Well, I'm glad to here that you're feeling better, Amber. And thanks for the great guest comic Zina!
Let's continue the song, shall we?
"As a Cubi oh yes I'm intimidating!"
"My what a guy, that Daniel!"
(Wait, is this actually Sunday's update... so should it be 07/27 at the top of the thread? Ah man, that was stupid of me...)
"No one can brandish a spork like Daniel?"
Cute comic, Zina. My favorite line from that song (not in the movie, unfortunately): "No one makes up these endless refrains like Gaston!"
Glad you're getting better, Amber! :boogie
Ren's not here to do this, so I guess I'll have to.

Do you think Dan's good at expectorating? :B
EDIT: I'm dead for doing this, right?
NO ONE MAKES GUEST COMICS LIKE GASTON
I believe I am missing the greater part of this joke...
It's not really an inside joke, more of an outside, inside joke. You'd have had to have seen "Beauty and the Beast" to truly appreciate it.

It's a reference to the song "Gaston (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fhG9hKiplfQ&feature=related)" from Disney's
Beauty and the Beast.
Ah yes, I missed that one. Still, thank you to Zina and best wishes, Amber.
Dear god, it's been so long since I've watched a Disney movie.
The end panel for this comic rocks!

Hmm. How do you read this, there's no pictures? ;-]
I've long been impressed at the reference to pornography that Disney snuck into this one.
Hehe, good one. And it's funny even when you don't recognize the song (because while I've seen the film, I'd forgotten all about it). Also, nice visual takes on Dan and Mab there.
:3 I recognized it in a heartbeat. I was a townsperson/dancing knife in the school play. But I never got to be in the Gaston dance, 'cause I missed too many of the rehearsals during a vacation. It looked fun, though - they did this hand jive with mugs.
Anyways. Awesome comic. :)
I got the refrenced second line of the comic. Very funny!
Oh, yes. I'd expect Dan's response to be "aha! A challenge!"
.. and then drink everyone in the bar under the table...
I don't know if Mab's right in this one, Dan might just be the most ardent drinker of ale there is, but who can blame him? I mean, it's full of necessary vitamins and nutrients.
So, I gather this guest comic is in place of Abel rather than just an extra comic?
Yes.
Great reference.
Very neat drawing style as well, Zina. :D
Zina's art is made out of marshmallows and candy floss.
Correction then: Your art is very delicious. :mowcookie
Noooo oooonnee... Sporks like Daniel!
Drops his shorts like Daniel!
...
Uhm... no... Try again.
Noooo oooonnee... Can impress like Daniel!
Can Cross-Dress like Daniel!
...
Dangit, that won't go over well at the Adventurer's Guild either...
(Musings of Daniel's Balladeer, after a bad day and too much ale.)
Brilliant for a bad day, Sir Balladeer. :D
When I was a lad I drank four dozen ales every morning to help me get large!
And now that I'm grown I drink five dozen ales, so I'm roughly the size of a BARGE!
...
Frankly, now that I think about it, I'm amazed that Gaston can even rhyme. Then again, it is a musical...
Perhaps it was inadvertant? I mean, maybe he wasn't going for a rhyme.
I suppose inadvertent is better than uncontrollable. In Xanth, ogres can't talk without rhyming.
Oh Gods. D: I would hate to be stuck in ogre lands.
...though I suppose... that kind of goes whether the ogres speak in verse or not. :\
~/LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking.
'A dangerous pastime.'
I know./~
Oh man, it's been far too long since I saw Beauty and the Beast.

in xanth books ogres are likely to just smash you because its too hard to think of rhymes, which is probably a good thing.
their main export is stone, which they shape, sculpt, and otherwise process by punching
Ogres are likely to smash you regardless of the situation. their rhyming is just a quirk of their low intelligence (as Smash stopped rhyming when his intelligence was raised by the Eye Queue vines).
Okay... you know how your mind keeps playing with things sometimes?
Ah, well...
"I especially like PacMan Emulating!"
My, what a guy...!
Daniel...!
No one plays arcade like Dan, no one kicks it DDR like Dan.
'Cept Dan emulates Pac Man with his headwings... :erk

No-one emulates Pac Man like Dan...

Through most of the song, that's true, but I was going for the part where Gaston joins in, singing "I'm especially good at expectorating!" while biting the buckle off of a leather belt and launching it at high velocity.
The problem with most of the "No one..." lines is - they're only six syllables long.
You can cheat a little on that, but the rhythm has to be pretty close. You'd have to squeeze it down to "No one Pac Man's like Dan"... That might not work well.
Mmm. It's been a long time since I last saw that movie.
I think your line, now I know where it goes, works better than mine. And you have a good point about the syllables; it's real hard to fit it in.
I'd think the expectorating line would involve mint tea, though. ;-]

There ya go!
6 syllables twice,
12 syllables twice,
and whatever works next - since it's been YEARS since I've heard that song!
I'm not really sure why this all seemed important to me...
Maybe because it looked like fun.
Fun is enough of a reason. ;-]
Nooo ooonne Drinks wine like Dan,
No one thinks quite like Dan,
And where Amazons are, no one seeks them like Dan!
He writes poems about them and infiltrating...
My what a guy - Daniel!
No one hides blades like Dan,
Swords and knives quite like Dan,
Uses mallets and sporks, or whatever's at hand!
The Death Knights all found him intimidating..
My what a guy - Daniel!
No one jokes like Daniel,
Gives you hope like Daniel,
No one jumps off a cliff and won't croak like Daniel!
Your sinuses won't be appreciating,
tea with that guy - Daniel!
Okay - I'm done for now.
Slow weekend...
Just passing the time.
