Annotations Every Day - Written by T Campbell & Flo Kahn - Illustrated by John & Jason Waltrip

The closest I've ever seen to Rendar's concept of the government buildings with food was a combination Tastee-Freez/Post Office in Cambridge, MD.

    Gastonian soldiery seems to have great difficulty with perceiving threats. On the other hand the protagonists are having their least tanky characters lead the way so we’re heading towards a herp vs. derp scenario.

      You always send the thief up first to check for traps.

        Not just that, but the lightest can climb easier, thus when the get to the top (and silently dispatch any sentries) they can secure a rope so the fat-tanks can be hauled up

      Well it looks like E-merl is tossing up a cloaking spell of some sort so it may be difficult for them to perceive the threat

        Red wizard needs food badly! Blue elf shot food! Red wizard kills blue elf! Blue elf dies! Red wizard dies! Monsters win!

        …yes, that was a terrible game reference.

            Had that game for the Atari, but had to stop playing it with mum as she would keep getting lost and stuck :P

    For once, they don’t have to kill any orcs to get their stuff.

    You realize of course, the entire basement of the US Senate is one big dining hall? They have the most famous beans recipe in the whole world. Sundar isn’t the only person with this idea!

    Colonnus and Tamara: probably the two seers, but may in fact be the two children being lifted by Bert.

      Rendar actually talks to Tamara (questioning how she can know They have arrived if she is blind), and it’s actually Colonnus lifting the children (you saw him last page, he’s the guy with the medal)

    Bert doesn’t seem to be … that much thrilled by the experiment of Fightopia … :-/

      It’s well known that crippled or otherwise disabled people are afforded special insight and wisdom. Being blind is like the highest level of consciousness one can attain.

        Except for being dead which is like the ultimate state of cripplitude and makes you more powerful than anyone could ever imagine.

          Hence why the undead are always the most difficult enemies in games and literature.

    There is something about Rendar that makes me want to grab him and hug him and call him George (the Gorgeous). Could be I just have a soft-spot for engineers. Could be I just like his hair.

    I would love to see the rendering of a Dining-Senate.

    That guy in the background in the first panel must have a Staff of Child Magnetism.

    If you dug the Tastee-Freeze/Post Office combo, you really should check out the Orange Julius/FedEx facilty out in Goldsboro.

    Rabbit and Bandit are either going to be the newest couple, or become the most hated of rivals

    While touring Tasmania, we stopped off in a very small town that had a pub that was also a chip shop, ice cream parlor, and post office, with the ‘city hall’ upstairs, and had a schedule on the wall showing when the mobile library would stop there. Wish I could remember the name of the place.

    Food-hall plus discussion in the same place? Sounds like the Companions Guild in Skyrim

    Also, I’d like to point out the neat piece of artwork in the gutter between panels 3 and 4.
