Chapter: The Little Librarian
Characters: Princess Sharc FitzGlamor, Queen Glamor
Location: Castle Elegrost, Kingdom of Elegrost
Once again, sorry for the absence and thanks for sticking with me (assuming some of you still are, that is.) Been busy and harried and having some anxiety…. Nothing terrible is happening, just feeling a bit overwhelmed with day-to-day life stuff that sneaks up and says boo. Childhood activities, back-to-school shopping, visits from oversees friends, holidays, etc.
Trying to get my brain back into my YAFGC world, it’s a fun and happy place for me -even if the characters aren’t having so much fun.
Love you all!
-Rich “BK” Morris
Glad to have you back.
Safe assumption. 😉
Thanks for coming back!
Glad to see you back. RL can be overwhelming and YAFGC is a happy place for many of us <3
Of course we still are! Glad to know it’s nothing terrible ) and I’d think we all know how busy life can get…
And with that, I think, it was summed up how we all feel. 😉
*hugs* I’m still here!
You can’t get rid of me THAT easily! MWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! 😀 Glad toknow you are OK, and totally understand how life can do that THING… (I’m about to move, Believe me I UNDERSTAND!) 😀
Welcome back =)
Just glad to hear from you!
Welcome back, Rich! Of course RL takes precedence, and it can absolutely can get a bit much at times. We’re still here. 🙂
Oh … By Ch’Thier’s Most Glorious Tits! OF COURSE I’m still here! I’ve lost track of the number of days you’ve saved my sanity over the last decade, with well-turned pun or well-turned curves or (often) both.
You vowed unto us that you wouldn’t leave without cause and warning, and that if the Unforeseen should happen that Someone would drop in and keep us informed.
My vow is that I’m with this until the end, or I draw Last Breath, whichever comes first. And, if I can keep reading after Last Breath, I intend to do so. My duty to you is to not worry (excessively) and keep wishing you & yours the best. And always remember to give thanks.
Cheers, Rich! Blessings and good health upon you and your family. Very happy nothing bad came up and Thank You, always, for sharing.

So. That Queen Glamor. Seems to have sowed some Karma and now the harvest is coming due. Kind of hoping Princess Sharc dodges the worst of Fate. Been speculating in the back of my head canon that we’re going to meet one of her descendents. If we haven’t already. The Princess Shaija has come to my mind as a possibility.
Princess Shaija of the Red Orcs came with her people from another dimension, didn’t she, when The Keeper invaded? Then the Red Orcs stayed after The Keeper was defeated. That was also where the original batch of Mistresses came from, I believe.
You believe correctly!
Nah, I’ll always look back here, at least until the day you ring the bell, close the book, and blow out the candle. It’s been alternately a busy and hard summer. On my end of things, so many have died. I need that magic powder stuff that started this chapter. Failing that, good company and something to read has gotten me through. I will gladly wait as long as it takes for whatever pages you can give.
Welcome back! You take care of you and your responsibilities and we will be here waiting patiently for your updates.
Great writing on your part. I think this story within a story might be one of your best.
I think Glamor had gone "Full Orc" at the strip prior to this one.
As an orc you have to rule from power and the scum who killed her daughter challenged that power.
One of those noticeable things watching the passing of time is that she stuck with trying for peace with the orcs long after the father(s) of her child(ren) had probably been killed. She became accepting of that being the orc way, even if she was frustrated with not being able to move forward with her plans of unifying the races.
Even with the incursions that the orcs made against her people she pressed for peace. It was when some of her subjects retaliated in the worst possible way directly against her that she snapped, seeking not just revenge against those who did the deed, but any she might suspect. However, I am sure she observed the same activities in the orc kingdom. They have not been shown to be loving towards the children of their former leaders.
I perceive that Glamor has made a change in her wardrobe.
t!
The bare head in Panel 4 is a nice touch, too.
t!
Rich, no worries. Family, work, and other real life stuff has to come first. You take the time you need, and be sure to take some time to rest so you can reduce those anxiety levels.
As others have said already, we’re here, and we’re sticking with you. You’ve brought us lots of entertainment and your comic has helped a lot of us through tough times. All the best, and thank you.
Nice to see you back, but eww the garrotte!
There’s a book called The Gun about this huge ancient gun that fired massive stones balls. There’s garotting in it that takes two pages. Ruined me for THAT one, I’ll tell ya!
You do what you need to, fella^^ We love your work, and it is appreciated- don’t feel guilty about dealing with real life for our sakes!
That said, I’m loving this arc even as I’m horrified by Glamor’s descent from naivety into rage. I’m definitely curious to see how Princess Sharc comes from her mother’s madness to become the ‘too compassionate’ half-orc that Gruumsh couldn’t make use of.
Of course I’m still here … RSS is fantastic technology.
… are there additional two panels above the ones we see?
Yes, they line up with the previous page.
On a human level, this is tragic. But seen from a higher level, this is natural selection of culture.
So this story will probably be taken over by the librarian soon, since this guy thought she had been killed. I wonder if the details in the panels will change when we switch from first person accounts to historical accounts.
"…and thanks for sticking with me (assuming some of you still are, that is.)"
Since I discovered this comic, I have checked every single day. You have no worries there 🙂
Every single day? Now THAT’s amazing.
I’m probably gonna die before this comic ends, but I’ll be looking it up for updates on my deathbed. :V
Glad to have you back!
Like everyone else has said–totally understand Real Life issues, especially with family.
And I’ve got no plans to go anywhere. 😀
What they said 🙂
Just glad you’re well. Thank you again for the amazing stories!
The axe the woman warrior is wielding in panel 2 is HUGE !
Yo! I’ve outlasted your recess, just like many others!
I would say that I’m glad to see you’re back, but that would mean that I would be happy to see you going…And that’s not true.
á—’Ê–á—•
So what I *will* say is that I’m glad to see you’ve returned & that it’s good that it wasn’t anything serious that kept you absent. As the old saying goes, "Life is what happens to you while you’re making other plans."
