This comic can’t go more than a few updates without someone substituting “axe” instead of “ask” despite the fact the two words don’t even sound remotely similar.
Seriously… it is one of the worst puns because it just doesn’t sound the same at all.
We all know how competent he was, but he proved the flipping out was a regular thing captain. Besides his self centered attitude from before was the real problem
Good way of putting it. Byron didn’t drop him, but failed to save him (amusingly, probably due to those silly armbands).
He shouldn’t be mad, but I guess I can see why he might be.
I’m more curious as to what Byron thinks about this, heh.
And yet the doom that befell Best was the result of Best’s own impetuous actions. Of course Best won’t see it that way since all good things are his fault and all bad things are other peoples’.
Byron dropped him. Apparently, Best is still nutters after seeing his destiny in the basin, and going through the vortex. Also doesn’t seem to remember or consider the fact that Byron tried, at risk of his own life, to save him.
Two weeks later Gav shows up from Hurricane Software’s new soccer management game. Everyone agrees that he’s still an improvement, despite the constant drinking and chanting.
I really hope that 2nd panel gets turned into an icon. Judgy McJudge face. Also I really like how the blowing snow is done. You can almost hear the wind howling. Definitely can hear Best howling. At this rate, the D&D campaign is gonna turn into “rocks fall, everyone dies.”
Let me guess Payet is not going to realize that Byron tried his best to save him. It is perfectly in character for him, but I still hope that’s not the direction this goes. I am over the “ungrateful asshole” trope.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU
Soulja boy off in this hoe
Watch me crank it
Watch me roll
Watch me crank that soulja boy
Then super man that hoe
Now watch me you
(crank that soulja boy)
Now watch me you
(crank that soulja boy)
Now watch me you
(crank that soulja boy)
Now watch me you
(crank that soulja boy)
Gonna be the “best” avalanche if they keep yelling like that.
But he has the Best rageface! Besides they just want to axe each other a question.
I don’t think Byron’s even really capable of mustering malice towards Best right now.
Or, really, any feeling other than confusion.
Seriously, that face… “shit elf” was never so apt.
This comic seriously cannot go a single update without a string of puns and I love it. lol
Is there always such a flurry of commenting?
We like to Payet forward round here.

Well, “can I hatchet you a question” makes even less sense. “Axe” is the lesser of two evils.
If you have a plan you can hatchet, but axing a question sounds more like choking on it.
0.5 seconds back in action and already bringing a mountain of trouble down on their heads. Payet Best is snow slouch.
Ugh. He’s back.
Yay!
No.
Those icons/faces are perfect.
So is that one.
I just hope Best can kick ass like he used to.
You mean like he was captain? Because Wav was way more useful than Best ever was.
Hardly, Best was awesome until he flipped out in the end: http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-11-page-11/
We all know how competent he was, but he proved the flipping out was a regular thing captain. Besides his self centered attitude from before was the real problem
Best was far more competent then people gave him credit for.
As I said to the captain: Competent? Yes. Stable? No.
That’s funny, I’ve never seen a butterfly turn back into a caterpillar before.
(Yeah I’m repeating myself.)
Yeah, drat. I was hoping he’d stay WAV.
At least he’s conveniently shirtless in the middle of a blizzard.
Exposure has never been so helpful!
Awwwww… They missed one another.
Don’t worry. Their aim has improved since they were last together.
So, that was a Thor thing he did with his axe – kind of a “to me, my hammer” thing. Didn’t know he could do that.
“I am Thor! I’m tho, tho thor at you, thtupid Byron, that I thtarted talking with a thtupid lithp!”
I’m guessing he takes more after Val Hallen than Thor.
More like Van Halen.
Nah, Val Hallen covers it.
That picture, and that pun, go perfectly together.
I recline corrected.
Maybe he can’t do that… just like Daedalus “can’t” do the things he’s been doing.
Stop!
Hammertime!
This will end well.
YYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! YYYYOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! YYYOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
YYYYYOOOOOO – Damn, it’s cold here!
When he swaggers through the woods, his nipples knock down all the trees…
Looks like Best has thrown off his glam rock roots and gone full Iggy.
i hope not! Gardenia isn’t the Best song.
That was my first thought last page. The resemblance is positively uncanny.
It would be a definite improvement.
Let the axening begin: https://youtu.be/gsHeFLL3zGk
Goodbye WAV. You will be missed.
Agreed. And yet, we (re)gain a character that helps to drive conflicts… ARGH, TORN.
Also, I’m worried there’s a sudden increase in the danger of an avalanche…
Man; and here I was hoping that Best, when he came back, would “Have Learned an Important Lesson” about not being an asshole.
Still can happen I guess.
Yeah, here’s hoping…
I actually liked him in general, but his head was just far too big.
Don’t worry. He’ll probably come back after Best dies after the avalanche caused from his indignant shouting kills him.
And the award for “shortest lived resurrection” goes to…!
Nothing good ever comes from saving a bards life.
Yeah, back then, Best screwed up anybody else’s chance to use the oracle. How bad is he going to mess it up for them THIS time?
Echo… Echo… Echo…
Avalanche… Avalanche… Avalanche…
Why is he so mad?
Well, the last time Best saw Byron, it didn’t end well.
Good way of putting it. Byron didn’t drop him, but failed to save him (amusingly, probably due to those silly armbands).
He shouldn’t be mad, but I guess I can see why he might be.
I’m more curious as to what Byron thinks about this, heh.

Byron dropped him. Apparently, Best is still nutters after seeing his destiny in the basin, and going through the vortex. Also doesn’t seem to remember or consider the fact that Byron tried, at risk of his own life, to save him.
And lost a glove for it, to boot.
You you you,
I’m in love with you you you,
I could be so true true true
To someone like you you you.
Byron’s like “You want to do this NOW?”
MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Avalanche falls, kills Best.
Two weeks later Gav shows up from Hurricane Software’s new soccer management game. Everyone agrees that he’s still an improvement, despite the constant drinking and chanting.
Hehe, good on you for not literally calling him chav.
Well, so much for hoping he’d keep some of WAV’s logical personality.
Aah… Best. I missed you. Goodbye, WAV, you were cute and all, but I’d take Best over you any day, plus WAV’s fanboy tears are well, the best.
I really hope that 2nd panel gets turned into an icon. Judgy McJudge face. Also I really like how the blowing snow is done. You can almost hear the wind howling. Definitely can hear Best howling. At this rate, the D&D campaign is gonna turn into “rocks fall, everyone dies.”
I can’t help but hear Payet’s “YYYYOOOOUUUU” in Ren Hoek’s voice.
Happy axey joy joy
His face is a perfect fit!
I hear this song

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

You forgot to capitalize Best. ;)
Axemas in August.
That expression just makes me chuckle. It really is the…Best.
Seriously, I’d buy that on a shirt.
“I WANNA TAKE YOU TO A GAAAAAY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!”
Best pairs his newfound lust for life with some hate
Is someone getting the Best, the Best, the BEST of YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!?

OOOOU’ve got what I need
But you say he’s just a friend

…Did I just Zinyak Best?
“….. How ya been, buddy? Can you believe it’s been five years?”
Are the harpies just gonna stand there? Maybe get out the popcorn?
Yuck. I’m not going to eat THIS.
I hear you. It’s even not green any more. Bah. Let’s get some bagels.
Later, this was known as the Best-foghorn-effect. Summoned the winter elves in no time.
