--- Quote from: mneme on 28 Jan 2021, 01:05 ---I believe that's Willow's first (unnamed) appearance.
--- End quote ---
No, Willow, Iris and Yesmini's first appearance was much, much further back. It was when Emily created super-suits for the CoD staff. the three Fates were random customers who agreed that Dale looked super-hot in skin-tight spandex. Marigold somehow restrained the urge to slaughter all three of them for looking at her man in such a way.

I think that was half confusion that people might actually be envious of her and half proprietary pride that stayed her hand, rather than any altruistic feeling. If it happens again, I doubt she’d be so passive.
Meander:
Whatever deep psychological reasons Jeph may have for inserting Willow Dragonfang aside, I would die for her.

--- Quote from: traroth on 26 Jan 2021, 10:39 ---I'm surprised to see "brioche" in a poll about bread...
My vote would go to Kartoffelbrot, but it's not available in the poll. The topic of bread always make emerge my german roots. German bread with french cheese and wine...

'Other' should be one of the options.
As I understand it, brioche is a dessert bread.
--- End quote ---
It’s not. At least, not exclusively. It is well suited to desserts of course.
Just as an example, the current trend towards brioche burger buns.
Edit: In case you (traroth) are labouring under the misapprehension that brioche is cake because of the common English rendering of the famous phrase, “ Qu'ils mangent de la brioche” — let them eat cake — that’s a mistranslation. Brioche is a bread.

You know I'm french, right?

That was 3931. Willow's next appearance was in 3943, when Brün was on her way to the bank.

--- End quote ---
I agree, yes, Jeph does often have the tendency to state his opinion strongly and without filters. I disagree with your interpretation of the tweets: it felt less "all my readers are idiots and I don't care about them" and more "people, this is MY comic."
Also, take a moment to look at things from his point of view. He's spent seventeen years cultivating this passion project, learning to draw and write well nearly from the ground up. He quit his day job, risking his own comfort to focus on this comic full-time. He's built a beautiful, complete universe, incredible and relatable characters, and engaging storylines. He is known almost exclusively for his work on this specific comic. He spends hundreds of hours a year on it. He's created a paradise for thousands of readers over seventeen freaking years, which is literally longer than I've been alive. And then, everywhere he looks, in places he didn't create and has no influence in, there's hundreds of people telling him he's doing it wrong.
None of this is directed at you. I don't necessarily agree with how he put it. All I'm saying is, I kind of understand why he said what he did.
