1. Awesome page!!!! Kudos to all you guys!
2. There is joy in Mudville – Mighty Friggy did NOT strike out!
3. Panel 6 – OOOO! The green meteor leaves – CHEMTRAILS! Poor Magda!
For those familiar with Fenway Park, this is equivalent to hitting it over the Green Monster and onto Landsdowne Street. Possibly onto the Mass Pike. Or even over the river, where it bounces off the MIT Dome.
(There are seats on top of the Green Monster these days, and the people who sit there duck just like that when one goes over.)
Never understood the rules of that game. Guess it’s an american thing.
Like cricket to the British…
Bah. Who cares anyway.
It’s basically about yelling, running and hitting things with a stick. I’m okay with that.
I have played/watched tons of baseball, was raised in Baseball Culture, love every single baseball movie… And I still don’t know what the fuck “Balking” is.
Considering this is the Internet and no one came up with an answer like “OMG how can you NOT know such a thing” so far…well, maybe nobody knowswhat it is. Sport needs a few mysteries I guess :-)
Somewhere in the distance the mushroom cloud appears. A man can be seen on his knees, hands on his cheeks in a pose reminiscent of “The Scream” by Edvard Munch. His small shop decimated by the blast as his cries of “MY CABBAGES” are heard faintly over the roar of the explosion.
And so began C.G.’s dark and highly popular story as he descended down the path of searching for great technologies from another dimension. He sacarfices his own heads of cabbage in a green and leafy slaughter along the way, and eventually with the help of his Cabbage Humunculus, C.G. creates a portal to a world of great and deadly machines. Armed with guns and devices unlike any other from his home, C.G. begins a highly relatable Twitter campaign to make himself God Emperor. He convinces everyone they’re eating cabbages, but through some somewhat confusing means these cabbages also represent human life from this other dimension, with their different shades like red cabbage symbolizing people or something. Quoting great farm-losophers like George Washingtroll, and twisting the mind of his Cabbage Bride to convince her to do horrible atrocities for him, C.G. believes he is unstoppable, even as somewhat-beknownst to him, Lettuce Rebels in the other world work against him, while simultaneously believing they are Cyborg Vegetables.
Oh and Shanna is there too around halfway through the story, but her head is a pear, as she tries to stop C.G. from blocking out the sun probably.
This story is full of emotion, action, and hilarity.
This is: DUSK BOWL
“If this world is nothing but shadows, then I shall simply block out the sun and create the greatest shadow of all.” -C.G. Dionysus, with his hands deep in a mutilated cabbage as his magnificent beard glistens in cabbage juice.
Frigg may be one of my favorite comic book characters of all time. And considering that I started reading comic books 56 years ago, that’s saying something.
Because then we couldn’t see it was her! Same reason why space suits in TV and movies include lights INSIDE the helmet (which would be REALLY annoying and the reflections would make seeing out of the helmet hard). Its a pretty standard trope.
Hopefully, Ardaic will realize that, because it hadn’t even occurred to him to try that, he’s not really the good guy, here.
Or, he tries to kill her as she lies exhausted and his men turn on him for being a callous prick.
I suspect that is what’s coming.
I was under the impression that Ardaic had given someone else the S.C. power for this battle.
He wanted too. But he was told to suck it up, put on the armor and get out there.
I got the impression that Jarvis didn’t care what choice Ardaic made, as long Ardaic sucked it up and got over his “midlife crisis.”
Having said that, I think it’s Ardaic under the helm.
It’s Ardaic. Not-Ardaic wouldn’t know who Frigg is except by reputation and wouldn’t think to insult her for “Peacemaking”.
Well, the tags for yesterday say Ardaic, so I guess it is.
wtf :-)
FLCL
Because we can sing out the future
because the kids don’t need a master
stopping waiting, we’re the little busters (oh yeah)
YES!!! This is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw this page.
Never realized how badly Guilded Age needs a soundtrack by The Pillows until right this moment.
^
^^^!
TBH, if I could pick any band to score my comic, I would go with The Flaming Lips.
Love that idea!!!
I can’t help but hear OVERLORD! OVERLORD! OVERLORD! every time he opens his mouth.
Glowy hammer shit by Frig for the win!
HOME RUN!

Make sure to bring your own /smittens/ next community game!
Seriously I’m lovin’ the art to pieces, ESPECIALLY how you got that feeling of momentum, strain, and Frigg’s carry through in panels 3 and 4
Hear, hear. John’s work is fantastic here.
Glowy Shit trumps Rail Cannon.
Too bad it wasn’t a sharp liner back through the pitcher!
Actually that’s probably a good thing, since he’s parked right in the capital.
Think she’s got another one in her?
I didn’t expect the arcanoblast to act like a solid at all. I’m still not really buying it.
And what’s the difference between it making contact with a glowyshit mace, and making contact with the ground?
They are both made of glowymagicstuff. Case closed. Whose up for tacos?
Some good in-passing shots of the former enemies working together to help the wounded. I’m not sure the Silver Centurion has much left to inspire.
Aaaand it’s DEEP into the left field!
Panel 4: “And the crowd goes wild!”
“And the crowd shits its pants!”
Not the first time Frigg has hit it so hard she was left laying on her back gasping for breath.
hiyooooooo
to be fair, I was wondering by her reaction, if perhaps you’re dead on the money.
Frigg may not be a typical heartthrob, but I love her so regardless. :D
Hmm, well, I guess it’s a good thing she sent that in the direction of those not tall enough to catch it?

I wasn’t familiar but I had fun looking it up.
…I think everything has been said.
HOMERUN!!!

Yelling, running and hitting things with a stick…. are we talking about sports or combat? …is there a significant different?
Frigg calls that a good date.
There was one time when Syr’Nj had her medicated, and Frigg was about ready to hit something without a stick.

We’re not worthy.
All hail Brassica Prime.
dang, that was good.
Cue Pagliacci.

I take this as an extremely high compliment. Thank you.
Batter up!
Wow.
That tells me she might not be up for too many more of those and we need some Bandit-sabotage really soon to take that tank out.
SWING batter batter!
Why does Frigg’s Glowy Shit armor never include a helmet?
Because then we couldn’t see it was her! Same reason why space suits in TV and movies include lights INSIDE the helmet (which would be REALLY annoying and the reflections would make seeing out of the helmet hard). Its a pretty standard trope.
How many gamers do you know who are willing to obscure their character’s hair? <_<
That is fair. Hide Helmet cosmetics are probably the most common used type.
I’m thinking Frigg is thinking “that was fucking awesome, and I am never doing that shit again!”
In the third panel she lost all movement. Really great buildup in panel 1 and 2, great finale in panel 4, but panel three just stops me cold
Because she’s swinging? The mace is moving. I see this more as a “still” shot from the front page of the Sports section.
Well, Frigg. I’m your slave now. Do with me as you please. *blissful smile*
HOLY FRIGGIN’ SMITE!
