Strip #880 - Getting the Message

Dammit all, this comic takes all of my feels!

 

[Emrys]

Rich is such a fantastic story teller.

 

[North_Ranger]

Indeed he is. Plus, I think this is one of those strips that need to be shown to people who disparage his art. Stick figures or not, that one was a direct hit to the aforementioned feels.

As opposed to the physical feels?

 

[Emrys]

It was amazing seeing Roy almost snap there.

So, you're interested in North_Ranger's feels, hmmmm?

Can you blame me?

 

[Emrys]

Can you blame me?

No, I really can't.

I wonder how V is going to react to Durkon's death. He/she's (have we established gender) not exactly emotionally stable right now.

 

[North_Ranger]

NO FEELS! At least, not before you buy me dinner.[DOUBLEPOST=1363201475][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think the only elven character whose gender has been established is Lirian.

Is there any way of checking whether a (comic) book store sells the printed books? I'll be visiting New York and it's surroundings around June, so I'd love to pick those up (I've been trying to find and order them online, but the shipping costs are ridiculous).

 

[AshburnerX]

Not unless the comic book store has a website or a phone number you can call.

If we have some New York people you could have them order it to a store and you could just pick them up then. Or you could call a store. Whichever.

 

[Sparhawk]

Midtown Comics shows that they are out of stock on them. Largest chain of comic stores in New York.

#881: Temporary Weakness

Come for the storytelling, stay for the feels.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

I haven't used this in awhile, but it's fitting...

Belkar: Not an idiot.

Belkar doesn't want the world to end, either. He just wants to eat, have sex and kill things. Probably not possible if the other team wins.

Not unless he enjoys fornicating with hobgoblins.

 

[PatrThom]

Not unless he enjoys fornicating with hobgoblins.

Signs point to no.

[North_Ranger]

Unless he mistakes "fornicating" to mean "stab repeatedly and then go for the next guy".

#882: It's a Boy!

 

[Shawn]

So is Durkon going to be a Vampire for a while? Technically he would be fulfilling the oracle's vision if he went home in his current state.

 

[PatrThom]

The characters talk so ... casually about things which I'm sure charge the readers with emotion.

--Patrick

 

[North_Ranger]

So... I guess that's the vampiric equivalent of learning not to touch the stove.

 

[PatrThom]

I do wonder how much a vampire/vspawn remembers of its previous life.

Well, Malack remembers his own life. Not sure about spawn...

 

[PatrThom]

Well, Malack remembers his own life.

Does he? I know he knows who he was, but there's nothing to suggest he knows this as memories and not merely because he researched his past life.

New Comic!

New Order and a new Goblins all in one day? It's Christmas!

 

[PatrThom]

Don't think for one minute that I missed the fact that the imp used a gender-specific pronoun.
Also don't think for one minute that I view it as conclusive (since even the imp may not be able to definitively tell).

It could have also been part of the taunt.

Hasn't Burlew announced he will never reveal V's sex?
And characters have always referred to V as a him or a her in the past. It just varies between characters which pronoun they use. Kinda hard to write when you don't have access to certain pronouns

 

[Piotyr]

Q: Is Vaarsuvius male or female?
A: I will never reveal the truth! Bwahaha! Keep in mind that while certain other characters might refer to V as being male or female, that simply reveals their perception.not the actual reality of the situation.

 

[Shawn]

The good news is, your best guess is always 50% likely to be true.

 

[figmentPez]

The good news is, your best guess is always 50% likely to be true.

Do we know for certain that elves have gender dichotomy? More-over, can we be certain that there's no possibility of V being inter-gender in some manner?
