You don't need it to be vorpal to take them off by the neck.  Plus you still have to rely on that critical.

In other news, I still don't know how to take a hostage in MGS3 without slitting their throat.  I suck (Yet I've beaten the game with just about every camo, including all boss camos).

[Zorro]

P- Ducky?   

[Zedd]

Cute pet name for the Pyroduck...But..Yeah..I dought Abel and Pyro will ever be buds

[Madd the Sane]

Argh! I just had to post on the one that would get deleted.  Oh well.  My original post:

True.  That and now we are on the Mab and Co. arc... part... thing.  Now all we need to know is why 'Cubi hate dragons so much. *Pokes at lazy Amber reference*

That and there's 14 people on the forum right now!   

[Kasarn]

P- Ducky?   

I heard he drops the P in a year or so, so it's just Ducky

Yep yep yep >_>

[Manawolf]

And then add Kong to the end sometime after that.

But Pyro's a dragon, so wouldn't that make him Sharptooth?

[Manawolf]

The kobolds might have something to say to that.

[Fresnor]

The title bar of the comic has me craving gyros now though... Should go and buy the fixings for those sometime.

Um, did anyone notice Wildy leaping to her death in the first frame? 

[Tapewolf]

Um, did anyone notice Wildy leaping to her death in the first frame? 

Since Mab is watching her do it while still being more interested in her conversation with Pyroduck, I'd assume it's a drop of two or three feet rather than a sheer cliff.

[bill]

You're interfering with my speculation.

[Tapewolf]

It's starting to look like Pyro could be vulnerable in his humanoid form.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It's starting to look like there's dragon-specific hardware out there, to cope with the invulnerability of the skin. Or that's how I'd see it...

Possibly, but that would mean that he's revealed his dragonness to Mab.  If she already knew that she would also have known that Aary, Abel and any other SAIA-educated 'cubi would go utterly berserk when they found out what he was.

Jabberwocky
by Lewis Caroll

    'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

    'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
    Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!'

    He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought--
    So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.

    And as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
    Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

    One, two! One, two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
    He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

    'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
    O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
    He chortled in his joy.

    'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

edit: I bolded the relevant parts if anybody can't be bothered...
edit 2: HURRRRR maybe I should credit the poem

[ShiningShadow]

I think he hsa the acrutements to protect him from harm and make him invulnerable. Remember he's a dragon and they hoard like hamster's . So he got the cool stuff he is wearing to protect him.

[ShiningShadow]

I think he has the acruments to protect himself from harm. Besides he's a dragon and he hoards like a hamster. Therefore the cool stuf he is wearing to protect from everything.

[Gabi]

This still doesn't explain the "insert hand" thing. Why did she do it? And what's souvlaki?

[Sid]

I guess the "insert hand" thing was just Mab trying to break the ice, a silly scene with no real impact.

And yay! Looks like we'll stay with the rescue party for a while! *cheers*
I love Mab's "Hmmmmm..." pose in the third panel. You just KNOW the result will be silly

Edit:
*stares at the lower left corner of the comic* Did Amber get divorced already?  ()

[Alondro]

*Charline thinks the Jabberwocky got a bad rap!*  Just like dragons... and my mother!  Humans are always blaming us for eating them!  Is it our fault that people are edible?   If they don't want to be devoured, they should be poisonous or have thorns or something.   

*Charles edges away from Charline, for she gets bitey at times like this*     Uhm, I wonder if Pyro's hiding his tue identity from Mab because fae have a certain degree of animosity toward dragons too.

[Alan Garou]

Anybody else notice how amazingly hot Wildy looks in the first panel?
Also, for a second there, the positioning of Mab's antennae made it look as if Pyro had a Shikon shard.

hey! Keep Polymer City Chronicles out of it! :-)

What in the world is Polymer City Chronicles? I was referencing Inuyasha. Which reminds me, Wildy's hair in the first panel looks like Inuyasha's does when he's running. Hmmm... (speculates wildly)

An interesting bit to note is that this first portion was originally published as "Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry," which should provide some indication as to why the words look like they *should* be English.

I think Mab must know he's a dragon. Why else would he mention the attack was with a vorpal blade and not just say Abel attacked him. Maybe the two elder races can sense each other and she's known from day one and fae just don't care about the fight. Or if, as has been speculated, this is just a Fa'Lina predjudice spred to SAIA students she doesn't know.

Mab knows Fa'lina, so if it is some weird inter-racial spat that Fa'lina is propagating, she will know about it.

Or maybe it's yet another joke lost among speculation. >_>

This comic is getting less comicy the more people try to dissect the jokes

[ShiningShadow]

I got the jokes they are a scream  . Anywho I think Falina is spreading things about Dragons that we don't know about. What made her so against Dragons in the first place.

I kinda noticed...I think Amber is not only drawing characters cute, but also sexy as well...Oh great...Thanks a lot! Now that one side of my mind is active!

Back on topic, I think I'm beginning to see something in the plot unravel...
