dirrh I'm dan 1/5/06

[GabrielsThoughts]

hmm, Amber needs to watch more scrubs reruns to really make Abel's personality shine.

[Faerie Alex]

And, in other news, Mab is now grapes. Soon, we'll be able to make a fruit salad.

[Caswin]

Clever use of shapeshifting by Abel.  Nice.

[Boog]

Heh. He is getting a tad predictable. I honestly don't see why he'd think Jyrras had a problem with his cubidom though. He has shown no sign whatsoever of treating him differently. Hell, he's the one who gave him the bracer patch. Expensive piece of equipment there, and he handed it over for a friend in need. And he's worried about Jyrras trusting him?

[Aisha deCabre]

Indeed.  Dan needs to get over a few security issues, but he can't seem to handle them one at a time.  First the Cubi thing and now poor Jy-Jy... 

On a lighter note...I absolutely LOVE Abel's expression in the last panel.  The first comic in a while that actually made me snort loudly.   

[Hellcat]

Abel won't be like that for long once Dan tells him who Jyrras' new crush is, hehe

[superluser]

Gentlemen, I do believe someone owes me a Coke.  I said that there would be at least one more strip with an Abel punchline, and there was.  And a reference to Abel reading Dan's thoughts.

Furthermore, dancing.

Also, Jyrras is, by definition, afraid of Dan, now that Dan's an incubus.  He's afraid that Dan will read his thoughts without his permission.  Now, that doesn't mean that he's afraid of incubi in general, but it does mean that Dan's statement is true.

[Sid]

As funny as the comic is, I think that Abel is focusing a bit too much on the small picture. Kinda hoping that they won't just leave it at that and go moping again...

[Supercheese]

Anyone else notice the "Jyras" in the first panel? Shouldn't it be "Jyrras"?

Looking in Amber's Rant, methinks I know why...

In other news...I got a new keyboard...so if I have a billion typos...its likely because I'm still trying to get the hang of typing on the blasted thing.

Nah.  This is just Amber letting us catch our breath before the next series of strips, which are going to be a long series of cliffhanger-style action.  The next strip will probably be one of the following:

(*) Jyrras/the reporter running into Alexsi
(*) the reporter/Merlitz's old party returning to Lost Lake
(*) an ``Elsewhere...'' shot of the party returning to the dragons
(*) an ``Elsewhere...'' shot of Merlitz's present party reporting back to Destania (not likely, but included for reasons of symmetry)

[Zedd]

Assholeim Abel 101 is now open for classes...

[Kenji]

Wow, Abel never looked better! O:

[Anri]

As funny as the comic is, I think that Abel is focusing a bit too much on the small picture.

I'm thinking it's more along the lines of 'Education via blunt trauma'.

[Sirius Griffon]

That last expression s indeed quite priceless. *grins* And yeah, Dans pretty easy to read without having to 'Read' I would think. *smiles*

[RushFox]

Classic Abel.

I guess this also falls under his "sucks to be you" policy... 

That "Dur de dur" expression on the last panel? Win.

Fanboy commentary aside, I think Danny boy needs talk to Jyrras soon and get this matter straightened out ASAP. I can only take moping lead characters for so long.

Actually, I think another "adventure" is needed here. *hint hint* 

[Sid]

Yes, I'm afraid you may be right
Ah well. We'll see how things end... or not... *leans back, adjusts his sunglasses and watches*

No, it's Abel not wanting to solve other people's problems. So he's simply focusing on small-scale stuff. I understand the position, but I don't fully agree with the execution.

[Roureem Egas]

Glad to see Dan has some sense of maturity. Even if it is in a rather skewed way.

As for Abel's impressoion of Dan, it was spot on.

[Turnsky]

so abel's a cynic as well as a psychic.. 

[Anri]

Perhaps a bit of both even.
a: Keep me outta this trainwreck!
b: Stop blaming everything on being a 'cubi, you moron.

[Boog]

"See Dan. See Dan whine. Whine Dan, Whine!
See Abel. See Abel mock Dan. Silly Abel, Dan will still whine."

[Manawolf]

Those teeth looked a little crooked.  Here, let me see if I can straighten them out...

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

It's still making me laugh. :-)


... incidentally, Sid - yes, you're going straight to hell for that sig. I'm still laughing about that, too...

[superluser]

Apropos of the donation box...

If Pyro's the banana, and Mab's the grape, does this mean that we'll be seeing Jyrras as the pretzel?

[Madd the Sane]

No, we'll be seeing Dan as an onion.


Sorry, that was the first thing that came to my mind.  A pickle sounds better, but Dan isn't that green. 

[Distracting]

=O I'll bet it's that fiendish new keyboard!


My first suggestion would be to fix it with the Battle Axe of Fixing (it's a simple but expensive process, the only drawback), but I doubt many people have one lying around...


And on a note that pertains to the topic, I love how Abel looks in the third panel. It looks oddly familiar.

[Supercheese]

An error!  My first encounter with an error.  You spelled Jyrras wrong Amber haha, first panel, first sentence I believe.  No biggy though.

Already mentioned that, but yes.

[Madd the Sane]

And on a note that pertains to the topic, I love how Abel looks in the third panel. It looks oddly familiar.

That's because it looks similar to the "Artist Vision" bunny.  I can't remember when it was, though.

Oh yeah, I remember that. I also just remembered that the face looks similar to certain cartoon faces after the character got hit with a frying pan or something.

Ah, cartoons from the good ol' days. I miss all that silly violence that oddly enough made me laugh a little... *nostalgia and such*

[Valynth]

I don't, characters often changed from episode to episode and continuity humor is some of the best kind in my opinion.  It's an aquired taste I guess.

[Zedd]

Dans having a bad day
