O dear heavens. Frowning sadfaced Gronk worm. This chapter really does have the best faces. You know, rather than summon anything, Blue could have done something to manipulate everyone's feelings/perceptions. Edit: Seriously can't stop laughing at the frowning worm.

Of all the words I never expected to ever see Tom use, "jabronis" was pretty high up there on the list.

Are they reacting to Red being called Red there? Wait, has she never been called Red before?

Okay, everyone, back to studying. Guess this little game's a bit too much for Annie.Male Man posted:It's not exactly what you're asking, but some anonymous My Little Ponies fan or collection of fans spent hundreds of dollars forcing MLP avatars onto TFR posters. It's oddly colorful in there.

Pretty sure they're reacting because Red wasn't expecting to be called out, and Blue wasn't expecting Annie to go along with it, since she was doing the whole thing to draw attention away from Annie anyway. I dunno, though, but I am certain we shall find out for sure on Friday!

So I've just started reading this webcomic at the start of the latest chapter, and I've only got the vaguest idea of who everyone is and what is going on, but I don't want to stop reading because the art is just so incredibly charming! It's also the reason I haven't gone into the backlog and marathoned it from the start to know the story. Holy poo poo, he has improved so much, but honestly, when I saw the first chapter's art I just decided to stick with the pretty stuff. I hope you this thread doesn't hate me for that, but I am going to start following this from where it is now.

Yeah, man, it makes no difference to us, but it's kind of like coming into a restaurant where everyone is eating and going "No, no, I don't want a menu. Your starters sound gross. Ham and melon? Ugh. Just bring me some of those delicious little mints I can see at the next table, and I'll pick up this michelin dining thing as I go along." Your review is going to suck, is what I'm saying.

Of course if the art really bothers you you can always read the comic backwards until you hit the early few chapters.

Well yeah, you CAN, but it'd be like starting with "Rosebud was his sled". poo poo, spoiler alert. e: also, I don't think the early art was that bad, it's just that everything after it was so much better that it looks terrible by comparison.

Seriously dude, go back and read from the start. The early art is still drat good, just more stylized. The early chapters chip along at quite a pace and you'll be through the old art in no time at all. You will seriously have NO idea what is going on if you start from here, it's a dumb idea.

Clearly, Annie is upset with Red's insinuation that the Gol-Shogeg isn't even a real thing right to it's face. Way to be cruel to the death worm Red! Look at it's sad face!

I laughed once at the peaceful death scene, laughed again when Annie called out Red for spoiling the moment, then laughed a third time when I looked back and saw sadworm among the mourners. Well done!

The sad worm is great, but the best thing for me is Blue's incredibly smug corpse. e: Here, have an avatar.   What a consumate actress. Actually, taking into account Annie's standards for acting back in "From the Forest She Came", I'll say it is entirely posible she has entirely believed on Blue's act.

I'm guessing the surprise at the end is that she was called "Red". This is Her Getting A Name, I think. To us all she was "Red", but was she ever called that in the comic?

Yeah, she was never directly named Red by anyone, at least on panel. And, oh man, that sad worm. should I even ask what the hell is a jabroni? e: and, not to kill anyone's buzz, but all this earlier silliness in fiction is usually there to make the blow of upcoming nasty look even worse. Next chapter's not going to be a happy one. vvv that strangely makes it even more confusing Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Feb 1, 2012 |

I'm guessing that Red is going to say "What? You don't know my name?". Which causes Annie to say "You don't even know her (blue's) name!"

No, she's upset because someone just 'died' in front of her. Apparently she's kind of obtuse.

I'm thinking that faeries have some derpy rule about names wherein the first person to refer to you with a proper noun (or anything with a capital first letter (they can tell)) names you. Maybe they're surprised because this is a faux pas of some kind because they're not allowed to change it so you're kind of a jerko if you go around slinging names, or maybe getting a name is like a faerie bat mitzvah. I'm also thinking Shoggy only ended up looking like that because Annie described it before Blue "summoned" it.

That would be awesome. The other fairies get fanciful or whimsical names like Ogee and Torus, and now Red is stuck with a freaking color.

The best of part of the comic is how everyone is now perfectly okay with the presence of the worm, even though they were running from it in terror only two pages ago. Clearly, they were all in on it from the start.
