[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[theinsulabot]

heh, funny, bird-that-miss-starshine-named, master of disguise!

[FerhagoRosewood]

Sombrero wearing bird. Well that's a new one.

But a nice insight to V. Thanks for the new regular posts, Giant.

^.^

[Cicciograna]

Is Inkyrius the name of V's mate?
I admire Blackwing good sense.

[Rustic Dude]

Well played, Blackwing, well played.

[Tyrael]

Awww. Poor V, giving up hir entire marriage for the sake of the quest....I hope V and Inkyrius (what kind of name is that?) get back together at the end.

[Jaxon]

Aw. I hope V gets a chance to make up with Inkyrius.

[jolus]

I hate it when such things happen. Poor V. I somehow hope for a happy ending.

[Rhydeble]

hurray for baubles!

[JeminiZero]

Panel 4: Excellent I shall eat in the library, then, to take best advantage of the silence.

Having seen some very chatterish kids in my time, I can appreciate the sentiment of wanting silence.

On the other hand, V could have simply bought some item of silence.

[AxeD]

I hope V will send a message (via sending) to his/her mate to explain why and to apologise. If V only signs the form, his/her family may construe that as he/she not caring about them

[David Argall]

Well, those of us arguing that the divorce was based on normal issues, not the earth-shaking events, seem to have won a point or two here.

This does close out one way to get the party involved with the previous generation, but perhaps that would have been too much complication anyway.

A possibility...

Spoiler

Show

V will get involved with our two street kids as a substitute for the kids she has lost.

[Mirrinus]

And Vaarsuvius continues to prove that V really has developed as a character.

Blackwing has been pretty chatty as of late, I guess.

[Hatchet]

V did the right thing. I feel sorry for him/her, but I totally agree with his/her decision.

I keep liking Blackwing more and more with every strip

[_Zoot_]

"And one bauble" Nice!

[Pheldagriff]

I was surprised that Blackwing didn't buy a dangly thing, too

[nonbeliever93]

I love that we're getting further development on V's character. Blackwing and his insight into V is brilliant. He's shaping up to be a great team member.

[Kobold-Bard]

Awww, so sad

But I have to admit I cracked up over the last panel

[thubby]

i have to wonder, could V contest the divorce even if he wanted to?

anyhow, it's a somewhat noble gesture, though i have to wonder what his kids will think of all this.

[bue52]

Its soooo sad, though at the same time, V is being very wise....... I don't see how (s)he can simply give up just like that . At least cast some sending spells or something, if (s)he just explain, then maybe just maybe.

[Selene]

V, no! Fight for your love just like you said you would!

[Turkish Delight]

Can't say V's decision is unexpected. The story can't exactly run off to Elf land for a long, tiring divorce trial, after all.

Ahhh, V. To save his family, he ended up losing it. Here's to hoping he can set things to right somewhat when the world has been saved and all...assuming he doesn't die horrifically, of course.

[talkamancer]

He'll still blow up when prompted though

[Waggy]

Great comic, I laughed at the last panal quite a bit.

Poor V, I hope it works out for him. Putting the his family and the fate of the world before himself should hopefully redeem him in some peoples eyes.

[lothos]

Nice Comic. I liked the last panel so much... a false moustache on a raven... awesome !

That really makes me wonder what comes in a disguise kit :-)

[danielmayer]

romantic dinner with a burger? or are they kind of cake?
The disguised blackwing is priceless.
Most excellent again!

[RMS Oceanic]

Hmm, Mood Whiplash, but the good kind!

This is the noblest thing V could have done. I only hope (s)he takes the time to explain h**self to h** family at some point.

[Tallahassee]

(what kind of name is that?)

Vaarsuvius and Inkyrius. I think they fit rather well.

[warmachine]

I think this is the best evidence so far that Vaarsuvius is male. Men are more likely to be oblivious when their mate is making an effort.

[Killer Angel]

Poor V.
You are so reasonable when not provocked or under stress...
(but seriously: do you have to learn wisdom from a bird? )

NOTE: you're a friggin' wizard. Do you really need to stay alone, for having some silence?
