Albanion needs a couch there to complete that little scene. I'd also like to know what kind of conclusion he'll come up with. :3
Holy... I just noticed something else (man I seem to be saying that alot lately) In the last comic, Mab had her antennae, but not the glowies. In this comic, Albanion has the glowies...but not his antennae? :erk

That would be alternate universe evil... or 60s evil.
and if you add a monocle or a twirly moustache, it would e 30s or Hanna-Barbera evil.
Yay! Real Albanion!
Noooooo Jy Jy! Don't hit the horsey! He might not catch you!
just have one question. If someone took digital pictures of the Fae Relm would the picture develop?
I must say that Jyrras expressions are priceless and his ears seem to keep getting bigger.
RETURN OF EAR-ZILLA!!! (resist factor = zero)
I bet if Jyrras treats it as a videogame where anything can happen he would be better off.
Though something in me tells me that Albiaon kinda wants Jyrras not to be hurt so he's watching over him.

More like Jyrras has the hots for EVERY guy, including Albanion (even if he was really Nutmeg), so when he started falling, he believed that Albanion would swoop in to rescue him. At least, that's what's going to happen in my slash-fic!
Heh... I wonder how long it will be before Jyrras x Albanion catches on. Sure, the guy's married and all, but he is cute... >:]

Oh jy... think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts...
That's not albanion. it's an evil doppelganger sent by .. .um... um... some current antagonist.
Come to think of it, there aren't a lot of evil guys in the plot at the moment. Things have changed.

And this is why all Fae have wings. Just in case they believe that they won't believe, if you believe me.
:mowhappy Jyrras seems to be a natural at being the fall guy. Even with Dan in # 357 - 358, he just pick's himself up, and goes off to look for the next rock to jump off. Amazing and resilient. Even his screams sound real... He must be getting used to it by now...

Hmmm I guess theres only one way for him to land...Probley thinking really safely ;)

The weird thing about this comic is, I've been on a Hannibal Lecter kick for a few days, and now suddenly psychiatry pops up in the comic. Not for the first time and delightfully nonsensical, but still.

Also alarming is the fact that I seem to be hot for jerkdom. Albanion's behavior is definitely in the Abeljerkery category but it makes me all flustered. :U
Why is Jyrras rolling up his sleeves? Unless he's got rockets in those boots, he can't get over to where Albanion is.

Nah, it's just old-fashioned evil from the 20's/30's (dangit! I'm all messed up again!).
You could say that Hanna-Barbera brought evil to the next level (which is still sucky to us, unless you like old-school).
Wait... am I saying this right? Dangit!
:curseyou Curse yoooouuuu!!!!
Bwahahahahaha... XD Amber's facial expressions are priceless. And that little avie of Jy falling nearly made me spit-take. XD
I like Albanion. He's fun. It's like Abel, only more brightly colored - and he can pop up any random props he wants.
And he may have invented the yo-yo.
And as for Hanna-Barbera villans... all I'm coming up with is Dick Dastardly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Dastardly)...
But he only has a curly mustache. And maybe goggles count for a monocle?

Um... am I missing something? What makes everyone so sure this is the real thing? I assumed it was still Nutmeg. :mowdizzy
The only reason Nutmeg went to the real world as Albanion was to try to convince Mab to let Nutmeg have Mab's mom's soul. The Albanion disguise was becuase Mab always stabs Nutmeg. That is already out of the way. Now that they are back in the Fae realm, Nutmeg has absolutely no use for the disguise anymore.
Not to mention, in this comic, Ablanion's colors aren't messed up. When disguised as Albanion, Nutmeg kept screwing up the colors. I would say that's pretty good proof.
This is the real Albanion we are seeing. Unless, of course, Amber comes and says otherwise. Which I would bet money isn't going to happen. That is, if I had any money at all.... :<
I don't know why, but I keep thinking of the "You Can Fly" song from Peter Pan, for some reason. Come Jyrras, all ya gotta do is believe! :giggle
:)
This one reminds me alot of Cool Cool Mountain from Super Mario 64. Its got the ice slide that was inside the mountain, its got an infinite free fall because in the game Mario never actually hits the ground when you jump off the mountain and inside the mountain it just looks like a bottemless pit. Heck the mountain itself was just floating in the sky, along with alot of other levels and stuff from other Mario games. Hmmm....
Ok now, would you choose the leaf, the feather, the tanooki suit, or the wing cap to get Jy out of this free fall. Personally I'm torn between the tanooki suit and the wing cap. The tanooki suit is just pure awesome, but the wing cap has head wings.....so hard to choose... >:3
Wait till Dr. Albanion starts asking him about cigars.... :P
There's absolutely no reason for Albanion to be within 10 million light years of Jyrass, whereas Nutmeg was watching him fall, and was just reminded of how she screwed up the colors before. It'd be an unbelievable coincidence if Albanion himself suddenly showed up, while having it be Nutmeg would make sense -- she's just being silly, which is bread and butter to the fae.
Oh, and as for the colors, compare:
http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_782.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_782.php)
Nutmeg's first appearance as Albanion, completely identical to today's strip.
Nut wasn't watching him fall. She's not there. Of course, that doesn't neccesarily mean she isn't aware of it though. I have a hard time thinking that uber-magical virtually invincible completely immortal Creatues that have an entire alternate dimension to themselves can't "see" what's going on wherever they decide to watch. Albanion was probably 'watching' this entire scenario, and now has decide to drop by in person. That's part of why it makes sense to me.

the native girls or the pictures?
...Hence the joke.
The film; native women always have big boobs.
.. Don't crush my dreams.
Jyrras isn't thinking with portals. Also: EARS!
So did this comic make anyone else think 'oh, it's the shadow shard, he'll just be teleported back to the entrance portal when he reaches the bottom of the world'?

There's no reason for alot of things in the fae kingdom. Also you put your own foot in your mouth with your last line. Nutmeg's first appearence as Albanion was spot on because she was calm then. She started messing it up because she was losing her concentration/not paying attention as she talked with Mab, Jy, and Lorenda. Therefor THIS is the real Albanion no doubt. Not to mention there is one likely explanation for him showing up. Since Nutmeg disappeared a little before them maybe she went ahead to excitedly tell her husband the semi good news.
Well said, Netrogo.
.....Dammit, don't we have a thumbs-up emote? ah well, this will have to do :peace
:mowmeep Well, Jyrras must really like falling. He must be an expert about it now ...

8) And he must be getting a real thrill out of doing it too ... He is " The Man ", to becoming a fall guy ...
If the fae world is where your dreams become reality, perhaps it would make some sense (in a bizarre way) for flying lessons to be composed of Freudian analysis of dreams. Just a random thought to run up the flag pole. Feel free to shoot it down.
By the way, in Peter Pan, it wasn't belief that enabled you to fly. Belief kept the pixies from dying. It was pixie dust plus happy thoughts that enabled you to fly.

Let's hope Jyrras can keep from thinking the worst. If not, well...

Ah, the old psychological stand-by statement. "Now tell me about your mother" Now the question is, is this the real Albanion, or is Nutmeg playing a prank again?
I and Netrogo believe this is the real Albanion we are seing. So far, only Terrycloth has expressed that he thinks it's Nutmeg. As far as I know, no one else has voiced their thoughts on the matter.

Uh... what? Nutmeg has demonstrated the ability to look just like Albanion, therefore this can't be her looking just like Albanion? Now *that's* logic! :mowtongue
Yeah, yeah, she might have gone and gotten him off camera or something. It's not like finding out it's really Albanion would make me think the comic was inconsistent or plot-holey or anything. I just think it's more likely she just happened not to be in the frame for a couple comics and flew down to rescue him when she saw him fall.
That is not what Netrogo said. He said that Nutmeg can't nail looking like Albanion properly. Simply talking seems to make her lose focus, not to mention deliberately "falling' right beside someone while giving them the shrink act. Since this Albanion has the correct colors, we assume that it is the real Albanion.
It took her three comics to lose focus, so far this Albanion has appeared in one frame.
Quote
not to mention deliberately "falling' right beside someone while giving them the shrink act.
Don't you think that would speed things up,
just a little? Talking takes very little focus. Deliberately falling whlw pretending to be a shrink, even for a Fae, would probably take a bit more. If Nutmeg is so inept at holding a form that she can't even talk for more than half a minute without starting to mess up the form, I can't imagine her being able to do this and hold a form at the same time at all.
Not as much as trying to trick someone who's going to stab you and/or deny you your chance at happiness would make you lose focus.
I mean, whoever this is, they're having fun with it -- they're not stressed at all.
Stress has absolutely nothing to do with it. This is really esentially multitasking we are talking about. From events, we know that Nutmeg sucks crap when it come to multitasking. And Nutmeg was losing the colors well before she was stabbed.
So it might as well be the REAL Albanion
Um... that's what we've been saying the whole time... :rolleyes
Quote from: techmaster-glitch on June 28, 2007, 04:45:27 PM
Stress has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Stress has everything to do with it. When we've seen Nutmeg screw up -- the colors and the law -- it's because she was nervous.
Hovering in midair... that's not hard. She does that constantly anyway.
... hmm, I wonder if this Albanion is actually Mab? Mab was the one who we *know* saw Jyrass fall, after all. >:3
Nutmeg. Screwed. The. Colors. BEFORE. She. Was. Stabbed. I'll say again; Stess has no bearing whatsoever on this. It is a multitasking thing. Which Nutmeg is no good at.
And nutemg screwing up when she made the tail-law was a completely different situation. She wasn't shapeshifting, and it was public speaking. I completely fail to grasp how that relates to what we are talking about.
My guess is that Albanion is trying to distract Jyrass so that he will forget to fall, and therefore stop falling.

"WHAM!"
The thread title reminds me of an old adage: "If at first you don't succeed, blame someone else."
now personally I think the discussion on whether or not its actually Albanion or not is kinda unimportant, the direction Jyrras went on the other hand...
