11/16 - SuckerPunch 2: Electric Boogaloo

[bill]

Well, that's a solution.

[Aisha deCabre]

And luckily for Abel, a solution that they would probably understand about, what with the whole not believing Merlitz about the human thing.

On a side note, I believe we see the Amazon archer Skirmish in the background of the last panel.  Do I guess right?

An Amazon in Lost Lake while Dan's still here...waitaminute... 

[Zedd]

KERPOW! And down for the count people!

[Cogidubnus]

And here I was, betting on the 'yoink' maneuver.

Although, Abel's solution is smashingly well done here, eh?

[DigitalMan]

Wow, I don't think anyone saw that one coming...

Hey, I guess they really do have mind shields. Was that mentioned specifically because of the conversation in the last topic?

[Jack McSlay]

Abel's lucky he did have issues with them on the past

at least it wasn't a de-pantsu

[Wanderer]

*snerks* Great response, Abel! And lucky for you, you actually got it right. It's a legitimate response.

[Meech]

Here's a funny one.  Alexsi's mother was an Amazon.  Maybe Skirmish knows Alexsi or her mother.  That would really put Dan on the spot.

I'm more interested on Dan's reaction to her, and then realizing he's stuck as a girl for the moment

[Arcalane]

HEADSHOT![/i]

[Grenn]

Yup. That's Merlitz

And seamless to if he was really there.

So... mind shields, eh? I guess they need them for the line of work they are in.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

*snerks* Great response, Abel! And lucky for you, you actually got it right. It's a legitimate response.

The question is, is it one they'd expect from Abel?

mmmmm... yeah. I think so. :-)

[Zorro]

Boot To The Head!

[Faerie Alex]

I was thinking that last comic.  The reporter's reaction will be interesting too (to Danielle's reaction, that is).

I'd be more interested on seeing Alexsi's reaction to the reporter's reaction to Dan's reaction, than the reporter's...

I don't think Alexsi would be happy to see the article calling her a lesbian 

[NoAI]

Well... this looks well so far. Makes me kind of wonder how long this will pan out for Able. Five seconds? Five minutes? Hours? Will he be forced to completely and totally assume Merlitz's identity for the duration of a small adventure? If so I certainly hope his fire magic is up to date.

My imaginary two cents? Merlitz will probably come running though the door right when they are almost in the clear, having remembered about the whole tour thing, and realizing that even having half the world between him and Alex wouldn't keep him safe from her wrath.

[superluser]

Is it just me, or does Abelitz look off-model in panel 2?

Doesn't look like Merlitz's model, doesn't look like Abel's model.  Face is a little too short (edit: make that too long).

Not criticizing.  Just, y'know, saying.

[Aridas]

You know, with Abel's luck so far, chances are he MAY be able to escape by way of the guy he just so rudely punched apologizing for something that Abel doesn't know happened to Merlitz at one point... Sometimes flying blind can have its advantages. But after that it'll be tough sailing, only being able to go by what they tell him about their past as part of conversation...

[GabrielsThoughts]

"OMG! He's still angry about that time when we kicked him out of our Gay little club,  He must be Merlitz! how you doing buddy?"

Notes on the comic...

1. I saw this coming.
2. The real Merl would have probably done the same thing given the circumstances... only with a fireball and a nutcracker.
3.Abel is not the exclusive owner of the sucker punch...in any universe. 

[Alondro]

*Charline blinks*  My word... Is Abel actually dumber than Charles?  He, at least, would have the sense not to strike a perfect stranger!  Poor Dan.  This will likely become an all-out brawl and it'll be all Abel's fault... he should have let Pyro stay.   

[Azlan]

Yay!  I love the sucker punch!

[Zedd]

Yay!  I love the sucker punch!

Of course you do hun...

[twerve]

Wow.  That was weird.  I can never really expect what Amber will do next.  It's very crazy.  I also think there's a possibility that the comcis are sometimes based off of NOT doing what people say in the forum. 

[Distracting]

It's a proven fact that sucker-punches are the quickest way to break the ice (or a jaw) in a conversation. I can see Abel doing that though...he'd naturally feel really out of place in a situation like that.

[King Of Hearts]

There are non vio;lent ways to circumvent detection, Abel could have just read the guy's noggin to say the right things...

...but where is the comedy in that?

[Aridas]

He couldn't read it, he said so himself. mind shields.

[King Of Hearts]

*re-reads*

So I see.

[thegayhare]

Whats everyone complaining about Abels just staying in charactor.

sides merlits has reason to be angery

[Toric]

So when was Sucker Punch part 1? Back in Guys' Night Out With Wildy?

[Manawolf]

Indeed, unless he got in a two hit combo when we weren't looking.
