Chapter 47 – Page 10
Hey, guildies! Do you want to see Guilded Age books on your local comic shop shelves? Don’t have your copies yet and want to support said LCS? Well now you’re in luck! This is the LAST TIME we’ll be in Diamond’s Comics Catalog and so this will probably the last chance we’ll have to put our badass books in the hands of retailers nationwide. IDK, that’s kind of a big deal to us!
Anyway, just present code STL045199 for Volume 3, and/or code STK459432 for Volumes 1 and 2 to your friendly neighborhood comic dealer, tell them how dope we are, and get them to put us on the shelf! Ordering your books through your local shop is good for us and them, it keeps the independent comics economy thriving! And that is DEFINITELY a big deal.
Don’t know where to go? Want to find more shops in your area to help spread the word? Use comicshoplocator.com to find more destinations! Or, y’know, Google probably works, too!
As always, thanks for reading the comic. Honestly, with all this promotion lately, sometimes I feel like I’m turning in a lot of extra credit assignments right before the final exam to eke out a B-. But hey, you can’t go out with a bang if you don’t try to explode! Or something!
Friendly insurrections rarely start terrifically.
Mad child? Where have I seen that before.
Donald Trump.
Iver is the Trump surrogate in this story and he’s already been dealt with.
Before anyone asks, yes I nuked the thread. I’m super not fucking interested in entertaining anything that was going on in it. Thanks~
Sorry Phil, will be more careful.
Then why not nuke the “Donald Trump” comment as well? It kinda started it.
That aside, I fully understand where you’re coming from. We can discuss that kind of drama elsewhere.
Daddy’s got the big goblet and it’s filled to the brim with his happy juice.
so question to the artist: was this done on real paper instead of photoshopped? There seems to be a texture underlying the image that hasn’t been there in previous strips.
I was wondering the same thing. Erika used paper textures on all of her pages, but that ended when the Waltrips took over.
Me too. I couldn’t help but notice the texturing. Still looks good. But noticeably different then the previous page.
This texture’s popped up a few times. I’m fairly certain it’s the “Texturizer” filter in Photoshop, set at low relief and high scaling.
There has always been faint background textures. Perhaps not on every page, but most of them.
“Yes, that last part. When you said “Assalah En-Qu’Lara”, you are to leave the ‘h’ silent. The World’s Rebellion we could stomach, but inaccurate grammar? Begone from our sight!”
Yeah considering granting you an audience in the first place to join Gastonia and ending their isolationist policy did kinda get them into the current mess…that last part is essentially asking them (from their perspective) to double down.
Daddy indeed has a lot to say and he’s going to need a BIG goblet of wine for “this”.
This is my Schooling Cup. The Nope-Bringer. The Goblet of Ire.
This could lead to an interesting reveal. Caneghem obviously has his own game in stock regarding Gastonian politics, and he’s not going to give that up now by overtly switching sides, so a refusal here is unsurprising. The question is… is he working in his own way to bring Iwatani down, or at least limit the damage? Or is he willing to go with the flow, and advising people to get out of the way before they get crushed is as far as he’s willing to step out of line for the time being? Or is he looking to take advantage by seizing power HIMSELF? Whatever it is, he’ll probably give a well-rehearsed answer as to why the Sky Elves should remain in the Gastonian alliance for as long as the audience remains public… but he may have different things to say in private.
There remains another possibility: isolationism.
Canegham isn’t naive so he is probably biding his time until there is a winner too worn down to adequately fight off their attack. With those ears you could mistake them for Romulans.
Should have let the Bard take this one Syr’nj. Who needs a cogent argument when you can just shred a wicked riff on your ax?
It’s like the sky elves are just… BORN scowling. Thank goodness the youngest generation seem to have mastered the art of moving their faces to express happiness and joy
That is a downright diplomatic effort coming from Frigg. I’m impressed.
The uniforms in the background look like a blend of Gastonian and Sky Elf fashion.
He’s probably waiting for Gastonia to tear itself apart; Sky elves are already separate from the rest of the nations. If the World’s rebellion and Gastonia continue to tear each other to shreds, the Sky elves need only make token sacrifices to appear involved while, overall, remaining untouched by the conflict.
If Gastonia goes down, they’ll either have to ally with the rebellion or become its only target. The sky elves may well be invested in the status quo.
