Ooh! Ooh! Abel should totally shapeshift into a bed!

:bunny

Considering that Cubi can feed on dreams, a Bed or a Hammock, must be their best disguise ever!

Offcourse, that opens the question, what other normal items could a cubi be ?
And do YOU have a cubi in your house ?
Maybe that door that creaks endlessly ?
Or the demonic blender that's out to get you ?

Perhaps we now know what Abel does in his sparetime. :)

GAH - I have been lured into fiddling with forum tamagotchies.

I think Amber is draining all the sleep from Jyrras recently.
She's sleeping a lot and Jyrras isn't getting any.


Jyrras! Go to Bed!

Don't you mean that Jyrras is draining all the wakefullness (For want of an actual word for it) from Amber? If he keeps this up, she is going to develop narcolepsy.

I'm just wondering if Abel formed the armor in the time between the first and third frames.

More likely he started shifting into the armour immediately after the last page, while Jyrras had his back turned. After all, no telling when a sleep-deprived roo-rat might lose his grip* in the middle of a dramatic gesture.

* I meant on the knife, of course. Although...

I want to see Abel's clan symbol shining out through his armor!

If Abel formed the armor out of his wings or somesuch, the clan mark wouldn't show through. That does, however, raise some interesting questions about what would happen if he shifted the area of his back that had the clan mark. The mark would show, I understand, and glow because of the magic, but would it remain in the same place unchanged? For instance, what would happen if he decided to sprout a third arm out of the center of his back or something?

Quote from: Amber
Heads up: The comic is still on it's way, just may be a bit delayed due to Photoshop eating my progress. I'll post it the moment I finish it, but it's possible I may take a nap in between.

When I originally read this, I presumed that it ment that the comic would be up BEFORE Friday's regulerly scedualed update. I guess something has come up that delayed the comic even further, and I'm ok with that. However, it would have been nice to get a "Check back Friday. You can stop refreshing the comic every half hour now."

Please. Try that when you have between thirty to forty tabs open at any given moment. SOMETHING has to give, after all. Mind you, I seem to have over eighty tabs open right now, but after a certan point, raw bulk stops being a facter.

Oh man, sometimes I love the internet. Because like, you can go about your life. And then when you come back the next day or whenever. That content you were looking for is still there.   :rolleyes

You know, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were being sarcastic, there, Drath.

Of course you could always write a program that would retrieve the web page once a minute and signal an alarm when the picture changes.  That way you could get on with your life and be alerted to new pages when they appear.

There may or may not be one or more deliberate mistakes in this code, since nobody should be stupid enough to actually run it, but I've yet to be disappointed by underestimating how stupid people can be...


(Which means, if anyone posts how to fix the bugs, their posts will end up removed, and so will they. Have a nice day.)

"Fi" is supposed to be "Fu"?

Fi is If backwards
Fu is - well look up FUBAR, SNAFU, and STFU

And FU is what I'll be if I upset the box.

Some will fall in love with life,

Never mind the bugs, isn't this horribly bad programming?   :tongue

... and there are no line numbers! What madness is this?   :B
