According to ye olde mech height charts from the FASA days the Atlas is 14 meters tall. The average human is 1.8 meters tall. That means the giant Atlas is only about the height of 7.7 average humans. The mad dog is only 10 meters or 5.5 average people tall. I don't think this is remotely to scale.

Is it bad we've reached a point where I legitimately cannot distinguish when slang like rizz is being used jokingly or not anymore?

I'm not sure this would actually change much honestly.

Probably more like Sir Thomas More's famous novel Utopia (A book not enough people actually read) than star trek. I'm skeptical that you can do post scarcity in a fantasy world without drifting into sci-fi or losing the fantasy but hey maybe a much more imaginative person than I can make it work.

I honestly preferred when you used Swollars and the little $ symbol with the sword. It was some great commitment to the bit.

That really just looks so nice inside it now. I don't know out of all the registers I've seen you restore over the years that I've ever seen the mechanisms inside look so clean. I'd almost want to see one with glass sides so you could watch all the gears, levers, and springs do their thing.

It wouldn't surprise me if Teresa's powers return occasionally to justify silly Halloween arcs from time to time only for them to fade back away afterwards.

Okay... So they're who knows how far from home with no vehicles and who knows if any of them even have money or identification except maybe Simon, since everyone else was basically at home before they were teleported into the void, and we're just leaving all that hanging?

I don't know if one is enough! I feel like you could spend another 10 comics and not wrap up the aftermath of everything that just happened.

I'm not sure I get this one. Is the character with the big ears singing loudly and annoyingly or are they both reacting to some loud source of music that is coming from the comic doesn't tell us where and the punch line of the music source or song is just missing?

My experience trying to use arch was just this... Constantly... Every time I tried to install or update something... I'd fix it, and it'd just be a problem again the next time.

It's really simple, either wages need to be high enough to cover cost of living or cost of living needs to be low enough for the wages offered, or the society just doesn't work. I don't see how that's not the most obvious thing. People have to be able to afford to live.

The real thicket is trying to find time to be a creative while meeting the demands of life and a day job which is something I've been struggling with for about 15 years now since I gave up trying to do full time artistic work and shifted to a corporate job and just have had to shelve everything art.

Easily one of my 3 favorite web comics right now. It's an amazing ride and I look forward to what is going to happen next.

How many more parts to this arc? We still don't know what's happened to Teresa's powers, are they gone completely? Diminished? Will she get them back? What about the your my dad convo between Sarah and Simon? What of the succubi left behind in the void? Why is Steven the only one Sarah understands?
