Trixie Slaughteraxe

The graphics are horrible, but I'm quite liking the jokes, and there is a lot of action.

Oh, you're the Accidental Space Spy guy? This is your new comic?

People, listen to me. The graphic might be nothing to look at, but most of this guy's comics are pure gold.

If you can stomach the seemingly unassuming graphic (if you're used to old-school adventure game you can do it) you can find amazing story behind most if not all of them.

You can check his other comics in... well, "other comics" links, but what I can personally recommend for starter is...

http://lies.thecomicseries.com/ Lies, Sisters, and Wives.

I think it's his shortest (only 34 pages) but you can see his style of storytelling there. It's also the one with the most... mundane premise (in some meaning of mundane anyway) and all of his other stories are way, way, way less mundane.

... It's like someone took every light comedy theater ever made and distilled it in a single comic. I'm impressed.

glad I saw this. I'd read transdimensional brain chip and I didn't realize you'd done other things.

Only "most"? I love them all. :smallsmile:

So far: Trixie Slaughterhouse and her new crew try to rob an old castle. They find a number of monsters, fanatical guard and one less fanatical but also short-lived sergeant.
Pacifist magic sucks. At least he can try to learn new spells from the pacifist school. Or is he bared from all pacifist magic?

Question if you hurt your hand by punching one of his force walls would that have counted too?

I still maintain that Hitmen for Destiny is Thorsby's most brilliant work.

YOU'RE the hitmen for destiny guy? Awesome. Love your work!

[Thorsby]

Thanks, folks.

I don't know if the questions about magic was aimed at me, but if so i don't wanna answer stuff that might spoil future strips.

Next arc it seems. (http://trixie.webcomic.ws/comics/53/) We meet Betty Wolfwrestler. A apparently completely sane person.
I just reread parts of the comic and noticed the names. Slaughteraxe, Painatorium, Wolfwrestler, Gravescreams, the nation of Diabolica with the capital of Abyssium. I wonder if that country used to be the evil one.
In hindsight (http://trixie.webcomic.ws/comics/30/), the royalty seemed to have serious incest problems. Princess Imogen was blind and legless, princess Gemma was afraid of water and had people executed for sweating. We have nothing on princess Saffron, though. And queen Petronela saw the need to put he most loyal guards in time stop capsules. WHich may have been a problem later when she needed them against the revolutionaries.

Also: we want to guess and puzzle, so no spoilers is fine.

Last comic (http://trixie.thecomicseries.com/comics/59/) we learn that someone with the name Hank Genocide may not be a trustworthy person.

A few notes about the one before (http://trixie.thecomicseries.com/comics/58/).
The evil themed names continue, but not for the non-human creature, it has a different language.
I wonder what the magpie with the red star stands for. It seems to steal it. Maybe it refers to the proverbial lucky star (http://trixie.thecomicseries.com/comics/2/) Audrey mentions? But I'm reaching.
The national flag seems to be a soldier with the head of the old queen. I guess that means we know how they got rid of the monarchy. Probably not all guards were okay with being put into little crystals. And I think that the queen inadvertently got rid of her most loyal guards.
Another thing I note is the difference between the tone between the president and her councillor. The president is pretty obscene, similar to Audrey. So coursing seems to be an accepted way of speaking, or people form lower classes can reach high offices.
