Has there been the consideration that Richard cannot give up Archbunny because he's his new source of power? We watched him go into Sooba and wander about, but how do we know he didn't do some voodoo with Archbunny? It would explain why he's so protective of his new companion, especially if after the banishment episode he felt his gem was a little too obvious so he picked something sacred that the sisters would not harm...

P.S. The "promise to keep" that Richard mentions here is well explained in the two subsequent comics here and here.

Sooooo....the promise was to make Sooba Simba???

Richard's promise he told Felbunny had to keep was to Cale. I don't know how to link pages but in 239 before he leaves for his village he tells Cale 'I'll come find you.'

I know there has been a bit of speculation about the "white sister", holding the bunny book. Here's the thing...not only do her eyes remind me of Richard, but the shape of her cowl as well. Does Richard have a sister (heh!) that we don't know about?

Also, I agree that his saying "CAN'T" is important. He's said it twice now. I wonder what Taavray intends to do to diffuse the situation? If it's even possible to do so?

Also also, much has been made by how tenderly Richard scratches the bunny behind the ears...yet the bunny is the very picture of contented happiness when the ear-scratching occurs. That's the cutest damn bunny pic I've seen yet in this story! I don't see the bunny hopping away from Richard any time soon. (He could have leaped off when Richard was on the floor doing his rabbit impersonation, you know...)

Am looking forward to Monday!

All the pre-fusion sisters looked like that.

My question stands: Does Richard have a sister(s) we don't know about? (Is Richard a former son? It might explain his until-now-inexplicable attachment to a certain cute bunny...)

There's no way to be sure but as it stands I'd say no and no.

And another wild guess goes down the drain...phooey!

Oh, not to worry. I bet it will *all* be made clear soon...

... Yes, soon...

I'm pretty sure the promise he was refering to is this one here. As in, his promise to find Cale once his business was finished.

As for the similar glowing eyes of Richard and the Sister, I think it's safe to say that's just part of holding large amounts of magical energy.

i dont think that the bunny has been hexed by richard or anything... i mean he loves the bunny so much lol it was his mount for a while i mean seriously lol

Love the Commentary. Keep it up and make people question.

Welcome to the forums.

cute bunny and potential fwooshing. nice. Although I reackon felbunny will stop this...somehow.

I'm betting Tah'vraay diffuses the situation before it comes to blows.

Richard getting serious about the bunny. This has more to do with fluff. I wonder what it is he has in mind. More so i wonder how strong the old blue chick's fanaticism is? To brutal, grim death?
And also did her daughter see this coming?

is it just me or.. thats not the same bunny?!

Right, I agree with you. The two comics I linked were Richard keeping his promise to come find Cal and reinforce him.

WHOO! Richard versus the hags round two!

It's the same, probably just a shift in art style or maybe because it's drawn smaller or something like that.

She looks like she is more after the "untransformed sister" ...
but that could be just because im so suspicious of her

I have to agree with you, Greenguy.

I'm kinda suspicious of her looking a bit over-careful.

Yeah... a very powerful, undead warlock just said things were about to escalate. I'd be getting the hell out of there two. Especially since her lack of physical change suggests she wasn't part of the fusion and thus not powered up. Also, she is carrying their holy book. Probably would want to get that away from said warlock so it doesn't get damaged in the chaos that's about to ensue. And I doubt there's anything odd about her not being transformed. If there was, surely the matron would know about it.

grrr....just realized I might miss Monday's page

starting a 3k mile road trip first thing in the morning.

the characteristics seem sort of diff.. like why wouldnt he reveal himself already? mhm...
this must mean something!!!

Richard is probably afraid that the sisters are going to sacrifice AM to some pagan volcano god.

LFG Volcano beings are something less than impressive. Richard killed one in like three panels.

Probably for the same reason he has been keeping his identity a secret in the first place. It's easier for him to do his manipulation if he can travel with them inconspicuously as a bunny. Don't imagine Cale would let him tag along if he knew who he was and what he'd been doing.


To be fair, it was Richard.

Yeah but he killed her by cutting her head off, Cale could have done that.

Seems to me, the reason why he cant is BECAUSE he knows the bunny is the AM. And because he knows of the AM's plan, he has to keep the bunny so the sisters will come.

If he hands it over, he knows that the sisters will be worshiping the AM, as a god, which isn't really right. And he knows the sisters wont follow them, which will make all the planing useless.

Wouldn't that mean Richard is trying to prevent the sisters from sacrificing AM to himself? He is the Mistress of Magma.

Like all great men Richard's greatest foe is himself. Richard can't allow that smug sonabitch Richard gain any more power.

Unless it was his plan all along to let Richards love of power consume him so he could use the power for himself!

Exactly. Now I'm afraid you know too much.
*fires eye beams*

We are gathered here today to mourn the passing of our beloved felbunny.
and witness the rise of skelbunny the skeleton bunny.

attachment richard style

Ahh, but when Richard killed the Mistress of Magma he became the new Mistress of Magma. Are you saying Richard is less than impressive, hmm?

He weighs less than ten pounds, of course he's less than impressive.

lol yeah but i feel bad for the bunny poor thing cant breath

I love how all evil mages seem to have a strong connection with bunnies. First it was Raistlin from DragonLance and now Richard has followed suit.
