sure what is being added to the peanut butter and chocola...

You were right with the second one, Susan.CommentaryThis is the part where Dan laughs maniacally.Susan is intended to be 1:6 scale in panel one, which would be around 16.67% volume and height (about 10.67 inches tall in this case, or 27 cm).I think Sarah needs to try that headband look in the main c...

A timely complication.CommentaryAKA why it's recommended almost everyone who plays Skyrim gets their Illusion skill up to 50, thereby gaining access to the "silent casting" perk.Fun fact, that perk makes abilities known as "shouts" silent. You can literally shout someone off a cl...
Parable - 131 - HD
Rhoda what are you doing RhodaCommentaryWhoops! These things happen when you inexpertly combine mechanics from different games!And yes, Susan likes abs.Fable 2 was the first RPG I played in which armor didn't boost your defense. Beyond boosting or lowering social stats, they did nothing beyond c...

Susan? Susan? Susssssaaaaaaaaan...!(Metal Gear Solid reference yay)CommentaryPanel one references... Well, it could reference a lot of things, but let's say Skyrim.Panel three references the Metal Gear Solid games, in which main character Snake hides, and feels quite safe, under large boxes. One...

Spooky scary eye o_oCommentarySo hidden, much hide.I'm not sure how many video games this could possibly be in reference to, what with the eye visualization for being spotted, but the "caution, not danger" bit is in reference to Fallout games.

Catalina is a Very Important Kitty.CommentaryMy intent may well for that to be hair, and not actual cat ears, but that's not going to stop me from having Catalina emote with them.VIP as in "Very Important Person", which is an acronym that tends to get applied to people who receive specia...
Parable - 127 - HD
No one will believe it happened.CommentarySee? I know you were all worried that Catalina was only around to do cute stuff with Rhoda, but...What do you mean none of you were concerned?What do you mean her doing cute stuff with Rhoda was more than enough?What do you mean this development enrages you,...

What painting whatCommentaryWHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!That painter IS intended to be Sarah. I expect many will hop, skip, and jump all the way to that conclusion on their own, but the way I draw characters, the fact that I gave her eyelashes alone might result in doubt.
Parable - 125 - HD
Sneaky McSneakfaceCommentaryI don't recommend trying to walk while crouched. It's easily hard on the knees, and those are kind of important. In video games, though, you can do that for days, no problem.I've mostly been poking fun at Fable 2in Parable, but that game said "hey, remembe...
June Poll #2

June Poll #1
Amanda attempting to SCIENCE at a smaller size! Specifically, to undo that smaller size.Shrunk evenly all around, height is listed for simplicity.Can vote for more than one.

Nonetheless, Not-A-Monk Rhoda's come a long way with her biases regarding morality.CommentaryAlternatively, given the halo Rhoda could have mistaken Susan for having fallen in battle.I much prefer this to momentary Rhoda-anguish, however, even if a declaration of vengeance could have been good.
Sales Tax 2: The Maybe Taxening
First post on the subject <- Most info here, including a link to Patreon's page on it, which I'm also linking here.To summarize, depending on where you live, and what's in a reward tier, there may be sales tax on pledges starting July 1st.I don't think it's applicable to my tiers...
Sales Tax
Starting July 1st, there might be some sales tax applied for some patrons.I haven't been sure what to say about this myself, and to be honest, it kept slipping my mind. Patreon said it would be sending out e-mails about this on its own, so I'm hoping this is old news, but I'm sorry I did...

Whose dog is thisCommentaryI tried a version of this comic without the panting, AND IT WAS DEAFENINGLY SILENT. Have you ever seen an old sitcom without the laugh track? It was like that. A thing of nightmares that now burdens my soul.Anyhoo...Game Maker: "This game lets you be good and evil! It&...

The bird is not the word after all.CommentaryA happy accident in the previous comic was that I forgot to ink in Susan's halo.I realized this before I shared the comic, but I decided to keep it that way, as I was already imagining the halo having some physics to it in this comic.Also, it was less...

It's the word!CommentaryYou might look at Susan in disbelief in this moment, BUT...For one, she was startled. Heart pumping, full of adrenaline, people often don't act rationally.For two, have YOU ever suddenly had wings you weren't aware of on your back?For three, can YOU see your own b...
