            We all wondered if arrows have souls? I mean, of their own, not ones that were living people’s souls.

        It’s just the type of stuff, not anything specific (I think).

        Samurai Jack had a lot of dialogue-less scenes or even episodes, often with Jack floating in a void and having to go through some sort of curtain or whatnot. Though it could be more specifically in reference to the Demongo episode, where Aku’s leftennant held souls captive inside himself to call on their power.

      I suspect Gravedust’s looking over his shoulder in panel 2 because he’s depending on the Ragey McRagerface staying occupied by his brethren outside while he works inside. The situation once that thing once it realizes what’s going on is probably going to be…*puts on shades* infernal.

        What’s McRageFace going to do? Swallow himself?

        I figure it like this: Rage is extroverted. It looks outwards. For people to blame, people to flame.
        It can’t look inwards, because if it could, it would consume itself.

        Or some poetic shit like that. Soon to be proven wrong, no doubt.

      The hard part will be when Gravedust needs to call Byron’s spirit through the arrow in the physical realm. Then he’ll need to realise that by using the sprit representation of the arrow rather than the physical arrow, he actually obtained a reference to a reference to Byron (spirit of Byron in spirit of arrow in phyrical arrow) rather than a reference directly to Byoron (spirit of Byron in physical arrow alongside spirit of arrow). Until then, trying to commune will only result in a spirit type mismatch error.

          I’d hand you a pointer to what he’s talking about – but i’d end up in some bad memories.

        As long as Gravy uses *byron_arrow instead, it’ll be fine.

    Byron’s in FFP (Full Fetal Position): 1. Arms & legs curled up 2. Nekkid 3. In almost a womb, of sorts.

    Yay! I’m all caught up! I’ve been binge reading since I started reading this comic. I’m fairly new to webcomics, but I’m hooked on them now. And Guilded Age quickly became one of my favs. I’ve read almost 200 (I know because I have a spreadsheet, OCD and anal retentive) and GA is in my top tier group. I’m bummed because I didn’t come across it earlier and I missed out on the Kickstarter (would have loved to get a character in a cameo role) and Ask An Adventurer. I really can’t express well how good the characters and story and art all come together and produce a top shelf product. Thank you for making and sharing these with us !!!

      And I know someone will ask about my “top tier”, this is the group I sent my friend last week. (No rank order, just alphabetical)

      Abominable Charles Christopher: full of charm and humor of the average man… errr, animal
      Camp Comic: the author really knows how to yank your feels around… and a hidden kitty in every strip! (also check out Skadi by the same author)
      Dominic Deegan: great story driven comic, great cast, really interesting magic system. can get hard to follow, but worth working through it
      Girl Genius: amazing creative details in both the writing and art (also check out Buck Godot by the same author)
      Guilded Age: the quality writing and art together transcend the cast to more than mere characters in a comic. And you really really want to know what happens in the next page of the story!
      Looking For Group: begins as a WoW parody, then goes way beyond. Delightfully wicked!
      Oglaf: NSFW … soooooo very NSFW, you don’t just lol, you guffaw out loud!
      Order Of The Stick: don’t let them stick figure art turn you away, it actually complements the solidly funny gamer humor
      Spinerette: just fun fun fun!!!
      Stand Still Stay Silent: gorgeous to look at, has the right blend of funny, charm and creepy. Skip the prologue
      Vanguard: superpowered, not superhero. This one will not make you happy in any way, and that’s why I like it
      Wormy: not actually a “webcomic”, it is from the old Dragon magazines, but they are all online now. Doesn’t get any better than these. Tragedy that he couldn’t make more :o(
      Zap: great to watch the evolution of the art, fun story (I liked Zap in the early part of the story better)

    I know someone said this was too easy (I wouldn’t call this easy after all of Gravedust’s wasted efforts, but I guess it’s subjective)… but I was really looking forward to seeing Byron again.

    Byron’s soul seems oddly at peace. I would of figured it would be fighting for it’s existence.

      I think it’s more repressed, coma like. The virus needs a host file to live, so it is parasitic.

    Looks like Gravedust made it safely past the blood-byron barrier.
