No, way too thin for Gravy’s. Clearly still E-Merl’s, just with the glove off-panel.
The fingers are clearly E-Merl, Rachel, Byron, and Frigg, who are, presumably not coincidentally, also the four closest to her in the panel before the poking begins.
Well, you sure got me. I just assumed that Frigg was listening in and adding some morale-boosting pep talk. I suppose that might not be a very ‘Frigg’ thing to do, but if a tail is pointing at a character and the dialogue logic works out for me, I’m not one to question it.
Passing day, the day when the rich dump all their ‘cruddy’ gifts onto the poor so they don’t have look at them? Like those overly festive sweaters that only seem to come around during the holidays.
And the fruitcake? I’d swear that there’s only been one, single fruitcake ever made in the whole history of humanity…And it just keeps getting passed around from one family to another every year because no one is brave (or stupid) enough to actually eat it.
I’m… pretty okay with a previously-used chamber pot as a gift. So long as it has been disinfected with bleach and A THOUSAND FIRES OF A HUNDRED YEARS’ TIME!!!
…
(ahem)
Yeah, something from the Victorian era wouldn’t bother me much.
That’s probably why Gravedust is so dour & serious all the time. He’s only just started to learn that he doesn’t have to be that way any more, but it’ll be slow progress.
So passing day is not passing kidney stones?
It could be, beggars can’t be choosers!
And peer pressure claims another victim.
Later…
“That was a swell story, Bandit. Say, how about we ditch this popsicle stand and go to the sock-hop and drink phosphates?”
“Oh no I couldn’t, it’s after curfew!”
“Don’t be a square, doll. Come ooooon…”
Bandit’s so cute though, just like everyone else, I’d like to poke her in the cheeks too.
Ummm…Somehow that didn’t come out sounding very good…
Good thing we can’t break the fourth wall in reverse. Anybody with a “Do Not Push” button that obvious needs to be poked.
Also, Bandit is adorable. Thank you.
That guy in the first panel is having a staring contest with that scorpion.
And he is winning.
That is totally a young Gravedust.
Back in the day when he was known as Quicksand.
never! wrong nose ;)
If you keep poking her, she says funnier and funnier things until she goes back to the beginning again!
This is not Warcraft in space… it is much more sophisticated.
Don’t we call that Starcraft?
Nope, that one’s description is Warcraft in outer space.
Normal Warcraft has enough dimensional portals that it is already:
Warcraft in space.
Besides she is closer to the sheep creeps:
Baah, Bah, Baa~h, Bahramyou, Baah, Baa~aH, Kafoom!
I KNOW IT’S NOT 3D!
The Mighty Scipio Accepts Your Meager Offering.
I bet she hand carved that.
Frigg’s ass is very insightful, it seems.
Oh, good. I’m not the only one who read that speech balloon as not coming from Byron, at first…
Well, Frigg is already of the reputation for being a wise-ass already…
Every Man
In Gastonia
Liked Axemas a lot
But the Gnome
Who lived south of Gastonia
DID NOT!
Is that top-left finger Gravedust’s?
No, way too thin for Gravy’s. Clearly still E-Merl’s, just with the glove off-panel.
The fingers are clearly E-Merl, Rachel, Byron, and Frigg, who are, presumably not coincidentally, also the four closest to her in the panel before the poking begins.
“WE’LL get through this.” Did Frigg just say that? For real? I think drinking mead all day has finally reviled her soft, cuddly side.
I’m thinking that speach bubble is supposed to by Byron’s.
Frigg’s too busy practicing 18th century smallsword techniques with a heavy mace (which would take much bigger wrists than she’s been drawn with…)
That was Byron’s second word balloon.
Although it does look like Frigg just farted that line.
Not gonna lie:
Did it by accident, kept it because it made me laugh.
Well, you sure got me. I just assumed that Frigg was listening in and adding some morale-boosting pep talk. I suppose that might not be a very ‘Frigg’ thing to do, but if a tail is pointing at a character and the dialogue logic works out for me, I’m not one to question it.
Frigg is actually pregnant with twins. They’re not enjoying the experience.
Haha, now that I can see. Frigg taking Burp speaking to the next level.
Ha ha ha! I can totally picture it!
Wait.
Ew.
I *can* totally picture it.
Try not to sphinct about it, maggPi.
I’ve seen people who could recite the whole alphabet while expelling a burp. Frigg takes that to a whole ‘nother level…
Warcraft 1 Reference!
I wonder if we’ll ever learn what the deal is with Scipio and scorpions. I just know that the name Scorpio comes to mind.
Hes obviously a Rudolf Schenker Fan.
He may or may not also rock his enemies like a hurricane.

Also, that is a serial killer smile on Rachel’s face in the second panel. For real.
WHY ARE YOU NOT MERRY???
Nah, that’s not a serial killer’s smile.
THIS is a serial killer’s smile:

Once upon a time, the Savasi knew what fun was.
Then, it was OUTLAWED FOR ALL TIME.
BECAUSE.
That’s probably why Gravedust is so dour & serious all the time. He’s only just started to learn that he doesn’t have to be that way any more, but it’ll be slow progress.
“Quit poking me!”
But it’s so much fun. Plus, you know the old saying: Facepoke a gnome, bring good luck to your home.
I’d poke her.
