Goodbye - 9-26-2007 [#824]

[Fuyudenki]

Is that a challenge?  Because I think some of us would totally accept.

No, it's a promise. If you really are that mentally retarded, you'll be permabanned. With no warning.


.. and DO have a nice day, now, y'hear? ;-]

Hey, Gabriel's thoughts proposed it, didn't they?

In other news, I really do like the tone of this one.  I'm just a sucker for sad endings, I guess.  Reminds me of the Catch22/Streetlight Manifesto* song, "As the Footsteps Die out Forever."

It's like my birthday!  except in September.

*(Catch 22 originally did an album called Keasby Nights.  Then, they broke up, and the lead singer formed Streetlight Manifesto, who did a re-hash of Keasby Nights for their premier album.)

Jyrras should leave the ironic comments to the professionals like Dan.  Even though Mab is a hard nut to crack out of her bubbly happiness, loosing her parents and seeing them go is one of those events where most people would be sad.

I hope Dan does something Dan-ish to help bring Mab out of her sadness.

give her a porkipine to hug ... yea I know not written good but I can't find the damn creature in the dictionary 

[SpottedKitty]

<sniffle>

Thank you, Amber.

Hehe ... you think she is still after a porcupine for her list of things to hug ? 

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Try "porcupine" - little spiny pig, if that helps.

Take yer shoes off

[candide]

(see example: Unicorn Jelly. The ending of that is one of the stronger ones I've seen...)

Heeeey now, UJ didn't end on that bad of a note.  {pulls out his print copy}  Yup, the very last panel is pretty positive, Floaty-Buttcovers and all!  Suumi Paivaa! 

[InterludeAuthor]

Wow, the third panel is somber. Maybe some of it's leaking in from Abel's Story? XD;;

[Mischa]

Awwwww... that last panel is both beautiful and touching.    Poor Mab...

[Alondro]

*Charline giggles like a schoolgirl*  I just had the most lovely wicked thought!  What if that hand reaching down was pleading, and Mab's parents were actually crying out "Nooooo!  Don't kill us!  We won't tell your secret!"  And the whole thing turns out to be that Mab is actually the most power and evil Creature of them all who had one weakness that her parents knew and she found out that they knew and tore their souls from their bodies to be reincarnated without a trace of their old memories so no one would ever find out that she's planning to be the ruler of the cosmos.

Now, normally I'd be concerned, since that's pretty much MY plan, but we all know there's absolutely NO WAY that could be the real story!   

[Amber Williams]

so no one would ever find out that she's planning to be the ruler of the cosmos.

I'm pretty sure Mab isn't foolish enough to want to take on the current ruler for the title.

[Azraelle]

Yeah.  Besides, every fae gets a chance at the monarchy at some point.  And most of them get rid of it like a hot potato first chance they get.

[RobbieThe1st]

Yeah.  Besides, every fae gets a chance at the monarchy at some point.  And most of them get rid of it like a hot potato first chance they get.

One, we aren't talking about the ruler of the Fae realm, which Mab *did* get a chance at,
and Two, I don't think many would like being ruler of the cosmos... Just look at how hard Amber works to keep the position(What, 40+ hours a week!)!

Thus the fae, in all their foolishness, prove they are wiser than the rest of the races.

Most dragons (myself included) end up learning such lessons the hard way.

*Charles gasps!*  Furrae has a ruler of the cosmos?!  ZOMG!  Secret information has been revealed!   

[martinjh99]

I'd have loved to have seen her parents again before they "died", really sad We need to send Mab hugs and cookies in a box for this one.

Where did we see Mab's parents for the first time??

[LionHeart]

Where did we see Mab's parents for the first time??

I think the first mention of them is in this strip.

No. There was a scene of them fighting over what appetizer to order at a restaurant. The restaurant ended up flooded. Give me a few minutes and I'll find the link.

That is the strip he is linking to.

Ok. It was hard to see that there was a link.

[patchwork cat]

I have an answer. For Mab, Jyr and Amber's sake, the Universe must die!!!

[DarkAudit]

No! I'm not done with it yet! 

[patchwork cat]

Well, maybe the bit that's causing all the grief. ::(

[Naldru]

Between this and Abel's Story, I think Amber is going to need a friendly hug when this is all over.  If any of the students at the high school my daughter had gone to had written something like this, I believe that a meeting with the school psychiatrist would have been scheduled to look for signs of depression.
