Well, Jyrras isn't the only one, and they're obviously making sure with the restraining order.

Way to go ruining for the rest of them, Al.

Hmmm, but he hasn't done anything to Mab for all the stabby-impalement incidents...  That due to fear/respect of Mab or something else.

All things considered, I wouldn't be surprised if forcing your 'bangles' on a little girl (scout) didn't count as a sex offense of some kind...

hmm... certainly fits someone who would commit genocide over the invention of a childrens' toy.

On a totally different note... I think Miss Amber needs some rest.  We all like DMFA comics, but if Amber gets too sick, she won't be able to make them at all.

There are some things a hubby suppose to do and there are things a husband is not suppose to do.  Causing a restraining order to be placed on your entire race over peanut butter pastries is in the NO category.

Me thinks that Albiaon needs to go to a few classes to quell his aggressive tendencies when it comes to others disappointing Nutmeg.

I'm guessing one of two things;
i) He can't attack another member of his race
ii) There's a law against doing harm to any former ruler.

Or well, three. There's Something about Mabby.

Okay, that last bit didn't actually start out that way...

Well, it could just be that he doesn't go after other Fae.  Plus, Mab's already banished from the Kingdom, which is probably worse than anything he could think to do.  Emphasis on probably.

Personally I think he wouldn't go after Mab because other fae are equally powerful and it'd be like Mab's mom v Mab's dad over appetizers. We already know he's nuts so we may as well thrown in god complex too. He just takes it out on 'lesser beings' cuz they're weak and susceptible (Uggh hate that word can't spell it) to his whims.


On a side note. Amber GET SOME REST! We the loyal went weeks without comic we can go another while you're recuperating. Especially if it keeps ya from going all Piro on us *hint hint* :P

How would the restraining order work in this case, anyway? Does it mean Albanion isn't allowed near beings or vice versa in some sense? I'm not really up to speed with legal stuff...

And seeing a sad Nutmeg makes me saaaaaaaaaad :(

And I gotta join the others in saying that you should get some rest. Take a few days (or a week) off and get well. We can keep ourselves entertained while you recover, and llearch will make sure we don't burn the forum (or each other) down :P

I don't imagine they are dangerous in and of themselves.  If they are, I imagine Mab would remove/neutralise them and then kick King Albanion's head in.  Which I suspect she is likely to do anyway as soon as she finds out that he was the one who did the molesternating.

Though one thing about the hulk that bothers me.  When he transforms every article of clothing rips and shreds except for his pants down to around his his knees. 
I know that's for decency but still it makes one wonder why that area of the Hulk is so small.

and my imagination flows over the fact she said "first time" and not "only time" over restraining orders for entire races

Ouch, Albanion seems to be a bit of a nutter as far as Nutmeg is concerned.  Maybe that also clued Mab in that it was Nutmeg posing as Albanion?
Also, maybe the reason why Mab doesn't have the bangles is, Al's tried to put them on her, but Mab was like "OK, see, that's not happening.  You explode now," and Al figured out "OK, don't mess with her, she makes pain happen."

QuoteBrilliant.  Not to dissect the wonderful punchline too much, but when Fae are basically all-powerful, how do you enforce a restraining order against them?
Perceptions. Make the Fae believe that the law which enforces said restraining order is inviolate. Shouldn't be too hard, since the Fae are all about acting out "roles" in the world anyway.

It's kind of like what's been done with children in schools for ages: the children could, if they wanted, rise up and throw out all the teachers and faculty and staff and never have to study again. After all, there are far more students than any of those others. But there is an ingrained and unconscious belief that those adults have authority over them, which allows the adults to keep them under control. These days it doesn't always work, as there have been kids who were raised to never accept that ANYONE has authority over them. But for the majority, to varying degrees, it works.

Thus, the Fae. If they believe they are under the authority of that law, then they'll obey it. If they don't, the police will come along (authority figure!) and send them to the principal's office, figuratively speaking. Sure, they could fight, blow people up, and simply not go, but it's a lot harder to challenge that ingrained belief of authority than one might think.

Is it possible that the Fae-Human could be Albanion in disguise.

I'm not sure she did see them.  By the looks of it she jumped to a conclusion from Jyrras' body language, and then didn't spot them, being too preoccupied with Molestrog.

If you look at the scene with  Nutmeg, Albanion, and the Girl Scouts (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_822.php), you'll see that Nutmeg uses the word "I", indicating that this is before Nubmeg became Queen.  Since Mab left after Nutmeg became Queen, this means that Albanion was acting like this while Mab was around.

Before you complain, I know I'm being logical, and I previously said that the only logical assumption about the Fae realm was that nothing was logical.

If Albanion was disguised as the Fae-Human, he would be acting a role as the Fae-Human and Fae will go to extreme lengths to stay in character.

We've definitely seen this before. Look back a few strips to where Nutmeg was disguised (not very well) as Albanion.

:3 who said the bands themselves actually did anything?  Maybe Albanion is here in disguise in order to cause the horrible things that he promised by placing them.  Maybe he's talking himself up(down) like that in order to gain Jyrras's trust and make it easier to enact his vengeance.  Maybe he just likes cross dressing as mythical creatures and/or has MPD?

I don't think she saw the bands; Jyrras had his back turned to mab when she first saw him after the bands were palced (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_806.php), and she immediately hugs him from behind before quick-changing clothes and flying away (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_815.php).
