          They do not. “Whoop” is a loud shout, or at best a misspelling of “whup”, which is “to beat up”. A “can of whoop-ass” is a container of crane butt, which is most likely illegal because those birds are endangered.

            This reminds me of the time I got told off for saying “gub” instead of “gib”… on the grounds that “gib” stands for “giblets”, at which point I noted that “gub” stands for “gubbins” and could be used in the same context.

      I think it’s been at least a few minutes since he threw it in. Maybe one of the nuns did something stupid, like try to use it against him. We didn’t get to observe the fray in it’s entirety, so he could’ve gotten it back in any number of ways. Perhaps a wizard did it, or the axe fell through a plot hole. who can say?

      Oh, I figure Byron had himself plenty of opportunity to pick up a stray axe, I’m not terribly worried about that.

      I’m wondering more about Syr’nj having empty hands in one panel, and then holding a sword right away in the next. I mean, I suppose she can just get it out of her pouch, but to have it just *appear* there without showing her drawing it seems a continuity error.

    In an entirely tangental move, can I ask how it is you do the speech bubbles for a comic like this? The text always seems to fit them perfectly, so it’s unlikely you’re drawing them manually.

    I could really use a good program to make speech bubbles in comics.

      i picked up a cool trick that the dude from boxerhockey uses, he makes the ordinary oval balloons, but he does a slight squash on them to make them a little less digital looking. same clean line, same variable shape+size, but you can really see the difference.

    What is up with Gigundus speech? The inverted N in his name and the Φ – Phi instead of O. He must have a very funny way to talk. Maybe he got a flu or something?

      Considering how often Byron gets flack for being a non-berserking berzerker, I think the Author will make the fight scene epic in his favor.

      Of course, the rogue will come in for the killsteal, but take victorys where you can get them, eh?

    This is one of the few times byron has gone up against a single opponent, and this one he may have no qualms against killing, unlike Best. Not only that, but this guy is heavily armored. Which means its gonna take power to get through that armor. Its likely he sees this as a time where using his berserker rage as an asset.

    Well, Syr tried. I really think him elbowing our nice woodelf in THE FACE is what got him a little hot under the collar. I mean, everyone loves a nice person and Syr is nice. Also, I would so pull a bandit on that one. All my characters are always like “A god, what? dueces.” totally reasonable response.

    Frigg looks caught somewhere between “F— you” and “WTF” and it has a pinch of “I’m too tired for this.” Y’all can come up with a profane way for her to say that, I have no idea.

    Byron, you’ve been my favorite this whole time despite your constant unconsciousness. Please kick his rear. oxox

    And I can’t wait for Monday and I feel like my dog waiting for me to open the door so we can go for a walk.

    personally, I dunno if we’re going to see Byron go berserk. Frankly I doubt it will EVER happen – I think that’s the point.

    I’d be delighted to be wrong, of course. But I’ll settle for expert thinking fighting (Byron’s typical specialty) versus the heavily armored priestlord OR rage-driven psycho-fighting. Either coming from Byron will, I think, leave me giddy.

    Looking forward to Monday!

      I think the problem with Byron going berserk is that he’d try to kill everything… including his party. It’ll probably come up, but perhaps not just yet.

      He might get “very angry” through.
