Poor Dorcan. :< At least he got it better than Joshua - the latter was dying for two whole pages. :[
**EDIT**
Fixed format
-TW
And Joshua had to die twice. Sucks. Still, dang, quite a way to kickstart the new chapter. And very complicated too, looks nice.
:giggle
... um... oh dear... how to explain this? Um, Dorcan's last name is "Ja'Fell." The thing is, in German, "Ja" is pronounced "Ya." So, I read his headstone as "Dorcan Ya'Fell." And he was executed through hanging. Sorry, but it kinda killed the mood for me.

I don't believe, that in the 18 months or so since Dorcan was created, that I
ever made that connection. Especially since it is pronounced that way.
The name derivation is actually more a fall from grace - clan Ja'Fell were originally rebels from a larger, more powerful clan.
Now that I think about it, he didn't
have a surname when chapter 7 was first published.

To be honest, your avatar is looking very appropriate given this moment. I think you should keep it whenever you're moderating this crazy, crazy forum. :B

Ren said it was looking at him funny, so I was going to flip it around. Now I might not.
**EDIT**
For posterity:

I'm sure Dorcan did not approve of a few things that seems to have happened to him in recent events.
Then again, he got taken out by a pitchfork mob and some rope...so he must have been one of the wimpy Cubi. :P
Quote from: Amber Williams on February 06, 2009, 04:06:15 PM

If you look carefully, you'll see a glow around his arms. These were originally supposed to be enchanted, magic-draining bracers (people who've played Morrowind should know this one) but I forgot to tell Ren they were there.
Either way, a successful witch-hunt has to have some means of subduing Creatures or else the 'Cubi will hang them instead.
I figured Dorcan might also be reluctant to start fighting off the crowd in front of his girlfriend. Even if he was in every right, defending himself, I figure a relationship would not go over well if one of them is constantly being harassed by angry mobs, and they would likely increase, *especially* if he kills any of them.
Bah! I negate your logic and replace it with my own.
And my logic claims Dorcan is a wussy. :3

Tempting. One does one's best for Darwin, etc...
Good strip Tape.
Reminds me of this story:
A priest, a lawyer and an engineer were all in line to be hung by the gallows.
The priest went first, the lever was thrown, but the trapdoor didn't open. The priest claimed divine intervention.
The lawywer went next, the lever was thrown, but again the trapdoor didn't open. He said that if they pulled the lever again, it would be entrapment, and was let go.
The engineer went next, but just before they pulled the lever, he examined the gallows and said "Wait, I think I can see what was making it stick!"

Not quite - Ren only drew the figures(*). I drew the Amber-trees myself, having stolen DMFA's shrub technology while removing the speech bubbles from 'Warrior for Hire'.
(*) Not to put Ren down, of course. The figures are the most important part.
Oh, one thing I didn't mention before: the concept of introducing a new character and killing him in the next frame has to be either shocking or humorous.
is it just me, or is that gabi in the far right right of the hanging of Jay... actually i spotted a few others, but the one's i'm most interested in are the ones that i can't quite place, such as the spotted kitty to the right of jay... or what looks like a male keaton just left of gabi...

I woke up too early in the morning for so many names beginning with J >_<
Also, Jacob does still look good in brown. Right next to the brown executioner. I would say you didn't get very creative with the recolor schemes, but at least Amber can now recognize PF; you have someone with light green hair and someone else who's blue in the actual comic! *cough*as extras*cough*
I'm sure there'll be more appearances of unusually-colored characters in the (possibly distant) future.
Not this green-haired one, though. Time-travelling is not something with which a sensible individual would like to mess too much.
But I do appreciate the cameo nonetheless. :)

Honestly? Most of the time he does. I got the impression it was one of those 'Cubi things, the wings making shirts and stuff more awkward.
Interestingly, Jakob doesn't like people going around barechested very much. Finally, there's the matter of suitable environment - Dorcan, while foolish and inexperienced, generally knows not to run around with his clan-mark exposed where 'Cubi aren't welcome.
