its spelled right, just the wrong word. then again spelling is a recent convention indeed and not one everybody can agree on regardless so whats the point
Google “triskelion”. It’s no more swastika-like than a regular cross (+) is for example. It’s a case of something being so prominent that one sees it everywhere, kinda like penises.
I agree with BeefPot, although Jean Luc does have a good point about the shape basically being a triskelion. So I see this more as a triskelion-based cult symbol (which should be a totally legit reference — the triskelion is a pretty common part/basis of religious symbols especially in Celtic faiths) that hints at the Nazi swastika symbol for effect, instead of it being a swastika with one of its legs lopped off and stylized with more curvature.
technically, I think triskelions are sort of a type of swastika. The germans weren’t the first to use swastikas, they just ruined them for everyone else. Kinda like Hitler ruined the toothbrush mustache. The Sicilian emblem is still a triskelion of legs with Medusa’s head in the center. I’m told the three legs represent Sicily’s three seasons.
Yes, that too. I wouldn’t say the triskelion is a type of swastika, but the symbols typically have common roots, so they are family (in some cultures only one of the two exists or is commonly used, in others both are used along with others of the family and their variations).
The coat of arms of the Isle of Man is a triskelion of legs. It represents an old north celtic legend of a hero who was really fast. He didn’t actually have three legs, the idea was that he ran as if he did.
His/her skin has a slightly greenish-grey cast to it, as well. Maybe it’s a wood elf? After all this chapter IS “The one where the races of Arkerra unite”.
OH GOD, I just realized that I’d been assuming that meant “all the people of all the races unite,” but it probably actually means “a few people from every race unite,” i.e. our cultists!
Yes. Ears. No green tint. Possibly a Winter Elf, but likely a Shit Elf. Not that it seems to matter to the cultists. They are evidently the non-racist type of evil.
I think that by this point our intrepid writers may never bring Best back. Or, if they do they will do it in such a way that we will not see it coming.
At this point I’d have expected someone to comment with the CSI:Miami/Horatio-Caine-Sunglasses-Pull meme, but I see the crowd of cultists have already beaten us all to it.
I bet Gnolls do it doggy style.
…which involves both horizontal and vertical positioning so does that mean it averages out as diagonal?
i sense a mathematics paper.
vector analysis as a function of efficient coitus.
I’m more interested in learning what the formula to find the physical coefficient of efficient coitus is.
(inches/second)stamina = newton-gasms.
… I am now ashamed.
Based on the angle of the dangle…
I hate maths papers about sex. They’re full of vulgar fractions.
Afraid that’s what they call perpendicular. Ifyanowoteyemeen.
What a coinkydink. I only do it diagonally ….
OMG. I’M A VIRGIN!
Appropriate avatar is appropriate (until avatars change, anyways).
Like a vergin!
Cut for the very first time!
Like a ver-er-er-gin!
When my heart beats one last time.
Gonna give you all my blood boy!
My pulse is fading fast.
Been dieing all for you,
Cause only blood can last.
^^^ NOT a waste of time!
i donno,who rhymes time with time?
looks like someone should’a had a V-8, you know to prevent doing it slantwise
If only he was fucked in the literal sense….
Hey, there’s ways to die and then there’s ways to die.
And of course there’s ways to die a little.
…inside.
or just to die un petite morte.
Merde.
If you hadn’t made the alt-text joke, I would have. As would have probably about twenty people before me.
Yup. he’s totally screwed. Boned. buggered.
If you position the alt-text just above the roar of the crowd in the last panel, they become more than the some of their parts.
…did we really just misspell “sum”? That’s embarrassing.
its spelled right, just the wrong word. then again spelling is a recent convention indeed and not one everybody can agree on regardless so whats the point
The moral of the story is to have sex before you’re sacrificed to the dark ones by your peers.
as early and as often as possible.
What? It’s to save your life!
Is his eye liner running?
As Emily Dickinson’s porn star cousin, Emile Dickinside, used to say, “Have all the Sex but have it slant.”
“Too bright for our infirm delight The truth’s superb surprise,” indeed :P
You’re missing one or two dashes.
BTW, on panel 4, this is the first time I’ve noticed that the cult signal is a little Nazi-ish. Like a 3 pronged swastika.
Oh, they left one prong off so that they can still sell the game in Germany.
Google “triskelion”. It’s no more swastika-like than a regular cross (+) is for example. It’s a case of something being so prominent that one sees it everywhere, kinda like penises.
Now that you mention it, it does look like a three pronged twisty penis.
Note the version under the sacrifice guy – I think those are supposed to be arms with fists.
CANNOT UNSEE
You are in a maze…
That’s a fair point, but the overall design of the banner, black in white in red, makes it a bit more likely to have been intentionally similar.

whoah, that’s a cool tidbit of info.
What race is the sacrifist? That’s an awful large, awful warty nose.
His/her skin has a slightly greenish-grey cast to it, as well. Maybe it’s a wood elf? After all this chapter IS “The one where the races of Arkerra unite”.
OH GOD, I just realized that I’d been assuming that meant “all the people of all the races unite,” but it probably actually means “a few people from every race unite,” i.e. our cultists!
Probably human. Just look around…
Look at those ears! Shit Elf ?
Yes. Ears. No green tint. Possibly a Winter Elf, but likely a Shit Elf. Not that it seems to matter to the cultists. They are evidently the non-racist type of evil.
OP’s referring to the guy doing the sacrificing.
warthog.
So I know I’ve been wrong about this before but this guy, this guy is definitely Best’s alt.
I think that by this point our intrepid writers may never bring Best back. Or, if they do they will do it in such a way that we will not see it coming.
But …I do it diagonally. All sorts of diagonals. Keeps it interesting. :|
You haven’t lived ’til you’ve done it on the Teeter Hang Up table. Take my word for it.
At this point I’d have expected someone to comment with the CSI:Miami/Horatio-Caine-Sunglasses-Pull meme, but I see the crowd of cultists have already beaten us all to it.
Whoah that Cult guys really know how to have fun. Where can i sign for the Armageddon-con?
Gnolls just wanna have fu-un, …
Actually, we have about 2 or 3 a year, should be one in September or October
I wonder what atrocities you have to commit to earn the yellow flame piping on your brown robe. I am guessing you have to be one sick Mo-Fo.
Max Jenius doesnt get a character tag?
I swear to god, i have some coathangers with the same print of that bloodpourer.
Death… By Snu-Snu!
