Annotated 14-19
I’m glad we included the “Oh, yeah, you’re that DWARF” bit here, because it became obvious at this point that some readers who commented weren’t reading other peoples’ comments, or the tags. I know it can sometimes be challenging to follow a secondary character through a change in art style, but superhero comics have left me pretty used to that as a reader. “Oh, that’s what Jarvis looks like this month? Hm, must’ve let himself go. On the other hand, Lois looks like she got a new nose.”
We’re getting to see a lot of sides from Taro here, actually! Failure’s Just a Mistake You Haven’t Corrected sounds like it could be a self-help book, and it’s a sign that for all Taro’s complaining we see later, he is absorbing some success-minded thinking from his dad.
At this point in the story, we were voting on merchandise (I’m so glad you guys didn’t vote for more T-shirts) via the strip’s official accounts on Facebook and… Google Plus. Wait, can that be right? What was “Google Plus?” I’m not sure anyone remembers.

“and Google+ was shut down for business use and consumers on April 2, 2019”
Wow I didn’t even know it had officially shut down. Amazing.
As amazing as the fact that it lasted that long when it never got any traction.
Also, did we get a double update? Past page is missing annotations too.
Don’t make me get the manager.
Looks like the past page was mis-scheduled; should’ve gone up sooner. Fixed it and the annotations and we should be good going forward.
The “Next” button for http://guildedage.net/comic/annotated-14-17/ is broken/doesn’t lead to http://guildedage.net/comic/annotated-14-18/.
This should resolve itself with the next update!
I had forgotten how transparently murderous Taro was even at this early stage. Not “Wheee, I have a new toy and am entirely unconcerned about the safety of people around me” but “I will kill people with this thing! HEY YOU! I’m especially going to kill YOU! Right now! Watch as I crush you to death!”
I love Rachel’s attempts to Frig.
Wonder how far that thing can go on one “tank” it is bound to needs loads of fuel.
And this is why you don’t forget to close the hatch of your tank.
