    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

          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…

        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.

      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!

      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.

      She’ll be missed.
