When I hear "bedroom" and "soundproofed" I am afraid my mind goes straight into the gutter, and I guess "cabin" is close enough to "bedroom" that I first thought it was some kind of sex-related joke.
In my humble opinion, the joke would have worked better as "My little brother, the bard! If I had known you were coming I would have laid in a stock of earplugs."
Thanks for making a really enjoyable comic. The story and characters are really strong and I enjoy the epic scope of the plots.
CpnDarcy: "Push us off, Mr. Rivers!"
King Runtherd: "…..Pushing off *what*, exactly?"
Mr. Rivers: "Oh, it’s your first time on an airship, isn’t it your Majesty? Come on back to the stern then. You won’t want to miss seeing THIS!"
(K.Runtherd follows the voice to the back railing of the stern. Mr. Rivers waves for him to stand beside him, looking out over the rear end of the ship.)
Mr. Rivers: "Ready for this, Your Majesty? I’m going to ‘Push Off’ the ship from where it’s ‘moored’ floating in mid-air. Watch carefully now…"
K.Runtherd: "Yes, you have me intrigued. Do go ahead."
(Mr. Rivers puts both hands on his hips, and leans back, inhaling a big long breathe, then…)
Puff puff puff puff puff puff
(blowing it all out in a whoosh.
(King Runtherd looks down at the ground below the ship, then around the stern, trying to see the effect of this strange ritual. The ship appears not to have moved at all.)
(All he hears is poorly restrained snickers coming from the *entire group* he came with, behind him. His face slowly turns red.)
David: "Yup. That prank for first-timers never gets old. It’s the look of confusion that cracks me up the most."
K. Runtherd: "…I’m not sure if making an ass of the King is technically considered a form of lesser treason… but I’m bringing it up at the next meeting with my legislators if it’s somehow not yet."
Pick up your copies of YAFGC Volumes 1 - 5 at our online store. Multi-book bundles and sketch editions available.
Oh now this is gonna be good!
My brain’s not computing Darcy’s last sentence here.
That’s probably your brain attempting to save on the bleach 😛
Caelin’s a bard.
Ah.
He got bar’d for playing loud music 😛
No, just _bad_ music 😛
Surprised I’d didn’t get told off for telling a bard joke 😛
Thank you for clarifying, Rich.
Ah, i thought about something completly different.
Involving the handsome sailors of the sky.
*gg*
Note to self: don’t come here straight from Oglaf.
Hmm I don’t know. The sorry about the murders song was likely way better than what Caelin considers "musical talent".
Second note to self: stop referencing other webcomics on these comments threads.
Why can’t you mention other webics? o_O
It was other webics that led me to YAFGC 🙂
Same here, can’t remember what was reading 10 years ago though, there is a small handful that are still around

Butt, it’s funner when readers’ minds go in the better direction 😀
There’s a Mr. *Rivers* on an airship.
t!
Has a nice ring to it.
Better than Mr Rocks or Ms Plummet…

There is no such thing as soundproof – only sound resistant.
