It's still, you know, SFS, and may still turn into a Fred Herring (I kinda-sorta still hope so).
Also what happened to 'do not suspect malice if something can be explained by just incompetence' hmm ?

"Incompetent" isn't the only alternative to "creepy pervert".
I really don’t believe that. There are alternatives, you know.
So am I. =)darrin wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 5:37 pmThat is one of the key components of the argument I've been making for the past, wow literally ten strips now. So yeah, definitely same page with you there.Invisigoth wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 5:04 pm
Junko seems to actually LIKE this guy and was enthused to get ready for a meet up. I really don't think that she'd be so happy if it were some garden variety panty sniffer who wanted to bother her.
…I hope he’s on Ping’s side. I think that if he would be out to "retrieve" or just "catch" her, he wouldn’s be sitting there drinking his coffee so placidly.darrin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 11:35 am
(Please note that even in the above model, I am not yet assuming he is a "good" guy, as a simplistic alternative to the obviously bad guy creepy pervert theory. It would remain to be seen whether he is on Ping's side (did he help her "escape"?), or is a smarter (and thus much more dangerous) version of Ed...)
That's a much better (more "MegaTokyo style") way of putting it than I had in mind. So, yes.
Wow, flattering. I would say first that I don't think I ever did anything unique; I was inspired (shortly after joining the old forums) and influenced by many superior examples: Zahooee, baka_bomb, Captain Button, Brigid EDITand SarethEDIT to name a few (Negima was another giant that I had some interaction with but was mostly before my time infortunately). So if you are asking around and I would be one among many then definitely yes; if you meant me in particular I would say check out the archives before you decide that. I would ask that Fred's copyright be retained on any of mine you take (I always kept those to make it clear who the original "owner" was). PM me for further details or if I can assist in any way.@darrin: yeah, thanks, you know, I was actually thinking, when I get that far - when I reach the comic they were sourced from - do you mind, if I 'scanlated' your rescripts to Polish ? Hopefully my English would be creative enough to translate /that/

Agreed; I think I mentioned the calm cool coffee drinking a few posts back, but consider it mostly subjective, so I haven't been leaning on it too heavily. (In Bayesian terms it might be worth a few percentage points one way or other but is probably not by itself gonna be a determiner.) Gosh, considering this started so recently I am starting to think this might be one of my favorite sub-arcs yet. Fred is awesome.…I hope he’s on Ping’s side.

He much rather wouldn’t have let her out of his sight, would he?
I ask because I liked them, that is all especially the rescripted arc with magical girl capabilities -but I see them all hillariousdarrin wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 5:36 pm

Meh, this one was way more brilliant than anything I ever did, just to pick one out of about a bajillion examples. (Sadly so many have become "user posted image" over the decade since I was involved in the scene...) Not withdrawing permission or anything, just making it clear I don't deserve singling out, not by a long shot. But this is way off topic by now so I would suggest PM or maybe starting up a thread in Fan Works for further discussion.

SpoilerShowOh come on, I meant digitally. Why does everyone go straight for the pervy interpretation.
Sorry, I hadn’t meant my observation to sound like an original argument.Agreed; I think I mentioned the calm cool coffee drinking a few posts back, …
So true! =)Fred is awesome.
Ooh. New post? Looking forward to it! And we’ll see about the sign language.I should have gotten this out before the new comic went up (which I have not yet seen, honest), but if anyone thinks I am just about the Bayesian and not capable of making a crazy prediction:
The Old Man knows sign language.
Oh, sorry, didn't mean it that way... In fact I should I have said more explicitly that I now think I was undervaluing this observation; you're right that him having malevolent intentions toward Ping is hard to reconcile with his casual attitude (she's gone completely out of sight)...BetaCygnus wrote: ↑Fri Aug 24, 2018 7:58 amSorry, I hadn’t meant my observation to sound like an original argument.
Oh snap, I just got it; SEVS: Sony eMotion-captured Versatile Simulacrum.
