LMFAO ROFL LOL!!!!! :mowhappy
*edit* and the date, please
EDIT: Notification to anyone who may not have voted yet, poll will be closed when the next regular comic comes out, that that will be on Monday! Vote now, while you still have a chance! THE POWER OF ALUMINUM COMPELS YOU!
I'll guess it snapped at the moment when Mab stabbed Nutmeg for the second time and she did not bleed or die or anything.
:mowhappy
Psst topic title needs date, or body of first post needs words about actual comic.
Right. I'm on it.
EDIT: Fixed, thanks. ;)
the angle of the spear changed between panel one and two... Actually it didn't, but it should have unless Nutmeg bent the spear head when she turned. 'Cause she might just be that strong yo.
Jy-Jy's mind has always been that way though.... :)
Added poll. Yippee! :boogie

Looks right to me. In panel 1, she's sitting straight up and facing away from the camera, but in panel 2, she's leaning to one side and orthogonal to the camera.
That smirk makes me wonder if Mab's telling the truth...though she probably is. If I were in Mab's shoes, I'd probably consider the request, but I'm funny like that.

Poor Jy. I wonder how Lorenda's handling the unfolding events. Oh yea, and does Nutmeg beat Jyrras is the giant ears category?

What if your landlord kicked you out and then asked you to babysit for her? I'd be pleasantly surprised to find that every member of this forum would babysit.
Hehehe... Mab must be Canadian now. She said, 'eh'. XD
...What?
:mowmeep Is this a case of when Jyrras' mind starts to strain or snap, or is Amber having a mind blowing too close to the wind in making the plot for these recent updates. I mean Jy seems to only been a 'puppet' here. and this last page seems too plot-convenient ....
:mowmeep However, it seems that Jyrras got out of that discussion with Lorenda for the moment ...
Seeing as the poll didn't have an option for Strip 177 (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_177.php) (Don't look at me like that, it was an open ended question and that's a perfectly valid answer), I'll have to go with Nutmeg blowing the spear out of her chest.
You ruined the joke with that poll.
Whatever happened to Nutmeg's drama popcorn? I'll bet that Lorenda is eating it. SHE'S SUCH A COW.
Oh damn, I'm the only person who voted for that. I fail. :<
I always thought the first snap was the niffliwflle (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_564.php) incident
I still wonder if Mab has some hidden motives, other than the seemingly altruistic nature of giving the soul of her parents to her mortal enemy...
Anyways, nice Amber cameo! I wonder when HER mind snapped. :P
Well so much for mad scientist Jyrras... at this rate he'll be wearing underwear on his head whispering "wibble" over and over...
Along with Nutmegs other powers we can now catalog: physics defiant dress fu.
If you look in that first panel, the dress is clearly cut cleanly in half in a way that would be most revealing if not for this power. :)

His mind snapped years ago. We've just been seeing the results.
his mind snaps at a prestressed pressure point to prevent the rest of him from breaking, all you have to do is reset his fuse and hes good till the next thing blows his mind.
i wonder where a good place to look for this fuse would be

Adds to list of chaotic natures: Mood swings.
Jyrras' mind seems to snap anytime he is around Mab...I will vote for all of the above.
But really, Why is Mab giving Nutmeg what she wants so easily.. I know she is a good gal and all. But The queen is the only one, we have seen to really tick Mab off.. Not even DP could do that for long.
Mmmm Will Mab have a special request of Nutmeg after this? or before she gives up her mother's soul?
And what relationship will Mab be to the Queen and/or the new princess? Oh wait Can the Fae mother change the gender of the recycled soul? Can Mab's "dead" mother become a Prince?

Im great with children, they cling to my face and think my head makes a funny sound when kicked. Most of the ones ive taken care of love to be tossed in the air, so i have spent some time developing the toddler shuriken.
QuoteIt pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
Edited the comic number, it was 791 not 790. :B Thanks to AndersW for notifying me. :3
There's something very "Classic DMFA" about Mab's expression in the second panel, isn't there?
Yes, I do believe you're right. I can't quite put my finger on why though.
yes, it's the Aniz/ Dan I'm a bad-ass, got something up my sleeve pose.
I must say Mab is a real nice gal. She gets kicked out of her home kingdom, the one who kicked her out, Mab stabs her with pointy things every time they see each other. Mab hates Nutmeg and even said so YET Mab would not want to hinder in Nutmeg's happiness by not allowing her to have a child.
Mab is truly one of a kind. She hates Nutmeg but would not want to deny her a chance of happiness. I mean a number of people would go out of their way to deny said individual a chance at happiness yet Mab is content with making Nutmeg into a spear cushion.
Oh and Jyrras's brain snapped, the most recent time, somewhere between spear 1 being 'removed' and spear 2 being 'inserted.'

Can you have a mortal enemy if you are immortal.
If someone is mean to me, I believe in being nice to them. Sometimes you have misunderstood them, and they really don't deserve the nastiness. Sometimes they can change. And if they are really nasty and unable to change, nothing drives them as far up the wall as being nice to them. And in that case, they deserve it.

The secret of people at Anthrocon is that they are actually the only sane ones.
slight edit to the poll topic, for less confusion. (because seriously, if we were counting ALL the times that Jyrras' mind snapped through the comic, the list would go onto UNGOLDY INFINITY! :U)
Just incase anyone cares (and almost certainly doesn't) My vote was for Nutmeg blowing the spear clear out of her chest. :P THAT was funny.
I've also decided that I will close the poll when the next regular comic comes out, just for the sake of having a set time-frame to make it possible for a tally of final votes.
Aww, isn't Mab being nice! Something tells me Mab's starting to get over her anger towards Nutmeg. And I bet he stopped seeing or thinking anything when Albanion morphed into Nutmeg.

:mowmeep Is Jyrras using a magical 'patch' to retain his sanity? Remember how helpful Mab was in the making of all the patches ? Among all those patches, there must be at least one for stability of mind ...
:mowmeep Mental stability is just a state of Mind. However, in the mind snapping poll, we do not have the option of whos'e mind has snapped . Is it it Jyrras, Lorenda, Amber, Mab, or Nutmeg, with a possibility of the various groups. and characters ./quote]
:mowmeep Did Jyrras have his mind pop in increduality when Mab said to Nutmeg that she would consider her request for the mother's soul. Even some of the readers may have suffered unreality shock then ...
:mowmeep Now we need a list of all the minds that have snapped yet, or are very loose, to work out the real damage ...
:mowmeep Even I find this page too much to swallow ...
I for one stand with Jyrras in this. What-the-frig?
"Just because I hate you, doesn't mean you can't have my mother's soul for your child!"
DUUUUUHHHH????
*starts drooling brains*
note that she did not say "you can have it" she said nutmeg has a change to get it
i am imagining mabb doing the Dr. Evil finger thing and saying "one kagillion cookies"
QuoteLife happens too fast for you ever to think about it. If you could just persuade people of this, but they insist on amassing information.
Mab's reply makes perfect sense, really. It's WEIRD, yeah, but it certainly jives with her personality.
She's got a lot of bad feelings for Nutmeg. Stabbings are surely in order, of course, but Mab is also, at least on the "big stuff" level, supernaturally mature. On more than one occasion, she's been the voice of sublime reason, pointing out how foolish conflict is, or saving the day with a timely peacable alliance.
So faced with a chance to give an enemy a chance at real happiness, of the kind that could qualitatively alter their relationship, Mab is only too happy to go for it, take a chance at changing the way things are going, and maybe start the process that will bury the hatchet.
And by making her point clear that all is still NOT forgiven, Mab makes certain that Nutmeg won't think that she's somehow "off the hook" to make things right.
You GO Mab.
I hadn't thought of it like that MR, but you're actually right. Wow, I have new found respect for Mab. Well I already respected her but now I have a new found form of respect for her.
Quote from: MaskedRetriever on June 02, 2007, 11:14:45 AMand maybe start the process that will bury the hatchet.
After all, burying those spears straight through Nutmeg's torso doesn't seem to be helping matters, so why not try a hatchet instead?
But still, is it easier to bury a spear or a hatchet?
burying a pear is easier than it appears.
Quote from: Aridas Soulfire on June 02, 2007, 08:24:15 PM
burying a pear is easier than it appears.
I believe that he meant a spear. Although burying a pear could result in a pear tree (with or without partridge), which could be a memorial to the start of a beautiful friendship.
If I acknowledge the typo, I couldn't make the pun.
And, as we all know, that would kill the punch.
Not to mention not looking half as witty...
I COULD have spear for the pronunciation, but that doesn't really matter with text.
:mowmeep Well, it seems that Jyrras' has seemingly got out of his conversation with Lorenda. However, is this only for the short term as Mab and Nutmeg eventually work things out. Did his mind really snap, or was this a case of human being inflicting pain on a furree ? ( Amber onto Jyrras' ) We will see ...

That raises the question as to what memories of past lives are possessed by reincarnated fae. Also the question as to whether the original source of the souls would be considered in how to treat the fae, or if respect and obedience would be based on the current life only.
I also had a vision of Nutmeg offering to mediate between Jyrras and Lorenda with a line such as ** If Nutmeg can deal with Mab's meanness for a thousand years, Nutmeg can deal with Jyrras and Lorenda **

Albanion/Nutmeg said that the magical energy is recycled into a
brand new soul, so there would be no retained memories. Which is why this

There is no such thing as coincidence, especially when in a webcomic! The only exception is when the author explicitly says that something is a coincidence. Since Amber has said nothing on this matter to this point, we therefore are forced to assume that it is not a coincidence, and that there is some connection between Nutmeg the fae and Nutmeg the warp-aci.

Aaaaaand the votes are in! It seems that most of you (45.7%, 37 votes) believed that Jyrras broke his mind when Nutmeg blew the spear right past his unsuspecting head. The option that came in close second (with 30.9%, 25 votes) was that Jyrras' mind was screwed over just this moment. Everything else had few votes., though the news of Mab auctioning off her parents came in last.

(dammit, I can't do this as well as the admins at sc.org. Maybe I should have asked one of them to handle the poll wrap-up, they do it really well.)
