02/08/08 [DMFA #876] - +5 chainmail bikinis...mmmmm

[Paladin Sheppard]

Damn this goes a looong way back!

And despite defending so often it even Dan called his robe a dress at first!


*Pictures Wildy in a Chainmail Bikini* rawr! She looks good with her hair like that

[Alondro]

It's not going to go all the way back to Dan wanting to have revenge on his brother for slaughtering his entire clan?   

And does this mean Pokemon will feature in some how?   

[Tapewolf]

Hmm.  So, now that Abel has restyled the robe, Dan's significantly more vulnerable to magic?  Never mind, I'm sure he can learn some kind of workaround...

    Was it the fabric that was changed, or just the general style. Remember, I think Abel merely ripped and resewed the robe to his whim in fashion, not destroy the cloth itself ...

It now no longer protects his legs or groin from a magical attack.

Ouch that means that that spells below the belt  take on a whole new level of pain.

Magical kick in the b@llz! Inflicts 9999 points of damage!

Reminds me of Robot Chicken, "Testicle attack number 49! Oww my dragon ballz!"


I see a minor inconsistency, I don't think Wildy ever knew of Dans adventuring days.
As evidenced by comic 119

Of course I don't really care I just happen to be nit-picking at the moment.
Its an easy piece to overlook if it wasn't intentionally changed for convenience sake.

I don't have any problem with it, if it helps the story, do it. Besides stating this way way way back in comic 119, who would know for sure if it would matter later.

*edits his posts now that he got edit-sniped*
Yes, my thought exactly! I mostly remember it because that comic touches the very reason I joined The Nice, actually (fanfic-related, but the idea later on struck me as not that awesome).

I always figured that Dan and Wildy had somehow been separated before Dan decided to become an adventurer and only met again after Dan's "retirement". But now... hm. I'm sure this will be explained later on, so we'll just have to wait and see. Flashback's just beginning, after all.

Plot musing aside, it's quite interesting to see how Dan and Wildy apparently swapped hair styles over the years.

Could be, but keep in mind that Wildy didn't get the robe for a Cubus. His left foot alone conatins most likely more magical defense power then the larger part of the robe now.

That would be the workaround, yes.  But he doesn't know how to use it, and he's still wavering over whether learning magic is a good thing or not.

[127.0.0.2]

Touchê. One can only hope that the powers and "cubi instincts" that come naturally with such a form do a decent job until he gets out of his current stupidity phase.

[e_voyager]

i'm guessing that they must count for something for him to defeat DP so many times

It's not an inconsistency. Consider that she was with him the whole time, except when he went off and actually started his adventurers. I'm sure we'll see that's the case in the next couple of issues.

Also, does anyone else notice the now-eerie resemblance between Wildy and Biggs? I mean, I know they're siblings, but she never looked so much like him before.

[Gamma]

Glad I'm not the only one who thought there was a resemblance. Its explained away by the facial expressions being nearly identical to Biggs usual ones.


It is inconsistent, She didn't think of him as a "warrior type" in comic 119. That kinda means battles, adventuring, everything Dan went out and did.

She just gave him a magically protected robe in the flashback, right after he graduated from adventuring school. Magically protected meaning its armor, you know for battle.

Thats an inconsistency if I ever saw one.

By the way, I don't mean to be an ass, I just happen to be one.

[GabrielsThoughts]

technically this is an inconsistent "first adventure" because

A) within  the earlier comics where we see that Wildy had no knowledge of his life as a warrior.

Meaning this is most likely his second or third adventure

And, B) it appears that before he got his robe  Dan preferred wearing a golden sash.


evidence of this can be seen here in strip 119 of DMFA cannon.

I really should read the thread before posting.

[Dannysaysnoo]

I like the way Wildy's tail hasn't yet been made red yet.

Well, there's a difference between learning how to be an adventurer and making a successful career out of it, so she may simply have thought his tales of high adventure were exaggerations, while still knowing that he'd done a small amount of low-level hack'n'slash on the side.

For example, I have a piece of paper that says I know how to set up a Windows 2000 network.  Shortly after I got it, I went off and started writing Windows CE applications.  By now, I couldn't remember how to set up an Active Directory server if I wanted to.

Also, Wildy has a tendency to come and go in Lost Lake, if I remember right.

[Aleolus]

So true

[MT Hazard]

Wildy continues to be the character with the most different clothes and hair styles I see.

[Kenji]

See Saist?

Told ya they were dresses.

I'd say that here, Wildy was being a good friend by giving him a thoughtful gift (knowing how inept he can be at times... remember the rock summoning?). In 116-119 she finds out that he really has been following his adventuring vocation fairly successfully and not just telling tall tales.

[Kibin]

The comic before this one seems to have disappeared completely.

[Gamma]

Looks like the links are not going to the rightly numbered pages. Minor problem overlooked because of the internet outage I'm sure.

I must say you all have put a good spin on comic 119.
I admit that there is the slight possibility of those interpretations, it just doesn't add up completely with how she reacted to Dan's stories being true.

But as has been said, we will find out more about this as the comic progresses.

[zopey]

i'ts amaizing how amber manages to subtle change a carecter to make them look older or younger. pure guinius

[CameronCN]

The Wildy continuity contradiction is something we've run into before. Does anybody remember the strip where she is the one who makes fun of Dan's robe as a dress? But later it is explained that she gave him the robe, and of course in today's strip she is the one saying "it's a robe!"

I don't regard it as an issue. It just shows that Amber's ideas about the characters' pasts have evolved over time. I like the "new" past better, anyway.

[Zedd]

Hmmm Wildy has the big credit cards

[e_voyager]

i think wildy just likes to tease - play with Dan. it's not all about her finding someone to pity that actually enjoys pushing her buttons at the same. plus Dan has a high tolerance  for pain and that comes in handy when she's  showing him how upset he made her

[Aleolus]

Is zat like Destiana having a perky wingspan?
