Ep. 26 – Grace' Trauma (w/ fractal)

Moperville Monthly ·

2022/06/16

El Goonish Shive is intrinsically hopeful, and that makes its representation of trauma and healing particularly compelling. Grace was a well-written victim of abuse right from the very start, and watching her grow and develop as the webcomic evolved has been extremely meaningful for us. Listen to fractal and I talk in-detail about Grace' trauma and the way she is recovering from it. fractal also speaks about its own trauma, about the genuine anxiety for psychiatrists, about the importance of

Ep. 25 – Catnipping (w/ Fox)

Moperville Monthly ·

2022/05/01

"Catnip" is one of my favorite little El Goonish Shive arcs. Released all the way back in 2002, it sets up the relationship between Grace and Tedd in the only way it could: with gratuitous furry transformation sequences! Fox and I decided to discuss this little storyline in depth, and the results are a lot of fun. Of course, we also talk about recent updates as Elliot almost killed a Griffin, and we hit a lot of sidetracks regarding Grace' backstory, Tedd's seer status, and more! Catnip:

Ep. 22 – Star Trek–Friends Crossover (w/ Trekie140)

Moperville Monthly ·

2022/01/31

Two Star Trek-obsessed peeps get an opportunity to ramble about our favorite sci-fi franchise for an hour and a half. It took us 22 minutes before we even mentioned El Goonish Shive. Do prepare for a lot of gushing about random Voyager episodes, but we do actually get to talk about how El Goonish Shive's story structure and character arcs were inspired by Star Trek. As well as Friends. You can watch Star Trek: The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager on Netflix. The

Moperville Monthly ·

2021/11/28

Foxes and I talk about our experiences with Star Trek (mainly The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager), and contrast and compare it with El Goonish Shive. We also got the chance to talk about half a year worth of updates! And somehow we also end up talking about the Chikasaw Nation and about how the Spanish burned all Aztec and Maya books.

Ep. 19 – There's a Name For It (w/ fractal)

Moperville Monthly ·

2021/05/16

"Egg" is a term trans people use to refer to themselves before they realized they were trans. We strongly advice against taking a drink every time we use the word "egg" in this episode. Join fractal and I as we discuss the history of El Goonish Shive's queer themes. What is it like for transgender and non-binary people to read EGS and why does it so perfectly reflect our own experiences? How did Dan handle gay and gender-nonconforming characters from the start? How does this webcomic address the

Ep. 18 – Everyone in EGS Needs Therapy (w/ZeeMcZed)

Moperville Monthly ·

2021/03/25

Sit down on your armchair and get ready to do some psychology. Our extraordinary fanfic author ZeeMcZed explains to us why every character in El Goonish Shive needs therapy. It's like eight episodes in one! Get ready to hear about all the traumas and coping mechanisms. Is psychoanalyzing fictional characters like this healthy? I don't know, but we did it anyway. We also talk about Zee's "which EGS character are you?" quiz and their new Pokémon fanfic! Zee on Patreon: https://Patreon.com/Zeemczed

Join Zen and I as we talk about the 2015 arc So A Date At The Mall (SADATM). The ultimate Valentine's Day storyarc, showing us Ashley & Elliot and Tara & Andrea lovin' it up. And of course the mystery teens were there too! Lots of fun to talk about here. We also discussed recent updates, such as the conclusion of Parable and the start of a new Q&A-esque thing.

Ep. 16 – Dan Shive and Miss Mab's Furry Adventures...

Moperville Monthly ·

2021/01/18

Xepharon joins us once again, this time to talk about the popular furry adventure webcomic DMFA! Once again, we speak for way too long, but there's just so much to say about Amber Williams' long-running webcomic. Never read it? Don't fret, we try to explain it all! The issue is that there's quite a bit of lore to go through here, so... sit tight, put on your seatbelt, and let's have some furry fun :) Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_001.php More information at

Ep. 15 – Santa Ellen Keeps on Givin' (w/ Trekie140)

Moperville Monthly ·

2020/12/18

Dan wound up associating Ellen Dunkel with Christmas more than any of the other characters, so our Christmas-tree-colored-haired friend seemed like the perfect subject for our 15th episode! Trekie140 joins us once again to talk about one of El Goonish Shive's most lovable instigator. Ellen changed the webcomic and made it what it is today. How did she do that? In large part, just by unabashed existing. Much like Elliot, we have a lot to learn from Ellen. Over 30 years of life experience does that

Not a Date at the Magic Comic Book Shop (w/ Viatrix)

Moperville Monthly ·

2020/11/21

You may have forgotten about them, but "Magic Comic Shop" (no books!) and "Not a Date at the Mall" are really great little NP arcs exploring the relationship between Justin, Ellen, and Nanase, before the latter two properly hooked up. Viatrix and I are not really gonna talk about any of that. No, listen to us ramble about all of the minor silly jokes that popped up in these arcs, and then sing our way through the rest. Hope you enjoy! Viatrix' blog: https://mincerafter42.wordpress.com More

Ep. 13 – Spooky Scary Misogyny (w/ Tristan)

Moperville Monthly ·

2020/11/01

The breaktime music ("The Summoning Circle" by Hassan DuRant) is pretty scary. Content warning? For Halloween, Tristan and I discuss Ellen "Magus", one of El Goonish Shive oldest "villains". If you can call him that. We talk about the world he is from, his storyline up to Sister 3, and all sorts of tangents related to him. Also recent Freaky Friday updates and some random meows.

Listen to excellent fanfic writer Laparoscopic discuss the wide world of fanfiction with me. From mimeograph Kirk/Spock fics in the 1970s to unlimited romantic triads today, we have come a long way. We also talk about the ultimate Freaky Friday situation and may help you keep track of who's who! Also listen to me get distracted and attacked by my cat. Agent of chaos right there.
