#387 – Weakness
  • Eliza
    Oh Zedwig!
    Oh Fang!
    Oh everyone!!!
  • Stormin' Mormon
    My friend got me addicted to this comic and to several others on the links page as a result... *shakes fist indignantly*.... keep up the good work, addictive though it may be :-P
  • *Gaspity* This is so dramatic! I love your shiny, magicky effects. I know perfectly well why Fang stepped in -he knows Zedwig is *not* weak and *can* fight him, and is afraid he will if Bactine encourages him.
  • Psalm
    Please, shoot Sangwine again, oh Emperor!
  • O_o
  • Inkblot
    I need to be stopped. Seriously, I'm scaring myself. Because. I keep. Coming. Back. Every flipping two hours! Like some sort of crazed, listless zombie HAMSTER or something. O_x
    I-I know there can't possibly be another update yet. And still... I return.

    (Stop me! Please!)

    >_> I know that it's like one in the morning, but that doesn't change the truth of my words. Actually it may intensify my point.

    I suspect I'm not alone though. The story's just so intense right now!

    (While you're at it, somebody should stop me from posting at these ungodly hours. I'll be quiet now and go... Either to bed or to be institutionalized. I'm not sure yet.)



    ...


    Sorry. Really.
  • Zypher
    I totally know what you mean. I'm DYING for the next update!!! DYING! *dies*

    See?
  • Aww, I'm so sorry! I got behind due to several things, but am working pretty diligently on it today. It should be soon! Maybe tonight.
  • Zypher
    YAY

    Though that wasn't meant as a guilt-trip... I feel that way immediately after reading the new page because I love this webcomic so much. XD
  • Inkblot
    Yeah, I wasn't trying o guilt trip either. I just had to confess my madness. XD I can understand how hard it is to make and update such a beautiful comic AND have a life.
  • Psalm
    Yes, I heartily agree. Especially when the next strip is so full of Sangwine's blood splatter. That sort of thing is hard to draw. ;)
  • Ellie
    I feel your pain. I'm doing the exact same thing. It makes you wonder if you have no life...
  • Inkblot
    We should start a Save the Zedwigs Foundation. If we donate enough, maybe we can get one of the other characters to give Zedwig a big hug, a cupof cocoa, and a good solid psychiatrist.
  • BunnyBliz
    Don't forget the big plushie!
  • Inkblot
    Like a teddy bear you mean?
  • LyssaGirl
    And...and..... T-SHIRTS!
  • Lini
    I fully expect Al'bert to make his reappearance here, skewer Fang, release Zedwig, and ride off into the sunrise with Bactine.
    Sangwine? Who's Sangwine? :P Then again, I may be expecting a little too much of the possibly dead elf. Scene change?

    But, failing all that, I'd quite like to see Bactine laugh in Fang's face for his mini-monologue.

    (I also keep thinking that Fang says "Arrrgh!" in the third to last panel. Then in the second to last panel he says "Friends? People keep mentioning them. Are they important?" And in the last panel "Maybe it's a sort of souffle...")
  • Ellie
    Your replacements for the actual lines made me giggle.
  • Jess
    "the [blank] is mine! It belongs to me!"
    slightly reminiscent of another angsty fantasy character, although on the other side of that protagonist/antagonist coin ...
    and rats -- I was hoping that Bactine had gotten his earring. Guess it was too much to hope for. Can't wait for the next page! (and the page after that, and the page after that ...)
  • Ellie
    Zedwig second and third panels: Awe...I just want to snuggle him and feed him a good meal. Poor guy. Sendz him to me. I vill take good care of him...
  • Celticcat
    My first thought was to squee over Fang defending Zedwig. Then I realized by stepping in Fang stops Bactine from inciting Zedwig(who was able to fight Fang earlier) and makes Zedwig feel a little guilty because Fang is taking the blame that Zedwig (angsty boy that he is) feels, at least partially, responsible.
    So I say Fang is yet again playing everyone... or maybe I just need a nap.(Does any of this make sense?)
    Amazing as always Colby!
  • Falco
    Haha, I'm with ya. I have to say it's really surprising me to see everyone going "aww, so sweet!" when Fang's the guy who drove Zedwig over the edge in the first place. Even if his conscience is kicking in now (which I seriously doubted even before his last comment) I'd say it's a little late.
  • I was also not expecting "Aw sweet" over Fang's actions, although he is showing a glimpse of some of his very rare soft spots here.
  • celticcat
    So he is showing softn moment here. I thought it was just an "Oh ****! I have to distract them before I'm the one pinned to the wall (again)" moment.
  • I'd call it being angsty rather than soft. He's a little worn down at the moment, as he's been 1) up all night, 2) knocked against the wall, 3) nearly electrocuted, and 4) kicked in the nards. Along with everything else.
  • Ellie
    "kicked in the nards"...Mwahahahahahaha!!!
  • Stormin' Mormon
    For some reason it dosen't surprise me you laughed evilly at this...
  • Megan
    Awww.... So sweet... Sorry. ^_^; I know he's a crazed man who's overtaken the kingdom and all...but that was so cute the way he defended Zedwig. XD So cute!
  • Noooooooo...something is messing up the bottom panels! O_O *cries*
  • Somebody tell me what the bottom panels say! T-T I can't read the bottom four speech bubbles.
  • I would imagine you're having an issue where your cookies are messed up and you just need to reload or empty your cache or (insert other technical jargon about caches and cookes here). There's no issue on this end.
  • Thank you. ^_^

    Though, the last panels make me detest Fangline more then I already do. -^_^-
  • Asha
    I dunnooooooo... seems to me like Fang could now be playing to Bactine's tendency to get worked up. Even if he really is regretful, and even if he really does despise her... I totally would not put it past him to start trying to orchestrate the truths and consequently the entire scene to his advantage.
  • LyssaGirl
    Oh so suddenly Fang has enough honor to say Zedwig is not to blame? Maybe Fang feels just the tiniest poke of his conscience.
  • Falco
    That last line sounds ominous for Sangwine's future...
  • baretoedgirl
    Wow, how interesting that Fang puts such an emphasis on the blame being his and not Zedwig's. He's so protective of him, even when there's no one around who can actually physically assault him. By the way, I finally get the last part of the last installment! xD I totally didn't get that she was reaching for his earring. That makes a lot more sense now. :D

    And it's funny, but I feel that here, Fang is showing all his softer sides, which is weird I guess. But he shows his affection for Zedwig and his previous affection for Al'bert. It's hard to just throw him off as a bad guy. I hope he doesn't die eventually. I kind of feel like he has to though... :(
  • Kade
    gah what an awsome page, i love Zedwig's expression in the second panel :(!
