Where everybody knows your name. (Even if you’re GNOR’TH’LUB)

Sorry this one’s a bit late, my health is a rollercoaster, as you guys may know. Except it isn’t fun.
(Norma’s Day is not a holiday. It’s a day of the week.)
SO MANY DEMONS! It’s like our very first pages all over again… except no, it’s really not.
Seems like we got quite a few new readers from our recent advertising campaign. Thanks so much for reading, guys, and feel free to comment at any time! Because I love to talk to you!
Whoa, Davis’ horns are huge!!!
They are on the large side (it’s one of the reasons he’s so arrogant… I wonder if Dr. Floyd will figure that one out), but Carl’s are just pretty small so they look even bigger by comparison. Bob’s are pretty big too, except he was in a tragic accident once which also turned him into a hipster.
So Gnor is the one with the skinny horns and the propeller hat?
Yep!
If you ever start selling merchandise, you’ve got to make sure you stock Floyd’s shirt.
But can we bottle his charisma?
Hmm… I suppose if you advertised on a REALLY popular webcomic like Axe Cop or something anyone led to your comic would instantly fall in love with it and then, maybe you could get someone to sponsor your merch. Wow that would be cool!
Tail holed chairs. Also, white ghost silhouette.
Yes, those are things which appear in this comic.
I want to know who is the mystery lady that floyd is talking too!
Also changed my icon
(if you know what its from you become ten times more awesome and you win 2 internets!)
Hello fellow homestucker. Nice seeing a fellow fan.
That’s where we just advertised, so I’m sure you’ll see more
my two fav comics, Homestuck and the forth
*BLUSHING*
Aggreed! I am new to the Forth but it instently made my top 10. Homestuck avertizing was a great idea. Not sure I would have found this otherwise…
Bartender lady is adorable.
Also, exactly what day is Norma’s day and why is it called that?
Floyd agrees.
It’s the second day of the week, all of which are named after the gods and goddesses, along with All Gods’ Day. Someday we’ll explain it all when we dive into religion in Idenau, but that pool is pretty deep…
I never knew Davis was so popular.
Of course! He’s freakin’ Davis!
Can Slice get any more awesome?
I know it’s hard to believe, but probably. We’ll see!
love the faces in that last panel
Thanks!
I’m totally naming my kid Gnor’Th’Lub.
He clearly won’t stick out like a sore thumb on the class list, and the teachers will definitely know how to pronounce it. XD
Somehow, I completely missed Slice’s face the first time I read this strip. I don’t do well with pictures.
If Davis keeps abusing Ecta like this, I think Ecta will become my favorite character. I feel really bad for her, and somehow, that makes me like her more. I don’t understand.
You mean, the one where it’s like, half the whole panel…? ^_^;
Oh, I understand. Characters just tend to be more likeable when they’re dealing with struggles instead of on top of the world, because it makes them more relateable. Seeing how people respond to conflict and hardship is what stories are all about, and gives us inspiration and wisdom for our own lives. That seems to be why many people like Skarva too, if not for just his devilish good looks.
Yeah, Skarva and Lorelei are my favorite out of that group, (though I do like Derk as well), but Ecta is becoming my favorite out of this group rather rapidly, (I did not really previously have a favorite – though, again, that is not a result of not liking any of them, just not favoring them over another).
Yep, the “half the panel” one…I pay more attention to text, (and, more lately, the person who expressed it and anyone who it is directed at), than I do the actual comic. Somehow, I missed the “Hi!”, otherwise I definitely would have seen it the first time around.
Ecta is probably having homicidal thoughts right about now.
I REALLY don’t blame her.
Oh gods, the crime scene, it was horrible…
The demon with the bow tie, he had a beer stein smashed over his head and a feather pen shoved through his… I don’t want to talk about it.
T-that lurkin bartender is one of the cutest darned things in this comic and that is -really- saying a lot at this point >.>
I hope she comes back…
Ecta smash! Also: eyes meeting across a crowded room? How deligtfully cliche’
Will we ever see that Lurkin waitress again?
Maybe we won’t… but Floyd might
