Interesting musings, I suppose the Dragkey sounds more threatening than the Monkgon.

I can see it now, covered in scales, a spiked tail trailing behind it, setting trees on fire with its breath as it swings through them.

Oh, and is it just me, or is the entire religion getting further and further out there?

While somewhat put off that no one will ask about the bunny they carry with them, it seems we are leading into some more plot.

Who thinks that this will be resolved with something to the tune of "The bunny's coming with us", causing the Sisters to follow them to Kethenacia for fear of being left without their "blessed one"?

Time to vacate the wacky factory before the crazy infects them all.

I love Cale's expression in the last panel. He's just so good at looking completely baffled.

Odd, I wouldn't have taken Richard as one of those guys. What kind of homicidal maniac fears the crazies?

He's mentioned avidly avoiding Crazy Syndrome before, very early in the comic.

So, either the matron tries to keep the bunny or Cale says the bunny's coming with them and then either the matron agrees to follow or they try to arrest Cale and friends for trying to take the bunny.

Bunny.

An interesting point to be made, then. Richard doesn't fear crazy, as he has a bit of that already. What he seems to avoid so regularly is the possibility of catching other people's crazy.

Richard's made similar comments before. Aside from it being a conversational staple, he may actually fear (or at least prefer to avoid) dealing too much with the nutty ones.

Remember, they managed to banish him when they were presumably weaker than they are now. Richard's own version of crazy seems to be highly selective; he's certainly not the type inclined to risk that again, particularly now that the immediate "help Cale for lulz" crisis has passed.

Oh Richard only you could so eloquently describe the sisters. Good show oh lord of the Dragkey... Drag.... a key dressed as a women? Hm... *ponders*

Tiny background Cale in the 4th (next to last) panel



filled me with both 'awww' and 'lol'

That would make a good wtf? emote for something like msn messenger

Wacky factory.

Magma.



Well, after a point, we knew they were playing with fire.

?
lol

A dragon crossed with a monkey would be a mongon and then only Flash Gordon can save us.

i'm expecting for page 300...
A crazy bunny deal is coming... MacBenny Beware MacDick !

"the life is a tale by a Richard : full of sound of fury, but meaning nothing"...
Omagash, Richard > Shakespeare !

The Legion suffered "decimation" eh... So, only one in ten was killed? No wonder Cale is worried that they'll soon be back.

I thought the second to last panel was his perfect 'baffled' expression .

Kael's expression in the last two panels is PURE WIN!!!

It's honestly hard to imagine Richard fearing anything, per se. For the undead (willing or otherwise), death tends to be the only deterrent. Vampires and liches are notorious for fearing and trying to put off death, and one would assume Richard joined the ranks of the undead by choice... Maybe he just knows there are no priests powerful enough to permanently kill him, and so doesn't fear the possibility of death.

Eh... rambling

Richard is a psycho yet he fears the crazy. The dragkey is somethin that i would love to see. Last but not least, way to go matron for you and your people standing firm in yalls religion never giving up hope nor belief. how will cale convince her and her kind to follow him to his kingdom now? cant wait for thursday

Is it me, or in the fourth panel does the Matron look like some whack-job zealot pointing out how her religion and the people in it are utterly awesome?

Oh, wait. She kind of is. Somebody get this lady a soapbox!

I can't help but think that Richard isn't only joking with the Matron because he thinks her religion is absurd, he's trying to avoid her exposing the Archmage. I don't know why, but i've been getting a weird feeling from the last few pages and the last panel of this one confirms it for me. Beats me if I'm just reading too far into this, or if Richard is particularily weird in this page just because of his dislike of what he perceives as other people's crazy. It could possibly make sense if he just doesn't want people to find out that he's made a pet out of the all-powerful Archmage, and has been carting him around without mentioning it to anyone. Then again, Richard has shown some moments of proper (almost, dare I say, human?) reasoning when it comes to what's going on around him. (See Page 256)

-EM

I'm expecting a lot of madness, blasphemy and other 300-references as well



If all else fails, blame the bunny.

Wow I can't believe that none of them have any sort of healthy skepticism or curiosity. I mean none of them cared to ask why the hell the Sisters seem to worship a Bunny that they originally acquired as Richard's mount?

If I was in their shoes, I'd also be more concerned about a possible army arriving to annihilate you instead of the religion of a group of people that just crushed one said army arriving to annihilate them. And pertaining to Felbunny, they could just be dismissing that as on odd coincidence, since much odder ones have happened.

Yeah I suppose it would make sense for the group to become blase to things like that by now.

Who else want's to see Tah'vraay steal a small portion of the Sisters' forces to travel with Cale to Kethenicia to avoid destruction at the Legion's Hands?

me!!!

Richard may not be scared for himself... we know how he feels about Felbunny, he would not want to expose it to 1) a whacky religion which may just decide to try and keep him or; 2) a pissed-off army which will make it into stew.

Maybe a dragkey will appear and drag off Richard and Felbunny to Kethnecia, where the Matron and others will follow to try to rescue the Felbunny, only it turns out that Richard's minions warlock-napped him for a surprise unbirthday party. Richard's most cherished gift will be the Fork of Truth, with a side of The Spoon Is Not A Lie. Something to that effect, anyway.

I agree with this, as Richard loves the Bunny more than he loves killing!

Why is the forum messed up with the list of posts instead of pages of posts?

I think we're missing the point, she said the blessed one could take on the legion - now THATS what i want to see

Comes with the territory of being blonde.

Yes. I can most DEFINITELY see a 'this is madness' reaction to the direction this religion has gone.
This has been said before but:

Lol. Cale's face.

...huh. You know, that does actually make sense, whatever the reasons are for keeping the secret to himself. Richard has always been immature and crazy, but he is also capable of being secretive and, dare I say, calculating.

Nope read the whole article, this is language not a math formula. In sort in the Marton's use of the word they killed 9 out of 10.

I take it that they say decimate in the common (and mostly inaccurate) usage of today, that is a majority of a group having been destroyed.

The Honored Matron is totally making a grab for something (sword or magic) to prevent the bunny from leaving. I'm calling it now.

It's going to be awkward for the group. The last thing they want to do is fight the Sisters but I doubt Richard is going to give up his Bunny willingly.

Is it just me or did Richard look a little bit afraid of the lady in the last panel?

Wouldn't it be a bit ironic if the Blessed One turned out to be, not the bunny in hand, but the bunny Richard roasted waaaaay back on the first page?

Oopsie?

Richard's professed fear of contagious insanity before despite how hypocritical it is of him. You know what they say, people who live in crazy houses shouldn't... uhh... be allowed to handle sharp objects?

The Bunny is hellishly cute for the blessed one.

BUNNY

(I'm not capable of any coherent thought as of now)

He is terribly cute, isn't he? Maybe SohLar will let us keep him once the comic is over.

The matron thinks that felbunny has returned to them when, in fact, felbunny merely came along with Richard. Felbunny & Richard have formed a very close relationship since showing up to be Lil' Dick's steed. Richard & felbunny had a reunion when he came back from the plane of suck. It was felbunny who actually pointed out where Richard was in the Lava field. There's one instance of Richard feeding felbunny. The last couple of pages show Richard & felbunny together. Richard is not going to let go of Felbunny any time soon, and felbunny has gone out of his way to be near Richard.

It must irk the matron that their deity has Richard as his best pal. Richard has done nothing to endear himself to her. If the matron's assessment of felbunny's power is accurate, then he & Richard are a formidable duo. The only question is the dichotomy of Felbunny/Archmage.

The Archmage probably wants to keep a close eye on the group, why he chose Richard of all people to care for him is beyond me, he took a huge risk that Richard wouldn't try to burn or eat him. One thing that is puzzling is the fact that the Archmage sheds a tear when Richard gets banished. That seems wildly out of character for him which leads me to believe that the Bunny may not actually be the Archmage, just a host to the Archmage's essence but at the same time its own being. That or Richard and the Archmage are butt-buddies.

I like to think that the Bunnie's secret that Richard mentions way back is actually that he is some random third party guy that has taken a liking to Richard but is stuck in bunny form and he actually knows nothing about the archmage's involvement with the Bunnie. And that, held in this form by the archmage himself or not, the archmage is taking advantage of his being stuck like that to spy on the group.

Or atleast that's currently my favorite idea

Still no Pella. Now I'm getting really suspicious. And I'm expecting upcoming WoT references, with book 12 coming out now and all.

I don't know, is Sohmer even a fan of Wheel of Time? Guess he might poke fun at it a bit if he isn't, but he'd probably do that regardless.

Gotta say I agree with the previous posts suggesting that Richard merely is trying to keep the archmage from revealing his true form. Looked over the last few pages and I think it confirms the idea. I can´t help but get kind of a "I DEMAND MORE ATTENTION THAN THE SUSPICIOUS BUNNY" feeling. Hah. Suspicious Bunny.

Lawl, he posted some days ago he's expecting the new book to be released.

I think one of them ends up killing the matron to end the madness.

And I think that one will be Cale.
