GC was reviewed on a thread in the forum at (now-defunct) Big Pond. It was during Mainly Involves Robots when Reynardine transforms into a full-fledged wolf for the first time. I remember the comment Tom wrote ("I've been waiting since Chapter 3 Page 23 to draw this") made me want to go back into the archives and start from the beginning.
Awesome comic, Tom!

I have a habit of checking out the links on webcomics I like. The artwork on the link initially attracted me to site and the storyline soon caught me.

I was browsing that den of perverts and scum, 4chan, when I came across a page from Gunnerkrigg. Intrigued, I decided to investigate further and made my way here.

Well! I read a lot of webcomics and a few of those with some dedication, but I've never registered on the sites for any of them, even the one which brought me here - Questionable Content, and Jeph's link to this site.
But Mr. Siddell, you deserve to know how appreciated your little corner of cyberspace is. This comic is simply brilliant. Thank you for bringing me quite a few hours of enjoyment reading through it twice last night and for the many more hours to come.

Reading Questionable Content. I took some time to check GC out... loved the art and the first chapters story, just kept reading.
Also I'm somewhat of a web comics Junky I have almost 30 in my favorites that I routinely read. 10 that I always check on update days. GC is now one f those 10.

I've got you beat champ, I think I just crossed the 70 mark with constantly-checked webcomics.

I also came here from Questionable Content. I'm registered on the forum there but I don't really use it.
I have only six webcomics I read regularly. There have been about another three I used to read a loads I've read a few strips of but I lost interest or felt I was trying hard to like something obscure, which is just too stupid for words so I stopped.

I forget how I first discovered GC, all I remember is that for a long time I had it on my list of webcomics I checked daily. Then my computer suffered a major breakdown, and was committed to an institution for recovery. (Turns out it had abandonment issues. Go figure.)
In the meantime I suffered nearly a year without a computer before I managed to get a new one (which, it turns out, was really bad for my old PCs mental health.) and I only managed to keep up with a few comics over the gap.
Gunnerkrigg Court was one of the many excellent comics that fell through the cracks for me, until just a week or so ago I bumped into it again. I spent 2 entire workdays re-reading the archive, and now eagerly await each update.

Greetings all.
I discovered GC in a roundabout way from a link Jeph put up at Questionable Content.
I read the first chapter and was so engrossed, I stayed up until 3 in the morning to read the entire thing through.

GC is mentioned all the time on TV Tropes. I though, "This sounds interesting." On the TV tropes page for disguises, there is part of the strip where Annie wears the little antennae to trick the robot guard. After I saw that, I was hooked.

A friend of mine on another forum really likes the comic. His avatar was Boxbot for some time, and, at one point in the proceedings, he linked to the comic. I was curious, so I clicked it. I was intrigued by the art...so I went to the beginning. Our stories are probably similar from there on out. Despite being terrible, it appears that Boxbot has done some good in my life.  |

I think it was a link in a post in Emmy Cicierega's LJ (emmyc.com), back when I read it.

I found about GC while wandering in the endless archives of the TV Tropes Wiki, and while now i was trying (failing) to find the exact article where i found about GC in the first place, i found "The Repository of Dangerous Things" instead. And, surprise! the only guest comic of that (unfortunately short and finished) comic was made by our dear Tom! Here's the link to that special comic page: www.dangerousthings.net/archive/113.shtml ...Tom style seems more... "angry" looking in that one...me likes it. *bows to the Polymorphic Tea* |

Now would be a good time for a "DUN DUN DUNNN."
...No? I didn't hear one either.
But good catch, Yin.

I found Gunnerkrigg on 4Chan, too, although I don't remember which board.

Completely randomly, actually.
Someone posted the page with Kat and Annie playing GTA in an image board on 4chan and I hunted down the source. Read every page in one sitting. Keep em coming.

I kept seeing it mentioned on TV Tropes and by some of my friends, and the impression I got was that I'd like it, so eventually I sat down and read the archives; I finished it about halfway through The Medium Beginning, but I'm not really clear on which page.
