    “Most” of the crops? That’s what happens when you send a demidragon to do a dragon’s job. I imagine he only semi-terrorized the populace.

              Did someone say wonton destruction? I thought it was the crops that were mostly destroyed. Unless soup-friendly dumplings grow on trees. …or vines? Like zucchini…

        Its still better than when they hired the Decidragon last year
        . He only took out a set percentage of crops.

        Next you’ll tell me that they are “almost pregnant” and “sort of” fell off a cliff.

    Gravedust as Santa is amazing. However, congratulations on the peasants face in the last panel! The sheer amount of joy and disbelief caught in that expression is spectacular.

      Only thing Gravedust is missing is the red hat with a tassle on the pointy top.

      Oh wait! He’s missing some reindeer….He’s got a couple of elves, but missing the reindeer.

    Everyone should have a beard to stroke when they’re feeling thoughtful. Yes, even the women. The dwarves have known this for some time.

    Yes, Gravedust … we humans are a slightly less hearty species. We must eat at least a few times a week in order to keep up our genocidal rage. Otherwise, we’re left with a mere genocidal hissy-fit. Half measures just don’t get things done.

    Rachel is adorable like this. Nice to see her in an activity that isn’t trying to impress Frigg. (Don’t get me wrong, I get why she is. But I like that she does other things too.)

    This seems slightly out of character for Gravedust. I know he isn’t a fan of Gastonia, but I thought he would be slightly more sympathetic to the starving poor people on the bottom of the social ladder. Like Gastonia is so bad it neglects and mistreats it’s poor almost as badly as it does outsiders, making them fellow victims of his perceived enemy.

    Maybe he is just racist.

      It could be that he’s slightly bitter about humans kicking them out of their home, driving them to live in the desert and now expecting him to feel sympathy for the “poor starving souls” who are likely just getting their comeuppance.

        Another possibility is a simple culture clash. Like what we used to get a lot with Syr’nj misunderstanding things. Remember the “You can’t absorb water through your toes?” bit?

        This one’s just not as funny.
