Summary[]

In the first strip Dan noted that there are two unrelated anime shows called Little Witch Academia and My Hero Academia and declared that he was going to follow that trend by renaming his comic "El Goonish Academia".[1]

In the second strip Noah told Elliot that he had come up with a sport based on baseball where the pitcher and the batter work together to hit targets.[2]

In the third strip Tedd asked Susan if she had any objections to a fighting game where the villain kidnapped women to make them fight in skimpy outfits. Susan had no objection when she was just told that it's a sexy fighting game but when she heard the full premise she became uncomfortable.[3]

In the fourth strip Justin told George about a comic whose selling point was to bring back the good old days of having no social agenda. George pointed out that this selling point is a social agenda, which made the comic vanish from the contradiction.[4]

In the fifth strip Dan learned that Patreon had made his account eighteen plus only for reasons that they didn't reveal. Grace took this to mean that she was allowed to be naked, which made her happy.[5] Then Dan learned that the eighteen plus flag had been overturned and, anxious about that happening again, put winter clothing on Grace.[6]

In the seventh strip Grace told Sarah that she was sad that she didn't find her favorite let's play channel funny enough to subscribe but she still watched it.[7]

In the eighth strip the superheroine Spider Grace reported to Sarah (who was apparently a policewoman) that she had trapped several criminals in webs and left them in various inaccessible places.[8] In the next strip newspaper editor Rich, who was suspicious of Spider Grace, ordered his reporters to photograph her and the reporter Grace gave him photos. He didn't suspect her of being Spider Grace even though she was named Grace and had six arms.[9]

In the tenth strip Dan and Minion talked about Dan having bimbo characters use the word "like" and yet use the word in the same way herself. During the conversation Dan drank tea that made her bustier and her clothes skimpier (like in Assorted 2015 03).[10] In the eleventh strip Elliot asked Tedd if there is a male equivalent of the word "bimbo" and Tedd answered that it originally referred to men. They drank teas that made them skimpily clothed.[11] In the twelfth strip Susan bought magical tea to make her bubbly.[12] Then she worked at Tensaided's video rental store under the influence of the tea and ran with a cart.[13] Mr. Tensaided told her to be careful with the cart but had no objection to Susan being transformed.[14]

In the fifteenth strip Ashley and Liz talked about using a barrel for stealth in video games. Ashley said that it's somewhat realistic that the guards fail to notice the barrel showing up because of change blindness.[15]

In the sixteenth strip Spider Grace was fighting criminals who complained about her reusing quips.[16]

In the seventeenth and last strip Dan was concerned about making too suggestive comics and then saw that a ship had left its wharf, symbolizing that there have been suggestive comics before.[17]
