Now things are getting interesting =D

What other crazy fighting tactics will be used?

THIS DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!!!!


Man, that would be amazing; but I don't think Sohmer would be much of a Gurren Lagann fan.

So that was what that VGCats was referencing!

I love you Rip, I just wanted you to know that..

*leans uncomfortably close*

And is that a gnome drill that almost cut open Ray'd's foot?

Don't feel bad, I didn't get it at first either; and it popped up right after I finished the series.

I guess Ramsoomair just can't quite handle that level of AWESOME.


And how would it cut Ray'd's foot? Ray'd's foot is a hoof.

It's a TV!


They should have put landmines in those holes. It makes more sense to do so, with all their gnomey technology, instead of putting men in there.

It isn't like he's a ponyta, his feetses aren't hard as diamonds!

Or on fire.

And with our combined information we can determine with 87.54% probability that Ray'd is not a Ponyta.


I should get some sleep. I hear that increases your rationality factor.

ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!!!!
First thing that came to mind.

Ten gold says that Thursday's strip will feature the group rather than show the outcome of this.

Of course no,he's a tauren.Ponytas are PONIES.

Hurr,Whack-a-gnome.Best tactic evar.
Sometimes the most unexpecting tactic can be the best
one.

I'll take that bet! And there are 26 anons here right now!

SPY CHECK!

*directs to the new members intro thread in general discussion*

Talk to me!

I find the phrase 'whack a gnome' very, very funny.

I LOVE the Whack-a-Gnome (stop calling it that) technique!!

and Ponyta has absolutely NO place in this forum *glares*

Pokemon are for preteens and below people.......come on. act your age not your shoe size

Is anyone else vaguely reminded of Nazis in the first panel? I just want to make sure I'm not (that) crazy...

There are 30 of them now! Hide!!!

They out number us in strength!

*focuses*

Okay, Trolls = Not like gnomes

Gnomes = Not like Bloodrage

Bloodrage = Not like gnomes

Thus
Bloodrage = Trolls = Not like gnomes

Gnomes = Pariah



I wear size fourteens... I'm only two years off...

Orly?
I underestimated our own power.

I'd also like to know whether that drill belongs to a gnome or not.
Gnome is likely, but they seem too 'peaceful' (for lack of a better word).

...
You know, somehow I felt I wasn't the only person thinking that. XD

Whack-a-Gnome....pure genius

I do feel sorry for the one Gnome that got killed though

Says the guy with 8 dragons in his sig.


I dun think the drill is from a gnome, though.


It seems like a sneak attack-type thing to me.

yeah it did have a kinda WWII feel to it.
lol whack a gnome love it!

I thought the lead gnome burrowed into the ground.
Somehow...

Thank-you primary support system Ishmael, your defense maneuvers far exceed my own in both delivery and effectiveness. I'm going to bed before my dad wakes up to go to work and finds me typing away with a paragraph of my essay done after six hours. Night

Hey, whatever works. If it involves dead gnomes, I'm all the more a fan!

I have met my giggle quota of the day.

Thank you

betting that drill are the sons and richard. or maybe the black dwarfs

Someone was thinking on the same page as I...

I think they are just going to pop out of the ground... Only in a more explosive fashion, because you have the legarion army accounted for, you have all the faction leaders except the mother... and then most of the group is left behind...

Gurren Lagann 4 ever!!!!!

Never thought it could be them.
Does make sense, they were underground.

......
Whose watching the Bloodrage base and taking care of that dragon army?
And how did they get those holes right where the Legarians were going to be?
Also, why haven't we seen the troll's forces yet?
/questions

Actually, not WWII, the helmets those soldiers are wearing, and the fact that they must cross a "minefield" or better yet, a gnomefield, that looks like it's just been bombed, to get to the fight gave me strong WWI feelings. But why would Legaras forces be wearing the same helmets as the Brittish forces then?

Anyway, loved the whack a gnome tactic, though it seems to be very suicidal in the end when facing a much larger group, and the drill that comes up in the last frame... I dunno, feels like an attack from Legara, but they haven't done sneak attacks as far as I know, just big stuff and overwhelming with numbers. And what kind of technology do they really have?

They have teevee as we can see, so they must have some sort of spy equipment, or manned flying scouts.

well.... we have richard on our side, and he's genocidal maniac (all the more reason to love him), sooooo that makes us the Nazis ... yeah sad but true

I'm pretty sure that leaving off with the drill thing is supposed to imply that it's not friendly and make you worry and want to know what happens.

Possibly only to find out that it's reinforcements. *shrugs* We'll know sometime within the next couple weeks, I sure. ^^

@_@

I'm guessing it's not a Legarian drill. From what I've seen it seems that Legara is a more 'strength' based nation. Prefering large offensives rather than tactical operations.

My guess would be underground gnome-scouts, reporting movements, numbers, possibly information?

I must lol at this!!

This is most certainly enemy forces popping up inside the base to take out the siege equipment!

Legara is a huge nation, and has been for thousands of years, it must have a lot of tactics to deploy!

If they make a frontal assault, while dragons rain fire and death from above, and dwarfs pop out smack in the middle of everything, they would have a huge advantage.

or its just the sons along with the group and über pwnage/Richard/drilling dick... might actually be a possibility

But i think its safe to asume there will be another lotr reference

Lol what a rant !

i don't see the point in this whole series any more. its somewhat funny but largely just a bit off.

Yes it has veered off course from what it originally was, but that is to be expected. I'd be willing to bet this comic wasn't originally fleshed out this far at all and evolved as the characters did, each gaining a personality. There is no real main character any more.

rofl Whack a Gnome wonder what richard/pella/cale/benny are doing right now... *imagines* theyre prolly sitting there waiting for their comic turn lol

I just registered here so that I could comment on this...

I want a Whack-A-Mole wallpaper! Just a shot of the holes, some with gnomes sticking out, some without. And that's it -- I think it would be great!

That drill is a transport module from the technodrome looking for Pella (Shredder must know his gear is missing by now).

lol i can't believe its taken him this long to notice

A handful of you got it wrong. Those helmets are of World War I origin, not WWII, and they are the style that the Allies wore, not the "Nazis", lol.

Haha, good point

This made me giggle repeatedly XD

I've got to agree with the few of you that think this is not a friendly drill. It is clearly ominous, and fearsome in it's deadly force.

Perhaps a skaven force? They always muck up battles just by charging in at the wrong time and the wrong force for the wrong reasons.

The drill has to be something awesome army of gnomes riding on giants o.o that would be cool...lol

lol the atmosphere with the tunnels and the stuff is much more like Vietnam


and whack-a-gnome should be a game - for realz.

WWI British Doughboys.

My guess about the next comic is this:

The gang with all the brothers have no where to escape, the entrance to the prison is blocked off by a reserve unit. One of two this will happen, the brothers show their new escape drill they've finished 2 hours ago; or, fight threw the guard and the drill is a gnome

You mean LEEEERRRRROYYYYY JJJJEEEENNNNKKIIINNNSSS?
...Yeah,them.

I'm leaning more towards us being surprised by something totally unexpected concerning that drill. Sohmer does love to pull a fast one on us whenever he can.
