How does Gid keep those giant shoulder pads on?

The same way she keeps that top of hers up.... magic.

i thought i was just the souls of little children forced to hold them up for her?

They stay on because they are drawn on, and it is hard for something already drawn to fall down. But that would make for an interesting side story, how her clothes stay on. It really doesn't look possible, they defy the law of gravity.

Well, there was Rae-Rae's slap bracelet theory, which I'm actually beginning to think might be plausible...

I have also wondered this. They dont seem to really be attached to anything per se except her skin. Staples?
As for her top, if you even call it that, it seems to be a part of her skin. She was born like that. So in all senses, she is in fact, topless.
That skank, that Benny is.

We're going to stick to the slap-bracelt theory of mine. Merely beccause I have boobies, and I understand what can and can't keep them up pretty well.

However, the shoulder pads can be tricky. There's not even any straps going under her arm or behind her back. It could just be that they're weighted so that the part over her collarbone (for example) slightly digs in and thus, kept up.

(hey, post #600! *parties*)

So they dig into her skin!!! Agh.

Glue? Ouch. That would sting when she walks.

Suction cups? Errrr. Let's not go there. Or better yet let's. Who are we kidding we go there and back every weekend, we might as well buy a loft and have some friends over.

Invisible straps? Sorry, mind still on the previous possibility. I'll get back to you.

No one has discussed the "because they can" or "because they feel like it" theory yet.

I imagine tiny pixies of sexiness keeping them on out of pure delight.

So, if we were to somehow make the pixies sad...

Then suddenly, no shoulder armour....

Don't lies make Pixies sad?

Lies, and the gingerbread house.

But how do we get Gid into the Gingerbread house?

Tell her that's where the sword of truth is hidden.

How did we go from armor to pixies to gingerbread houses to sexual innuendo involving the sword of truth? Oo; I'm going to start documenting these forums and write a paper on the processes involved in derailing discussions.

Seriously.

I could win a pulitzer for this stuff...it's just incredible...

Anyways, my theory for the shoulder pads: She is a healer, so her armor is probably all cloth based, right? Therefore those shoulder pads are probably really light. A springy brace thing attacted to the ridge of her shoulder at one end and the pad on the other end would easily hold it up.

EDIT: I just realized that this is pretty much what a "slap bracelet" is. So..in other words I would agree with Rae-Rae's theory.

Can I break him for making a WoW/DnD reference with the healer/cloth armour?

Yup. Also for mocking forumites. Both are capital crimes here. Break away.



Rae-Rae's theory dealt with Gid's top, not the pauldrons.

Those aren't pauldrons; they're orc sexual organs.

Don't ask.

Yeah, Gid/Benny's braclets are easy to figure out. They're too small at the wrist to slip off.

And back to the shoulders, I'm just going to throw my hands up in the air and say MAGIC, then go eat some Oreos

The magic Gid uses to keep her shoulder pads on is the same type she used to become an orc priest =p

Forgive me father, for I have sinned
And not the steamy, adulterous sex sin. Unfortunately.

Christians have been doing it for 6000 years! (which is when the earth was formed. By magic.)

I'm thinking she borrowed J Lo's tape from her green dress.

Nope, it was the original Carrie Fisher boobie tape.

I always love quizzing Christians on other religions older than 6000 years.

I like this theory best.

But that enduces the question as to how do they breed?

By spores?

Oh, there's some kind of intercourse involved. It's just not fit for human eyes.

And, Benny's a TROLL, not an orc. So they must be troll sexual organs. While I'm following that line of thought, what if one shoulder was male and the other female? She could sort of pollinate herself. Maybe her female appearance is one of choice; jiggling her jubblies is probably a more effective persuader than anything a male could do.

This, of course, makes her less a skank than a TEASE. "You see this body? You can't have it!"

I hate my job.

As this comic is apparently not DnD or WoW based, I think Benny is a platypus, just because I'm entitled to my own opinion. And her shoulder pads stay on because she asked them really nicely to stay on.

You are wise beyond logic.

Anyways, I say shes a Trorc.
Kinda like how politicians dont actually pick a side.

Anywho, I tried the magic and staples theory. What else...
Do they connect to her black thing at the back? Dont think they do but that might hit two birds with one stone.

i agree. well u see orc dosent have the organs as a human. well how i found out was when i slayed an orc and found out. well why not skinn her when shes down. and then i found out the scary part. oh man! its all coming back to me! mommy!

Gid has shoulder pads?? What shoulder pads?









"You can do anything in a cartoon"

Because Platypi are entirely fictional and no one has ever seen them?

That's right, we don't exist, move along, nothing to see here.

Maybe she's Krunch's and an Elf's love child?

What happens at the Druid's Grove, stays at the Druid's grove.

No, I looked on page 11, where Krunch is introduced by tackling the dragon. It shows her Shoulder pads are completely unattached to her top. Otherwise i would've posted that theory already. Good try though.

Maybe they're held up with spirit gum? /comic geek

They are drawn on, and so they stay on.

And I still say that Gid is a platypus.

Clearly, you're wrong. She's made of green Jello. The instant kind.

That makes her lime flavored!

Seriously, if she were made of green jello the shoulder pads would slip off. I think that they're held on by a very localized gravitational field that she generates with magic. Or maybe it's like DnD, where clerics' domains allow them certain specific powers, like the ability to speak with animals three times per day, except for her it's the ability to keep her clothes on without any apparent physical means.

Tried to equip Jello for war before have we?

Her clothes are held on by the power of comedic timing - which is to say, they will remain as they are until the perfect moment, when there will be a hilarious nipple slip, leading to wacky adventures.

Haven't you?

I think you have a point with the comedic timing theory.

Nope. They were molded in when the jello was formed. Like fruit. Except, you know. Armor.

Ahh, clever. But, wouldn't the weight of the leather cause her to collapse?

Who said it was leather? You got a particular reason for your mind going there right away?

Clearly it's baby skin.

Whatever she wears anyway, she is still hot. And no, i am NOT LESBIAN. i'm just showing my opinion that she actually has something besides what she wears. Benny is a great character, and we wouldn't want her shoulderpads to slide off.. would we?

Leather is just a common material for shoulder gaurds. Aside from metal. Both heavy. Few other things are functional.

Who said they had to be functional? Maybe they just make her feel pretty.

I certainly feel pretty when I put on my armour.

Then I get beat up, but it's worth it.

K you don't see straps but from what I'm guessing it's like a should mount. If I ever get a scanner, I'll draw out a diagram how it work but here it goes. It's basically mounted on her shoulder by weights and (as an example, an upside-down crutch end) with a loop (more or less, goes through the dress robe thingy) that rounds about her shoulder blade.

As her robe-bra, it's a cartoon so it has to stick to her. Otherwise (what it really be) is like a massive collar that opens up alot bigger and deeper on her chest. the flaps curl inward to hide profanity.
