Drawn by Ron Bender (Well, when they aren’t being drawn by me, that is…)
… the big question now is whether Jone is within out outside the shield when its raised… 😐
Was just thinking that
Now they got her mad… awww crap…
And thinking that as well
He’s got a Magic Screen – just like Pee Wee!
Idries still alive!? Jone must have a bad day…
Well, it’s not like she was stopped before she could finish him off… oh wait, yes she was 😛
…is she… smiling? o.O;
Certainly seems like it
i think that disintegrate actually RE-integrated her.
I’m thinking she succeeded on the fort save there… but yes, she DOES seem a little more whole there.
Idries "The Idiot" should have lifted Scale from the other side, she is wincing because he is making her put her injured arm around him
Well maybe if Guesticus "The Dumbass" had looked at panel 3 he might have noticed that her injured arm isn’t around him.
… WHERE is her injured arm? I hope they didn’t left it on ground.
Hehehe, no. I tried to draw it in but it’s on an angle where you can’t see it. It’s on her lap. And still [mostly] attached.
He still shoulda picked her up from the other side
Not for story telling purposes. Line of action, staging, blocking…
In before trigger discipline while pointing gun at Idries’ chest. 🙂
Just want to point out, not disputing the artistic (and creator) reasons, just that so far, everything that Idris has done has been idiotic (admittedly he probably didn’t know what a pistol was or what it could do)
Everything in this scene? You mean holding the door open for the people to get in? Rushing out to distract the monster he knows is unstoppable to try to save Scale? Scooping her up and rushing her inside away from the unstoppable killer?
Oh, I think you’ve confused "Idiotic" with "Bravery" and "Chivalry" and "Heroic".
Yeah, and a lot of the time, "Bravery" _is_ an act of idiocy
But again: _he_ knew what Jone was like, an unstoppable killing machine, instead of going out and showing off and dying alone, he should have let Hank at least help by dragging Scale to safety while he distracted Jone by throwing himself onto her sword and weighing down her arm while she shakes off his corpse
What would have happened if Scale had not been able to use her pistol against Jone? There would have been _two_ dead (critically injured at the best) people and Jone would still have been beating down the door
Don’t know what you have planned, or even to begin to imagine what you have next, just commenting on what you have shown us so far
Again, this is _not_ a critique on your work as an artist and storyteller, but a reflection on the characters as if they were real people
Have been reading your work for around eight years (don’t believe was here from the beginning, but at least within the first couple hundred issues) and have enjoyed it, but like any other form of entertainment there are some things (and characters) that bug me, and Idries’ actions the last couple pages have been one of them (do not believe ever said he was not Heroic or Brave, just that he was being an Idiot)
Guesticus, you’ve left no doubt at all about your dislike about several, if not all, of the characters in this comic. You’ve certainly made it known through your posts about Cadugan, Eddie, Runtherd, Idries. And sure they’re fictional, so it’s not going to hurt them any.
Yet you seem to have forgotten, or you don’t care, that Rich is real. You forget or ignore not only the time, effort, and skill, that he’s put into creating these characters, but the care he has for them. Sure these characters have their faults, their failings, their foolish mistakes. But they also show many examples of courage, loyalty, strength, determination. And it’s that heart that Rich puts into these people of the YAFGC world has to make your taunts and constant ridiculing of them not only annoying but frustrating to Rich.
You may think it’s all fun and harmless since none of the characters are real. But you are also aware that your mockery does get to the creator. In one of your earliest posts you had asked if that mocking was okay, because you admitted that it had gotten you banned from more than one comic’s forum.
So I’m asking you to drop the taunts and the name changes of the characters at the very least. Remember that there is a real person behind this comic, and he does care about his characters very much for all the flaws and failings that he’s given them. They are in a very real sense his children.
Dave Wilson.
Actually, that’s the complete opposite: personally view _all_ the characters as being real, and as such not being able to call them out on their "flaws and failings" is like not being allowed to call out politicians or sports stars or other celebrities for when they do something stupid
Have a mental problem where remembering (or even using) names is a problem, that’s why a lot of the time come up with an alternate name as both a way for me to remember who they are and for me to say their name
And no, not going to use The First Amendment as an excuse as not an American
I’m no american, but even if i was, i’d say that if you got the right to say everything, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
People have feelings, people have Temper and people are allowed to react if you insult them.
And yeah i would give nicknames to some chars 2, but wouldn’t use them if I’d Tick off other people with it.
Just respect BK and his work, as well as his defense of his work. We are all here cause we like them and Check 3 times a week, cause we Do. Without his love There would be no yafgc. No new comic. No comments and no room for you to talk about.
Sry if you don’t understand. It’s kinda difficult to put into words what i want to say in another language
Picking her up the way he did is fortunately putting pressure on her wound thus preventing or at least slowing the bleeding that is definitely the biggest risk to Scale’s life at the moment.
Ignoring the distressingly happy half-orc revenant outside the tower. Though given the amount of damage Jone’s sucked up, I’m beginning to think she’s closer to being Ranna’s Zin-Carla. Which is bad to those who don’t understand what that is.
Get my girl inside and maybe Hank will forgive you for the door slam.
I think slamming it behind them is reasonable, all things considered. 🙂 I hope that door is magically reinforced though…
No, Wheels was referring to slamming the door on Hank
Ah, the previous slam then, not the current one, got you. Unfortunately, Hank probably looked unarmed to Idries.
That is one very tough skull….Or a very soft bullet.
Undead Fortitude is bad enough… Epic Divine Undead Fortitude is just rubbing it in!
The title really says it all, doesn’t it.
What does it take to kill her?!?!?
Seriously, they just keep hitting her with shit and she keeps getting back up like the freaking Terminator.
I was just thinking about that… and then I thought of the last few minutes of a movie called "Fargo".
Heh heh heh…
Last time, Jordan, it took Lewie and a whole lot of dwarven liquor (grog?)…..

lol, just keeping hearing the Terminator theme in the two last panels..dum-dum-dum-dum…
Have been enjoying this webic for nearly eight years, have been checking in everyday (before doing anything else, always manually enter the URL), but it seems no longer welcome here
Truly hope this webic continues for another 20 years
8 years?
So, you have been here twice as long as I have, and you have never joined the Forum?
Well, guess it ain’t for everyone.
Honestly, why don’t you take a few months off from commenting and maybe stop hanging on every new page. I wander off for a few weeks and then catch up all the time.
It all looks better a chapter at a time instead of a page at a time anyway…. just like any other book.
Don’t have an email
Not sure how only reading one months’ worth of pages at a time will magically stop someone from doing something idiotic
Guesticus, I am sure you are still welcome to read and comment here. Some people just get defensive for their favorite artists.
You are certainly allowed to state how you think the characters are idiots. That’s just the thing though— people, in real life, are also often idiots, and even the smartest people make some very simple and dumb mistakes.
Is there a difference between "shieldlock" and "magic screen" ?
t!
Jone’s not dead, she’s only resting.
How on earth is she still alive? Seriously, if even a high level wizard can't kill her, what *can*?
