[edit] Not sure about the characters

March 13, 2006 While Egea certainly looks like Gran from 9 Chickweed Lane, I still can't see Thorax within the Theseus role (glasses: yes; hair: no; size: yes; anything else? no). And I think that it's even more of a stretch to see Seth or Isabel as Demetrius or Hermia.

But you may be on to something. We'll see. BayBoy 03:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

The strip confirmed that Thorax played Theseus on March 9.[1] John M Baker 14:29, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pibgorn discontinued?

I just got an email from Comics.com, saying that Pibgorn was being discontinue tomorrow. Anybody know anything about this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Croberson (talk • contribs) 20:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC).

McEldowney has sent the following response to email queries:

With United Media's announcement that "Pibgorn" is to be discontinued, I have been inundated with e-mail, much of it agitated and distressed. I'm very sorry you had to get the news in this rather dispassionate way. That I may answer your central question forthwith, I've composed this response for everyone – so please forgive me if I seem impersonal.

"PIBGORN" WILL CONTINUE.

There. That is the main thing I wanted to say. Comics.com, however, will, as they have announced, no longer be the source. Nothing dramatic happened, really. I simply came to feel that the editorial needs of comcs.com and those of "Pibgorn" were becoming more and more divergent and incompatible. For this reason I asked to be released from my contract with United Media in order to secure a new online home for "Pibgorn." United Media most graciously, and reluctantly, agreed. In short order I hope to get Pib back up and flying.

Meanwhile, you have seen the most current installments of "Pibgorn." Hold that thought. We'll be back.

Thanks for posting the information. I'll keep checking back here to see where and when Pibgorn is back on the net.

I realize this is very significant, but does it need to be in the article 3 times?-jlp

[edit] I just added a link to McEldowney's LiveJournal

... which will track his progress in finding a new home for Pibgorn.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Crewth Small.jpg

Image:Crewth Small.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Plot Summaries Needed

January 7, 2008 Deleting the plot summaries and referencing them in a non-existent article diminishes the quality of this article. If the summaries need to be re-formatted for clarity, then let's do that rather than eliminating them altogether. Without them, the article is little more than a stub. ccdesan (talk) 02:17, 08 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for that, but since they were added all-at-once by a single author and comprise a great deal of text, cleaning up what's there is a monumental task. It's as though someone decided to build a house and instead just dumped a huge pile of lumber on the lot where the house was to be. I, for one, am not willing to go through all this stuff and format it properly. In my opinion it's better not to have the pile of lumber taking up space while we decide how to build the house. HiramShadraski (talk) 04:26, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The Story Arc section has been here for almost as long as I've been looking at this article, which was during the "Midsummer Nights Dream" sequence. But what possible reason could there be to delete a whole section, and replace it with a link to a non-existent article? Carlo (talk) 16:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I did not add the broken link. I deleted the massive text clot. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pibgorn_%28webcomic%29&diff=182253884&oldid=181568311 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pibgorn_%28webcomic%29&diff=next&oldid=182253884

Again, I fully agree that story arcs / summaries are a good idea, but they should take some sort of reasonable form. Perhaps the original author will rewrite them with paragraphs and other standard textual elements, or someone else will take up the challenge. Heck, if I can get to it this weekend, I'll start on it myself. HiramShadraski (talk) 18:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summaries Redux

Actually the summaries were added by several different people, but if you're concerned more about the formatting than their existence, I'm sure we can get them cleaned up and formatted properly. ccdesan (talk) 02:17, 08 January 2008 (UTC)

The text I'm referring to was added all at once. Again, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pibgorn_%28webcomic%29&diff=182253884&oldid=181568311

I'll see what I can do this weekend. HiramShadraski (talk) 23:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
