Here's the topic. Have fun.

I like that look he had, "How long have I known? That I dont plan on sharing."

Well. This certainly answers a lot of questions.

Now I have one more question.

Is there any way to make Monday get here faster?

Awesome.

Of course Richard knew. He's awesomesauce, why would he not know? He's like Dumbledore, making like a blustering old fool when deep down inside he knows Kung Fu, and his Kung Fu is just that. Damned. Good. That's just how he rolls. But now that we know he knew a long time ago and never let on, that just makes Richard even more awesomesauce.

In one fell swoop, Richard just:

A: Dispelled any doubts we all may have had about his loyalty to Cale and the group.
B: Turned the tide of the entire war.
C: Revealed that he knew Felbunny's true identity the whole time.

Also, in true zombie fashion, the zombie villagers are simply going to walk along the ocean floor to Kethenecia!

He's basically saying:

My friends are fighting the most powerful army in the world, so I shall send my undead, invincible army hundreds of miles away to fortify my pink friend's kingdom while I alone go help my friends in the war.

EDIT:

Shoot. I wanted to see zombies hauling a huge castle on their backs. oh well.

Are those the attacking Legarians and the littlest priest I spy in his army?

It seems they are.

I knew it.

It's a good thing the archmage is pretending to be a rabbit, it means he can $*!^ himself without ruining his robes.

And undead cavalry, on undead horses, with undead clerics, backed up by undead children... What more can really be said about that?

I was hoping Richard would turn on Cale, and just die. His humor isn't as good as it once was.

"For everything else, there's fwoosh."

Once again... Badassery.

I totally called this.

And gotta love the reanimated Legarians. Not often that the death rate actually increases a village's population

I knew Richard wouldn't be the big bad (yet at least >_>), and I laughed giggled a bit when he revealed his knowledge of the Archmage's disguise.

That last panel with Richard and Bunny Archmage is adorable. Carrot?

Well.... either the old man will reveal himself to the others or Richard will just hold the proverbial "carrot" over the bunnys head.

I freaking knew it!!!!!

lol the undead cleric you see is the one that was holding the book that Richard was burning with his finger...
other than that gotta love expanding your village/army with every kill you make

As much I like Richard, the more serious his story becomes, the less funny he is. We just don't get the same slap-stick kinds of jokes we used to get. The Meow mix song was funny and the cleric garment was worth a chuckle but still...

It could only last so long before it got old.

Also, did anybody else notice something new about the villagers? As in, some of them are wearing the same uniforms and helmets that the legion soldiers were? Did Richard zombify them, or did some of his villagers simply outfit themselves in the uniforms?

I'm picturing something more like this, around 3:25.

It was strongly implied that Richard was going to zombify the Legaran army in his village while the others added to the body count.

Good point, also note that the little cleric (the one who was hiding behind the book) is right in the front row!

Uh D'uuuuuuuuhhh.

That's all I have to say. I mean, really, did anyone think Richard didn't notice? He just didn't care.

I KNEW IT.

I FUCKING KNEW IT.

Incoming Deal with the Devil. I still say the Archmage is a manipulative bastard and should not be fully trusted. Never the less, yes. Just. Yes.

Obviously he knew, I mean he's RICHARD for heaven's sake. This page also nicely wraps up the discussion about Richard's plans for Kethenica.

Also, did anyone else see the undead priest? (or at least someone who was wearing the dead guy?)

Agreed

Everyone needs to get over Richard losing his humor. He hasn't lost it, its just more subtle in a way. You have to pay attention to his facial expressions and his motions to truly get what hes saying not just at his one liner. He has way more depth now and people who would sacrifice character development for the giggles would not long keep me as a fan.

Richard is like a lot of characters: They hide the fact that they know EXACTLY what's going down, and have plans along the ENTIRE way, and are awesome enough to STILL surprise you when they reveal that they knew.

Revelations... Makes everyone happy. I still have a feeling that there will be a plot twist, a plot twist that will make Richard's action a step towards good. Archmage/Bunny will be pissed, carrot or not.

Also, I got a flashback to Land of the Dead when the undead army walked into the water.

This explains and changes so very very much. HE KNEW?! Richard has the archmage, time traveling master of schemes, wrapped around his bony finger?! It makes alot of sense, and given Richard's sense of humour all his bunny cuddling was just a way to get under the archmages skin. It also show's that Richard is actively pursuing a way to actually follow what seem's like a honest to goodness "good" destiny. Richard is becoming quite the player in this little chess game. I doubt he'll ever stop being the crazy warlock we know and love, but it's good to see he's smarter than we give him credit for. Can't wait to see Kethenecia after the undead have finished "fortifying" it. Wonder how this affect's the "archmage is bad" theory? This just makes it so that the idea of Richard being a major kink in the archmages plans has been upgraded to an actual scheming rivalry of interesting and far reaching potential.


PS: Random legerain soldiers and preists in the crowd? That's just friggin' awesome. Nice shades of POTC with the undead going straight into the water as well.

Anyone else feel that Richard might have know for a LONG time? I mean usually he would gloat about how he was stringing the Archmage along for X number of days.

This makes me wonder if Richard had all of this planned out for some time.... Did he really pick Cale at random at the beginning?

Just food for thought....

Niiice. (I would say RUN, RUN BUNNY! ...but eh, don't think that will help. )

And sweet the army is going to help!

I say, good. The story is becoming Serious Business ™, so naturally Richard is inclined to follow. He's in Serious!Richard mode, now, which I rather like. The regular one is fine enough, but it's neat to see that he's not just all pomp and circumstance with a love for bonfires; he's starting to really show his roots in aristocracy. He's smart--damned smart. He knew that the Archmage was the Felbunny, we can assume, for quite some time, so he's been purposely sabotaging him in order to force his hand. May I remind you, this is the Archmage--the grand poobah of manipulation thus far.

So. Richard managed to not only fuck up a scheme that had been brewing for three thousand years--and do it without being noticed--but he also managed to strategically corner the Archmage into an situation where he had no choice but to accept Richard's "help". That's manipulative, underhanded as hell, and absolutely fucking beautiful.

Remind anyone of another powerful sorcerer? Hmm.

Yes, yes it is

Oh, I get what is supposed to make him funny. Thing is, it just doesn't. Nuff said.

After this? I wouldn't put it past him. Depending on just how powerful he was in life, i can see him knowing vaguely about the entire prophecesy and walking up and sticking to Cale just due to residual memory guiding him towards his destiny without him even knowing it. Everything might be coneccted in way's we can't even begin to imagine. Not uncommon if a story involves prophecy and time travel, though rarely done as well as i can see it playing out here. This is just so great on every level. Now i REALLY wanna know who Richard was in life so we can see just how smart he really was/is. *sigh* Were probably going to just switch back to Cale on monday. Ah well, at least we will solve the mystery of the mysterious package that may or may not be rayd's new mechano-arm.

There was speculation some time back that Richard was the Archmage. Thus far there has been o evidence against that... Now, however, there seems to be some that support it .

Again, food for thought

On a side note, I'm calling it now: Richard and the Archmage are totally brothers. And I'm still banking on the Archmage being the "bad" one in the end.

That's an idea. but i think that it is more likely that The A.M. is Richard's father.

Remember, Richard draws power from a strong source (his father's remains) the A.M. might leave a similar residue. Especially if Richard killed him to preserve such power.

I doubt they're the same person, but brothers, or at least freinds in life? I'd bet some very good money on it. After the "you seem familiar" comment AND him being able to see through his disguise, not to mention being able to outwit him slightly? They are defenitley connected, and the only possibility we can rule out is the "archmage is richard's father" idea.(Never liked that one anyway.)

PS: His father's in the crypt silly. Which we saw in the same room as bunny/archmage.

Jesus! First panel I thought Richard was talking to me... Damn those eyes they seem to stare in my soul and know everything...

Ah... But the Archmage is traveling though time, who knows what might have happened.

I'd rather have an interesting character than a funny one.

His humor served its purpose when the plot was still young and there needed to be something to keep people reading. Now the plot has surfaced fully and, thus, no longer requires Richard's humor to really keep it going. Why not just remove it all together? It's Richard--he's a callous, dopey smartass; removing his thoughtless quips would be like writing the Flash without a lame punchline. It's part of his character.

If you read LFG just for the gags, then you're missing about 95% of the rest of the comic and deserve to feel disappointed at the humor. That is all.

Well, he's so short we wouldn't be able to see him otherwise

A bunny as power source? Now that sounds evil

On the other hand... they keep going and going...
and (undead) bunny army ftw!

Seems to work for humans, too:

w00t, my first post

actually i called it, where i said that that Richard was going to make a army for his city

So i called it

Cant we just say that everybody called it by thinking it subconsciously? Im sick of everybody claiming to have called it.


You.

Shhhhhhhh.

You probably just need some sleep. Go take some sleeping pills and we'll see if this clears up by tomorrow morning.


Im with SilverKnight, Ive come to trust his predictions and views on this stuff.
And AM being Richard's brother makes way more sense.
WAY. MORE. SENSE.

Let's leave it at that.

In the frame where Richard reveals his army, in the bottom center. Is that an undead Mr Magoo? If so thats hilarious. If not, who cares, it looks like an undead Mr Magoo

Is it so wrong to miss what was the core of LFG? And let's not mess around, without Richard's antics, there would be no LFG.
