    YES! Go Mimic! Go Cube! Go guys who hang around in the Background! Don't die Maddie. Die slow and painful Grinner. I don't care about you giant smurfs. Now that Cube is free how long will our least favorite puppy last?

    New page.


    What exactly happened there? Did Maddie throw her Trident through Cube to hurt Grinner and damage the glove, allowing Cube to use the Trident in this fight? Did she throw it towards Cube and he stabbed Grinner? Did Cube pick the trident up? Either way an awesome update. Armed Cube is great. And grinning at the Gnoll of the same name.

    How evil would it be to use Cube as the inspiration for an encounter in a D&D game? Just for the look on the players faces when it suddenly moves from the other side of the room right in front of them. I think its evil enough to justify the throwing of heavy objects.

    New page. I almost could feel with Grinner. Almost, he deserves this to much to actually do so. I hope Cube takes his time with this. And that Maddie will be fine.
    Stabs, be patient. If Presti and Roxie help you now they will miss the show.

    Grinner, I really think you should try and surrender. That might be a bit less painful. You might even survive. But what you are trying there? I doubt it will work.

    Grinner is dealt with for now. But while it would fit the comic so far if he would return his last words make me think he won't come back. The punchline is amazing. I hope they keep him.

    New comic.

    Its time for the victory-party!
    But first we have to mourn for our favourite paladin... Never mind I'm sure Maddie will be resurrected as soon as possible. The background-action implies that Mimic's prediction about the sillyness being over is wrong. At least thats what I hope.

    If I can say this without being mean and in the spirit of friendly critique...

    The constant mood whiplash of the last several pages hasn't done it for me. Mood whiplash can work and can be effective, but the frequency with which you've used it lately undermines any of that potential effectiveness. I find this last page especially grievous... so much so that I found myself frustrated reading it.

    There are two whiplashes in five panels. By the time I'm adjusted to the first and become serious I'm being yanked around again and being told to laugh. It just happens too quickly for me to keep up with or appreciate. I think maybe if this single page were spread across two pages, then the pacing would be proper enough for the humor to work. I dunno. I realize that you're probably wanting this chapter done at this point, but this feels like too much too fast.

    I kind of wish that the characters did have some time to come to grips with Maddie's sacrifice, though. With Maddie dieing in the middle of the fight, no one really got a chance to absorb just what happened. It makes the immediate lampshade hanging on "DnD Death is Cheap" feel a bit awkward... and it kind of makes it look like Mimic is the only one who really cares. (Which is probably pretty close to the truth, but y'know.)

    Just my thoughts and opinions. I'm sure that other people have told you the exact opposite of what I just said. But I just figured I'd throw my $.02 out there for consideration.

    I think the second mood whiplash is there to tell us that Maddies death isn't a indication that the comic will become darker. It's like Elans prophecy in that regard.

    I realize that; I appreciate it. The zany adventures are what make the comic fun, so I'm glad to see that that won't be going away. I don't have any problem with what was done. It was just the manner in which it was done that didn't work for me.

    And... I just now realize that my above post was pointless. I only really looked at Rusty and Co. a few days ago and burned through the entire archive. Then I started working my way through this thread from the beginning (where Mike was more involved in the discussion). The last comic page went up and I found it disconcerting enough to provide my feedback in this thread thinking that Mike would see it. A quick skim proves that he hasn't posted in at least the past three pages and probably longer than that.

    So, yeah. Ignore that post. The person it was intended for will probably never see it.

    And our favourite Paladin is back. That didn't last long. So much for Mimic’s fear the story would get darker. Not that that was even remotely likely.

    Anyway, Maddie is back and she and Mimic have a really cute reunion. That means the chapter ends on a happy note. Next up is the intermission.

    Is it just me or does the cleric seem slightly confused about the fact that a monster visits an adventurer in the hospital?

    I just hope they won't overdo the baseball-speak. Otherwise this arc is going to be nearly incomprehensible. On the other hand watching our heroes play baseball could be fun.

    The people the elf Roxanne is telling the story seem interesting. Is that some kind of monstrous retirement home? There seems to be a manticore granny among them.

    Aunt Edith says: Monster grannies yes. Retirement home no. A mahjong club. Eh, close enough.

    Now that is a great idea. Punishing violence with the opportunity to commit more violence. I can't see how tis might go wrong. I wonder how our heroes will get involved in this inevitable mess.
