El Goonish Shive is a web comic by Dan Shive, launched on January 21, 2002, that mainly depicts the lives of a group of friends in their junior year of high school. Said lives contain transformation guns, alternate universes and a shape-shifting half-squirrel girl. It should be noted that EGS is not a simple gag strip; the characters are fairly complex and believeable despite existing in a setting where women can use Hammerspace.
El Goonish Shive does not have much of a status quo. Storylines are most often long and convoluted and rarely result in anything returning to the way it once was. The storytelling of The Matrix makes dodging bullets perfectly sensible; the storytelling of EGS does the same to the scream "I'M TOO YOUNG AND TOO MALE TO BE THE MOTHER OF A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD FEMALE ME!!"
Fans of the comic are styled bunnies for lack of a better name. According to Dan, soon after the comic launched and began to gather fans, the forums teemed with one question: "By what shall we call ourselves?" Dan had no clue, and picked the first thing that came to mind: bunnies. A related filler comic can be found here: [1] Judging from the comic's forums, the average bunny is thoughtful, tolerant and rather strange.
