By what sorcery does an ELF of all creatures grow facial hair so fast?!
Must be all the belts on that jacket.
It’s an Adraic brand Insta-Stache, used by the Heads of Houses to supply the Gastonian war machine.
I was wondering if the resemblance was deliberate…
I was thinking he looked a lot like Freddie Mercury (Example). And I’m gonna assume the innate awesomeness of the jacket created the stache, cuz that’s just how it rocks.
It’s gotta be an effect of the jacket.
…now I’m imagining that scene from The Santa Clause, only awesome, and with Don’t Stop Me Now playing
It’s a jacket of +5 Epic Stash. It should be avoided by women and men under the effect of a Belt of Gender Change. Stash Club for Men is not for everyone. You may accrue speed penalties from pelvic damage. If repeated trauma from Glowy Hammer Shit occurs, please see your local Medic.

Nice!
The mouse over text would indicate that was the intention.
He’s being attacked by a rabid banana slug!
He now looks both dapper and…pedophilic? Gaw. Creepfactor 9000 there. Shave the lip baby, Best! It is the only correct thing to do.
The 1970s called; they’d like their pornstache back.
They’ve already issued the recall & repossession of JJ’s pornstache & yours is next on their list.
Freddie Mercury has gone Super Saiyan!
Appropriate avatar you got there.
He has an ego that could match Vegeta’s. Am I the only one expecting him to sing Princes of the Universe when they go into battle
Or “We are the champions”.
No, that’s afterward.
Afterwards? This is Best we’re talking about… we all know he’s arrogant enough to sing it before the battle with full confidence tat there is absolutely no chance they could lose… and if they do lose he’d be arrogant enough to keep singing it.
OK, good, so I wasn’t the only one making that connection.
He’s OVER 200 DEGREES!!!!!
Unfortunately, in their current surroundings, they can only call him Mr. Kelvin.
Don’t stop him. Don’t stop him.
He’s gained access to chargen!
At first I thought you wrote “chagrin” … I’m not sure Best has access to that yet.
Wait, what’s this about ‘five more times’?
The story had a beginning. It has a middle. And it will have an ending.
Which will be reached in about 5 chapters.
And then there will be cake.
(The cake is actually a pie. Also, there is no spoon, so you’ll have to use your hands.)
Cake or pie, I use a fork. I use a straw with soup, because there is no spoon, regardless of how loud The Tick yells it.
I’m rejecting the thought of Guilded Age ending as being far too sad.
As one story ends so another begins.
Like one set in Cydonia in the early days done in green and black with lasers and stuff.
Yes but we will miss these characters and the bonds and relationships we watched them forge.
Sergeant Payet’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band?
If that singer’s gonna sing a song – and he wants us all to sing along –
We need to introduce him to – the one & only “billy shears”
To trim that snarly lonely mustache, man!
Beautiful.
But what would they think if he sang out of tune, would they stand up and walk out on him?
This is not the first time I’ve seen a man instantaneously grow a moustache from sheer force of will so I accept it.
Dr. McNinja?
And it was a young (gunslinging, raptor-riding bandito) boy who grew that one, so I too accept that this elfman’s five o’clock shadow jumped forward in time by a few weeks if it means Best is now Freddie Mercury.

For reals, good show on that one guys <3
Gordito > Best, though
Hands and feet down, yeah, but dressing Best up like a beloved musical icon did make him immediately more likeable.
He just needed to find somebody to love!
Now he looks like a sophisticated asshoe instead of a typical punk asshole.
Progress finds many forms
Can’t get asshoe out of my head now. Such an evocative new term you’ve coined there.
That’s one plce I’d never want to stick a hoe. Gardening would be damn-near impossible that way.
One night as I stayed at Veronica’s
The latest GA chapt was flung at us
I looked at the cover
and said “Oh man! Lover,
Think we’re finally getting Tectonicus!”
A hearty golf clap to you!
To answers Payet’s question better groomed than I’ve seen him and like a total creeper in the mustache.
“How do I look?”
Yellow. Also mustache.
I can’t wait until HR learns that Best stole his ‘stache…
The perfect avatar for that statement.
I’m almost jealous.
Anyone steals MY ‘stache & I’ll call the cops on ‘im. Not to say that he stole it from me, just that he *has* a ‘stache so they’ll arrest ‘im.
also could ask…since when he adapted to cold better than winter elves?
Because Magic (armor)
It’s because he’s too HOT…
Clearly, it’s because he’s now 200 degrees Fahrenheit…
Nice stage business with the warhammer there, guys.
Alt text 1: Fire is fought for by fire? So fire is being used to fight for itself? Of the fire, by the fire, and for the fire?
Alt text 2: Crazy thing called quest?
I’m torn… On the one hand, Freddie Mercury is awesome, but of the other hand, it’s Best…
What a crazy little thing.
Perhaps we’ll get to see a master stroke.
I think he needs to take a long ride on his motorbike.
you know /I probably should’ve seen this coming
The Winter Elves did. That’s why they didn’t want to be here (except Weo) to *actually* see it.
Now I’m trying to imagine Best on stage, trying to get a crowd of thousands to sing along with him and only getting to hear crickets in return.
I dunno… I mean, “complete tool” and “brilliant performer” aren’t necessarily exclusive things.
I feel like the Freddie Mercury signamancy doesn’t bode well for Best’s future.
It’s all up and up on his rhyme-o-mancy, and possibly the carnymancy, though.
gah! how much overlap is there in these fandoms. Grrlpower and EGS avatars and you throwing around Erfworld terminology…
Maybe I just read too many web comics.
They’re all (relatively) popular fantasy graphic novels that are serially published and free to read on the Internet. It’d be weird if their sizable fanbases did not have obvious overlap. I mean, who subscribes to one webcomic and stops there? The first one you follow is a gateway drug.
To think there are people out there in the Year of Our Lord 2017 who wear that look on purpose.
Hells yeah!
“DDDDDD:::::::::D:D:D: D:D: D: D:”
I see what you bulged there…
HERE WE ARE
BORN TO BE KINGS
WE’RE PRINCES OF THE UUUUUNIVERSE!
HERE WE BELONG!
Fighting to survive in a world with the darkest powers!
Is Frigg really that short?
no, it’s an illusion because Gravedust wearing a hat
or, she might getting hit by her own hammer (which she fling in the air earlier)
I really was not expecting sudden mustache.
I’ve already had to hit three people with the Spam button today so lemme just go ahead and refresh everyone on my comment moderation policy:
I’m old, I’m tired, and I don’t care. If I don’t like it, get spam’d. End of discussion.
Meaning you’re liberal in your determination of what’s spam, or that you don’t give much of a crap in distinguishing what’s spam and treat things you don’t like just the same as spam, regardless?
End. Of discussion. *glare*
What part of “end of discussion” are you having difficulty with, JV?
Ithink my last comment was deleted because it might have been taken as offensive, so I’d just like to clarify a few things.
a) What I said was intended as a joke. If I caused offense, I apologize.
b) The first part might have been construed as homophobic. It was a quote from the Dave Chappelle skit “The playa hater’s ball” (I won’t reproduce it here). In retrospect, it probably wasn’t a good idea to go with it.
c) The general tone of the comment was meant to be exageratively derisive/mocking of Payet Best, as I personally find him very dislikeable. It isn’t reflective of my opinion on the comic, the author, the (other) characters, or any actual people whatever their gender orientation. Once again, if I caused any actual offense, I apologize.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next battle, as Best rushes into the fray: “Just call me Mr. Fair Hair Fight!”
Gotta say, I love that Payet got his groove back.
Now just waiting for the singing “WE , ARE, THE , CHAMP – PIONS!
I’m personally hoping that’ll be the song he plays in the final boss battle.
Penk (screaming out): “No, you’re not! WE are the Champions of the Resistance!”
Auraugu: “No, you’re not! I’m the Champion of the Fuzzy Peoples, h’yeeessss?”
mouth.open();
while (best.stache == true)
{
emptyStare();
doubtReality();
}
If Best dies as the story reaches its end, I sure as hell hope he goes out in this pose.
I…I…
Blonde, Elven, Freddie Mercury? I did not know I needed to see that, but… I NEEDED TO SEE THAT!
*dies a little*
Very appropriate grav.
Did they ever ask about Rachel? It’d suck if they went back with Byron having revived and not get any information on Rachel for E-Merl…
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
…what the heck is my avatar?
Timmy the Squirrel.
I can see why Best said those things to Byron some pages earlier…
Gasp! Its the mustache of authority!
As your avatar tentatively caresses it, shining in its glory just off-panel.
“You WILL respect my authori-tay.”
~Cartman
Ringo? What are YOU doing here?
I’m not really a fan of Best, but he looks great here. I hope he can grasp a less dickish nature.
It just occurred to me! JJ’s stach was so glorious and powerful that once its host died, it transcended time and space to hop onto Best’s lip! ;-)
Now this is a theory I can get behind.
Dueling Pornstaches between HR and Best!!!!
PLEASE!!!!
Well, since Payet has a guitar, then someone will have to give HR a banjo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5vfw5f1CZo
Heh. Just noticed that the Patreon banner has been updated with the new Best look. Nicely done.
“How do I look, Ernie?”
“With your eyes, Bert.”
Look! It’s Petty Jerkery!
No one has pointed out that Frig almost brained Gravedust with her hammer, throwing it around and not bothering to catch it! Just, ‘Hey why don’t I just toss this device that regularly kill people into the air and not bother to worry about where it’s coming down… Sound like a cunning plan!’
Frig, you’re a psychopath.
You probably have to be a psycho for the tank role.
“Heheheeee…hey, you! Yes, you, you giant ogre piece of shit! Hit me, hiiiiit MEEEE!!!” …and all that.
He has the Best instache.
(and yes, i did read through the comic and come back just to do a pun.)
