Comic for August 21st, 2009

[FastChapter]

The old man strikes again! I sense Ms. Fox contemplating a self-sacrifice...

...wait, I have the first thread? ABOUT TIME!

[Calligrapher]

Laura's got a I'm-going-to-make-an-heroic-sacrifice look. What is that pendant/necklace she has?

[Gotheran]

hey im acctually early to a topic! Tense! self sacrifce, probobly not that bu somthing vaugely heroic. i only hope that alabastor get his comeuponce. realy what i expected though, i mean that would be taking the easy way out by knocking out the tower now. we all expected that natani would hit right? well heres food for your face. lol. i think were missing the important fact though! Where's the potato sack!? roflamo. He's the real hero in the story! seriously though i hope he finishes the chapter, up quick we need more story development, i mean the gangs not even been back to the main land yet. this arc is getting quite old, exiting and tense, but old.

probobly a picture of her and keith.

[Surrube]

shawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?????? im actually on the first page? lol, win!

Tom seems to be upping the anti with all these recent posts!

[AfroMonkey]

I KNEW IT!!! I knew Alabaster wasn't done!!
And hey. look's like the Laura theories may be bearing fruit too!

I can only hope my theory of Keith the foolhardy hero distracting him will happen while Laura does her work! (If she does)
Don't leave us hanging, Tom!

EDIT: Also, what's that shiny big, crack on the tower on the fourth panel? Are we seeing some strain here? I would post the page but that's usually a job/choice for the topic starter...

Looks like that's where the arrow got deflected to. Bet those cracks slowly expand over the next few comics and end up destroying the tower anyway.

Wow Tom's on a roll with all these updates. Nice job Tom!!!
Anyways, I guess Laura may end up sacrificing herself for the team. I thought we abandoned that theory long ago... oh well. Alabaster's up to his usual dose of craziness again and Natani failed?!
This is the first time in a while I'm actually really into seeing an update!!!

To be fair, she didn't miss.

[Tschudy]

Yeah, he's really been hauling [censored] with the updates this week.

[Some_Young_Punk]

Ever since I loined, Tom has always updated while I'm online. It's a conspiracy!

Laura's got a I'm-going-to-make-an-heroic-sacrifice look.

Most definetly going to do something that's gonna hurt her.

[CrRAR]

Hmm...Natani has some ostensibly troubling slashes to her back but has not yet acknowledged them to any serious degree.

Spin Effect FTW! Oh, and will someone please just stab Alabaster? Thanks ^.^

[MadMann135]

Laura has that 'looking at something personal and important for the last time' look which means she is about to make her heroic move.
...That or someone will yell "Alabaster and that tower were hurting Flora."

Looking at Natani's back I am wondering where did those slashes and cuts come from? I do not remember her getting into a fight where that happened, that or I am overlooking something.


With any luck Tom will keep up this schedule for next week.

[Mr.Awesome]

Gasp, I am *shocked*... haha, shocked...

But anyways, can't really imagine the old fart can do much at this point, what with the blue-haired demon not far off. If he were to zap the group again...

Unless he has some 1-target spells up his sleeve, he can't really do much but sit there and look menacing

[Zookz]

Maybe it was Alabaster's arc-lightning from before that causes the slashes? I mean, sure, that doesn't make any sense but nor do the slashes just appearing on them own.

Or, you know we might just be over-thinking it and Tom may of just added them for a dramatic "epic battle scars" effect.

Anyways, I will be sad if Laura dies Sure, if any character needs to to be killed off, she's really the best choice (being old, only joining the group recently), still, as I've said in another thread, I just feel sad for Laura and what happened with her and Keith.

PS: I do want Alabaster to try and zap them again. Seeing his face be torn off by tentacle rape would be funny.

[ConkerBirdy]

Go Tom go! That was a really fast update. o_o

WE MUST DELIVER GOD (that being Tom) A SACK OF POTATOES FOR HIS AWESOMENESS!
