Rich Morris' Comics - YAFGC and The ComixBlog

Timely save .

Well the one thing that shows Glon had it better was that he had friends, human friends who went out drinking with him. He was a part of human society, not just someone to be bullied and pitied, and it showed in how strongly he reacted when Lucas offended his family. The White Eyes on the other hand are far more obliging, maybe because of their gender. Also as Madame White Eye has a tavern, not a smithy, she has to show she is far more civilized, sweet and non threatening than a stableboy or a smith has to be.

Just joined to say that I think that she is the cutest thing in this webcomic yet.

I also find her plight very compelling. As a person with aspergers syndrom, I know what it is like being the outsider, and am curious to see how this is resolved (if it is).

I wonder how vicious she can be. She is raised to be docile and sweet but she is raised by an orc and the tendency to render small animals apart etc etc could still be there!

Of course that could have just been Glon's frustration over not being able to fight back when Lucas picked on him.

So what career do you think a young but spunky half-Orc girl should go into? We know what is being avoided but what options do you suggest, what do you think would not be good?

My guess is that she might try for an apprenticeship with the Blacksmith but currently she is a bit on the small side. Give her some instruments, see if she has the makings of a Bard. It might be a life on the road but if she joins with some of the other Bards in YAFGC it would be interesting to say the least.

She wouldn't be able to sing (presumably), so if she goes Bard, she'd need to join a band. Or play some sort of mouth instrument. Flute, clarinet, kazoo, one of those one-man-band setups...

Well, if we talk D&D classes, I would say fighter would probably be where she would go. She seems to be strong for her small frame, and blacksmithing wouldn't conflict with that at all. I personally can't see her as a bard. She doesn't seem to have enough charisma (in either the D&D sense or the actual sense) to draw any crowds. Glon at least had friends and was well liked (not to mention seems to have a pretty easy time with the ladies) enough that they would assosiate with him despite what he was (and they all knew what he was, just didn't have the heart to tell him, at least, that's how I saw it.)

I never got any indication that anyone had a clue what he really was.

well they sure as hell knew he wasn't no half-elf.

Did they? No one ever really said otherwise, which make sit hard to believe since none of them had any reason to care about supporting his delusions. And we have only seen two half orcs so far so it's not like they had anyone to compair him to.

Glon had people scoff at his parentage, calling his mother an animal, so they at least suspected something was fishy with him but still he was the smith's son, and was a part of a human family. Despite something being odd with him, he had friends and companions. In Jone's situation the first thing one will notice will be her definitely non human mother and then the fact she does not speak. And while Glon's strength as a smith's son and a male was a plus, for a female bartender it is another sign of weirdness.

But strength aside i could not see her as a fighter. She seems too young and innocent to be pictured with a sword, killing for a living, though with all the sleaze around her she may have to defend herslef and her mother soon. I would think of her as a person doing something with her hands, but something creative -an artisan maybe.

Suggesting his mother was an animal doesn't really incidate anything. He was ugly with no mother, that's an easy way to take shots at him.

Now, I'm not saying they didn't consider he wasn't entirely human but nobody ever hinted they thought he was half-orc, in fact we even had one strip with a guy who was being friendly to him and insulting orcs with no clue of Glon's parentage.

IMO if anything, a theif. possibly an assasin. she seems like she could grow into the habit of not being seen.

Maybe Queen Clover wants a court assassin/rogue...

She can be seen killing people and doing her old job right!?

clover should tottaly become Jones new teacher
