#410 – Last ditch effort

Zedwig got hit in the face.

A couple of things of note:

One, I removed the voting, although thanks for all the votes, you guys are awesome. I just came to a point where I didn’t forsee myself keeping up with it incentive-wise for now. I might stick it back up another time in the future.

Another thing is that my novels Fromage and Bactine Gallagher are now available for purchase on Amazon.com, in case, for whatever reason, you didn’t want to order them through Lulu. I think Amazon’s shipping costs less, but I’m not entirely sure.

Thanks for reading and for all the comments! <3

    Bet he wasn't expecting that! Hahhaha!
  • LeafyGreenTerrorist
    lol I was so used to Sangwine being in, like, every page that I'm feeling the loss. And what of Bactine?! IT'S KILLING ME.

    But and however this page is priceless. The backhand is possibly the best thing I've ever seen. EVER.
  • yerk
    actually its wheres al'bert thats bugging me
  • Crystal
    YEAH!!! Where is he???????? *o*
  • yerk
  • Am I the only one here that doesn't like the fact Zedwig got hit in the face? D:
  • Crystal
    I love zed, but you gotta admit, he can be a jerk lol XD i think we all love a jerky, handsome elf man!
  • Maybe. I want to see why and what happens next, to decide >.>


    *stalks you*
  • Andre
    His middle name must be "RUN!!!" XD It would fit so well with the password being "Gaarrgh!" earlier on the comic. ^_^
  • I'm guessing... either he doesn't know and has come to the end of stalling; he knows and swore not to reveal it; or it doesn't matter either way because of something off panel :D


    ...or one of the below. Also, are there regular updates? I can't seem to find or figure it out *sad*
    O_o Rereading the beginning. I actually remembered that, but filed under 'other misc comics what I don't remember details of, and certainly can't follow anymore or I'd remember more about what happened next'
  • I need to put it up somewhere... I supposedly update on Tuesdays and Fridays, but unfortunately this week have had some hangups.
  • Dan
    WHAP! hehehehe! love it
  • LuckyMrph
    Never! NEVER EVER NEVER! Ahhh man! Now I'll never know it! LOL! Derf! He shoulda done that in the first place!!! ....... I love Zedwig in the second panel, but the first and last are hilarious!!!!
  • N. W. Wimbler
    Wow. Epic panel. I love Derf. Make the next one great too!


    !Dr. Dixie!
  • Celidah
    Wow...can't blame him for hating it with a middle name like that.
  • Crystal
    what middle name? we don't know it yet!
  • yerk
    earlier was derf based on franz schubert? or is that recent?
  • Since he got the wardrobe change. (City of Ena)
  • yerk
    oh.thanks for repling! :D
  • Actually, I think it was before that. I'm not totally sure because it just dawned on me one day that I'd been subconsciously basing his looks and bearing on a painting of Schubert I'd always liked in college. So really it could have been earlier, or always. Who knows.
  • Okay, this seals it. Derf is my favorite.
  • Ivell
    Whats the bet that sangwine's middle name is Aaron and Wiz Ah run as the right answer
  • Haha, oh man, you guys are way more clever than I am.
  • Ivell
    That means either I guessed it and you did not expect us too, or I am WAY off
  • Yeah, that's not it. But a clever idea!
  • Ah, so glorious. XD

    And yes, Zedwig, however LOATHE I am to say it...you totally deserved that and it would be magnificent if you are unconscious in the next page. However much I enjoy your pretty Elven angst. :-)
  • Crystal
    lol it would be sooooo funny if his middle name was "Run" lol Sanguine Run Shloeffel (sp? i can't spell anything! lol)
  • LuckyMrph
    It would!!! ^__^
  • Crystal
    lol i like zed's face in the second one its sooo smug!! btw, what is his middle name?
  • Not telling! (yet)
  • Hahaha - I just learned my friend's last-name, and it reminded me of Sangwine. Lol - but you wouldn't believe me if I said his name.
    I also dreamt that I learned Sangwine's middle-name...
  • Annalia
    No, really... that backslap is the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while. It makes me giggle every time I look at it and as much as I love Zedwig... he totally deserved it. XD

    Derf, you rock.
  • Crystal
    lol i know he did deserve it... lol we should start up a Zedwig fan club!!!!
  • LuckyMrph
    Yeah!
  • spas
    right? and it's hilarious bc it's totally out of character for derf to resort to violence.

    but i feel like this middle name thing is familiar, like the subject has come up before.
  • LuckyMrph
    Tell me when you figure it out....
  • Annalia
    It being so out-of-character is probably why he ever got to Zedwig. Good old mage was fast enough to stop Kelneth (RIP, loved you) so I'd expect him to be able to do the same with Derf - had he been thinking such a thing would ever happen.
  • ellie
  • Wendy
    I really want to say that that's his middle name for real. Possibly complete with backslap, but on the other hand that might've made the birth announcements a little bit of a pain to handle.
  • I LOVE Derf! And fully appreciate the two coloured panels as well as the quick updating.
  • Barrett
    Derf Derfenson has just backslapped Zedwig. Derf Derfonson might die for that. Uh-oh. :(
  • LuckyMrph
    Not if he hit him hard enough!
  • lol!!!!
    but... what is the point of derf in this wist challenge? (not so confident anymore, eh? unless theres a hidden plot there...) lately characters engage something then just run.
  • Falco
    Zedwig, you totally had that coming
  • Ooh. Good webcomic. But where are the forums..?
    Ooh - he is doing a back-handed swipe. All of the webcomics I am reading have ogres on their latest page... Ha : )
  • spas
    ah, but derf is only half-ogre and, as an intellectual, the black sheep of the family. see here: http://www.purnicellin.com/lint/cast/

    this is the forum. no registration required - my favorite kind!

    *love* this page. derf's brawn can come in handy when combined with wit, bet zedwig didn't see that coming! i hope he is totally knocked out!
    but how could sang keep his middle name secret, as the prince? wouldn't it have been publicly announced at his birth?
  • Yes, everybody in Schloeffelonia knows it. In that frame he's in exile, which is where he met Derf.
  • Shalydra
    Isn't this a bit of a continuity error though? Derf's ability to say anything other then "Derf" is a rather recent change... innit?

  • I have no idea how that's a continuity error.
  • Zypher
    Sooooo mature, Sang. WOW I forgot how much he grew up through this quest...
  • That first panel IS adorable. But how bad could that middle name be to have a young Sangwine swear such an oath? and how did Zedwig find it out? Cute swat in panel five
  • Me
    Lol the first panel made me laugh.
  • jello
    Sangwine RUN!!! Schloeffel... nice name...
