Haha, wow- Just read through the last two Octopus Pie updates for the first time, and purely from an elevating-your-comic-game standpoint, taking it to an irregular-chunk update schedule was a brilliant idea. I love this new, more substantial and cohesive… “webcomic” doesn’t seem the right word. What’s the word people use for things like Scott Pilgrim and Blankets? Web-that.
The style of this comic has changed so subtly… It’s really retained a lot of its original charm. I like how Meglynn put it – ‘tightened up’. Meredith has managed to keep it consistent while improving at the same time. I can’t stand it when web comic artists experiment a lot…
Oh, I loved this storyline.. I’m kind of like Eve in this sense–I can’t understand why it’s so hard for me to get into a relationship. I always end up feeling queasy every time someone gets close to me, though it’s not like singlehood has that much to offer either. Of course, it’s not even on the same scale, hers involves moving her entire life to another place, and mine just involves a small commitment.
LOL, Marek gave them a pairing name.
I’ve been reading all of your comic in 2 days, and I love it to bits! The style is fun, the characters seem real and the story is tight!
I just watched The Union… Is Bake and Bake and it’s little pothead mascot based on Watermelon Girl, the host of Baked and Baking based in British Columbia?
And now I’ve reached the end of the current updates *sob*
Oh, the doldrums of new updates over the archives..
Whatever- I can’t wait to see where all this goes. I absolutely love this comic. Everything is so real and well-done!
Christ, that was sad for me.
I’ve just been through almost that same situation, and am trying like hell to avoid the same outcome. It’s good to know that these things can happen to other people, even if they’re stapled to a webcomic.
Thanks Meredith; you always do fantastic work.
More webcomic cross-pollination: beside the Dresden Codak vibe a few pages back, helpless Eve in Hanna’s arms feels very Hark! A Vagrant. I think it’s something to do with the expressions. Beaton does a lot of clueless, vacant faces. Actually, Eve reminds me of the Shetland pony in this frame. ha ha
Oh man, I’m late to the party, aren’t I?
Read through the whole archive yesterday and today and now it seems like you haven’t updated in a while.
Well, I’ll wait.
Ahahaha I didn’t even realize about “Evark” ’till now. I was all like “Evark? What’s that?” Oh ahahaha I’m so dense about this comic sometimes. Anyway, I love this comic, and I can’t wait for the next update!
Did I mention that I love what you do?
No?
Well I do D:
I FRIKKIN LOVETH D:
I’m afraid to sound like the common commoner fanboy. That I am, but I am also a chap devoted to niceness. Your comic is oh-so-nice. Keep it up or I will be bored and keep it up because I say so and keep it up because it might getcha somewhere. I doubt that you’re not already there.
Amazing Comic, I read alllll the way through it today, then I took a nap and I was hanging out with the characters and all in all just having a very odd dream
Unfortuneatly it only reminds me how lonely I is XD!
Keep. Up. The. Amazing. Work.
This has been awesome to re-read over the past week-ish. I look forward to the next update. I agree with the earlier commentators, the progressions and shifts in the art all work out quite nicely together.
Hi, so I went to the comic con last week, and as soon as I got home I checked all the freebies I had and I saw you’r card, and I kinda liked it, so I spent the last 3 days, reading all of this story…and wow I really really liked it, all of it (: I can’t wait for more!!!
P.S. Evark, took me 5 secs to get it, and then i laughed
no problem, thank you for making this comic *-*
I’m showing it around everywere (: posting my favorite strips on facebook n_n!
I hope I see you next year and get you to make a skech for me and meet you in person *.*!

Are you drawing Eve a different way in profile? It’s really cute.
Actually, I do believe your style has changed a bit!
The comic’s style has definitely tightened up a lot (in a good way) since the early chapters, but still keeps up a great semi-cartoony feel.
the stories just get better and better every time you update. As does the art style. Stuff like this makes it worth the wait

And I LOL’d at “Mr. Lasik”.
i like mr. laser/yoga/lasik/ Jon, but he seemed kinda mean when he first appeared
Last panel Eve looks like a cat who has just given up all hope in the arms of a hyper child.
I lol’ed.

Half-set of gams! *snerk* Oh man, that’s good stuff.

My fav character is Marek.
EVARK? bwahahahaa.a…a.a.
It took me a minute to get what he meant. lol
I prefer “Pave,” personally.
i dont understand. someone clarify
Like Brangelina
Or Bennifer?
A mix between the couple’s name…
I was thinkig about it but I’d prefer…. Pareve
Hee! That hug does not look very boob-friendly.
Or perhaps too boob friendly.
I just watched The Union… Is Bake and Bake and it’s little pothead mascot based on Watermelon Girl, the host of Baked and Baking based in British Columbia?
lol @ boob friendly hug.
no hug should ever be boob friendly when it comes (or cums) to girl on girl :p
Is this the end of the Comic? Or do you update once a month now?
I’m confused
And i miss the adventures of Eve!
I love you, Meredith Gran.
And now I’ve reached the end of the current updates *sob*
Oh, the doldrums of new updates over the archives..
Whatever- I can’t wait to see where all this goes. I absolutely love this comic. Everything is so real and well-done!
I love this! Read the whole thing in a day
When does it update?
It updates whenever a new story is finished. The next one will probably be in mid-June. Thanks for reading!
Christ, that was sad for me.

If it weren’t for that bottom right panel this would oddly enough be a great ending point.

Just read your complete archive in two days. Fantastic comic. Keep ‘em coming!
So, just read through all of octopus pie from the begining. Now have a new webcomic to love, not that I needed another. But this is AWESOME.
Did I mention that I love what you do?
No?

I click on my bookmark for OP every day, crossing my fingers that something new is up. Can’t wait for the story to continue!

Evark is krave backwards.
Now I feel stupid for writing that I read through the archives. Everybody does that.
This has been awesome to re-read over the past week-ish. I look forward to the next update. I agree with the earlier commentators, the progressions and shifts in the art all work out quite nicely together.
need….update….to…survive….
Quite the comic… funny enough I began reading it while I was in brooklyn for about a month and a half. Good stuff, can’t wait to see more, good work!
Awesome comic, read the whole thing in a day. Look forward to the new storyline.

I hope I see you next year and get you to make a skech for me and meet you in person *.*!
“latest comic” links to number 347
Maybe because it wasn’t a part of the new arrangement she made?
Like it was a singled out strip, rather than part of a group of them (:
That makes sense. just wanted to give her heads up
