I was so late posting yesterday that it went into the next day in this programs system. So if I posted today it would make yesterday’s vanish. The 3rd page is a bonus for the confusion.

knowing Robin i can’t help but think he some how planed this to git a laugh,
bitflipper is right goat has truthbite in the holster on page 117
Well, part of him is certainly enjoying it. “And those things do please me which thus befall preposterously.”-Puck, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
That awkward moment when…
I feel so sorry for Goat. I don’t foresee Robin ever truly returning to the Puck he may have once been in a whole. Even if he comes to his senses he WAS James and that will never change. It seems Goat has realized the positive person in her entire life that we know of was nothing more than some magical AI created to make her fill in for a job Robin skipped town on.
Mushroom isn’t necessarily gone: if some aspect of him/it still exists somewhere, this could be causing half the problems James/Robin is experiencing. After all, if you magically dump half your memories and 2/3 of your personality into a construct, what says you keep a copy of that stuff yourself? Magic is more annoying than technology, after all, so Mushroom may be semi-independent somewhere, preventing Robin from full recovery of his memories and self.
So, the best we can say is that James/Robin is not Mushroom, and if Mushroom still lives, he’s probably going to cause even more problems than if he vanished, as his future existence may depend on Robin’s continued madness. đ
There’s definitely a connection between the two. But as Goat found out with the kiss. They are now 2 separate souls.
But we *did* get a glimpse of Mushroom some pages ago, as lots of people noticed. What was that about?

Karmicly suicide has to be a major shock.
I like Vogue. Though her methods are underhanded and vile she is rising above her preset station in life through sheer will… and stolen power. I am not sure if she is just never satisfied with what she has or her goal is so far up there that everything else pales before it.
Actually, with this strip, I almost pity her. “Not ‘good enough’ to be a pixy?” In what dimension of “good,” dear Lady? Why do you define your worth by others? Are you not Vogue? Do you not set the trends that others follow? Then whence comes this misconception of “good” under which you labor?
The time has come. Remove your masks and face yourself.
And I pray that your experience with Truthbite allows you to truly see yourself, and not to fall for some mirror’s illusion. There is reason that Keshi and Cosmo both sought out *your* strength to help them rise to power.
Let those too weak to be themselves worry about being “good” enough to please others.
Nice expo bro. But yeah, with this page, Vogue seems to have revealed something of a Fruedian excuse for her action. Rather than simple vanity and desire for power like your average card-carrying villain, Vogue may have some kind of self-hatred related to the stigmatism of being a hobgoblin (people generally equate ugly with evil and treat them as such). Her desire to “become” a pixie, and failing that, at least look like one, may be representative of her desire to escape the hobgoblin label.
That might mean that up until the events of failing to become puck and Goat, the ridiculed Brownie, becoming Puck, she was just fine with her new “image” and would have been satisfied if Cosmo had succeeded and became Puck. But then Goat happened, she lost her glamour, her power, and all the things that helped her “escape” from her hobgoblinness. In her fustration, she accepts the mask deal, and enjoys a moment of Power (capital P). But then she gets her chain yanked and FAILS to become Puck, AGAIN. But this time, instead of frustration, a revelation. She realizes something about herself. I think she’s ready to accept her True Self, the hobgoblin, and forsake the meaningless Power given to her by that demon, and earn some true Power herself. After that, me thinks things are going to get violent.
Then again, I’m just making some wild guesses here.
You’re close…so very close…I think you will be pleased with her “revelation”
Hey – sorry if you’ve already heard about this, but webcomicbox.com is currently showing your comic – did you give them permission for that? If so, sorry to bother you about it.

Just visited webcomicbox.com to check this out. They are definitely showing We Shadows there, but they’re doing it tastefully – by linking back to this site as well. In addition, they’re not just hot-linking the photos from here, but hosting copies on their own server, which means We Shadows is getting more exposure without paying for more bandwidth.
That said – I’d be interested to know if they asked permission before doing so.
