Okay I have to admit, the page might have gotten something right. Land sharks seem pretty dangerous, and an Avian passing itself off as human would be kind of freaky if you figured it out.
Although whether or not goblins are a danger to be around while tinkering is an open question.
I love the “I’m planning something evil as I wring my hands together” look of the avian. Maybe he’s daydreaming about who will be the next victim of his loosely muscled and largely uncontrolled sphincter.
Hey, i just had a thought. Remember when this comic began, before we flashed back into a long and extended origin story? The charactes were trapped in a cell that was filling with water, and Syr was doing her “Science Can Be Fun, Kiddies” act about how one could quickly estimate how much time it would take to drown a dwarf? And they realized that their only chance was to brute force the bars?
Well, thing is that was before we knew that Byron was “The Berserker Who Doesn’t”.
So i wonder, is it possible that at that point he did? Just a little? After all, it was a matter of lsurvival. And if so, i wonder if that has made him more vulnerable to the impulse. Sure, we saw him fight it off recently, but i suspect there will be more such situations in the future.
Satan. He sends little demons of evilness to mess with your spelling. In this does he take great delight.
He’s really kind of a jerk. I think the Devil might be a Troll.
Anyone who has studied the avian abduction phenomenon would immediately recognize that the avians among us are the results of an extended hybrid breeding program.
“Land sharks?”
I’m scared. Somebody hold me. 0__0
They’re not so tough.

We’ll have mechanical whores! MECHANICAL WHORES!
?
it’s a reference to that page that was linked
To be honest, “land shark” sounds like an evolutionary oxymoron.
Actually, they’re pretty badass. They form street gangs and fight crime.
they bite, they fight, the landsharks, landsharks, its time to kick some serious fiiiin. they’re landsharks, landsharks
That’s not a “Land-shark”, it’s just a “dolphin”.
Land sharks.
What is this i don’t even
Is that a Digger reference I see? Or something else?
They are, tragically, both an SNL & Early D&D reference.
I know what Land Sharks reference. :P (Well, I didn’t know about the SNL one until today, but anyway.)
I meant chuzzum’s second line there.

So goblins = awesome gnomes?
Hey, land sharks are civilized. Look, they wear pants.
Odd that Land Sharks would be considered dull witted, the ones on Saturday Night Live were always so clever.
Not sure that pretending to be Jehovah’s Witnesses was THAT clever…
Land Sharks, the ancient ancestor of the Street Sharks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Sharks
YES! Someone else remembers!!!
… Everyone else remembers.
Some of us just wish we didn’t.
They were even worse than the Biker Mice from Mars…
Have we seen avian’s yet? I like that little touch of paranoia “Look out, avians are among us!”
Part 4 got mistakenly replaced by this update, as well.
I wonder if there’s any relation to Street Sharks.
I believe that is in fact the reference he was going for.
Just glad we didn’t meet the…toads of war…as it were. The battling reptilians would be an undesirable addition to the Gastonian lands.
Amphibians.
batrachians, even.
That land shark looks capable of some serious kung fu treachery.
So, goblins in Guilded Age = goblins in World of Warcraft. Got it!
Actually just “Warcraft” the franchise and setting was around for ten years before World of.
And goblins have been tinkerers all along…or at least since Tides of Darkness, which was the first one I played.
Sooooo What they’re suggesting is that Non-Humans are either:
A)Useful
or
B)Dangerous
Yeah, sounds about right.
In other words, just like humans.
HUMANS are full of AWESOMENESS, at least the ones from GASTONIA, who are the only ones who COUNT, at least wihout having to take their shoes off!

Reminds me of the Grand Duke from Rock-A-Doodle.
What about the cobolds?! they have feelings too!.. well sort of…
Not enough for one to feel remorse when killing them.
Wait. I-I’m only a dolphin, ma’am.
What’s that you said? Adolph-in? Send him to the Nuremberg water tank.
A dolphin? Oh, all-right then.
I say any race civilized enough to cover up their junk with pants is civilized to me. =P
Oh and hello to everyone. Been following for a while, but just thought I’d maybe start commenting as well.

Uh… That wasn’t his berserker rage, that was the cultist using mind control magics on him.
I thought it was the culting forcing Byron to berserk against his will.
Nah, that was blood a curse. If Byron had berserked right then, the first target would have been that cultist, because ALL OF BYRON’S HATE.
cultist
I fail at spelling. Why can I not edit my own posts?

I have a feeling that there are a lot of in-jokes I’m not getting in these most recent pages. Is there a game I should be playing?
“Pluckies big adventure” should explain it all
The Goblin look bigger than other takes on the creature

The truth is out there!
When I look at the avians I just picture an evil Big Bird
What does that say about you?
come on, i cant be the only one thinking JAWSOME! right now…
He needs a little bowler hat… And a plucky remora sidekick.
The irony of the Landshark is that they can’t swim.
