Trapped in his mind, aye. I suspect physically, though, he’s right where he wants to be for the moment. Nice and isolated where he can’t hurt anyone else.
To be scatalogical: I do see a toilet in Bragga’s birdcage. If they were going with the whole “bird” motif, I would have thought the cage would be lined with news parchment. On the other hand, I sure wouldn’t want to be on the ground below his cage when it’s time for #2.
I think it’s a chamber pot. That would lessen the threat on being on the ground below.
Quite a lot of furniture, in these cages. The prisoners are expected to be somehow cooperative and not to break/throw things out of the cage.
Maybe the cages are floating high above an ocean. Or the sky elves don’t care about the hapless saps on the ground below.
Not really, if said Avians and Landsharks had tried to kill him before he killed them. And those Landsharks would have had no qualms about eating him first without even cooking.
Dunno, eating a sentient being is still pretty… gruesome. Not quite cannibalism (technically him eating Rabbit isn’t cannibalism either, different species and all) but there’s a distinct difference between killing a humanoid being in self defence and eating it once it’s dead.
Only difference is that Landsharks and Avians happen to be on the opposite side of the war. Technically Bragga is a war criminal.
Given the realities of that world? What with gnolls and sharks and goblins and what have you…all of whom are pretty snacky-without-discretion, I think it’s less about “almost cannibalism”, and more about “I ate my friend”.
It may be splitting hairs, but it’s a pretty frikkin big hair.
You can see into the chamber pot sort of so yeah, Rabbit could get one more tag before he takes that final plunge. (I can’t see any plumbing so I assume Rabbits funerary services will include the pot being emptied over the side of the cage. )
Farmers must love all the free fertilizer as the sky cities float by.
except those thieving bastards just “conjure” their crops out of the ground or from harvested cartloads to be taken to market, or even off their own damned table casting the rain of shit in a less favorable light
Wait, I know Rabbit got et, but Astoria bit it too? Aw MAN…she was awesome!
Also…um..I think I’m feeling a feels. Brag is hurting in a way I just can’t make fun of.
Yeah, I had to go back and check, but she gets cut down by Byron in the background. I had completely missed it until I was prompted to double-check the old comics, since she wasn’t tagged in that strip.
Sad to see, but I realized it was a possibility, and she at least got way more panels than I ever expected for my kickbacker dollars. It was always a strange space where I was flattered to see her get the time she did, but also knowing (due to the nature of Kickstarter) that she could never graduate beyond a cameo character. In any case, the days of me poring over crowd scenes and backgrounds for her are over, it seems.

But still I’m kept in a Guilded Cage.
I know I’m supposed to keep the first comments in high spirits, but it’s hard to do when Braggadocio looks so trapped.
Trapped in his mind, aye. I suspect physically, though, he’s right where he wants to be for the moment. Nice and isolated where he can’t hurt anyone else.
Or Eat anyone else!
Ooh, that comment (especially with that Gravatar) was just in poor taste.
Might carry a little more weight if yours wasn’t smirking like the cat that ate the canary.
Kettle, and pot
Poor Braggadocio… I can’t imagine how horrifying that must have been for him to find out what he’d done when taken over by the berserker spirits.
You have an enviable lack of imagination.
Jeez. Poor Bragg. I’m pretty sure I remember Astoria was the punching lady, but who was Colonus again?
“The Congenial.” Super tan guy, grey hair.
Aw, man. I liked that guy! :(
Yup, he got axed while trying to block the gate. One of the first down.
Yeah, he was the smiling fighter. I assume you mean “Colonnus”. “Colonus” refers to a type of Gastonian doctor who specializes in the large intestine.

Braggibal the cannibal? Thass cold, bro!

“Glazed, maybe. Even smoked. But never, EVER cured.”
I like your comment.
Hard to feel terribly sorry for him when we know he’s eaten Avians and Landsharks in the past.
Not really, if said Avians and Landsharks had tried to kill him before he killed them. And those Landsharks would have had no qualms about eating him first without even cooking.

on the other claw thats probably a traditional burial for the landsharks
i have a difficult time believing land sharks die of old age
or other nonviolent means for that matter.
Exactly.

I don’t really understand this viewpoint. Once they’re dead, meat is meat. What’s more, meat isn’t sapient once it’s dead.
Perhaps they should wait a while before letting delicious little men be present at feeding time. It just reminds him.
And the bird was a poor choice too seeing as how Rabbit tasted just like chicken…
HA! Well played writer person!
He’s a two-eyed, no-horned, flying ‘zerkin people eater.
Good job.
aw, I love that song
Soylent green grass and high tides forever…..
Spoiler Alert: The most adventurous game is people. PEOPLE!!
I’m sorry, that’s actually the most DANGEROUS game.
The most dangerous game in Zero Percent Roulette, played in an active volcano, while wearing sixteen sharks in your trousers.
It’s hard for him to go back to poultry. Once you’ve had some long pork, you’re hooked…
technically Rabbit can be tagged in this post too…
Come on now, he’s probably already passed.
Oh god I’m horrible.

Well quality fertilizer like the sky elves produce doesn’t just grow on trees! Don’t they deserve to get some recompense to support their industry?
Wait, I know Rabbit got et, but Astoria bit it too? Aw MAN…she was awesome!
Also…um..I think I’m feeling a feels. Brag is hurting in a way I just can’t make fun of.
You can do it.
Focus your mind.
Reach deep inside yourself until you feel the burn.
Picture it flowing through your vein pathways and out to your fingertips.
Let its fire flow into the net.
I believe in you!

She’ll be missed.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.
No refunds.
Hey, you break it, I bought it. I- wait, now I’m just confused.
But she was so new when she died she still had tags on her.
*sad, but not surprised* -_-
I thought I thaw a puddy cat.
I wish I had your gravatar…

Still no sign of Bandit post-berserker battle. That scene is going to be heart wrenching and the comments section will be the epitome of controversy.
Sad Braggadocio gives this scene unexpected emotional weight.
