When Tom did the guest comic for Dr McNinja earlier this year. Not that I had been reading Dr. McNinja terribly long; I reached 'cause it was "featured comic" on VG Cats. Er... that's it.  |

I think I saw it when Tom did the SGR Idol thing over on ScaryGoRound. I didn't realise how amazing it was then, though. I found it linked from somewhere else as well a while later and started reading properly, that was when I realised how amazing it is.
Now when I tell people about it I'm jealous because I know how much joy they have ahead of them.

Y'know, I can't actually remember. I think it was plugged over on Dresden Codak. The guy who does that might be a little slow in updating his strip, but he's certainly not slow in digging up good webcomics, and I've found more than a few of my faves thanks to that place. |

This "How did you discover Gunnerkrigg Court?" question would be a good one for the Introduction Thread.

I found GC in the links section of an other webcomic I can't remember. Afterstrife or No Rest For The Wicked or something else ... I'm not sure. The first page I ever saw was this one and I totally loved Coyote! His dialogue and bodylanguage made him appear like a trickster-god in an astonishingly easy way, not to mention his design which clearly indicated Tom's awesome creativity. I was like "Wow, sweet!" and read the whole comics in just a couple of hours over two days. etc. |

Doc McNinja, when Tom did a guest comic. It was during the "Mainly Involves Robots" Chapter, when Annie was grabbing Robot's brain from it's little cell. I was the same. |

I discovered it through 4chan of all places. There was a load of them posted. And as I quite enjoy reading, thought I'd go to the beginning.

Lessee...someone posted the Mort-scares-Paz sequence in a "Funny Images" thread on another board I frequent. I was curious and followed the images.

A friend of mine (who's on here as Riess) who's just starting up a fantasy webcomic of his own had featured an homage to Shadow 2 in one of its pages, and of course, linked Gunnerkrigg Court in his comments.
So I went over there, and...I forget where exactly I came in. It was before The Medium Beginning, probably partway through A Bedtime Story. I clicked back to the very beginning and read the entire comic through in about 2 days. Then kept up with it. And am definitely a fan now, as my fairly sparse artwork here shows.

Same as talanhawke, and I must say that GC is probably on the TOP3 of favorite webcomics of all time for me; unsure on the exact position, but TOP3 indeed.

I found this place Via the RPG.net Motivational posters thread, not very long ago. Someone poosted a couple showing Reynardine changing to chase off the teenagers, and then of him picking the lock... I was curious enough to check it out. As I do with all new to me webcomics, I went back to the beginning, and was instantly hooked. The touches of dry humor (No Spare Robot Parts), the story, the pacing, the very deliberate feel of it all... I even made a poster of my own, in reference to the Call of Cthulu games...  Granted I've never played the games, but I heard enough jokes about San Loss that this seemed an appropriate image. |

First read it about two years ago and lost the link. Found it again either from Sam and Fuzzy, SGR or possibly even A Miracle of Science, can't remember. Been reading it regularly for about 6 months, joined the forums because of the site crash  |

Either Dresden Codak or Minus. I'm not sure which, but I discovered Dresden Codak through Minus or maybe Minus through Dresden Codak. It's just a series of links...

My twin, Yue-chan told me about it and convinced me to read it after striking a deal (she'd watch Doctor Who and I would read Gunnerkrigg). I've been hooked ever since.

I've only known about GC for about a year. I got pulled into the DCodak forums by "International Pretend To Be a Time Traveler Day" and just happened to glance at their webcomic thread. GC was listed several times, and I had never heard of it. Seemed to be worth a look.
Now it's my favorite webcomic. Hands down. Thanks, Diaz.

(I'm a long time lurker, so this would be my first post.)
Curiously enough, I found Gunnerkrigg while reading the comments on the blog Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad. I'd seen it somewhere once before (or at least I thought I had), but I hadn't read it before. It looked interesting enough, so I gave it a read and found it incredibly enjoyable. That was a couple pages into The Fangs of Summertime.

A long time ago, Josh Lesnik (creator of Girly) made a controversial post on his livejournal blog where he criticized the art-work of a bunch of the more popular webcomics on the internet. Gunnerkrigg was one of the comics he listed as one he listed for something he considered having good art-work and top of being written well.
And funny enough, sort of similar to a previous post in this thread, I originally gained interest in the story because the structure reminded me of Harry Potter.

I dipped in the articles on tvtropes.org and ended up on the strips page.
Eventually decided to read the comic to see what all the fuss was about!
