So, is Biggs lying to Dan? And is he really that scared of Wildy.
I agree with Biggs here Dee does have an impressive wingspan :)
Yes, he really is that scared of Wildy, and yes, he's probably lying to Dan.
He wasn't paying -that- much attention to Destania's ... wingspan.
(btw, Amber? That rocks. Kudos, indeed.)
Is Biggs lying?
In no way shape or form. Have you had a good look at Dest recently? :mowsmile
And Fa'lina! :mowhappy :boogie
Or are you talking about the first couple of boxes? Who knows?
This comic caused me to start sniggering uncontrollably :giggle
If Biggs is lying, I don't think he'd be doing it for his own sake. The only reason I think Biggs might be giving false information is if Dee asked him to. That, and I have a suspicion that Dee would have come to see Dan already if she was there & wanted for them to meet.
Sorry amber, ill take those tacos of your hands for you.
yum :mowcookie yum :boogie
What is it with Dan and being a magnet for way too much information?
Wow......... Biggs is......... kinky. :3
Whoops, ignore this
Wow, Dan got so shocked he shifted the comic date back in time. o:
I mean...... might wanna change that. :poke

That shoud be obvious by now. Sides, who doesn't like a good Cubi woman. And sides, they get better as they age, looking at Fa'Lina.

this be a duplicate
not really im all about the tacos. TACOS!
So this thread is about the title and Amber's rant then, I presume?
If that's the case, I'll give Amber some of my tacos. I prefer the quesadilla.
quesadillas are also good. As are enchiladas :eager
Well Obviously, She finished the comic and Taco hel... I mean... Taco Bell was closed. That would make me blue!
That or she arrived late to a party and the tacos were already gone, nothing worse then being left out for tacos.
Not to be rude, but it hasn't been the 18th for four days now. I thought this was the older thread at first. Made it rather hard to find where the current discussion is.
Dan needs to stop going off on fragmentary information. People could have told him Destania was working for Biggs, but I doubt he even asked. Rushing in headfirst, no thinking...
GROW UP, DAN!
nooooo!
Whay are the tacos always gone!!!?? :< :<

Well, Biggs is the one who gave Destania the information about Edward being held in stasis somewhere, and confirmation about his status when she asked for it. She also had that all arranged to see Alexsi... they sort of lend to her going off to find Edward, and this isn't information Dan has access to.
I find some obscure nuance of the first panel to be quite nice about Biggs. I can't find the term for it, except for saying he seems very aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
I kinda doubt that Dest ran off. Remember? Biggs and Dest have to kill off the dragons and make the world a better place. Although, Dest might actually be no where near Twink Territories. Who knows what their plan involves.
I would say that Biggs has the hots for Destania, but I think he has the hots for anything female, the only exception being Wildy.
I wouldn't say from this that Biggs is afraid of Wildy. I think they have the typical sibling relationship. They'll do anything for each other, but they'll never admit it.
What I'm curious about is what made Dan think that Biggs knew where Destania was. The thoughts on the past few pages was that he read Alexsi's thoughts. However, if that was the case, he would have also known that Destania was working for Biggs.
Today's page brings something else to mind....
Peanut: We met this dental hygenist! She had huge-
Jeff: -Eyes.
Peanut: Eyes? You were looking at her eyes? DUH! Why don't you just say she had big -
Jeff: -Be sensitive!
Peanut: ...Tatas. Audacious tatas!
Jeff: Why don't you just say she had a nice smile?
Peanut: No, cause when I saw her tatas, I had a nice smile! :)
I went back in the archives and I looked up Dee again. And, I just have to say...
Help... I don't get the last panel! XP
Cuz if we're talking about "huge tracts of land," Lorenda has Dee beat. The only other wing-ish parts I can think of are her eyelashes, ears, or possibly, her glasses. She does have a wide bridge on her glasses, irregardless of the fact she has a muzzle.
Furthermore, and at the risk of seeming crude, Bigg's hands don't appear to be... wide-fingered enough?
(Please don't hurt me! XP)

Between this and Dan's vision of (Abel's vision of) Destania... methinks Dr. Freud was right about this boy...
I'd buy that for a dollar >:3
Dee have an impressive and perky wingspan for any woman of any age. Though one thing really gets me. She is still looking for Dan's dad which means that either she really loves him or hates him to the point where she wants to be the only one to kill him.
Also it makes me wonder if Dan is an only Cubi child of the family.
8) Nobody has yet to say the Aye or Nay on the subject of Edward being a Cubi ... If this is so, Alexsi stands a good chance of , in her learnings, how to shapeshift. If this was so, no wings would ever appear in public, at the bar , and so noone would be wiser. ( Look out Pyroduck ! )

There's no indication one way or the other at this point. It's entirely possible that Edward could be a descendant of Aniz (Which seems to be the popular belief) but that wouldn't make him an incubus by default.

....that might very well be what I'm seeing. It's something about his whole posture. :s
Biggs expression is really impressive in panel 1. I think that it's because the eyes are much closer to human proportions, so we identify with them better. Same with panel 3 of #868.
As for Dest vs. Fa'Lina... Dan was very lucky as baby.
Did someone mentioned that Amber was stalling the family reunion? I could've swore someone mentioned stalling.

I've not heard that version of the theory. One of the more interesting pieces of evidence for that theory is that Edward's arm is always hidden or covered in the exact spot where Aniz' clan mark would be. That and I'm not entirely sure Dee would (at that point in her life) balk at eating a Being who was of simply 'Cubi descent - someone who has (or had) no qualms about soul-slaying children is likely to view them as just Beings and therefore prey. Whereas if Edward is an incubus, it provides him an incentive to rescue Dee (his teacher?) and Dee an incentive to not just eat him.

It took me a while for it to click, but IMHO that's what he was saying a bit more subtly in the last strip.

It may simply have been a bluff, or a reasonable assumption given that Biggs is in charge of it. After all, he saw Dee
in the Twink Territories way back.

That theory would make sense, if Edward were to have more screen time. He's been in three pages, and it's not even guaranteed to be in the same place as it is for Aniz. I admit, there's some coincidence there, but not enough for me to buy the cubi theory.
I prefer to make my theories based on what we do know, rather than what we don't.

Well, maybe we'll get a shot of Edward that disproves it :3
QuoteI prefer to make my theories based on what we do know, rather than what we don't.
Yeah, it's mostly circumstantial, but it's difficult to actively disprove and if it
is true, it explains quite a lot. A bit like cosmology, really >:3
my theory is that Edward might be a relative of May... they both have brown hair and blue eyes...
*merge-merge*
Wot?
Hum. My own theory is that this is somehow linked to Dark Pegasus's possible resurrection. Judging by Dan's flashback in 388 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_388.php), Dark Pegasus is familiar with Destania in some shape or form. It could be possible that his followers (assuming he has some who dug up his grave), or Dark Pegasus himself, manipulated Destania away from Biggs and into the open by hiding behind new information about Edward.
Though I doubt Destania quit working for Biggs. She was collaborating with him on a project which would bring about the end of the Dragon race, after all, and after investing time and effort into that scheme I can't realistically see her walking off.
Speculation aside, very nice artwork and punchline. For some reason, this came to mind:
"We live in a bloody swamp, we need all the land we can get."
"But I don't like her."
"Don't like her?! What's wrong with her? She's beautiful, she's rich, she's got huge... tracts of land."
My god, we can put Monty Python to anything.

Only thing is, I suspect that Destiana would be even more troublesome for DP than Dan ever was, considering she's a full-blooded Cubi, so if she decided to stop him, or kill him, he would
stay dead.

What if he had something to offer that helps her plans...? Keep in mind that Destania didn't exactly give off the "Warrior of Truth and Justice" vibe last time we saw her... Not sure about grudges, but for all that we know, she and Dark Pegasus may have exchanged cards at the Evil Beach Party.

Pretty much everyone at Lost Lake is evil. There's the Evil Beach Party... Lost Lake is the 'evil tavern'. 'Here there be Cubi', right? Who's a regular there? The son of the cubi professor of pain and suffering, the sister of the twink leader, the son of Wolfram and Hart, Furrae branch, the exiled queen of the fae who's only *pretending* to be nice, and a carnivorous demon-cow? Oh, and a weird tentacled undead/cthulhu thing.
Everyone who ever watched Slayers knows the dragons are the good guys in the war against Demons. Lost Lake is, like, demon central. 8) Why do you think adventurers only show up there when they're looking for trouble?

'Cept Abel and Dan aren't evil insomuch as Abel's just the way he is to hide his scars, and Dan's thick-headed. .... Wildy, who knows. (Though twinks are pretty damn evil, curse them for running my generation out of Furcadia) And the demon cow... yeah, yeah she's pretty friggin' evil, even if she's nice. Still evil.
I wouldn't say anyone at Lost Lake is evil. Evil is defined by actions, not race. Lorenda doesn't eat beings. Dan was a righteous adventurer. Abel is a jerk but not evil by any means. Wildy... er, well, she's mean, but not really all that 'evil.' Mab... is plotting something, but we can't say if it's for better or worse. And when it comes down to the Cubi-Dragon war, if we're choosing sides, I'll go with the Cubis.

It wouldn't be the first time that political alliances are made between people who would love to kill each other.
I can just picture her presentation to Dark Pegasus:
You tried to kill my son, which I find extremely unpleasant. However, as long as you give me a reason not to kill you, I won't store your soul in a jar and apply all the torture techniques I know for the next thousand years. And since I was the professor specializing in torture and pain, I might just look forward to developing new techniques of even more severe pain and suffering using you as a test subject.
Now, given this, how would you like to join me in my war on the dragons.
Oh, and any more attacks on my son would make me very angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. I get very imaginative when I'm angry.

Also of note, Pyroduck has also been deemed unique amongst dragons by the Cubi. Apparently he's the only Cubi-sympathizer, or the only one who isn't out to get them? If he's the exception, then the others must be working against the Cubi in some fashion.

Like I said, very evil. =.= Down with the Horde! Curse the favorites of Blizzard.
Sorry to bump this, but is, in light of the recent strips, anyone else slightly disturbed that Destania, without much need, just made a dirty joke about herself?
Since cubi live so long I really doubt they care anymore.
Besides its not a big deal if its for a good purpose.
I remember reading a book by someone who had been undercover in intelligence penetrating terrorist groups. The gist was that you almost had to split your personality in two, since your supposed identity had to do lots of things that your real identity found repugnant.
Well, she was acting like Biggs, so it was in character ya know.
Sides, what beautiful woman wouldn't compliment herself?
