The dice seem determined to keep Bea from freaking out. Good dice! Now, I wonder what the nice giraffe wants to talk about?

Holy crap! Evil giraffes! Keep it together or freak out? Roll a six-sided dice and post the result to the comments thread or tweet it to @merlism. Rolls will be tallied on Thursday and the result shown on Friday.
4. The Neck Area
The dice argued for subtly. But who are these mysteriously necked out-of-towners? Find out on Tuesday!
3. Existential
To direct Beatrice’s line of questioning, roll a six-sided dice and post the result in the comments thread or tweet it to @merlism. Rolls will be tallied on Thursday and the result shown in Friday’s strip.
2. Hurrying Along
The dice demanded politeness (which is always a good idea when dealing with elephants). Tune in on Tuesday for the next dice roll!

Dice With A Redesign
Hey look, it’s E-merl 8.0! Everything’s gone a bit wider and more colourful, hasn’t it? And what’s that? Why, it appears to be brand new, twice-weekly webcomic serial, Dice With The Universe. Picking up the baton from the recently completed MASIVO, Dice will be updating every Tuesday and Friday. But unlike… well, just about every serial I’ve done before, Dice will need you (yes, you!) to take a hand in determining what transpires each week.
Meanwhile in other news… there is no other news I can tell you. Yet. While it looks like I’ve got a very exciting and rather busy 2014 ahead of me, I’ve been thoroughly sworn to secrecy about the lot of it. So! Vague hints it is! In the year to come look out for a second webcomic serial to debut at E-merl, a new comics installation to be exhibited somewhere in London, a discussion panel 12 years in the making and the announcement of a major new digital comics research project. Comics! Excitement! Vagueness! Yay!
Dice With The Universe
Dice With The Universe is E-merl’s new webcomic serial, appearing live on the web every Tuesday and Friday. Unlike previous series, the comic is designed around direct audience participation. To interact with the comic you’ll need to secure a standard issue six-sided dice and then locate a safe surface to roll it on. The first episode of Dice goes live on Tuesday 18th February. To ensure correct series operation, please initiate a test-roll of your dice now. The result of your test-roll can be posted in the comments thread, or tweeted directly to @merlism.
Coming Soon
New series coming soon! Meanwhile, site updating still in the works. Stay tuned!
142. The End
And so that was Masivo – hope y’all enjoyed it. Coming soonish to E-merl: Something Completely Different.
