Some questions about Kiki.

Shishio · Post by **Shishio** » Tue Aug 08, 2006 3:35 pm

I recently received Ghastly's permission to have Kiki make a guest appearance in my comic, (Although this won't happen for awhile.) and I do not want to violate the continuity of Ghastly's comic, but I do not have regular internet access, and therefore do not have the time to read every strip.

So, if you could let me know if there are any strips in which we see Kiki's room, and who her sexual partners have been throughout the series, I would greatly appreciate it.

Kiki's abortive efforts with Nort took place in what I assume is her bedroom, here: http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20011111.html

Not that it shows much of her room, but I betcha twentyfive sents Unka G would also consider this Richard Karandosh bit to be part of canon, as far as it goes.

As far as previous "sexual partners", there was a plate of pasta, the early classic character known to historians only as the randy fruitmonger, the Kiddie Ride, my personal favorite, a very lucky anonymous cephalopod, everyone else's favorite - the Rape Rape Revolution machine - and in one particularly disturbing dream sequence, Bobby

What a fun refresher. ^___^

Yeah, I feel fresher already! ^_^

Thank you very much Indigo Violent and Honor. I am especially indebted to you, Honor, your post was exactly what I needed, although you forgot the threesome she had with the Cthulhu monsters.

I was fortunate I was able to stifle my laughter while reading those strips and that noone looked at my screen...

Thanks again.

Oo! and don't forget the vaccum cleaner!
And Kiki talking about her version of the frog dream
Then there's the classic tentacle rape of Collective Animal Nouns

This reminds me, the archives are bit hard to navigate. Is there a topic or something where they're all linked or referred by date/title, or should I make one?

Ghastly · Post by **Ghastly** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 10:45 am

I'm going to be redesigning the entire site in the next few weeks/months. One of the things I'm going to do is rebuild the archive to make it more reader-friendly.

There's still a txt file on my desktop called "present for G.txt" or some such thing in which I had begun a comma delimited listing with the filename (which includes the date), title, and charatcer list of every comic...

The idea was, when I had free time, I'd hop over and add a few more to the list. Then free time got a lot more scarce.

I think it still might save some time for the Man Himself if anyone wants to join in... Just choose a block of months to catalog, post what you're taking on here to save duplicated effort, and then either email me the txt or post it here. When it's done, we'll have a hyperlinkable, databaseable, character searchable list that G may or may not use in his redesign.

Just remember while you're doing it that it's for public consumption... So accuracy, spelling, capitalization, and so on are important.

The formate I started with was this:

http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010509.html, This is only a test, ASCII Bunny
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010510.html, No means no!, Kiki, Glemph
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010519.html, Squeal like a pig, Glemph, Nort
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010526.html, Old punchline - New Twist, Kiki, the lucky octopus
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010603.html, What chu talkin' bout Glemph, Glemph, Chibi Sue
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010610.html, That's Gotta Hurt, Glemph, Chibi Sue, Hammer
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010617.html, The Ass Is Always Greener, Kiki, Chibi Sue
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010624.html, The Matching Of Shells, Hammer, Glemph, Nort
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010701.html, Flakey New Age Neo Pagans, Glemph, Fnanp
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010708.html, Down The Tubes, Glemph, Nort, Fnanp
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010715.html, Someone Needs A Nap, Nort, Fnanp, Baby Cuthy
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010722.html, sucks to be you, Fnanp, Baby Cuthy, Mr & Mrs Cthulu
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010729.html, It's funny because it's true, Glemph, Nort, Kiki, Mr & Mrs Cthulu
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010805.html, Begging for a lawsuit, Smokey, Chibi Sue
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010812.html, Smokey Says..., Smokey
http://www.ghastlycomic.com/d/20010819.html, Send complaints to... blowme@fanboy.com, Glemph, Nort, Megasombody-or-another lookalikes

...and so on.

I suppose if someone has a better idea for formatting, this would be the time to suggest it... Maybe additional tags for guest strips, subject matter, theme, series', and so on?

Gealachtine · Post by **Gealachtine** » Sun Aug 13, 2006 10:45 pm

Lordie! That's quite the undertaking, Honor my darlin'.

I'd love to help - but I have no time until mid-September.
If it won't hurt for my block of months to wait until I get back from Burning Man and finish with helping to organize and run the Colorado Earthdance Fest on Sept. 16th...then I'm all yours.

This would definitely be awesome.
I was wishing for a search helper when I couldn't remember when the vacuum one happened...though I ended up going through everything from start to finish, laughing and revisiting my favorites.

The rape, rape nation one is still one of my all-time favs. I sent the link to that one to manys of my friends.

Interesting Idea there obviously you'd want to be able to arange, comic archives by Date, Title, Characters, or other special property like Filler strips. Althought raises the question what's the character hierachy, is it alphabetically or is it by most common. Plus what does one do with no name characters anyway, like Random Bus Lady in the Hentai Guy Returns stripe? I mean you would want to included them in the search, but they should end up in a misc. grouping whatever format would be chosen, because other wise the list would become messy.

Sorting the characters by how often they appear and having each character's link list all the comics they are in would be incredibly useful... maybe instead of going by blocks of months we could assign each person a different character to find comics for?

Seems to me that would be inefficient, then everybody would have to look through all the comics to pick out the ones with that character. Not that re-reading old Ghastly comics is that much of a hardship, of course, but it is time consuming.

That is excellent news, Ghastly. I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks again for the help, everyone.

*pokes* I'm definately willing to help and I have lots of free time until September. Just tell me where you left off and I'll go from there for a few months.

Ok... The answer to all of the "you'd want to be able to search by..." is the same... That's why it's comma delimited data.

The answer, I think, to the "random bus lady" character question is, if the character doesn't appear at least twice, or isn't clearly identified, like the lawyers in the RRR arc, I think the best thing is for those comics to have a data field "extras" (which, more technically correctly, would be "extra/s", but let's not overcomplicate things...)

Actually... I just right now had another thought. I heard about Google Spreadsheet yesterday, and I think that might be the way to go for a colaborative effort like this... Let me check into it when I'm done with work today, and I'll post again...

So, if everyone will just hold your horses a sec... Everyone except Awkward... You just choose a body part and hold onto me.

Wait.. I'm not allowed to hold onto any horses? or you?!

Edit: Ah shit, I totally misread what you wrote... *grabs your tits* That's better.

D'Oh!!!

Ok... So I -just- saw the conversation Aeridus started on this subject a while back. So... I guess we've got a substantial head start thanks to his previous hard work on the subject.

I'm working on the shared spreadsheet... More when there're developments
