5/5/2012 [DMFA #1305] - Earrings, Indeed

It seems our ever intrepid faerie has been on her own adventures. I suppose it's much easier to clear a room of traps if they don't exactly have an effect on you...

I look at those traps and wince, imagining them snapping shut. SNAP SNAP SNAP- AIIIEEEE.

Ahem. Anyway. Is it just me, or is Mab drawn a bit differently this comic? Especially in panel 2. Something about the antenna, face shape, maybe the hair too? My brain doesn't handle visual detail well, so I'm not good about pinning these things down.

LionHeart · May 05, 2012, 02:51:19 AM

It's not just you. She does look a bit different.

Of course, as a Fae, she can probably look any way she wants to...

Poor traps! They're in a very compromising position there, snapped on Mab's uber-fluffy tail! And Alexis has such a lovely face in that last panel. Looking all devilish.

Actually I've noticed it too. I'm thinking it's part Mab's positioning. It also seems like there's a different... art style in it. Is Amber's art style shifting again? Definitely more shiny on Alexis's and Mab's fur.

Got tail?

Plotting · May 05, 2012, 04:53:02 AM

Just what was Mab up to to get bear traps on her tail? And how did she come up with the explination that they were earings?

Mabs mind is a very unusual place it would seem.

justacritic · May 05, 2012, 08:51:20 AM

Are we sure that this is the current Mab? I mean her speech pattern seems to have changed slightly, and her face seems younger.

Ignuus66 · May 05, 2012, 11:01:55 AM

I'm guessing she decided to hug all to many things

.

But yeah, It really seems like MAb's different..

joshofspam · May 05, 2012, 11:58:50 AM

Oh boy, I don't necessarily like the looks of that.

Murderers on the loose and Mab's tail full of traps can't be a good sign.

Though one can appreciate the the conversation these two have with one another. Must be very interesting for a brother and sister to have a fae as a childhood friend.

SolarWings · May 05, 2012, 01:00:52 PM

It's nice seeing Mab after such a long while. I wonder what she's been up to...

BirdmanGA · May 05, 2012, 01:20:38 PM

I noticed Mab's change in looks as well, the balls on her antenna are a new addition as well as the face shapes, it's almost as if she's someone disguised as Mab.

DataDroid · May 06, 2012, 01:33:00 AM

I suppose this makes me a real nerd, but did anyone else notice that Mab's tail is threaded through the bear traps? Her tail goes through the traps perpendicular to the spring bar and jaws. If it were caught, it would be parallel to the spring bar and jaws.

James StarRunner · May 06, 2012, 03:39:31 AM

Oh! Well welcome to the forums DataDroid! Yeah, I noticed that too. But this is also Mab we're talking about. She lived in a glen with a smiling sun. Things don't have to make sense with her.

wait doesn't iron and steel hurt Fae or is that a different mythology?
who wants to wager that that is some other Fae pretending to be Mab to look for some one or some thing?

Not in DMFA, no. They're basically in god mode.
