Rich Morris' Comics - YAFGC and The ComixBlog

What? Is Mah'ri behind that? Why would an interracial school accep such a topic?

Hmmm.

Interesting development, this.

I suppose it's not all that crazy that Mah'ri might play nice to ingratiate herself among all the other Mountain inhabitants -- and then try to push her own agenda through.

As to why people might accept it -- natural Charisma plus possible charm sources...who knows?

Have to LOL at the idea of a highly Chaotic Evil species bothering with something that tends to be strictly defined like a curriculum -- surely it's the Lawful Evil types that do such things! -- to say nothing of the paradox of Drow teaching ethics.

Now I really want to see where this is going.

I love old-school YAFGC feel to the artwork in this strip! I thought the browser to me to the beginning of the comic at first.

Looks like we are about to see how much evil is behind Mah'ri's smile sooner than later.

Great to see Gren back.

Also, from a Drow perspective taking over the school system makes a lot of sense. When you live so much longer than most of the other major species you can afford to play a long game. Let Queen Maula rule unchallenged for a few decades, and then see how secure King Glon's rule is after a couple of generations of kids have been raised on stories of Drow natural leadership.

If anything, the Drow are moving too quickly. I suspect the ease with which she overthrew her sister has made the new Drow queen overconfident.

She still seems to be acting in the long-term interests of her people, though it lacks subtlety.

Kinda wonder how that curriculum reform passed, though, since the Drows aren't the one in power. I guess she merely pulled in a favor.

The thing I like about (Mah'ri?) is that she gets so much of it right and yet seems to leave a suprising number of massively gaping flaws in her plan. It's a nice kind of 'Nearly' feel to her insidiousness.

I don't think her success has made her overconfident. I think she was already that way before we ever saw her.

War. It creates a "justification" in the minds of the children for the actions of the "superior" race. (I wonder which Reicht this will be for the Mountain.)

That depends. Do they count by race, or overall?
