[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Zherog]

I always marvel at how expressive stick figure facial expressions can be...

[Whammydill]

Once again V's familiar is the only one with a clue it seems.

[Eldan]

This made me smile.

[Squark]

Oooh, I decided to check on the off chance, and sure enough, new comic!


I LOVE Haley and Elan's conversation. Beautiful facial expressions there, Giant.

[Betropper]

[Fayd]

Giant, what a wonderful juxtaposition of expressions and conversation.

Also, something bad/stupid is about to happen, isn't it?

[pedrosette]

Now, that's a bit of a cliffhanger. Did or did not Elan told Haley about Tyrinaria?

[Tundar]

Hahahaha, talking about failing a spot check. And talk about cake!

Btw, where did that bow of Haley's in panel 6 come from?

[Grogmir]

Love it! So many questions.

What conversation? Will V make the Bluff Check? Why did blackwing fly away on the third to last???

Tier Envy.

And Haley and Elan - at the back while D says about hearing things twice. Very good.



(And dare I even dream at being?)

[Askenada]

Errr, why does Blackwing fly away with Elan and Haley in panel 6, but in 7 and 8 he's still there on V's shoulder?

[blackjack217]

the cake is a lie

[Ganurath]

I for one liked the lampshade hanging in Panel 4.

[dogfish44]

Errr, why does Blackwing fly away with Elan and Haley in panel 6, but in 7 and 8 he's still there on V's shoulder?

I think it only has a quick look at what they're doing - never shows it go further and leave the comic.

Thanks for putting this one up ^_^.

[Nu]

Heh, the part about "tier envy" made me chuckle.

[Asthix]

As if it is OUR fault for their picking a class not capable of doing everything!
Nice.

[Merellis]

That must be some cake. o:

Also enjoying the fact they're having such simple discussions, even with all three being rather different in personality and alignment. :3

[FoE]

I'm guessing that they're running off to the dungeons.

[Kaed]

I pretty much filled in what was being talked about mentally as I watched Haley and Elan. Not in so much words as topics.

Panel 1: Elan: Aaaah Haley my dad is EVIL D:

Panel 2: Elan: *starts tripping over his words and trying to explain*
Haley: Calm down Elan, what happened?

Panel 3: Elan: *starts explaining the start of the chat with his dad*

Panel 4: Elan: *mentions what happened to the freed slaves*

Panel 5: Elan: *mentions what happened to Ian and Tyranaria*

Panel 6: Haley: We're going to do something about this.

[Grendus]

Gotta love tier envy. The irony is, of course, that neither Durkon nor V play like a tier 1. V is a blaster wizard and Durkon is a healbot cleric, both tier 2-3 easily. Though I guess in a party with an unoptimized bard, a half-optimized rogue, a fairly optimized (but horribly underpowered) fighter, and a ranger "with a wisdom score normally reserved for lemmings", even being a blaster wizard puts you at the top of the food chain.

Cake? What cake?

[pkitty]

A well-timed comic. After Tarquin and Elean's fight and all of the drama that erupted, we need to take a strip just to catch our breath. The nice, homey conversation in the foreground takes care of that -- even while the serious, frantic conversation in the background prevents the storyline from losing too much tension. A simple strip by itself, but it's just the right note we need in the storyline right now.

[Mecharious]

Now about that cake...

[Porthos]

It really is shame that none of them can make a Listen Check worth a damn.

[Saph]

Great pacing. Drama last comic, then Haley's reaction . . . all with a silly conversation over the top of it.

[HUMVEE Driver]

First of all, that's taking a page out of Thor's book!

Also, I wonder if in panel #5 he should have said 'worst'.

[Porthos]

"As if it is OUR fault that they chose a class not capable of doing everything."

Aye. Everything, but apparently be aware of what is going on around you.

[Mando Knight]

I like how we get only parts of the three foreground characters' conversation. Including the bits of meta-humor.

[Forum Explorer]

Just a brilliant comic.


So much good stuff in it. I wonder if those three will just be hanging out while Tarquin fights Haley.

Oh yeah I'm guessing that Tarquin fighting Haley is the next comic.

[Lycan 01]

I love Malak. Even if he's "evil" he's a likable guy. Lots of depth and personality... I'm surprised V didn't respond to the whole "special bond" thing with adoption. Though I guess we can assume that's where the conversation led...
