Wait, I’m sorry… Crack?
What kind of messed-up Librarians have you met?
I mean Archivists, I get that, what with the small workspaces and the lack of fresh air and the large assorted rabid archive marsupials, but Librarians?
Yeah they seem to have no trouble whatsoever in conveniently forgetting that fact do they… “Hey let’s just go ahead and take all the credit and reward for something somebody else mostly did” :/
I find myself rooting for Best more and more with every passing comic… I mean he’s a crass opportunistic swindler just like these guys, but at least he’s not a sneaky hypocrite about it.
So…you think they should hunt down the snarky narcissist who endangered all the children and tried to kill Byron instead of accepting the reward because otherwise they’d feel bad about getting the credit, even if meeting up with him again would probably lead to an even worse confrontation? Yeah, uh huh, ok.
Best is just a stuck up jerk. He didn’t do most of anything besides fight some pirates and throw some kids overboard. Syr’nj and Frigg located the kids. Byron and Gravedust rooted out the kid pirate and Gravedust killed Von Carnaj.
Even if Best wasn’t there, the pirate crew wouldn’t have been too difficult for the party to defeat. And, Best couldn’t even negotiate the price right.
No, Best didn’t “mostly do” anything except throw a stupid hissy fit when he was called out for being an arrogant fuckwad.
In all fairness, he did contribute the most to the quest.
In even more fairness, they’re not explicitly lying about nor discounting his part in the quest.
Really though, what it came down to was that he has a weak personality, and things might have remained smooth if Byron hadn’t taken issue with HOW he was doing things. Once instigated, he behaved in an inappropriate manner, and ragequit.
hear, hear! props to best for doing the whole job, just about, and still having the restraint to not give that arrogant sack of crap byron an extra face.
actually no, I wasnt being sarcastic. I genuinely feel that byron is more egotistical and arrogant than best; hes just far less honest and upfront about it.
I am suspicious his confrontation with best had more to do with being upstaged than anything else.
I’d rather see someone be arrogant and egotistical than have no principles. Best doesn’t have principles. He threw the kids he agreed to save over the side of a boat.
damn, now THERE’S a saying. although it does make one wonder what she means by grapes because lets face it, it could mean a LOT of things in a fantasy realm. kinda makes me wonder if there’s other fruit related / appendages sayings. hmm…. maybe “Outrageous orangotang oranges!” or “cesear’s crusty coconuts!”
… and i would also like to present proof that:
a) i am incapable of recalling and quoting dated cultural references properly
b) i need more and better fonts
Great fun. Perhaps the adventure would have been “less exciting” without Best…but I imagine that the party wouldn’t be in danger of politically hot water (or prison) if he had not taken the actions he did. By which I mostly mean the “chain of kids” thing, which was just…inspirational yet stupid.
I love how Sry’Nj is like the librarian who discovered life outside of books. Or crack
Her eyes in the last panel lead to believe the latter XD
Wait, I’m sorry… Crack?
What kind of messed-up Librarians have you met?
I mean Archivists, I get that, what with the small workspaces and the lack of fresh air and the large assorted rabid archive marsupials, but Librarians?
I think he meant “…who discovered life outside of books. Or who discovered crack”.
Not “Life outside of crack”.
Thank you, Flintte. That is indeed what the statement was going for
Ook?
Great Graiya’s Grapes?
It’s so corny, I love it.
Giving that Graiya has grapes, is Mother Nature cross-dressing?
it wouldn’t have been NEARLY as awesome without Best.
Yeah they seem to have no trouble whatsoever in conveniently forgetting that fact do they… “Hey let’s just go ahead and take all the credit and reward for something somebody else mostly did” :/

Oh-god, nerd rage debate.
I’m sure Best isnt done with the group, and that the group (especially Bryon) isnt done with Best.
I agree that ms. Science Elf is waaay too excited about that adventure. But, it was FREEKIN SWEET

To be quite honest… I don’t like Byron NOR Best.
hear, hear! props to best for doing the whole job, just about, and still having the restraint to not give that arrogant sack of crap byron an extra face.
I think you have the names mixed up. Best is the arrogant jerk here. Byron never even showed a bit of self-praise.
Your sacasm detector.
It seems to be malfunctioning.

Sry’Nj is adorable. The End.
Seconded.
third!
I call all other fourths, fifhts, and infinities.
And I love that it’s her that got super excited about the whole thing.
Wicked / Awesome.
Cheers,
Cote
Heh, nice to see that Syr enjoyed that side-quest.
And Frigg’s double-take-y expression in the last panel is classic.
Yup. kudos to Erica, that’s a terribly hard expression to draw.
Gravedust would like another bowl of soup, please.
Sounds like somebody had a good time.
damn, now THERE’S a saying. although it does make one wonder what she means by grapes because lets face it, it could mean a LOT of things in a fantasy realm. kinda makes me wonder if there’s other fruit related / appendages sayings. hmm…. maybe “Outrageous orangotang oranges!” or “cesear’s crusty coconuts!”
I smell image macro.
Sky. Limit.

Right click, save as
having right clicked and saved as, i thought i’d get in quick with this one… “isn’t anyone going to say…” http://diy2.despair.com/spage/65503873.html ;)
… and i would also like to present proof that:
a) i am incapable of recalling and quoting dated cultural references properly
b) i need more and better fonts
oops… think i messed up the link, i never used photobucket before

Hmm – Did they pay for that artwork? Despair Inc is pretty big
That was a good poster man. Nice job.
thank you :)
I agree with randonimity.
That adventure was incredibly awesome.
There, I said it.
“Well if no one ELSE is going to say it…”
It’s really your own damn fault, Byron.
For what?
Oh, right. The alt-text. Duh.
Bah, if Best can’t take some rightful criticism then he’s just a petty show-off.
Well, Best is only responsible for the second knockout. The first one and getting lit on fire are on Byron.
She’s geeking out… finally!
Have to admit that made bit me laugh!
Anyone else think THIS is how the group ends up in prison/ meets Bandit?
We’ve already seen how the group meets Bandit…she stole Syr’s hood and got arrow’d to the pole by Gravie.
I mean teams up with bandit on a permanent basis.
Added.
Alliterative.
Appeal.
Hey, I wonder if this is Syr’nj’s first adventure. Sure, she was in wars but those are pretty straightforward.
Great fun. Perhaps the adventure would have been “less exciting” without Best…but I imagine that the party wouldn’t be in danger of politically hot water (or prison) if he had not taken the actions he did. By which I mostly mean the “chain of kids” thing, which was just…inspirational yet stupid.
Without Best doing what he did they might have all been dead along with the children. Therein lie the irony and moral conundrums an’ all that.
Everyone is obsessed with grapes and an appendage. Maybe Graiya just has a vineyard.
Syr’nj has found her drug, look out world.
Well, Syr’nj WAS just on a Pirate Ship
Newb
Great Graiya’s Grapes?……….I’m sticking with Great Googly Moogly, but I do like the look on her face
Ill say it was awesome! i mean we got to see fighting, dialogue, and some misplaced sexual tension! SW33t!
