That hand at the start of the chapter does not look like a happy hand.
You feel the fingers are frowning? The fist is furious? The appendage is angry? The limb is livid? Or perhaps the digits are depressed, down in the dumps? The mitt is morbidly morose?
It was a hangry hand.
Or just a hungry hand. Look at it trying to eat that map!
It can’t splay out widely enough to grab all of the map at once.
Why can’t I hold all this Gastonia?
If you can’t hold the kingdom in your hand, get a smaller map
‘He’s got the whole world, in his hand…
He’s got the whole wide world, in his hand…
He’s got the whole world, in his hand…
He’s got the whole world, in his hand…
I refrained from changing it to world wide web… but I still thought it.
Eli…
“Alexander wept when he heard Anaxarchus discourse about an infinite number of worlds, and when his friends inquired what ailed him, “Is it not worthy of tears,” he said, “that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not yet become lords of a single one?”
Hey, I got Gravy!
Looks like it’s Bedard’s hand. Considering he’s the one who looks like he’s trying to manipulate Miyamoto, it’s probably going to backfire horribly.
Have we met anyone from Bedard’s household before?
Yes.
Bedard.
The alt-text confirms it.
The butler DID do it!
Huh… I would have expected him to crown his carpet king.
You know, I read the alt-text wrong at first and thought he suggested crowning his butTer king, rather than his butLer. It gave an entirely different sort of humor.
OMG I *totally* did the same thing, and only realized my error when you pointed it out! Still… sofa king would not be entirely unexpected. :D
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butler!
You seem so smug, so proud of your puns. Ha! As if butler wouldn’t melt on your tongue!
It would appear the butter did it.
Smooove
Who shall be the once and future King?
The butler, it’s always the butler
Anyone else hear a load sucking sound after reading that last bit?
*loud*
No. I heard a load sucking sound, but it was quiet.
It is one load of something sucking up to another load of something
The dialog suggests they’re in Miyamoto’s house….who is Bedard talking about?
Hmm, we’re twins. And that is a good question.
Wait, no, I’m mistaken. Bedard’s just buttering up Miyamoto before putting him in the oven.
First, Bedard thanks Miyamoto for *bringing* the quail, which implies they’re at Bedard’s house.
Secondly, household ≠ house. “Someone in my household’ would usually refer either to a member of his family or one of his servants, not “someone currently in the building”.
Gonna wager these two are the next up against Iwatani’s wall.
That would be fair to assume, I would say.
They’d probably be the first up against the wall if they crowned the butler king, too.
I got me
Hrm. The thing is, when people get pissed off at the government and start putting people up against walls, they generally start at the top or bottom and work their way up/down until they get bored. Right now these two are technically peers, but if one is above the other, that means the one on top is the public face for all the shit the entire group does. He may become the white elephant king.
Royalty mentions are everywhere, recently… I heard that a domestic Prince died, bless his soul.
Hmph. Back to this bunch of selfish, greedy, manipulative, elitist, sneaky bastards. “Altruists working for the greater good of Gastonia” my fat, geek ass.
A pox upon you and your schemes. May your plots unravel thanks to the smallest, most innocent, and most unforeseen events. May your goals come to naught. May your stature and power crumble.
I still ca’t believe that Sundar was right.
no comment wanted to see my new gravitar
Same.
I must find out, who I am.
I declare: I am immensely okay with this.
Leafy Frig boobs. I approve.
…I also wanna know if I’m still shouting via gravitar face.
And I, as who I really am.
OK, that was unexpected. I’ll have to practice being dour.
I got this one.
And I got…
Yeah, not bad.
Pouting Bandit is pouting.
OMG I’m angry!
Narf!
waaaa Ganarath has the same gravitar
And just who are you talking about, Mister Bedard? Kinda weird to commend Miyamoto on his forward thinking and then segueing into “oh btw, I know someone in my household that would make a better leader than you.” Unless being the shadow behind the throne is more Miyamoto’s style.
I think he’s talking about Miyamoto. Miyamoto brought food, which implies he’s not in his own house. Since there is only the two of them, then I assume this means they are in Bedard’s household.
The thought had occurred to me but “household” for me means the people who normally live at that residence. Miyamoto is a guest and therefore not part of Bedard’s household. It’s possible Bedard lives by himself (can’t recall offhand and don’t have time to check the archives). But he may have family and/or servants. Unless he sets his own table and washes his own dishes. Someone stuck those tail feathers back on that bird carcass.
I admit, the use of “household” throws me off too.
Perhaps Bedard is trying to arrange it so that Miyamoto becomes a member of his household? Maybe he would support Miyamoto as king on the condition Miyamota married into Bedard’s family.
I was thinking along those lines too.
Politics… GAWD!!!
“There’s this dude named Robert. Bit of a drunk, but he’s good with a warhammer and hunts boar in his spare time. I’m sure he’ll have a long and uneventful reign.”
“his son’s a bit of a dick, tho”
“…because the Chronothief has just broken into my house, and his leadership qualities are beyond question.”
Interesting is this is the point at which we see Bedard really make a stupid stumble but I think T wants to start really sweeping the slate clean with these yahoos.
“And I believe, Mr. Bedard, that you have just sentenced your entire extended family to death… oops, did I say that out loud?”
Iwatani would not like this conversation one bit.
On the contrary, this information is very useful for ensuring he remains ahead of the competition in any future developments in Gastonian politics.
Iwatani strikes me more as the “power behind the throne” type. He’d have no problem with a king, as long as that king does as he’s told. If not, the king’s heir may be more compliant once he inherits the throne.
I’m beginning to wonder if perhaps Iwatani has lost focus and may be influenced by the cultist more than he realizes.
I think Bedard is going to be dead, and Miyamoto is going to be Miya-no-toe.
I don’t know why Iwatani’s only going to take Miyamoto’s toes, but then I’m not a politician.
Testing, testing…
Avatar is better than none.
Two vatars is where things start to get interesting, though.
This is just a test, we now return you to your regularly scheduled webcomic
We’re twins!
A Butler-King might not be a bad idea. They would probably remember to serve the people before themselves.
You win, I think.
This is slightly better than the return to Sepia World I was expecting.
Watch me pull a Half-Elf outta my hat!
*waits in rapt attention*
Aww, poor Miyamoto, getting played
And this monarch happens to come from his household? How convenient!
Quail? That is a pheasant they are sharing. Is he the pheasant-plucker?
Well, at least he’s pleasant…
His enemies quail before him.
Bedard probably meant to say house….unless it really is the butler.
Nah, I’m going with a charismatic-yet-easily-manipulated Bedard, Jr as the intended monarch. Or possibly a Bedard nephew. The only possible way I believe he’s talking about Miyamoto is if our esteemed authors forgot “household” isn’t just an old-timey synonym for “house”, which I seriously doubt they did.
Or Miyamoto recently married into the family, and we just haven’t found out yet?
Doubtful.
1) If that was the case, decent storytelling requires working in a mention of the marriage before Bedard suggests installing a monarchy.
2) Miyamoto’s been an accomplished adult and Bedard’s equal for some time, meaning he’s already got his own household. AFAIK Gastonia is not remotely the kind of matriarchy where a newly married man leaves his own family to join his bride’s household.
3. “Someone in my household would make a great king” is a really weird thing to say when the Someone you’re talking about is the only other person in the room with you and is your equal in age, intelligence, and social position.
I stand corrected by Wednesday’s page.
Monarchs you say? Why would you want a butterfly? They have such terrible lifespans.
No no, a butlerfly. You misunderstood.
Diabolical! I just want to pimp-slap the glasses of that dude!
Plot twist: There’s another pair of glasses underneath.
I also think he’s speaking of Miyamoto.
And I also am posting just to check my avatar.
Yay Rachel! Miss ya!
Is it just me or is that quail rather large?
It is, indeed, a huge quail
Size-wise it’s more what I’d expect from a pheasant. Quail are usually the fist-sized ones that you eat bones-and all because it’s not worth the trouble to pick the meat off.
Also, the tail feathers are pheasantlike. Quail are the ones with the little dingly-bob thing that hangs out in front of their faces.
So someone from Sepia-world accidentally misnamed pheasants quail?
I CAN SEE!!!!!
*smacks into tree*
Nope, I was wrong.
Does anyone know when the store will be back up
Iwatani is obviously trying to turn his 2D map into 3D, starting with a mountain range. Silly Iwatani, you can’t do that without distorting the surrounding landscape!
I got a rock
I got an island.
No, just a rock. And it ROCKS
But do you have a jar of dirt?
I have a dream. Does that count?
I just got the feeling that Iwatani is a red herring. The bald guy has had a whole lot of screen time but no limelight whatsoever. That coupled with his speech and the cover image being his sleeve makes me think he’s about to make a play.
it’s shit like this that makes me play for the horde.
No big difference really. Basically it’s the same with the horde, only there’s more screaming and skull-bashing involved.
Dictator, here we come!
Hmm who did I get.
And this is why I put enough poison in your grub to kill a cohort of landsharks.
new comment avatars!!
Just caught up yesterday, started last week. A fine comic, but when is Auraugu, Champion of the Fuzzy Peoples, going yo get his own spinoff? Hyes!
This is going about as quail as can be expected.
I have a natural inclination to mistrust flattery.
Taken together with how Iwatani is stabbing people in the back lately, I’m doubly inclined to mistrust flattery.
Any sane person would regard, “Hey you’d make a great king! Yes you!” with skepticism.
