Rich Morris' Comics - YAFGC and The ComixBlog

She did not fool her, but she certainly used her for her own purposes and this is a from of manipulation -actually the subtler, the better. The fact that Jone was in for the ride did not make Gilda any less of a manipulator.

You do all realize that this means Gilda is a subtle and devious schemer. Gilda. o_o Gilda, representative of a species which is more or less collectively off its rocker in YAFGC, and who has claims to have visions. That Gilda.

She might actually have visions, we've got proof. So she just mixed fact with normal kobold craziness.

Think Savonarolla. He was not exactly sane, yet he was able to take way too many people along for the ride. Granted, it is not the subtle manipulation talked about above, but there was a kind of deviousness in Gilda which was fitted to her crazy.

I do not think Gilda acted very subtly; still she did deviously make the situation work in the way she wanted (until Lewie got rid of Jones that is).

Regarding species; it's true that kobolds are generally portrayed as the less bright in YAFGC still that does not make all kobolds so.

In fact, I'd have to say Gilda seems quite intelligent (albeit a little crazy yeah) and we might not have seen the last of her yet! (She still has some followers if I recall correctly)

While Captain Fang might not necessarily be dumb per say but we cannot rule it out yet. Yes I like him, but I do recognize he might just be lucky as hell.

Into every group of beings considered of lower intelligence there are bound to be the higher functioning few.
