I've been getting that too! Glad it's not just me.

Edit: Wait, it's fixed. It was just a temporary problem but keep a look out for more like that.

Hi! I cut the recent discussion about Ensi and strength in magic into a separate thread about SSSS magic here:  https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1188.0

Is anyone besides me getting a 404 error for the comic as a whole?

I can see it.

Also, that Surma sure is terrifying. I wonder if it can see though.

In terms of design? It was weird to find out that Surma just looks like a pretty lanky human with sharp claws and no head. But I guess having such a thing chase you is different.

It probably senses you somehow. No sight needed when you're on multiple planes of existence.

It’s largely human-shaped yes, but it’s humongous in size! I’m sure that adds to the... interest, when you know it’s after you.

@JoB also made the interesting point on Disqus, that if it really lacks eyes as seems to be the case, could this mean the Kade can’t take control over it? I have a feeling we may yet learn this!

Reinforced concrete where its head should be??  O_o

I just don't know what to make of this one. How did it even end up with concrete on... in... instead of its head? And how is it so BIG?  O_O

Answers will be forthcoming, I hope!

Interesting point by JoB, re no eyes thus no kade control. I hadn't even considered the possibility, figuring that anything trollified would have so little self left that it wouldn't be susceptible to the kade, but I suppose... kind of a sobering possibility, actually.

My current theory on Surma's head: At some point during the early process of this person's trollification, someone tried to kill them by smashing their head in. It didn't quite kill them and Surma ended up developing into a full troll around that chunk, incorporating it into the new form. Either that or it was just in a very unfortunate position when a large piece of rubble fell on them, to the same effect.

I do hope we have a chance to find out for sure although I don't know how likely that is. After 90+ years, I don't think we're getting a "Surma POV on How This Happened."

I really like the idea that the kade can't take it over because it lacks eyes.
It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

FYI, page 436 went up, author comment and all, but has apparently been entirely removed - first the image, now the author comment - again. :-? Only the starting Disqus comments remain ... for now. (Yes, the image file is gone from the directory, not just inaccessible somehow.)

It was Hivework's fault, she posted an explanation. Whew!

Was? I’m still not getting 436? Or do you mean the previous one?

Minna posted on page 435:

Update: the new page was posted (you're not crazy if you saw it), but Hiveworks started a server move/upgrade right after so the page vanished. I'll repost it once they've finished everything and give me the new FTP password and stuff.

So it's all ok we just need to wait. :)

Spoiler: show
As somebody in the comments pointed out, it's a triple cliffhanger - one group trapped with Surma, Onni getting splooshed in the dreamworld, and the pantry with the non-immunes (and Lalli) at risk of being over-run by all those trolls (we assume).
