not a bad page. Richard, of course, steals the show

I dunno, Richard doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would put up with being called 'bro'. Luckily, the gnome wasn't too specific. If he really valued his life, he would have said, "Don't tear out my skeleton rip me in half turn me into a frog/chunk of ice/pile of entrails/projectile/wallet/hat/any article of clothing use me as a hand/string puppet eat me feed me to the panther/rabbit/bloodrage fwoosh me fwoom me fwam me [this could go on forever] bro!"

He's taking orders from the elf now. Heh.

Also... that's what my lil bro used to say when he was a kid, but it was after I took 'im in my arms and spun him around to make 'im feel like an air plane.


Poor gnome

Even though he's acting civil now, I think richard will probably act up and cause a lot of trouble for the gnomes soon. He just wouldn't be richard if he didn't.

So, Ray'd is a bit of a racist? Or speciesist? What would it be classified as?

Also, I was expecting everyone to retreat to Kethenecia, regroup and then prepare to strike back.

Lar's attention to detail just gets better and better, especially in the second to last panel. Very menacing with the bony hands positioned like claws. All that's missing is seeing Richard's expression. I'm tired of the various jokes that end with "bro", which I'm subjected to practically everywhere on the 'net, but the gnome's panicked expression kinda makes up for that.

I'm going to go along with what someone else said previously about Ray'd's outlook on being captured & tortured. He would have rather died than have his clan see him maimed as he is, even though he now has a new Arm of Awesome, courtesy of Pella.

And it looks like Toyk may be of the same opinion as Tah'vraay and the Sisters. They're ready to give up.

Richard never fails to deliver in those serious and not supposed to be amusing comics.

hey.... isn't that the same gnome from around page 25 or so

Sohmer and Lars never fail to surprise us in twisted manner and the whole don't tase me bro moment is priceless , but i strongly getting the feeling there may be flaming gnome artillary on Richard's part, but love his so called turn to neutral evil and make nice with allsokillable gnomes.

Lar. It's L-A-R-No-'s'.

No. That's Fitch. He's dead. Krunch killed him so he and Cale could earn a measure of trust with the trolls.

The gnomes all look alike anyway. They're just soldiers. They're like "redshirts" in Star Trek: Expendable.
They're "fwoom fodder".

hun... well his beard is different,,,

-.-

"Good News. We`re on the same side." Richard don`t cares about who`s side he is on, I wonder when the gnomes find that out

The last panel made me start singing "This is War."

The last panel made me start singing "This is War." laugh.gif


yeah that the one which i was think about hehe....and i am shure they find it out soon.

its really not monday here for another few hours but that update was awesome


richard had a cuteness to him... holding up a gnome and saying nice things lol...

and the fear, luvved it!

liked this page cant wait for richard fwooshing some little dwarves.

That made me giggle insanely. I want a bumper sticker of that.

"Don't Fwoosh me, bro!"

Hands up if you want that bumper sticker sold in the store!

Im prety sure they'll just roast like the gnomes did



WAIT!


how did the gnome know it was called "Fwoosh"

why didnt he say incernate or soemthing...

Heh, Florida Taser incident reference FTW Also, it's nice to have some calm strips in between all the action. But I already feel sorry for the gnomes...



I guess he was a survivor of this battle, there were more than hundred involved. Though it is a "FWOOM" in these panels, Richard probably also fwooshed some of them.

the gnomes have richard now.. why would u feel sorry for them?
oh cause what happened to them?

*puts hand up* =P

Smartest. Gnome. Ever.

Or at least quickest on the mental feet. And that also applies to Dwarves, don't have the page, but remember the guards challenging Richard way in the beginning, as well as pirates.

I don't know what jokes there are with 'bro', but some people really do talk like that. I do remember there was some skit with a bunch of guys who each only said one word- bro, dude, guy, man- but that was based on how people really talk. Might as well get upset at the Canadian eh. I was a little surprised by it, but figured Sohmer had recently read or watched something where people talked that way. Then I figured some gnomes just talk that way, or maybe just some guards *shrug*.

And as for Ray'd being speciest, did anybody miss the exchange between him and his father when it was announced the gnomes had arrived. Or the "diplomatic" session between Toyk and the head of the Bloodrage?

im lost, was that a reply to anything?

I quite enjoyed this page really.
The look on that little gnome's face was hilarious! And I highly doubt Richard would refrain from fwooshing some of them. Remember when Cale stated that they looked like children?
It shall be one of those moments I should hope.
hehe... Kill them all >=]

Its possible he may open fire on the battle field with disregard with which is gnome or drawf,
I can hear him say like in the jackie chan/rush hour movie

"you all look alike"

Lolz
I'd very much enjoy seeing that xDD
And btw...
POKE~

(I'm also quite surprized I managed to remember that lfg updated today lol... usually I forget and jump in at about 10 or 11 xDDD

That's pretty much a given. Remember the lyrics? "For this waaaar! I do not care whose side I'm on! I'll kill a troll or gnome! Or burn a home! And it was fun, to start this war! Who knew? Muahahaha!"

It really is kinda weird that Ray'd would take orders from anything that's not a high-ranking Bloodrage. I mean, he kinda was a leader himself. War leader, even... so why is he taking orders from Cale, especially about battle?

Unless maybe it's just because Cale is acting first, before Ray'd can start up with anything. :/

Why wouldn't he?

Cale & Co. just saved him from more torture and certain death. Benny healed him. Pella gave him a new arm. Now Cale & Co. are going to help him get even. They're giving him an opportunity to pay back the black dwarves for destroying his home, killing most of his clan and torturing and maiming him.

He'd probably do it anyway even if Cale hadn't told him to help.

Oh Richard, i love you so.

The last two panels FTW! I love the detail and facial expressions. (and the anticipation for Gnome-gernades that it has given me.)

Once again The Bloodrage show there Speciesism, i guess its cause they are all huge and strong and gnomes need to rely on machines, they must see it as weak or something... anyway. RICHARD!

i must agree with you. the last two pannels are epic.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but there seem to be a lot of dark and significant looks going on, mainly panels 3 and 7.
Not sure but I'm not trusting the gnomes

Makes me think about a spoof video I saw on YouTube long ago. It was about 5 minutes of an anime, everyone was dubbed to say "Dude!", and the subtitles translated what it really meant. Hilarious, that.



Maybe I'm the only one to have listened to the song that excessively much, but Richard sings "to stop this war", not "to start this war". I reckon it's his way of stopping wars - kill everyone. If you don't believe me, listen to the song carefully.

[EDIT] Further supporting my claim, what do you think Richard would be most suprised at - the fun of starting a war, or the fun of stopping it? [/EDIT]

And on the topic of the page... simply lovely. Richard looks so joyful when he says "we're on the same side". Heh. Wonder how long that will last.

Ow!

Seriously, is taking long-dead memes and replacing the noun with Fwoosh going to be Richard's thing from now on?

everything tastes fresher when its Richarfied!

To those wondering why Ray'd would take orders from Cale--

It seems to me that Ray'd's personality requires someone to take orders from. He blindly followed his father before, but now Papa's gone. Ray'd will give orders to his own unit, but he requires direction from an outside authority. Cale is the best he's got at the moment.

even though Richard's on his side, the gnome definitely isn't safe

the fact that Richard pointed out that they're on the same side kind of makes it even more menacing, knowing it's Richard saying it

Wonder what's behind the door the gnome's guarding?

Because he's War Leader. He's supposed to do the battle planning and make the commands.


That's very possible. Put that with Cale's natural ability to take command of things, and the fact that Ray'd pride is prolly still suffering (not that that's a bad thing...), and it'd make sense, I s'pose.

Then again, the mind doesn't really make a whole lot of sense in reality... *shrugs*

He's worried about being fwooshed because he's another gnomish sentry.

remember the first one?

THAT's what he looks like

and yes. I would love a bumper sticker.

Probably a reference to Andrew Mayer and the "Don't Tase Me Bro" thing Here

I'm with you on that one.

I'd rather be tased than fwooshed.

You can live through being tased.

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but the "Don't fwoosh me bro!" needs to be on a t-shirt, all I'm sayin.

Well that depends a lot on the individual, their age, weight, heart condition. They're not supposed to zap anyone under 80 lbs if I recall for instance.

I said "can". It is possible to live through being tased.

Fwooshing? Not so much. And it doesn't matter how much or how little you weigh.

Cale survived being fwooshed.

And a bumper sticker. x3

And a music video, with a dancing gnome in goofy looking pants with legs bigger than he is, set to Can't Touch This.

You may be able to survive a Tase. But you dont -want- to survive a fwoosh. It only makes Richard more playful.
