/signed on the calls for PellaXRichard. They maim each other so happily they might as well be already married.
To those who still think the monochrome represents a dream - that is what the world looks like in moonlight.
Oh ye of little faith!
After all you've seen Cale do, especially since he killed a child because he thought it was necessary, you think sharing love with Benny will make him forget his duties? Or make Benny forget her duties?
They are adults, not teens in a stereotypical RomCom or TV soap.
You've seen/read too many badly written stories it seems. This isn't Twilight you know. People doesn't become obsessed with their lover just because they have feeling for them and/or have had sex with them.

I still dont like this. Its going to muck up all kinds of things. When they're fighting Cale's probably going to obsess over protecting her, when traveling he'll ignore the terrain and pay more attention to Benny. He's just got that sort of personality which causes romance to ruin things. It may not end up that way, but still.

No that's what it looks like in old movies where they couldn't film at night so they just stuck a darker lens on the camera.
I agree with Suntiger on many levels. For one thing, night *does* look like this in true, undisturbed moonlight. I live in an area blessed with such nights. That light makes everything look different. Hannibal's comment in Red Dragon about how even blood shows strange chromatic properties in the moonlight is a fair example, but it applies to many things, most of them much prettier, like tall grass or the leaves in the trees, which seem to be sculpted in silver. You can only see that in the absence of electric lights. Cities are out of question.
About Benny and Cale, I agree as well. Also, let's not forget one thing: now they might be lovers, but before that and still as the story unfolds, they are *comrades*. The bond is going to be pretty strong and will run much deeper than let's say, an ordinary civilian romance. trusting someone with one's heart is one thing, but if you also entrust them with your life on the bloodfield, that's truly some commitment. I wouldn't want to be someone who's got to fight a party including those two.

Should also point out that's the same sort of color scheme used two pages back when they were traveling through the night.

Considering how often Rayne gets laid in LICD its amazing Sohmer made it this far without any hanky panky.
I am obliged to point out that Cale is not Rayne Summers.
Really, the only thing keeping me optimistic about the story ahead is my faith in Sohmer's near supernatural writing ability.
As happy as I am for Cale, I feel a bit sorry for him because no matter what happens, even if Richard interrupts them, Krunch will be pissed with him in all likely hood. I'm hoping that Krunch is an open-minded father but somehow I doubt it. Plus, even if Krunch is open minded, I sincerely doubt that Rayd is.
That said, good luck Cale, you're gonna need it.

The Bloodrage leaders have pledged to Cale. They would have never if they didn't see him as a man of worth. Also, Krunch has seen Cale evolve from panel one up til now and knows pretty well how trustworthy the pointy eared git is 
Let's not forget either how Krunch, a Bloodrage, raised a "green kid" which proves he's got quite an open mind on many matters. He's a scholar to start with, as far as I recall. He can look deeper than you'd expect from an "old cow"

Swiss cheese.
Well, the page certainly has people talking. I kind of paired Richard and Pella in my mind some time ago, when Richard asked "can we keep her?" I thought that was pretty funny, actually.
Big romance thing, well, it feels liek the comic is moving away from laughs—except for Richard, of course, though it would be interesting to have Dick walk in with them and then later reenact it, complete with the bondage, using the Fork of Truth.

About the monochrome panels; haven't any of you kids been out in the country at night, without artificial lights?
This is what the world looks like in moonlight (probably a full moon judging by the brightness). It's light, but no real colour except blue-grey and black shadows.
Both Cale and Benny are very serious about their duties, so I think their romance will be present, but in the background. Even if they become lovers, both will still put their main focus on getting to Kethencia with their people and allies in one piece.
Sex and romance doesn't automatically make people stupid or incapable of thinking of something else, that's just something (bad) writers tend to put in the script because they can't write real characters, just clichés.
That said, I wasn't surprised over this. I've seen Benny gradually coming to respect and like Cale over the months they've been traveling together.
I'd also would like to thank Sohmer and Lar for handling that very well. It's been a gradual thing over a fairly long period of time, not throwing them together just to have a romance. This way it's much more realistic and makes Benny much more like a real person/depth as a character.
It's interesting to note that this intimacy is two-fold. One the one hand, Benny is helping her liege lord relieve the crushing burden (of both responsibility and guilt) he's under, but it is also an acknowledgment of her feelings for Cale as well as healing for herself.
The death of her former fiancé obviously hit her hard, and this is the first time (as far as we know anyway) that she lets herself feel and be intimate with someone again.
Whether she likes some kinky play in the lovesharing with her partner is still an open question.
The reason she entangled Cale with those branches was more so he would not run away, or try to break free, because he probably wouldn't accept (at first) it if she just propositioned it.
Since she's still (probably) a bit uncertain to strike up an intimate relationship with someone again, this not only stopped Cale from running away, it also let her be in control and take things along at a pace she's comfortable with.
Cale doesn't seem to like it to me. He seems more uncertain in the next to last panel, though he seems to cave in quickly in the last, so maybe he has been having low-key or repressed feelings for her as well.
Heh, and they will probably get ribbed a bit over their relationship by Richard and Krunch (or Ray'd), but like I said before, I think the romance will take a backseat to the adventure. It's there in the background but the focus is still on the main story.
I'm also very interested in how Pella will react, and if she will see Benny as a rival, or thank her for mellowing Cale out towards her (because I think Cale will go easier on Pella, maybe even apologize after Benny is done with him).
Oh, and the bit about Richard acting it out with the Fork of Truth as Cale was quite funny.

This. Romance is likened to failure of entertainment because BAD writers put it in when the show/comic/book starts getting weak, or because it's expected. Sohmer put this in at a point in which is, arguably, the strongest so far. He knows what the hell he's doing.
And to all those that said "predictable", yes, if you expect anything, everything is predictable. Yeah, it was coming eventually, but no one could have predicted it would be now. You were surprised, admit it!
With that said....
HELL FRAKKING YES!
HOLY SHIT.

True, but Krunch still doesn't seem like the type who would take this lightly. Furthermore, the fact that Krunch cares so much about Benny means that if Cale were to cause her any sort of emotional distress Krunch would lay out the smack down. While I doubt that there are any big emotional attachments involved here, I still think its a possibility.
Also, if this does indeed lead to Cale getting snoo-snoo, or some ass, I think that it is important that we keep in mind the fact that Benny is a halfbreed, meaning that she is genetically compatible with humans. That's further evidenced by the fact that she was to be married to a human. Now if she is genetically compatible with humans, it wouldn't be that far of a stretch for her to be genetically compatible with elves, and if she is genetically compatible with elves, well then, I don't think I need to point out what may happen as a result of snoo-snoo.
And if that does happen, then I don't think that Krunch is going to be a happy old cow.
As to the results of romantic relationships and/or 'snoo-snoo' [thanks for the Futurama reference ]: If this goes badly, I'm not sure Krunch or Ray'd would go on a rampage. Remember who it was who killed Benny's jerk of an ex-future father-in-law . . . twice? Why, I do believe it was Benny, herself! Which means Cale would possibly be in even more trouble . . . .
Also, if Benny has healing powers and lord knows what else in her spell-list. Is it too much to think that she might, just might, know some kind of natural or magical contraceptive method, beyond gauging moon-phases? I realize this is pure speculation, but it may still be possible within the comic's world.

I was thinking something more along the lines of a red-energy condom.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 
Good one!
Good one!
Red energy condoms sound plausible, but again, I'm just mentioning a possibility.
Also, I do think Krunch and/or Rayd would go on a rampage, because, if you recall, when Benny killed that one dude, neither Krunch, nor Rayd were around. Furthermore, Benny only killed him once, Cale killed him the first time (or at least I think he did, I never could figure out the orgins of that gold disk thingy.
Anywho, had Krunch or Rayd been there I'm sure they would have at least killed Rojave once themselves.
Also even if Krunch is tolerant and open minded, I doubt all of the Bloodrage are like that.

Monday:
*scene*
The woods
*/scene*
Benny and Cale had spent the night in each other arms, sleeping beneath the stars. They'll share a tender moment, talking about the future together as the sun rises. Then they notice two of the shadows covering them are... Cow shaped, each with two glowing embers. Cale screams like a little girl as the massive arms grab him and drag him away.
In the distance, Richard says to Pella as an aside; "They made me WATCH."
Thursday:
Shotgun wedding.

No, its actually because, as evidence shows, when a TV series that, at first, did not have a relationship, gets a relationship forced into it, the show goes down hill. While SohLAr are excelletn at what they do. So are many other writers who have suffered from the results of the story moving from the plot too the lovy-dovy. Fear the 'Two-Headed-Couple!'
Oh yes, and it also means less screan time for Richard! ME WANTS MORE RICHARD! RICHaRD!!!!
And what would the Bloodrage do? well. I can See Krunch sneaking a wink at Cale, and Ray'd tearing off his arm.

Krunch: Where were you last night?

Benny: Scouting for enemies.

oh god damn you!
Go read the first 100 pages and laugh your ass off, read the next 100 and be amazed at the c plot deveopments and neverending event holes and lack of information
read the next 90 pages and continue to wade through the semi interesting plot and war scenes, see some dwarf ripped in half, and sigh wearily as only the occasional joke punctuates the slog that has become the plot
now read this and go, oh ffs what the hell are you people doing!?
Don't get me wrong, i quite like romances, but at the same stage, i enjoy laughing, and i do infact, surpseingly, enjoy using commas and reading about plot developments
But the combination of the 3 is far from compelling
I totaly understand that maybe the writer now has different inntentions for this comic, but it's saddening to see this, because it's so far from how the comic started.
In the first 3 pages of the comic you can easily fall off your chair laughing your head off, it's halarious! There must be 5-6 jokes per page! It's brilliant!
But it stards to dwidle more and more, and i totaly understand it's hard to intrduce new people and bring across serious moments and events with LOTS of jokes and it's very obvious that they can, eventualy, get old.
But given the amazing sense of humor of the writer, which was proven time and time again, it's a little depressing to see this decline. It seems as though there's amazing talent going to waste!
And i know i know you can go and read least i can do for cheap jokes, but this offered somthing a little bit more in depth without being a total slog..
Now 4 pages are going to be wasted on the Gid/Cale romance, probably, back to back. No plot development, probably no jokes, and if there are any they'll be predictable because all love scenes are seeded with corny lines
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to sound like a whiney child, complaining about the gooy romance scen's going " eww thy're kissing " but it'd be nice to have a break from the hardcore plot development and have a few pages of honest gags that still aid in plot momentem and are just all round enjoyable
All i'm saying, in summery, is that it's a little sad and a might bit frustrateing for an awesome laugh every week to turn into a " well, better see what's happening this time.. " I'm sure i'l read this again in a years time and go WOW this was great, but with the current output of the strips, it's simply frustrateing to have to wait for somthing you look forward to, and to be a bit disapointed

As long as the funny is mixed in, I'm fine with "slice of life" comedy-drama-tragedy-atmosphere. *My* complaint is with the shoved-in-my-face not-really-funny references to Star Wars or LOTR or whatever.... they just break the continuity/immersion for me. Stick with the Richard sock-puppet-head theatre.

I wonder how many fanboys and gals are pleased?
I don't care how many are pleased this is flat out dissapointing, apart from the fact i'l probably get a susspension for sayin this, it'll be worth it
DON'T PLEASE THE FAN GIRLS/BOYS
It's not worth it!!
Don't fall into the trap of pleaseing the public! It never works!
Just please me

To those who still think the monochrome represents a dream - that is what the world looks like in moonlight.
Oh ye of little faith!
After all you've seen Cale do, especially since he killed a child because he thought it was necessary, you think sharing love with Benny will make him forget his duties? Or make Benny forget her duties?
They are adults, not teens in a stereotypical RomCom or TV soap.
You've seen/read too many badly written stories it seems. This isn't Twilight you know. People doesn't become obsessed with their lover just because they have feeling for them and/or have had sex with them.

More like Ive seen them, been exposed to far too many horrible fanfictions for me to see much of anything like this in a positive light anymore.
And Twilight is terrible, I'm extremely glad this comic doesn't have sparkling diamond vampires in it. x_x
You watch, now you've said it Richard will be a vampire and he will decidedly sparkle..
I'm with everyone saying about time ^__^

He would never sink so low!
It's clearly not up to him anymore 
I want a comic ruled and run by Richard, or lumberjacks

I much prefer my vampires to be of the Dark Shadow's variety. The only soap I have ever liked... possible because it was a gothic horror soap that borrowed from everything! From vampires, werewolves, frankenstein, ghosts, witches, heck even mythology! Well that and seeing grown men scream in horror over the sight of a rubber bat on a visible string is priceless.
