I get the same funny and slightly bewildering vibes that i get from fancomics. i think Tom made a fancomic of his work, and that's absolutely brilliant. i also feel a lot of the people in the bottom comments will not get it.
Edit: and the bottom comment people prove me wrong.

The only way to get us really pissed is to kill GC, Tom. I fully anticipate that you put your own life at risk if you ever plan to do that.  |

Oh well.. I guess it was too much to hope for that there was a web comic asides from Girl genius that could keep taking itself serious. I´m torn between feeling that oh well its just a little fandom/funny and that thats nothing to get all worked up about. Yet then again i also can´t help feel that it takes something away from GC. At the end of the day I guess i just wouldn't have put it in instead of the regular brilliance. Wont make me stop reading GC and it shouldent but it does lessen it  |

I'm one of the people who doesn't get it (partly because I'm only slightly less ignorant than Annie about the current video games out there).
Is this a guest comic? The different style suggests it, but Tom doesn't say who it's by.
I suppose we'll have to wait until Monday for the Chapter Nineteen title page after all.

Are you calling GC 'serious'? (A good 30% of strips feature at least one bit that's made me giggle.) |

As in not making funny gimmicks that dosen´t fit into the storyline and such. It just seems so much out of place and it interrupts. And yes there are plenty of funny stuff in GC and I love it. But this is just too noisy a break. |

You're being melodramatic.
Let Tom have his fun. He's not making this comic for our sole and primary benefit.
This page in no way devalues the comics merit. Kat is a full hearted gamer girl and gamers tend to go off like this in real life too. [last game i heard which had such a reaction was RE 4 or 5]
Even "proffesional" comics have gags, and in their main plot too.
Theres an issue of X men where its Jubilee's birthday [or at least someone close to Logans [wolverine] and they're sad wolverine didnt come. And all this time theres this fellow in this clown suit dancing about and he walks up to the cake and slices a piece of it off with some claws which suddenly come out of its gloves. [Logan wanted to surprise them]
********
Plus, do look at the page. Its a sketch that Tom wanted to share with us and thought we'd find amusing.
The only way he could demerit GC was by making it blatently pornographic. Not by putting in amusing pages.

I don’t see what the fuss is about personally, the fact that Kat has the same emotional reaction to gaming as I do helps me relate to her all the more. Useful really, since Kat is very much the emotional hub of the story.
And how is this a gimmick? Aren't we allowed to have little character based asides anymore? We are between chapters after all.

I think Kat should play Earthbound. I wonder how she would react to Giygas battle.

What about Portal? All of you should be playing Portal, just because it's worth it.

And yes there are plenty of funny stuff in GC and I love it. But this is just too noisy a break. Sorry, but if that's the way you think, then wouldn't most of the bonus pages have annoyed you? The Grand Theft Auto one, in particular? The one where Reynardine transforms? Or even the one where Annie forgot to let him talk again? I don't get what you're saying so much. There's tonnes of stuff like this in the comic itself, and in the bonus pages. Anyway, like I said, I don't have a clue about the game, but I still find the strip funny. Now that I think about it, maybe this was the game I was advised to play by some guys at school...I think it was. Maybe I should investigate! |

I think that part of it might come from the different style (black and white rather than colored), which makes it seem less like a regular bonus page.
I also think that hel's point is his fear that "Gunnerkrigg Court" is changing from an atmospheric serialized graphic novel about a strange young girl exploring an equally strange school and gradually uncovering the mysteries around it (and her family) into a comedy gag strip.
