Was originally going to have Todd say "Marjorie" or "Ophelia" or something else old-fashioned sounding, but then realized it was a good "callback joke" opportunity. :3
I picked up Saints Row 4 on the Steam holiday sale and love the craziness. I also love the character creator… President Selkie in 2016 ya’ll. This strip finishes the Big Ol’ Infodump story line. We’ll see the De’Madieas again[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There's some pretty big continuity errors here that I didn't catch in time to fix (or if I did go back to fix them it would delay the comic to the point of a skipped update). Lets make a Where's Waldo game of it instead.
Today’s strip was a little bit late because I got too distracted training my five-year-old girl to summon elemental primals instead of rainbow-squirrels. Also got a Fanart post to share today! This image was drawn by Lucheek in an art[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Pohl puts the "magi" in "magitech". I wanted to close out the De'Madiea family's appearance with something unique that Todd and Selkie couldn't necessarily see/hear, but not something that ended the arc on a huge plot-related WHAM note like the "last of her clan's survivors" exposition from the hospital scene.
Happy 2014 Selkie readers! (Actually I am posting this a few hours early, so it may be 2013 still as you read this. Early strip to celebrate. XD) It’s been another great year, and I am looking forward to many[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sarnothi religion includes the concept of a dual-spirit. There is a spirit-self which is comparable to the idea of a "soul", but also a second spirit (a separate entity entirely) that serves as a bridge between the corporeal and spiritual worlds. Pluralized word forms are commonly used to address both a person's spirit-self and their spirit-bridge counterpart simultaneously, to avoid disrespecting one or the other.
Since, like… ALWAYS, Selkie. (For this installment of Poor Time Management Theater, I may focus on trying to make Wednesdays strip on-time then go back to this one later.)
I'd ask how many people had wondered about where Selkie's speech patterns come from, but I am afraid the amount of affirmative responses would crash the comments server.
I was almost going to do a Christmas Filler instead of the next strip in line, partially because I feel really “tempting fate”-y about doing this particular subject on Christmas Day, but I instead chose to keep with my tradition[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
