Gentlebeings, I would like to introduce Stephanie Mackenzie, aka "Mack".

She and the rest of the Unwanted are very important to Ghoul. We will learn more about this very soon...

Related Comics:
* First appearance of Mack (and this stretch of subway tunnels)
* Pogo "saved my fucking life"

Don't forget, if you think we're doing a good job (or just want to get an EXCLUSIVE look at what's to come), vote for Autumn Bay at Top Webcomics.

Aw, she looks like such a delicate flower in that group photo!

Look closer and you'll see what's ACTUALLY sprouting (a finger... the middle one...)

WHO is that absolute NERD on the FAR LEFT

Professor Etheric 24th Nov 2015, 11:24 PM

That is Elliot Morgan, aka "Geek".

And yes, he IS an absolute nerd. :)

Taily 24th Nov 2015, 11:34 PM

Yessss. Can't wait to meet him (and the others).

In the meantime, enjoy some quality entertainment!

Oh, and Tali/Taily: we WILL be meeting them. :)

Awww, how cute, they have a pet nerd! ^^

He's not a pet... :P

Y-you mean he's FERAL?

Nope. Free-range! XD

I feel I like these people already. Even though I don't actually know anything about them...

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:26 AM

I'm glad of that. To be honest, they're good people. A bit rough around the edges sometimes (most of them are punks), but good.

The cast is quickly expanding!

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:28 AM

This is Autumn Bay. The cast expands faster than the universe!

(Not really, of course, but it is ACTUALLY important to show this group.)

SarahSophia 25th Nov 2015, 11:04 AM

Most of the characters in the Unwanted have been around for quite a while (since 2003 at least), so they've gone through many many revisions. The exceptions are Yuri (far right), and Wendy (not pictured because she's holding the camera).

Everyone's hair is so fabulous. I love it.

Stever 25th Nov 2015, 8:02 AM

I agree, I really like Mack's hair.

Maybe at some time in the future you'll get her whole story. ;D

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:31 AM

Thanks, Stever!

Perhaps, in the future, we will. Or maybe we won't. It's hard to tell the future! :P

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:30 AM

Thanks, Clanjack! I try to vary the designs and such, and hope they appeal. And each of these people should, hopefully, show a bit of their personality here.

The one in the middle looks familiar--younger, but familiar.....

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:33 AM

I fear you may be thinking he is someone different. That's Midnight, and though he was in the original version, it was only for like 2 panels.

If you are thinking of Vincent... just wait... ly.

Why do I wan't to call these people a kingdom of outcasts?

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:39 AM

You are very frightening in your insights, Tom. You'll see why I say this next update (when Ghoul says what the Unwanted are...)

SarahSophia 25th Nov 2015, 10:47 AM

In the link to Mack's cameo: I totally didn't see Frank there before!

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 10:48 AM

Because he's, like, a spy or something?

melaredblu 25th Nov 2015, 11:25 AM

This guys gives AVGN a run for his money on swearing. Does he know any other adjectives?

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 11:35 AM

He does, but the f-bomb is his default weapon of mass destructive language... or something.

That sounded a lot cooler in my head.

Seabiscuit 25th Nov 2015, 1:07 PM

Hey, we wanna know the story!:P
Aw, the photo :D
Hey! I see a familiar name on the walls... ;)

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 2:43 PM

Well, if and when the time comes for the story to be told, it will.

Yes, that photo! It's WAY more important in this version!

I don't know what you're *cough Nesariel cough* talking about... ;)

NeilKapit 25th Nov 2015, 10:44 PM

"The Unwanted" is also a great band name, and not nearly as unwieldy as most potentially great band names

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 11:06 PM

It really would be a great band name.

I hope some of the already seen Autumn Bay band names are as good.

edit delete reply

SarahSophia 25th Nov 2015, 11:29 PM

A lot of great bands are from Autumn Bay. My favorite is prolly RGSM (Rube Goldberg Sex Machine). They have an album called "Orgasm without the "Ooos" and "Ahhs". I also like a band called "The Diesel Chair", but I'm in to industrial.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 25th Nov 2015, 11:32 PM

I'm personally fond of industrial-tinged folk-punk like Urban Decay, or gothic power metal like Stormbringer... :P

edit delete reply

lirvilas 26th Nov 2015, 7:05 AM

"gothic power metal like Stormbringer"

No reactionary right-wing connections there, nosir.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 26th Nov 2015, 10:23 AM

Nope. Stormbringer being the name of the black blade that devours souls in the Elric novels by Michael Moorcock, gothic things typically being more left aligned, and power metal being neutral... Nope. :P

So . . . Funny thing. I was following this comic on my phone, but somehow it got crossed with my dimension-jumper ap and I sort of butt-dialed myself here. But at least I get to tell you 'in-person' how wonderful I think this is. Keep going! I'll be placing my vote as 'bestest web-comic in the universe!'

Professor Etheric 26th Nov 2015, 12:50 PM

Huh. Good to see ya! It's been a while!

I've been grinning like a winning villain from the second I saw this. I've missed you guys soooo much it's like my heart has been eating super sour lemon drops!

SarahSophia 26th Nov 2015, 3:48 PM

We've missed you as well. I'm honestly pretty floored right now, but I always knew you'd eventually stumble upon this.

Audacity 26th Nov 2015, 3:53 PM

Hey, we all knew Autumn Bay was a magical place. I got here through pure, random chance, which to me says 'this is exactly where you should be'. Autumn Bay is like that.

edit delete reply

Audacity 26th Nov 2015, 3:57 PM

Besides, you can't title any Autumn Bay episode 'Something Seriously Major is Going On' without having something seriously major go on.

edit delete reply

Professor Etheric 26th Nov 2015, 4:38 PM

It is SERIOUSLY good to hear from you. I'm glad you found this, and that you're enjoying it, all things considered! :D

Random chance? Wow. That IS magical. And yes, as usual, something seriously maor is going on in Autumn Bay... :P

Audacity 26th Nov 2015, 5:14 PM

And can I just say that Geek, Ghoul, Chi-uh I mean Mack, Pogo and Midnight look terrific! And if that redhead in the back is who I *think* it is, HE'S WEARING MY SHIRT!
I really can't wait to meet Yuri and Wendy-Not-Pictured.
I loved the subway stuff and Benny! I love Benny! And Nesariel, well, I'm guessing he's the reason I'm here.
Ahh, seeing all of this makes me feel like I'm at home . . . oh wait.

Professor Etheric 26th Nov 2015, 5:25 PM

That's EXACTLY who you think it is. :)

And yeah, Nessie's always right around the corner... :P
