And Richard ruins yet another wonderfully dramatic moment.

But that's why we love him.

Stupid question: the line Cale said, what's it from? I'm sure I recognize it...

EDIT: Also, dramatic Cale looks kinda... weird. o.O

No such thing as a stupid question. It's from Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Legolas says it. Fitting. And elf line for an elf.

Cale's eyes sure are tiny today.

Ha... yeah, that'd be why I recognize it. Thanks. ^^

Just noticed, we're getting less panels this week. We used to get 10-12 and today's was four, while Monday's was five. Standard comic usually, but it feels like they're trying to stretch it out.

Boo.... you beat me to the thread. LoL Cale's eyes look REALLY weird....

Man, I hate those sleepless nights. You just have to do something with all your energy or you'll go insane. I think we can all agree that it's a good thing Richard chose to do something. The last thing we need is an insane Richard... well, crazy insane, not homicidal insane, at least.

Over the summer, the panels have been noticeably shorter(less), causing the comic to feel shorter overall and like they're dragging it out a bit. The most likely reason is that it's summer which is con season. They've been hella busy. When things settle down and we roll into the winter months, I'm hoping they'll return to 'longer' comics with more to them. Hopefully.


To this page - Richard found new clothes. Oh, and I like how Krunch just smiles at him. Like he expected him to do something like that and he's happy it's right on cue. Hehe. They sure have become desensitized. Ahhh, the sacrifices one makes to travel with an 'all powerful' warlock.

Hmmm, he mentions the Red Sun rises...

Which would make it a Red Dawn...

Possible subtle homage to Patrick Swayze?

Perhaps Cale's eyes appear to be so small because it's still early in the morning, and he's tired? Just a random guess.

That\'s because his left eye (well, technically it\'s his right eye, but we see it on our lef...whatever) is too far away from his nose and way too close to his brow. It should be brought down and to the right to fit in better with the facial curves. Also, it makes his nose look freaking huge.

I got bored and edited the panel to give you a better visual:



Yeah, I'm real ballsy.

Also, I'm wondering what the second panel was supposed to be. Meh, either way, another arc begins.

I do like the look of 'epic scene' Cale.


And, Richard has thoughtfully provided breakfast.

Yeah, this was disappointing on several levels.

Okay, so I'm not the only one noticing the weekly filler strips?

The scenery is pretty much dead-on from The Lord of the Rings, too, in addition to the line.

ROFL! Yea. IMO, his eyes are small from the long night, being sort of baked and then healed, and so forth. Leave it to Richard, to lighten the mood.

Awww, Richard got new clothes. That means no naked dick for fangirls yet =( And yeah I agree that Cale looks so weird... I'm still trying to figure out what's so wrong with him... Is it the eyes? The huge nose? Something else? Hmmm...

Ahhh good...wait no bad old Richard

*giggles* ..Way to spoil a dramatic moment, Richard.

Kind of annoying that they're still not showing us the side of Cale's neck that Richard healed. Still wanna see if he has a scar.

But of course, Richard had to do it; attention-whore that he is...

*Comes back from a long, loooooong time away*

Yeah, me too. Maybe they'll do that in the next comic?

I don't think he'll get one. If you check out the page where the group finds Richard, Cale's neck seems fine. Too bad...

Well, for the most part, vampires prefer to feast on blood from unmarred flesh. *runs*

Love the Lord of the Rings reference. Blood has definitely been spilled. Thank you Richard for another classic moment. lol

Filler, shameless filler. Funny filler and well drawn filler but filler nonetheless. I really wish that they'd get off this "one Richard joke a strip" thing and go back to multiple jokes from multiple characters but whatever. At least the art was really good.

There's always a critic isn't there? lol

Actually, yeah, that does help a bit. <.<

I think that it's also how much detail was added to the approximate style that's used. ^^;

And I quote:

Cale: What does it say about my character that I'm finding him a little less horrifying with each passing day?
Benny: Nothing good.

(From at least a hundred pages ago... Here)

Without criticism there can be no real discussion.

What kind of animal did Ricky kill? Looks like a moose/alpaca cross...

Moopaca??

prolly a moose bear.. a moear? or beoose? O.o

They look like sheep with hippo snouts to me

For those who mention all the filler, it's like someone else said, they have been really busy over the summer with all the conventions, so its to be expected. be appreciative of the fact that they still update on time for us; they could say "Sorry guys, we're traveling so we dont have time, its 1 comic per week until the summer is over"

See I don't know if I wouldn't prefer having one good comic a week instead of two filler strips.

I took the second panel to mean they were being watched from the air by some kind of scout.

double post, sorry.

That's okay just don't make a habit of it.

I interpreted the second panel to mean they were walking all night.

yeah they're walking alright... hopefully the next strip shows them at their destination.

No...looks like...he was counting sheep

Those are some pretty ugly sheep then.

love LotR, love the reference and I think that in the 1st strip it's sunset, 2nd is in the night and then comes sunrise, that's how I see it

I think you're right

Oh Richard..had to ruin his moment huh?

Of course, he is Richard

It's like Cale have to make a Dick joke >.>

Seems like it's been a while since we've had a dick joke

Yea..Cale is slacking again..MAKE JOKES CALE!!

cale looked kind of weird...
