Ah, memories ...

I...don't know what to say.

I thought I remembered the worst excesses of the 1980s. I see that I was mistaken.

It's a music genre from Louisiana.  Quite fun to listen and dance to (if you know how to dance, which I don't)

Well, the 'roo was actually the mascot of the TV show, Känguru. Leinemann is a band with quite a long history, the song a cover of Rockin’ Sidney's (Don’t Mess With) My Toot Toot, and I'ld wager a guess that the rest of the getup was heavily inspired by the contemporary NDW. Large parts of which, apart from taking the shape of identifiable (and reproducible) pop songs, bordered on wanton dadaism ...

Hi. I'm new here on a friend's recommendation that I enlist.  :))

This is definitely the first fan forum for a webcomic I have joined, and probably the first forum I plan to take seriously.;D
I say plan,  :-\ but New Year's Resolutions stuff be that.

I am excited to read a new webcomic from scratch. It's been awhile *cracks knuckles* I have a super brief synopsis that I am operating under (the best kind). I hope to keep track of my progress on here so that people can vicariously re-unre-read. Of course, if it stings that you can't be enjoying SSSS for the first time same as me, then avoid my posts, please :) I don't want to cause harm. O:-) I mention this because I recently told a friend I was jealous that they hadn't been spoiled (much) for things like Harry Potter and Star Wars.  :-X

I have looked at the first page and I think the art is amazing so far. The details please me. So, thanks for the opportunity to share something new with new friends :D. I look forward to discussing things with you! orz

Welcome to the forum kinaba! And wow, it's really cool that you're diving in here right as you start reading the comic! Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us do (I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty much obsessed.) I look forward to hearing how you like it. :)

(Also, I'm sure you can guess this, but the forum is pretty spoiler-laden if you haven't read the whole comic yet. So tread carefully!)

Hello,  I'm  aogera, queen of brevity. Living in s. Africa. I dropped a picture by the art gallery and was recommended to come here and say hey!

Ssss,  for me, is that moment in my day where I get a cup of tea and breath.

Hey everyone, I've been reading SSSS for a while but only found out about the forum a few days ago.

Long and short, the comic started me on learning Norwegian because who doesn't want to be an awesome troll slayer person like Sigrun? And then I came across ARtD and the fact that it's in Finnish as well just meant I had another language to learn. Also, I'm studying Engineering so the wildly varying levels of tech and recovering lost knowledge has me geeking out pretty hard.

I'm hoping to just dive in to this whole thing, never really been active in a forum before.

Should I tell you all of us who had begun by saying they were shy/not so active/something like that are today (very) active members ? ::)
