You're misunderstanding. Let me put it like this. Imagine it's the future and Goblins has already finished, and you come up to the site for the first time and start archive-diving. Do you read at a rate of 1 comic every 5 days? Or do you go on a content binge and get a bunch at once? I know I'd do the latter. Maybe not all of it in one sitting, but I'd blow through months worth of the comic, then some months more on my next sitting. I'd very likely be through the entire thing within a week, certainly within the month.RocketScientist wrote:You're saying you want the comic to hurry up and end? Wow, I really don't want that.dictionary wrote:Resolution : the point in a literary work at which the chief dramatic complication is worked out.
Another thought experiment. Imagine THunt gains superpowers and now it won't kill him to update once per day with the same quality you have now. Would you do it? I think almost everybody here would. Even though the comic will end five times sooner, since, as THunt has stated, the comic's plot has already been "written".
I want to reach resolution not because I don't want there to be any more comic, but because I want to consume all of the comic. If THunt can make the comic twice as long without sacrificing story quality, then I want that. To me, the altsplanations are *mostly* not a sacrifice of story quality (IIRC there was one jokey one that fell flat with me, but not every update gets to be a winner even in a comic I really like). I don't want to sacrifice any story quality.
I'd totally give up some of the art though. It's full of interesting details, and I do appreciate it, and at times it's story-supporting, but I know it drove THunt ragged for years when he didn't control his schedule and now it's dictating a once-every-five-days update cycle. And I would rather take the content in faster.
I'm using Firefox on Win7, if that matters at all.
