Shall we dance... Over there? - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

"Where?" "There." "There?" "No, there." "Not there?" "Not there." "But there." "No, there-there." "Thank you, but I was feeling okay, actually."

Grace's blunder - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"You didn't do that on purpose, did you!"
"No, of course not! Had it been on purpose, it would have been preceded by award-winning drama!"
"That sounds like it would've taken a while."
"Exactly!"
"...Wait a minute..."

A note for you, sir! - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

"Is your refrigerator running?"

"Those haven't been invented yet. Even if they had, by the time you receive this reply, and I receive yours, the timing of your joke will have collapsed."

"Well, you better go catch it!"

Are those anime wings?! - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"Anime wings?"
"You know, wings close to or on the hip area instead of the upper back."
"I don't think that specifically makes them anime wings. Besides, aren't they a little too high up?"
"Hmph."

How do I look? - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

"Absolutely dreadful."
"DREADFUL?!"
"Wait, is that not a compliment? I meant it as a 'bad is good' sort of thing."
"Dreadful doesn't… I mean… I don't think…? Aw, heck. I don't know."

A pointy thing to point out - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"What pointy thing?"
"Your hair!"
"Most of us have pointy hair. We're all quite dangerous to pat on the head."

And then they were all sad about that.

Obviously, this is in reference to matters of personal assessment and humility. It could not possibly be in reference to anything else whatsoever.

So about FV5... - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"FV5? What's FV5? I've never heard of FV5! Is that a type of car? I'm not into cars, myself. More of a bicycle person, myself, and I'm willing to prove it by going out right now to buy a bicycle!"

Transforming a prince - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

Part 1 of 57. Naturally, you don't just suddenly transform a prince. It takes at least 12 comics at a minimum, 30 comics to do it pretty well, 50 if you REALLY want to do it right, and 57 if you write like I do.

Hope did WHAT?! - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"I uncovered the magic mirror! That's not so bad, right?"
"You got the wrong magic mirror! THIS mirror is a portal to a nightmare realm!"
"So THAT'S why Grace has been punching so many demons..."

I didn’t know that Fortify Magicka went crazy-go-nuts when combined with Salmon Roe waterbreathing. #Skyrim

For 5 seconds is weird, and I assume it’s going to get worse with higher alchemy, so that’s a shame.

HEY! Listen to this! - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

If you want to lock on to an enemy, hit the Z-button! What do you mean there's no Z-button? There MUST be a Z-button! Why would there NOT be a Z-Button?!

We could do that, right? - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

An incredible twist that no one could possibly see coming because I am the master of pretzel-based writing.

In that there are incredible twists, and not in that it's incomprehensible.

Can one really know a pretzel?

What we know, what we suspect - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

Transformation Confirmed! - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

"No, seriously, what even is EGSNP?"
"EGS plus NewsPaper, because these comics are sized like those in newspapers."
"So it's NOT 'No Pickles'."

Let Them Fight - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"Isn't that a Godzilla reference?"
"Maybe."
"And just who am I in this scenario?"
"Uh..."
"Because if it's not Godzilla, I'm going to be very upset."

A choice to make - www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder...

A choice like waffles or pancakes. Or pancake waffles. Or a muffin that's been put into a waffle press.

But WHY bring her? - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

A rather rude question! But perhaps a fair one under the circumstances.

One might recall Tedd said "agents" before... - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

Actually, it really was just Bishop who showed up. She's so tall, you see, that she was mistaken for two agents, and—ACK I'M SORRY DON'T KICK ME WITH YOUR LONG LEGS

Must protect! - www.egscomics.com/comic/falsek...

"You're aware she's probably stronger than you, right?"
"Actually, we're super unclear how strong she is. She could be anywhere from Tedd trying to move furniture to Grace lifting a car."
"Wait, whose car?"
