2980 Switcheroo
Well good news! I live! With a few new little bits in my chest, I can carry on as always. So back to it, friends, let’s see what happens next to the visitors to YAFGC.
———————————-
Scale, Hank, Handler and Gertrude are all visiting us from “Cowboys and Crossovers”

Welcome back! Glad you’re well.
Welcome back.
Glad you made it through okay! Here’s to a speedy and restful recovery.
0.0 Handler can duplicate supernatural abilities!? How powerful is that?!
Given that he changes back quickly afterwards, I am guessing that while it’s possible, it probably rapidly drains his shapechanging energy pool.
I am pretty sure this story runs on dnd based on the info so far.
so, on the polymorph spell tree, it requires you have the 9th spell level shapechange. which is equivalent to things like a genie granting a wish
GREAT to have you back Rich, and with NEW PARTS too!
Also, seems nobody ever told stoned stupid there "it you’re going to shoot, SHOOT, don’t talk".
Ha! Nice, a Good, the Bad, and the Ugly quote!
And so apropos as well! 😀
That is quite the switcheroo there. Wow. With mimic powers that strong, I feel lucky that I didn’t get stoned when I read panel #8. I refuse to look at it again, just in case. 😉
Very nice holiday gift that you are well, Rich! So glad to see a new strip up so quickly. I’d prepared myself not to see anything until the new year.
Please take good care of yourself and make a full recovery.
Also:
"new little bits in my chest"
I suggest this might be a great theme for a small event in a strip or two. Could be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing, depending on who it happens to …..
Is that what they mean by a stent in the hospital?
Heheheh… I think you’re thinking of a ‘stint.’
I’ve got a couple of those in my chest too. I can say that I fully understand what motivated you to get them. I’ve had mine for a bit over 2-1/2 years at this point & I haven’t yet had any similar troubles for the same reason.
Hooray for medical science!
Good going! My Dad put it off too long and wound up in hot water. He was weeks in the hospital.
My dad has an artificial heart valve. If you sit with him in a quiet room you can actually hear it clicking open and shut.
Great to have you back 🙂
Panel 2: Irony. Delicious.
t!
Rich got well so soon – 1st surprise!
Gorgon powers from a mimic – 2nd surprise!
And I guess he didn’t "see" that coming, hnar hnar 😀
Welcome back Rich! Be sure to take good care of yourself and your new bits!
Welcome back, good to see you doing this again. Also did not know a pooka could mimic abilities like that. YO DM NERF POOKAS!!! OMG OP HAX!!!
Welcome back, Rich! Sending lots of good wishes for a speedy recovery, which is happening.
And to Handler, bravo! You go, pooka! Show ’em how it’s done. 🙂
good to have you back rich :3
Welcome back. I love the comic, great return.
Good to have you back Rich! 🙂
… and nice to get rid of that bloody Elf… in style! 😀
The Gods be praised for healing you!
Well now is that petrification a permanent enchantment?
Well, traditionally a Pooka like Handler is capable of perfectly mimicking anything or anyone they’ve encountered, though the more powerful the creature mimicked is, the more difficult it is to maintain for the Pooka. If it has to draw on any abilities, that can prematurely end the mimicked form, forcing the Pooka back into it’s natural form.
As for how permanent the stone gaze is… that’s up to Rich to decide.
Glad to see you back Rich! Hope all is well.
Excellent surprise, chiming in with the rest I didn’t see that coming. A changeling that can mimic abilities, that’s some power right there.
Wow. I expected a distraction, did not expect an effective Stone Gaze. Also, welcome back.
Aw, I was hoping to see if that Dark Mistress lands on the moon or missed it.
Oh well, there’s still some loose ends to wrap up here, planetside & a week or two in *comic time* before we’re likely to find out, huh?
Mistresses on the Moon: The Revenge
"That’s no moon. That’s the Mistress’s space station."
Glad you’re well! … wait, new bits? Like Ironman?
Well it’s about time! You slacker! I missed you. Anything for attention my cyborg friend.
Darn tootin! A cartoonist without attention is wasting his time, really.
Glad to hear you are okay!
I just got caught up, from taking a couple years away from all of my favorite comics. I hope Arachne doesn’t die… She’s my favorite… along with a few others…
Arachne got injected with her mother’s Kill Ranna Forever Serum. We got just a hair’s breadth away from seeing her conclusively dead. http://yafgc.net/comic/2913-final-confrontation/
Someone’s going to have to work *hard* to save her. Maybe Lewie or Ata could, assuming Ranna didn’t get to them first. Hopefully she thinks they’re too insignificant to pay attention to.
Very glad you are recovering. 🙂
Powerful pooka! So, now the question is, can gorgons turn those who have been stoned back to flesh? And if so, can Handler duplicate that? Because if so, that could rescue a number of stoned characters, most specifically Lucas and Cadugan. 🙂

Welcome back!
Glad that you’re better.
Good to hear you’re doing better my dad just went through that a few months ago. Miss reading your stories
Welcome back man 🙂
Nothing to do with the current comic, but you should do more Cap’n Fang.
Agreed. I want to bring him back too.
My *guess*, from a GM perspective, is that Handler’s Stone Gaze is going to be temporary, since he isn’t a "native" Gorgon. If I were a *mean* GM, I’d make it last only until he changed back, which happened approximately 0.5 rounds after he executed the spell. ^.^ Obviously, that didn’t happen here.
Will be interesting to see if my guess bears out.
Even if he did, it would still have been long enough to save Hank's dumb ass.
"I’m not going to make the mistake you did." No, you are going to give an overly-long monologue which gives one of his allies enough time to sneak up on you and kill you instead. However, I was not thinking it would Handler.
Sheriff Hank: Handler! I needed to question him. How am I going to that to a statue?
Handler: I don’t think it will be permanent. It should wear off in a few minutes, so bind him now and then when he is back to flesh, you can question him.
Sheriff Hank: Do you think you could imitate a dragon?
Handler: It can’t be that much larger than me. What are you thinking?
Woah, not only can he do humanoids as well as animals, he can mimic supernatural abilities? That's really powerful.
