The exciting spinoff that everyone definitely wants.- At egscomicsAll Camdin, all the time! THAT'S what the people want! At least, that better be what they want. We're hiring A-list actors to play him, and they get paid in yachts.EDIT - Very minor shadow correction on one of Camdin's fin...

New comic who this - At egscomicsWhoever it is, they're not running with their arms behind them, so they are clearly NOT a ninja.Unless that's what they want us to think.Commentary- Camdin introduction- Camdin getting an earful from Luke for knocking him over and leaving him behind while run...

Definitely not scary- At egscomicsUnless, of course, the scariest thing is what we don't consider scary, because then when they DO do something scary, it's like "whoa no way I thought you weren't scary".--First, a note: I was hoping to have a sketchbook this week, but I ran into ...

Determined to be cute - at egscomicsYou make a cute sound like a cat. It fills you with determination.CommentaryI think I've been waiting to establish that Lucy has taken sword-fighting lessons for at least half a decade.For whatever reason, I've always thought of Lucy as some sort of warrio...

Terrifying Presence - At egscomicsI mean, sure, it gives her unique dialogue options, but there are much more useful perks out there.Commentary- Catalina Vs Giant Boar (more accurately, Catalina helping scare giant boar away)Seriously, Lucy, I don't think you have anything to worry about.I find ...

Definite huge fashion success no further questions - At egscomicsHonestly, it's cause for celebration that I don't just put everyone in eighties workout clothes. Or maybe not doing that is a cause for despair? Results may vary.CommentaryI'm going to have to do a color version of that out...

Fashion class! - At egscomicsI'm an expert, you know. Lesson one: Fashion peaked in the eighties. Lesson two... Wait, where are you going?- Diane the teacher previously imagined while talking to Justin at the party with AshleyI had no plans whatsoever to make a comic like this before I started c...

Possibly valid concerns! Maybe!- At egscomicsCommentary- Chased after (by Luke's friends being foolish, and Luke inadvertently causing it)Look, I've gotten nervous telling people there's a TV show I like. Rhoda being worried about the reaction to telling Diane and Lucy she has absurd mag...

Absurd convenience- At egscomicsCommentaryI listen when people talk, and that includes many, MANY comments on various inconveniences resulting from very long hair, and, um... STUFF.And because those previous comments are in my mind-brain palace, I tend to think about them when drawing relevant chara...

Pros and cons- at egscomicsCommentaryShockingly, I find something one of my characters is dealing with relatable.This is unprecedented, I know.Someday, Diane will wear that outfit again. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday!Though she'll probably ditch the extra belts around the wais...

Self-perception. - At egscomicsCommentaryPeople don't need to know about Catalina's cat-magic to call her a cat.Heck, they don't even need to know her name's Catalina. Just one look at her, and people are like "is she a cat?"--More comics at egscomics in partnership with Hive...

Comic Delays due to Computer Replacement
Comic delays to Story and EGSNP due to computer issue, will have next comics ASAP, more details below.My relatively ancient computer has started having issues, and is either in need of repair or replacement. Given the "relatively ancient" adjective, I've chosen replacement (though I gues...

Natural comparison- At egscomicsCommentaryI wasn't entirely sold on what I'd written for this comic before I got to "bowling platform shoes."Bowling platform shoes are why this comic exists as it does.I'm not entirely sure what imaginary Susan is doing? I sort of imagined her doi...

Well, OBVIOUSLY, yes.- at egscomicsCommentaryI considered using the magic not-change, in which some spells became more difficult to use, to make Rhoda slightly less overpowered. Not NOT-overpowered, she's supposed to be overpowered, but maybe LESS overpowered.The way I wound up changing things, ...
March 2024 End of Month Poll
Catalina and Rhoda out and about, and not particularly concerned about hiding their magic!For the record, I wasn't sure whether Catalina should be "curvy", but I couldn't resist the alliteration.How small "small" Catalina would be in the last two options is something I would ...

The only polite decision is made- At egscomicsCommentaryRhoda didn't suggest potential alternatives in the past three comics because I didn't want to unintentionally imply any of them were actually on the table.That, and we're in EGSNP town. There's only so much panel space.I also di...

Well, I DUNNO... - At egscomicsCommentaryThis, too, is WRITING! And SHOWING!Because, no, Catalina's original spell can't do this nonsense. THIS nonsense is NEW.Also, yeah, Rhoda and Catalina have fun.--More comics at egscomics.com in partnership with Hiveworks

Diplomatic rolling of spherical objects against mutual adversaries. - At egscomicsCommentaryTo be clear, Diane and Lucy hadn't even suggested bowling yet. Rhoda just assumed they inevitably would.Which might sound a BIT unfair, but we already know she wasn't wrong to expect it.That said, som...
Double Date - 002 - HD
The other half of the date- At egscomicsCommentaryNo, that last panel is NOT gratuitous.That is SHOWING the magic they can do instead of just TELLING everyone they have magic.It's WRITING!I wanted Catalina to note that the tail might help with balance, but I ran out of room to include it without...
