Chapter 47 – Page 35
Hey, folks. I want to make sure y’all remember that we’re headed to AWESOMECON this weekend! We’ll be in Pride Alley (The “B” doesn’t stand for bacon!), and we couldn’t be more delighted for the honor. And AwesomeCon itself is literally one of the best shows we’ve ever done. Do yourself a favor and come out for it! Come find us today!
Title drop!

Eh, Titanicus’ bard songs were a lot more powerful when they were…

Underground!
Longest… intro… ever. 7 years, 9 months, and 12 days.
It seems most movies I see these days don’t show the title until the end anyhow.
No one has time for opening credits anymore!
Kingdom Hearts II’s intro felt longer
Roll credi-wait, that’s not the end?
+1 sin
This is the Best song.
I confess I have been getting a Queen vibe off of them. :)
absolutely a Queen vibe. yes.
Unless King Taro can come up with a counter rock anthem his days are numbered.
I don’t think he has the chops for it, but a good industrial beat could suit him.
He strikes me more as the opera or classical song with people turning up dead or being brutally murdered while he sits in silence, pondering the weight of his dead family and the blood on his hands.
…who am I kidding? 1812 Oveture while he’s riding the cannon of a tank and cackling madly.
Man, the Kingdoms of Arkerra end game raid looks super cool guys.
Eh, it’ll be too easy till they get the world first and what they did is suddenly “‘sploits” and it’ll get you banned.
Roll credits.

Interesting that the human commoners of Gastonia are apparently mad that the gnomes were pushed out. Maybe the corrupt nobility underestimated how racist their common people actually were?
I think that’s a really optimistic view of the society, given what we’ve been shown of the common people of gastonia in the comic so far, but I guess it fits well enough with where the story is apparently going.
I think you meant overestimated. But yeah, don’t remember the general Gastonian populace ever caring much for non-humans. A colonial attitude seemed prevalent and I was under the impression that the ruling families’ propaganda machine had the populace firmly in hand.
However I do see them being outraged by a sudden centralization of power what with Gastonia being a merchant republic of sorts with a strong middle class presumably.
I’m not sure if the populace valued gnomes as citizens, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t value them as a source of goods and/or services that are otherwise hard to find.
I mean, the Gastonians did seem pretty racist, but the gnomes were their long-term allies. I think despite thinking of gnomes as “others”, they still thought the gnomes were pretty cool “others”. There never seemed to be any hatred there. Think of the Almost Politically Correct Redneck meme; that’s most likely what the general attitude was.
They didn’t have to respect Reynolds as an equal in order to be enraged at what’s happened to him and the gnomes.
Never mind the fact that they’re in the middle of an ongoing war that had started to affect the lives of the people in the city (remember all the unaccepted quests from before the Adventurer’s Guild?) and have now lost all three of their allied races. Even the ones that don’t at all like those other races are going to feel like their leaders fucked up hard. Gastonia is about to lose the war simply by virtue of pissing everyone off before ever coming close to winning it.
Perhaps the common people realize how much the gnomes contribute to the general ease of living with their technological superiority. With them gone, a lot of the comforts may start to break down. Not to mention a lot of work that they did will now fall on the human’s shoulders.
Careful now.
Hmmmm… Timely.
A Father Ted reference? Careful now.
This is the song
That goes under the credits
And these are the credits
So this is where it goes
The revolution will not be televised but it will have a rock soundtrack.
*Roll Credits*
I don’t know if Gastonia employs any troops with the dance-fight special. This could be a short fight.
I really like the fact that in the last panel, either reading entirely across or in their block they feel like they both fit.
This little light of mine.
I’m gonna let it shine.
Oh, this little light of mine.
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine… let it shine… let it shine…
Oo, self reference! How meta!
Well, the whole week was a music video in comics form, and so I am not a bit disappointed. I am, in fact, very appointed. ^_^
A Father Ted reference!
Yay, I love getting reference jokes!
Let’s drag that tyrant out of the White House-I mean off the throne!
Up with this sort of thing.
Still really want to hear this put to music.
Electric guitar and big drum as the instrumental.
I can’t imagine it but I have a feeling it would come out really badass?
I kinda imagine it as a minstrel song, similar to the one singing about Sir Robin in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.
