    He looks kind of bored/irritated in that last panel.

    Like, “Man, I kick all that ass, and all I end up with is a golden throne and two fly bitches at my feet. How is this fair?”

      That’s because there was a mixup in Outfitting and he didn’t get issued his sandals. It’s no fun treading the jeweled thrones of the Earth under your bare feet.

          That’s because he’s wearing Füt, fragrance for men.

            The other fragrance by the same maker, Pit, was not nearly so popular.

      He’s incredibly frustrated. He has two beautiful women at his feet, but no matter how many times he goes to his wardrobe to disrobe, he can’t remove his loincloth.

      Arkerra was a frustrating place, before the nudity mod.

    His expression and classic hairstyle reminds me of the tradition of the Belmont clan.

      His expression makes me think that throne is mainly made of cold metal and thus not very comfortable.

        Even if it was made of gilded wood, it still would be a pain to sit on.

        But no, there’s obviously a considerable time-jump between panels 4 & 5 (the hair is the clue). And, the change in his expression.

        In P4, he’s a simple brawler (and probably poor), and happy as a pig in shit.

        In P5, he’s livin’ large (Trump would be envious), but there’s a mountain of discontent behind that face.

        (Fame isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be… and not all change is for the good.)

        Nah… that’s a ‘What the fuck am I doing here?’ look on his face.

        Clearly fame and riches didn’t bring him the joy he thought it would… and it shows.

          Thank you, but I would not want a Gold Star merely for quoting from the works of the wonderful Terry Pratchett. Besides, Phil has explained before the how and why of the Gold Star – let’s not go Aurum Astrum Rabidus, mmkay?

              I could have chosen her butt, but then I thought Fr’Nj should have more O-face-time.

                *That* is a multiple-O face.

                (And explains Frigg’s massive discontent… she’s on the outside, looking in and thinking… That should be *me* quivering on that bed.)

      Between the times when the fires ate B’ial Vezk and the rise of servers of Arkerra, there was an age undreamed of. And unto this, Scipio, destined to sit upon the golden throne of badassery with a troubled butt. It is I, his chronicle, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure…

      No, he had a crowd-funding campaign to start a dot.com for his self-help program “How To Be Awesome Like Me, In Twenty-Three Easy Steps.”

    [Panel 2]…can Scip make a woman orgasm merely by looking at her intently? I say we need a few more comics in this scene to be certain – for Science!

    That was back in the old days, where he showed facial expressions instead of just implying them with his eyes.

    As a man this really should not be the first thought that crosses my mind, but when I look at the two ladies at Scipio’s feet I can’t help but think “Is this actually all they do all day? Sooner or later that’s just going to get boring for EVERYBODY involved.”

    Not to mention slightly uncomfortable, that’s not exactly a natural position. And those look like hard floors. Wait, crap, BOOBS!

    it’s official. short of punching a dragon-grizzly bear-shark hybrid to death with his bare hands, scip can’t get any more rugged. he is the ruggedest.

    A bit more time playing Skyrim, and Scipio learned how to sit on a throne properly (which, incidentally also explains his current demeanour)

    So, apparently, getting socked in the face gives you Best’s hairstyle.

    That explains a lot.

    Gotta love the expression of the face of the fruit carrier (Gnome? Human?) in the last panel. He DOES NOT like his job.
