      That plate’s piled pretty high, Gravey. I never sausage a breakfast.
      —
      So much to love about this strip. Frigg’s unique listing system. The double-meaning of Mess Hall. Gravedust’s apparent access to hammerspace, and of course the final punchline. So using that one next time I’m asked.

          Thoughtful of gravy to not leave Frigg to pork around looking for scraps. Otherwise she would have had a beef with the rest of the team, and I’m pretty sure they would have chickened out of getting grilled by an angry early morning Frigg.

            Eh, I guess she has to ham it up in the morning if she’s going to filet mignon the opposition during the day. Gotta make sure the beef keeps working though, otherwise she’ll become a very flabby cut.

              Gotta make sure she’s in peak condition to keep from getting slaughtered by their enemies, and that she can give em a good tenderizing in return. If they don’t have her to take the hits for them they’ll realize that they get to be on the cutting board and then they’ll be bacon her to come back.

                Frankly, I think it is wise of them donut leave her starving, I bread the thought of Frigg going without breakfast. Muffin else to say on the matter.

                  Not getting fed will really grain your gears. Pearish the thought of having to wake up coffee and wheezing with nothing to eat. I’d grape and groan all day if I had to deal with that, which is why I always orange what I’m eating the night before. Cheese, no breakfast sucks eggs.

                    I have to say that perhaps over-sleeping was a missed-steak
                    On Frigs Part? That cinnamon roll looks mighty tasty, Is the recipe on a kneed to dough basis because I’d at yeast like to know how it tastes. Maybe if she had bean up just a little earlier she wouldn’t have been latte and could have gotten come coffee. Did I do that right? I’m new to the Pun thing? I feel rather dirty now XD

                      I think you had some knife ones. Keep it up and spoon you’ll be punning regularly. ;) Bun I really think Frigg should learn to wake up earlier. I mean it’s a band of adventurers. You don’t citrus and relax when there’s a job to be well-done. She’s gonna needs to be raisin her game and getting cereal if she wants to keep up with this new bran of adventurers.

                      Frigg should know butter than to assume her teammates wouldn’t cover her bacon. God knows she would have been toast many times if not for a timely save. She still seems to be eggspecting she has to fend for her own sustenance.

      You’re probably going to be waiting for a while then, she doesn’t seem too talkative about it right now and I’m pretty sure Gravy has the discretion not to push her when she’s this annoyed.

      @Amaster, Gravy has the most experience with the beyond so it makes a little sense that he’d know something about frigg’s situation. Maces don’t go big and glowy for nothing.

      @AC I’d think frigg wouldn’t be too talkative at any time. The best time to talk to her would be at a time like this, when her defenses are both literally and figuratively down.

        I like how the only acceptable breakfast for her is apparently meat and sweet pastry. At the same time. Also, she doesn’t take crap from anyone, making it a good thing she doesn’t share Byron’s little problem.

        Im gonna throw out guess, just to see if Im right when their ages are revealed. Frigg: mid to late 20s, Byron: early 30s, Frigg: if we’re going by elf years, Id say about 300, Bandit: late 20s, Gravedust: 50s, and Best is about Friggs age. however, since there all in a game, this might not be relevant.

      We saw Frigg mostly unclad in chapter 6. (Best shot for the purposes of our discussion, I think, is this one.) While smaller, on a relative scale, than Bandit, she’s not flat by any real measure. (Actually, in a few shots she looks smaller than Bandit on an absolute scale…gnome girl’s got it goin’ on…)

    This comic makes me laugh because my band would go to the Guild of St. Cuthberts at Faire after they had eaten their lunch and mumph leftovers. (Our drummer’s girlfriend worked the kitchens.) It looked pretty much like the tables here. And then the girlfriend would bring us our platter… and it looked pretty much like Gravedust’s.

    Good times.
