Or a river. Path or river. With people on either side, or possibly just good Cingular Wireless connections. And there’s a coastline, or possibly a more meandering river. And what looks like whirlpools.
If this isn’t a map, I’ll eat my hat. Which I shall make out of lettuce.
It doesn’t look like a map to me. It looks more like a ilustrated berserking face with fierce fangs and three bodies lying before it’s face. Imho they’re brayen bayern (?) and maybe bandit. The zigzag line in the middle looks like an opening in it’s chest but eh…mine is just a wild guess.
By the way i kinda find it realistic for him to have creative tendency after bringing destruction.
Also, the X’s might not be people. I’m not sure what else they might be – I mean, usually X marks the spot and all, but the number of X’s would seem to not be an indication of “yarr, treasure!”
Maybe it’s some kind of memory – Byron’s first finger painting looked like so, back in the nice days before his first “episode” … when he killed Bayen and Brayen… you know, the good old days right?…
OK, John, I know you won’t answer this (or perhaps you would but then they’d have to kill you)–but could it be that this drawing keeps getting bigger and by the end of the chapter, if we pull back as our heroes are leaving, we might see from a higher angle just what it is? Hmmmmmm??????
Oh come on, stuck between a rock and a not-quite-so-hard place? Unarmoured grapple check? Preserving body heat? There are plenty of childish euphemisms, just as long as your childhood was somewhat sleezier than normal.
Otherwise, though, kudos for finding a way to keep the rhythm – works well!
Yes, because we all know Picard is a secret dirty old man. Vash only stopped seeing him because of all the tentacle porn she found in his holodeck files.
Picard, you son of a bitch, I’m pretty sure that was my cousin. And she’s sixteen. Say “hi” to Chris Hansen for me. I can’t wait for this scandal to hit the space-tabloids.
Maybe this settles the whole “But she’s a vegetarian!” debacle. She’s not a rabid pro-vegan who says that eating meat is murder and must convert everyone. If we weren’t meant to eat meat, our teeth wouldn’t have evolved the way they have.
My 02CP… Byron isn’t quite all there. (Understatement, anyone?) Perhaps something the mystic that almost got him to ‘zerk on Syr’nj implanted something in his subconscious that is now being shown via his sand art? Maybe his recent…er…affliction (the death, not the rage) unlocked it?
We’ve seen that Best has been… prolific in the passel of partners he’s done the horizontal mambo with.
But would it still be considered necrophilia if they’ve been brought back from the dead?
no shes not a zombie she was resurrected. her soul and spirit are in there and she is once again a living breathing person. not a soulless rotting corpse.
Just because she’s a self-empowered woman who breaks our stereotypical gender-roles she has to be a lesbian? And don’t point out the previous hinted-at experience with Syr. You went straight to “lesbian” when you very well could have went to “bi”, after all, she was shown with Best before.
And I’m not angry, for the record, I’m just in a college lit. class which has made me extremely aware of gender roles in literature. I’m just having fun with your comment. Nice cat avatar, by the way, used to own a cat just like that. :P
Just wait until a lecturer insists that Twilight supports feminist ideas of female liberation and the end of bad stereotypes, forcing you to give it a positive analysis from a feminist perspective.
I’m pretty sure he was referring to an actual professor, Locke… Dumbing of Age only mentioned Twilight in reference to the Bechtel Test, which has nothing to do with bat-sh*t crazy assignment he’s talking about.
While Frigg may not be very feminine she still has needs. She is also a pragmatist. Frigg wants to get laid, Best is hawt, can you put two and two together?
The two are also more similar than it would appear imo. Best is a very capable fighters, something Frigg respects, it’s how the “hooked up” in the first place. Both are pretty snarky, stubborn, confident and pretty laid back about life.
Even while they’re jabbing at each other in the last panel the look in their eyes (Frigg’s especially) almost seems to indicate a kind of “closeness”, the kinda that only two such willful individuals can have. I’d love to see this go beyond just a “hatefuck”.
From what we saw of their players in Sepia World, I can see Frigg and Best having a sexual relationship that would, by default, end badly. Frigg’s player is very insecure; Best’s player is very narcissistic. Best’s narcissism, like Frigg’s hostility and aggressiveness, may be a way to cover his vulnerabilities.
A “happy ending” would require the two of them learning to trust each other. That will be a challenge.
Come to think of it, there are a lot of roleplayed romances in MMORPGs, and I wonder how many of them involve people like these two.
I don’t think Frigg and Best would work out, at least not as things stand, but mostly because of Best. I don’t think he’d be capable of having any sort of relationship or partnership of equality–he’s the star, he has to be the center of attention, and he obviously has an appetite for…everything. I get the impression Frigg would shrug off or join in the orgies, but I think in the long run he would see her as a “hot sidekick” at most and she would end up insulted, downplayed, and condescended to like everyone else. I don’t see her putting up with that.
Wow. If cleanly-drawn cartoon women give you this much problem, I can only imagine your revulsion if you are ever confronted with the flaws and irregularities of a real woman.
@Thor: Number one, you’re really, truly aiming that particular brand of venom at the wrong person. Number two, nice body, but her head’s too big and she looks like a female Mike Doonesbury (it’s’ the eyes, mainly).
@Phil: I wasn’t expecting a gold star, so okay, I guess.
(Double posted because I wanted to make sure the reply went to the right place)

Once again, kudos on the loltastic alt text.
I’m with Byron on that one. Eww.
Thirded.
wait because of frigg or best?
i agree with the eww for best. hes a douche.
but friggs am grrl an i know ya all arent dissin ma grrl
>_<
*Kills*
*Loots corpse*
*”Grrl” get*
I still say it looks like Byron is making a map.
A path to the mountains for sure.
Or a river. Path or river. With people on either side, or possibly just good Cingular Wireless connections. And there’s a coastline, or possibly a more meandering river. And what looks like whirlpools.
If this isn’t a map, I’ll eat my hat. Which I shall make out of lettuce.
You can make sugar out of lettuce?
You can make hats out of sugar?
Yes.

By the way i kinda find it realistic for him to have creative tendency after bringing destruction.
But why are there swirls and wriggly lines?
Also, the X’s might not be people. I’m not sure what else they might be – I mean, usually X marks the spot and all, but the number of X’s would seem to not be an indication of “yarr, treasure!”
Maybe it’s some kind of memory – Byron’s first finger painting looked like so, back in the nice days before his first “episode” … when he killed Bayen and Brayen… you know, the good old days right?…
Nonsense. He’s just diagramming some plays!
hmm… very interesting, swordsister. go on.
What else could the zig-zag line be?
OK, John, I know you won’t answer this (or perhaps you would but then they’d have to kill you)–but could it be that this drawing keeps getting bigger and by the end of the chapter, if we pull back as our heroes are leaving, we might see from a higher angle just what it is? Hmmmmmm??????
All work and no play makes Byron a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Byron a dull boy.
All work and no play makes Byron a dull boy.
a separation, perhaps? Maybe he’s morbidly keeping score: “Enemies I’ve killed while berserk… Friends and family I’ve killed while berserk”
Or drool, blood, the main street of his village, showing where those bodies lay to either side of it… hmm
Maybe a battle plan?
I guess that’s one way to wake the dead.
When the earth moves, that’s just the topsoil settling. ;D
So we know someone’s been eating meat. We’re just not sure it’s Byron.
Dear Lord..ugh..Naked Best and Frigg..ugh…brain…bleach..NOW
Single malt, or 100% agave anejo?
I think both will be necessary. ^^
Malt, please!
Mmmmm, hatefrigged by Frigg.
Oh god, that last panel. . .
The image I saw in my mind cannot be unseen. *shudders*
Byron demonstrates his master Tic-Tac-Toe skills.
Byron’s behavior right now reminds me of a little kid. He’ll just quietly do what he’s told because it’s easier– the poor thing.
Also, I hate to say it guys… But I ‘ship it. I think Frigg and Best may honestly make a lot of sense, even outside of casual sex if given the chance.
Gooood Byron, now fetch the stick boy!
Uh, well, had to eat my mount and stuff. You know, there’s a reason why we ride those beasts, instead of eating them….
Let’s not forget mingling with those land sharks. The only thing that smells worse than a fish in water is the one on land. Plus the desert sun.
Almost forgot:
Payet and Frigg, on a sandy sea,
F-U-C-K-I-N-G
Because there’s no childish euphemism for what they’re doing.
kissing is a… naive way to describe it. But truthfully? Your method preserves the rhythm pattern nicely without repeating the original.
Oh come on, stuck between a rock and a not-quite-so-hard place? Unarmoured grapple check? Preserving body heat? There are plenty of childish euphemisms, just as long as your childhood was somewhat sleezier than normal.
Otherwise, though, kudos for finding a way to keep the rhythm – works well!
Do puns count as childish euphemisms? Because we’ve made plenty of those at their expense. Even just last thread rifting off pork and meat alone.
Honestly, I thought there was more than one reason why they were called “Shit Elves”…
Eeeeew … ^^
ohmygod.
Ass to mouth.
I am not going to click on that.
C’mon, would picard post a video of people going a-t-m?
Yes, because we all know Picard is a secret dirty old man. Vash only stopped seeing him because of all the tentacle porn she found in his holodeck files.

Picard, you son of a bitch, I’m pretty sure that was my cousin. And she’s sixteen. Say “hi” to Chris Hansen for me. I can’t wait for this scandal to hit the space-tabloids.
Lol, I did!
*snicker*
Maybe this settles the whole “But she’s a vegetarian!” debacle. She’s not a rabid pro-vegan who says that eating meat is murder and must convert everyone. If we weren’t meant to eat meat, our teeth wouldn’t have evolved the way they have.
Oh, and it tastes good, too.
“Excuse? I was fuckin’ the dead.”
“I have every STD known to modern medicine.”
…and very likely some that are as yet UNknown.
My 02CP… Byron isn’t quite all there. (Understatement, anyone?) Perhaps something the mystic that almost got him to ‘zerk on Syr’nj implanted something in his subconscious that is now being shown via his sand art? Maybe his recent…er…affliction (the death, not the rage) unlocked it?
Yeegads. Kindly delete the “something” that immediately follows perhaps. That managed to sneak in there on me.
*goes to check the lock on the Cage of Somethings
Hellloooo, nude Frig. And Best. Best’s body makes me jealous. And slightly uncomfortable. I’m not afraid to admit it.
He’s the Best at porking Frigg
Forgot Katherine already Gabe? She won’t let you walk in on her in the shower again.
I am loving the musculature going on for Frigg *w*
I am not sure he’s Byron it.
We’ve seen that Best has been… prolific in the passel of partners he’s done the horizontal mambo with.
But would it still be considered necrophilia if they’ve been brought back from the dead?
Well no. Frigg has been resurrected. So she’s alive again and, in consequence, can no longer be considered as dead. I guess.
But she’s technically considered a zombie. And he’s doin it with her…the zombie.
no shes not a zombie she was resurrected. her soul and spirit are in there and she is once again a living breathing person. not a soulless rotting corpse.
I hope Frigg didn’t used “fuckin’ dead” as a discription of the actual situation.
:]
:D
XD
I think…I think I just threw up in my mouth a little…excuse me…
Once you’ve had a revenant
There’s nothing else you’ll ever want
As for the drawing, perhaps it’s like zen gardening. As part of his anger control regimen, Byron has been taught to express his emotions symbolicly.
Ah, so the nuclear bomb theory was right! Grats to whoever picked that one.
It’s weird, but I just don’t see Frigg being someone who would kiss Best, or really putting her mouth on any part of his body, even during a hatefuck.
Now someone’s going to link a page where Frigg kisses someone, that I didn’t remember because the coffee is still traveling to my brain.
Of course he tastes terrible, he is a shit elf.
Tin Star Made In China To Resemble Phil’s Star, Complete With Lead-based Gold Paint.
Because I found it pretty funny, but I just can’t afford a precious metal to make a decent counterfeit with which show my appreciation. Sorry, man.
Now, see, that’s what I meant way up there. Everyone had to go the gross-and-corrupt way. SHAME ON YOU GUYS!
Best poking a dead body.
Best has a nice body. Not gonna lie.
But Best and Frigg?! None of that makes any goddamn sense. And to be honest, I always figured Frigg would end up being a lesbian or something.
Just because she’s a self-empowered woman who breaks our stereotypical gender-roles she has to be a lesbian? And don’t point out the previous hinted-at experience with Syr. You went straight to “lesbian” when you very well could have went to “bi”, after all, she was shown with Best before.

Just wait until a lecturer insists that Twilight supports feminist ideas of female liberation and the end of bad stereotypes, forcing you to give it a positive analysis from a feminist perspective.
We all figured she was crazy.
No, I’m not talking about “Dumbing Of Age”. I’m talking about a real professor. Come one, Centurian, not everything is about webcomics.*
*(Only about 58% of everything is.)
I’m pretty sure he was referring to an actual professor, Locke… Dumbing of Age only mentioned Twilight in reference to the Bechtel Test, which has nothing to do with bat-sh*t crazy assignment he’s talking about.
I would walk out the class and get an F before agreeing with that.
While Frigg may not be very feminine she still has needs. She is also a pragmatist. Frigg wants to get laid, Best is hawt, can you put two and two together?
The two are also more similar than it would appear imo. Best is a very capable fighters, something Frigg respects, it’s how the “hooked up” in the first place. Both are pretty snarky, stubborn, confident and pretty laid back about life.
Even while they’re jabbing at each other in the last panel the look in their eyes (Frigg’s especially) almost seems to indicate a kind of “closeness”, the kinda that only two such willful individuals can have. I’d love to see this go beyond just a “hatefuck”.
Feckin’ typos.

Oh my GOD Frigg is disgusting-looking. The eyebrows alone are going to give me nightmares.
Wow. If cleanly-drawn cartoon women give you this much problem, I can only imagine your revulsion if you are ever confronted with the flaws and irregularities of a real woman.
I agree with this comment.
