Annotations Every Day - Written by T Campbell & Flo Kahn - Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip

'Lesser evil' is a relative concept, though.

    And if you go chasing mystics
    And you know they’re going to fall
    Tell ’em a hookah smoking dwarf
    Has given them the call…

      Go ask Magda.
      She’s only 3 feet tall.

        Truly, your libretto is dwarfed only by your starship ah… airplane impressions, impresario. I’m impressed!

            That was actually rather poignant and beautiful :’I

    “Our enemy treated me better than your leader ever did” must be a hell of a bomb to drop in a conversation…

      She seems to be taking it well…for the moment.

        Let’s just hope she doesn’t magma-smash his head in…

          If she did that, she’d be proving G-Dust right. o:

        You can’t tell that. She’s off-panel. She could be flipping tables and screaming and holding a knife to Gravy’s throat, while he continues to calmly tell the story.

      He’s alive, but I dunno about being treated better.

        “not being murdered” is objectively better in nearly all cases. Gravedust has had some rough patches in Gastonia but thus far nobody there has killed him, or even tried all that hard.

          I’d say that in at least 90% of my interpersonal interactions, not being murdered is the ideal outcome.

    I agree with the alt text. I was born in hillbilly / redneck country. That means all of my relatives are evil. Sum ‘r just lesser evil than uthers.

    So sure, he’s “not a tyrant” he just has a knack for getting his way. which involves murdering anyone who disagrees with him. Seems legit.

    Iver was a mystic in his first live, but soon had to learn they suck at PvP.
    Of course, that was long before the cool smash-your-enemies-with-the-power-of-rock -patch went live.
    Today he´s just angry he rolled a rogue instead.

        It’s all just a case of rogue rage, really.

    I like how you put the Matterhorn on one of the tents. Kudos!

    Okay, the mountain-mural on the tent? I thought the first time Gravedust saw it was when he went to see Iver?

      Yeah. And Gravedust said that the last time he saw Iver, Iver was just an advisor. Here he looks like the leader.

        I do believe we may have spotted a plot hole? I must wonder, are there plot bunnies living inside it?

          “Despite our acknowledged role as our tribe’s leaders, he held sway with too many angry savasi to be ignored.”

          Iver’s not a leader here–not officially.

    Magda’s like: “Oh, Iver wants you dead? Well, I’m happy to oblige.”

    Magda’s face looks to me like “Aw crap. Gravy’s right. I was duped.” Dawning realization…gut punch.

      She´s just disappointed, because a not-so-little bird told her everything would turn out ok.

    Now there’s only one of the seven mystics left, and I’ve found this elf kid who wears green and fights people with all sorts of gadgets…

      That´s not a mystic, that´s a wood-o-mancer.
      Yeah, I know, sorry.

      Were there only seven? I thought there were hundreds, maybe thousands.
