    Is this a more distant future, or are the gray sideburns a side effect of his going Light Side Sith Warrior?

      Can I admit Mild amusement over that fact? Because I am thoroughly amused but also wondering about the effectiveness of that Teeny Tiny axe.

        While amusing… being someone that shaves with a safety razor, this style of blade would mess your face up something fierce lol. A rounded blade would be hell to use.

          It turns out when you invest enough points into a skill tree, it becomes your best tool for *everything*.

      Byron’s axes keep weirding me out, when I think about his backstory, that he murdered his uncles with them, then named his axes after his uncles.

      Here, I’m thinking of the opening scene of “Event Horizon”, where you see a scientist shaving with an old-fashioned straight razor. It’s somehow vaguely unsettling. Later, you find out there’s a history to that razor.

        Don’t be Dorks, that’s Syr’nj’s Short cape she always wears. You can see the Chain shirt underneath it. XP

      Nono, the shocking twist is there was an accident, and they’re now sharing a body.

      That’s why they ‘shall never live apart again’ and only Byron is shown.

    Well, alt-text, he IS well seasoned. He’s the O.G. (Oregano Gangsta) of this strip; he partially saved Rosemary in time; and (gar)licked all who as-salted him.

    lookit. Sepia drawings are illustrations of Gravy,s diary. Which in reality is text only. Color is action in reaj time.

        Oh shoot it almost was!
        I wasn’t even going for that, oddly enough, that’s just how I write.
        I’d go with Stoneyb’s suggestion

    Gravy’s entry is wrong. Byron and his stubble seem to have parted ways, never to meet again.

    No, no, Byron, you need a barn and a coop. Crops don’t sell for near as much as animal products and artisan goods! (And truffles.)

      Who said anything about produce. Those are toxic weeds used in Syr’nj’s potions.

      I suspect a kobold cave is more to Byron’s liking.

    I’d understand if he had sighed, but why did he *say* the word “sigh”? (I don’t think onomatopoeia is a good argument, since the sound doesn’t sound like the word.)

      He did sigh. “Sigh” signifies sighing in Peanuts, with and without the little tumbleweeds Charles Schulz sometimes put around it. Good enough for Schulz, good enough for us.
