    Careful, Gravedust, or he’ll make you stand in the corner!

    Gravedust’s beard is like a pillow. Who knew?

      that’s no beard. that’s a gland similar to a camel’s hump. it stores water.

      I think of it as more of a large dreadlock formed from years of neglect.

    how could you tell off anyone named DesertHammer?

    it’s a good thing that the unelected sponges of gastonia pay servants to read for them, or gravedust might’ve been in more trou-ble. that diary could be quite a liability if the wrong people got ahold of it…and by the wrong people, i mean practically anyone.

        I first read the ‘erm’ as ‘hrm’ for some reason. Then I couldn’t stop seeing Gravedust as Rorschach from Watchmen.

    @ caltrop:

    you thought that was a beard? didn’t you know, desert-dwelling dwarves developed a gland just beneath their chins that stores water for times when they can’t get any.

    Somehow, Gravedust looks odd in panel #3. I think it’s the sudden lack of crinkles… is he becoming banditified?

              Based purely on physical appearances, pretty much.

              Would put Erica closer to Frigg, but the others are spot on.

    Love the new buttons, guys! They’re purdy.

    Anyhow, I love the glare Gravedust is shooting Bandit in the last panel. It’s akin to “We’ll see how smug you are with a quill in the eye, brat.” He make’s the perfect grumpy old man.

      aren’t most dwarves?

      “It’s true you don’t see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men.”

        Just think of all the acts of accidental homosexuality they must get into. At least dwarven transsexuals have it easy.

          I’d think the differences are obvious to dwarves though not to other races, texture of beards maybe, so it might be even harder.

          (This doesn’t apply to Pratchett dwarves of course, where androgyny is something of a running gag and feature of the race)

          Jean-Luc, truly awesome comment.

          Once the initial shock of someone putting that particular two and two together, I laughed for 10 minutes.
