#384 – Some unexpected things happen
  • Eliza
    YES!!!!!
  • Crystal
    wow there are just too many places where bactine (the pill bottle) looks demented...
  • Sho
    Xylic needs to make his appearance and steal Fang's socks. It'd be a good distraction. I've always been hoping that his ability would take him somewhere.

    On a less random note: Is that false dawn? It appears that Fang has survived the night.
  • Maddy lee
    I cant wait for the next part to see how sangwine is going to NOT die and bactine is going to make a sacrifice. Btw sarcasm is cool. Why cant Fang just win-- the rebellion fails and everyone dies. Fang is emperor!!
  • Lyss
    Ohhhh! Bac looks PISSED. Whoohoo! Come on Bac, use that power of yours and throw him off the balcony!
  • Me
    Ohhhh eye-poke FAIL.
  • Colby, I love how you make her finger look 'sharp.' Man, I was snorting with laugher and cheering Bactine on. Her audacity is her best weapon.
    (Yes, I think Goose must have spilled about the pokey finger of doom attack, which is why Fang could block it - it was expected. The pokey finger of doom attack only works if victim is suprised).
  • Sara
    MY SHOOTING FINGER!
  • lizybeth
    Anyone who's ever watched Deal or No Deal knows that the answer is always "No deal!"
  • Ilirien
    I love this page so much. Just - yeah. I really wanted to see Bactine poke Fang in the eye, though. But I'm impressed he didn't fall to his knees sobbing - Bac's face in the fifth panel is some kind of crazy mad - it's the eyes. You don't cross that face.

    Love the "girly-man" line - go Bactine! And the seventh panel with the Pokey-Finger of Doom absolutely rocks!
  • Lauren
    Hahaha I love this page!
  • HelenaHermione
    Oh, James!!!! No wonder Fang knew so much about Bactine...and I suppose the Goose must have once witnessed her heal someone, or at least heard about her powers! And so...I wonder what's going to happen to the Goose once they learn that's he an evil traitor?

    But in any case...pokey time! Or--maybe not.
  • whimsicalwishing
    I'm kinda thinking that if everyone found out about goosie-boy being a traitor, the result would be similar to that thing in Colby's art meme where Xylic and James go camping together and forget to bring any food. ;)
  • Hehe, I had to go find that and read it again, and it made me laugh just as much as the first time.
  • A Reader
    Hahahaa! Yes! Go Bactine! Only Bactine would have the audacity and the slight stupidity to call a supreme Evil Overlord "girly-man". Wonderful, wonderful.
  • fluffy the just
    it didn't work!

    how could it fail?!?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Eccentric
    "I'd like to make a deal with you, Miss Galla-aa-Ahhh! My shooting finger!" I laughed out loud. And noooo, the finger-to-the-eye poke FAILED.
  • Oh no! The earring! Does Bactine even qualify as a mage? Or is that earring "any caster class" more or less?

    Can Fang take control of BOTH Bactine and Zedwig at the same time? Or does that mean he lost control of Zedwig?

    So... many... questions!
  • Fang at this time has no magnifying power over Bactine. If he knew a little more about his abilities it might be different, although questionable considering the stubborn will Bactine has ..... but no, he can't right now.
  • Well people always said I think too much. XD I think they were right. I start seeing plot points in everything!
  • Zypher
    That one wishes you hadn't asked...
  • C
    LOVE that she called him girly man. LOVE LUV LUHV.

    and Fang is askin' for it.
  • So...
    she first calls Sangwine "pretty-boy."

    Now she calls Fang "girly boy."

    :P

    Ack. I wanted to see Fang hopping up and down and wailing about his eye.
  • Falco
    Someone please draw that.
  • Kade
    LOL girly-man xD! Fang, she just went for you balls, man! Don't take that crap!
  • at least he didnt bite Bact's finger as well, (yet), but...
    biting the shotin' finger of the bad guy and call him girly man... such dirty acts in a fight
    (why all that reminds me someone actually?)
  • Lissy
    .....hey!! =P

    anyways... Bactine: 1, Fang: 1

    I'm disappointed in you Bactine. Rule One of the sneaky eye-poke: it only works on the men who think you have soft feelings for them. Btw, isn't it ironic that the only elf who chose to have short hair (early-comic-Xylic doesn't count, he was a hiding half-elf back then) is the "girly man"? Maybe the shorter the girlier, eh Arhdiy?
  • (yeah, i was half waiting that reaction...)

    so, the eye-poking have rules also, eh? geeez how complicate is your world kiddo, and about your "isnt ironic" point, well you already know that all the elf characters are always portrayed more females than "machos" or "die hard" stereotype, just picture his tone of voice when he said: "my shoting finger!"
    P.S. I saw the sarcams there, so yeah, if (in real life) if (maybe) short hair makes looks girly, long hair then...?
  • For the record!

    Calling an elf "girly" is a common human slur used against any elf whenever an insult is necessary. She's just trying to get under his skin. Which she does.
  • Zypher
    Gotta love the third panel. And the panel with just a finger. Somehow, even with poor Sang lying on the floor dying (again) you manage to make me laugh. Awesome job Colby!
  • Psalm
    Heal Zedwig and Sangwine may live, Refuse, both you and Sangwine will die.

    I love you Fang, you're setting a great example for the children.
  • Auriferous
    Aaaah! The unfailing poke has failed! 0.0 Is nothing sacred?
  • mickimonkee
    Oh...My....I LOVE the third panel! It's sooo perfect! Ooh, and the fourth!
