      There seem to be an astounding number of people around here who can’t spell “ask” without an X.
      Just what is with that? Never anything else… just that. That. One. Pun.

      I’m making an axecutive decision to confiscate your punning license until you can plan a smarter one and hatchet, no mattock how long that takes. So, can you handle it, or is it too taxing for you?

      (Now axecuse me a moment. I need to wash the shame away.)

        I never thought you would become such a pun-ter but I guess you couldn’t cleave well enough alone.

        If anyone starts cutting up with poleaxe jokes, just cleave me out of it! Axes tend to lose their heads, when people make ethnic poleaxe jokes. A sharp wit can land your neck on on the chopping block. Some things are just better cleft unsaid.

        Besides, you should never trade cutting remarks with axes. They’re a cut above at cut-downs. It’s what they were cut out for.

      I rather expect a Byron vs. Best clash. After all, Best seems to be absent later…

    Are those both Byron’s axes? Or is one of them Frigg’s?

    Ugh. No love triangles. Those are always turn out so complicated for some reason, I mean all you need to do is Murder the Hypotenuse.

    Is a hippopotamus just a really cool opotamus?

      It’s one of Byron’s axes on top of Best’s “axe”.

      It Just Bugs Me: Murder The Hypoteneuse has always seemed like an inaccurate description. If we’re talking a Byron-Frigg-Best triangle, wouldn’t the hypoteneuse be Frigg? And Best would be the short leg.

      …as Frigg has already discovered.

    I sense a disturbance in this webcomic…
    Like a thousand fans crying out for action, and then going silent due to the pain of waiting.

    I also sense rivalry, awesome and PIE.
    But that’s another story.

    No No NO! You should want Best to die.

    You should want him to be surrounded by pain, fear, and FIRE. He should scrape along the ground, one arm desperately seeking sanctuary while the other desperately tries to keep his innards from spilling out of his belly and into the unforgiving dirt, the dirt that is composed of the ground up bones of all he holds dear! He should struggle and find futility! He should strive for life and find death! He should beg for help and receive a boot to the face!

    HE.
    SHOULD.
    BUUUUUUUURN!

      Just because he is a bard? Because being a douche is what ultimatelly being a bard is about. That, and not dying as a warrior, and thus repopulating the earth. On this sense, he is perfect. As long as he can pull his weight.

      Well, you don’t HAVE to leave his body cavity open.
      I mean haven’t you ever wondered what would happen if you poured cement-mix into someone’s body cavity then stitched it shut? =3

    So, are we to interpret that Mr Best and the other guy are going to cross swords? or Axes?

    Just how the fuck do you know Best’s name but not Byron’s? Byron’s ten times as cool and worthful!

    Also, I don’t think the love triangle will be between Frigg, Bryon, and Best(may he burn in hell). I think it’ll be between Bayen, Brayen, and Best’s axe.

      The whole situation could be resolved with two cuts.
      One to the strings of Best’s axe.
      One to Best’s crotch.

    Just realised that none of the Characters use swords, which is sort of weird for this type of webcomic.

    Also where do Frigg’s weapons come from, I mean you never see her carrying them around, they just appear from nowhere when a fight happens.

    And it can’t be difficult to miss a Massive shield and giant staff-mace thing…

      And swords suck. I love the lack of swords.

    Have I mentioned yet how much I absolutley LOVE the texturing of the pages? They looks so amazing! Like old parchment paper, stained and a little wrinkled in places. I just wish the edges of the pages matched up to it, that would totally rock.
    Also, I love, love LOVE Bests axe. While my dad introduced me to this thing first, he himself didn’t read it (possibly another reason I didn’t start reading it right away), but I am so showing him the axr to see what he thinks about it. I’ve never seen the like before and it is just totally awesome.
