I must say I've NEVER enjoyed a relationship in a comic quite as much as these two. It's so... um.. realistic, really :)
Also I'd probably love to have a giant cobra-taur draping over me as a method of death.
And do I see Gargoyles on the TV? Cool!
Going out that way, I'm sure most men would die happy. Also I love the Alien Dice cameo. Great comic in my opinion. They are turning out to be a very cute couple.
GYAH! Cute... couple... too... CUTE!
Seriously, though, Amber, they are adorable as a couple. And it's not going bad considering he only went out on a date with her to spy on his sister.
Aww its just so cute. :U Imma go burst into flames from the adorableness.
Also: In the second panel, I notice Matilda's third eye is looking in the opposite direction of her other two eyes; and it kinda creeps me out.
Alsoer: I am quickly falling in love with Matilda's wallpaper.
Holycrapherthirdeye'slookingtheotherway :mowdizzy
And yeah, Matilda knows what she wants...and what Matilda wants, Matilda gets :D
Nevermind, it is Alien Dice.
Too bad it's not one of The Cyantian Chronicles (http://cyantian.net). It needs more love :3
I wonder what she is think about? beside messing with Dan
Now that's what you call having a 'crush' on someone :3
*blink blink*
Wha' happen'? :erk

Wha' happen'? :erk
I flash back which was triggered by the vague comment of "sure now you want to see my bed". Amber is just catching us up to speed. At least what I think that's what happend here.
One thing this proves though, when she crawls up into your lap your feet will be asleep for a week and that's getting of lightly. :mowdizzy
But then again strange enough Dan seems totally refreshed for some reason. Hmmmmmm.
Cuteness overload in t-minus 20 seconds...
Maltilda is too awesome for words.
For some reason, I like the way Dan's feathers are all ruffled. Nice touch there Amber :mowmeep
*Blinks*
Senses... tingling. Must- *KABOOM!*
The caption reminds me that 37 percent of all statistics are made up.
Matilda is far too subtle. Dan will never figure out what she is hinting at.
Will her hind legs kick if Dan rubs her tummy? :mowhappy

No, but I'll bet the comic rating of the strip will jump from PG to OMGWTFBBQ if he does it 'on screen'...
Air and resolve! THe weakness of anything! Except...you know, things that don't need to breathe...
Matilda is Win.

I agree with you so much that the amount of agreement cannot be measured in percentages. :3
Matilda is lovely. ~~<3
Roll over Dan! Roll over! :U
This is absolutely adorable! I love it!
Also, with matilda's eye looking ... that way! it makes for the weirdest expression!
AWWWW, such cuteness. :D
OTP. I am quite satisfied with this cute.
O_O boobs again ... I mean ahem ... hey err thats got be like having a horse laying on you ouch.
I fear to think what would happen to Dan if at some point Matilda has to be "on top"... >:3
Can't help but smile at this strip. Matilda is the most awesome whatever-she-is, and then some.

Not sure if you're joking, but if you aren't: Looking at the curve of her back, Dan's not getting shoved into the couch - much. And, by the position of his right(?) hand, he's not in any ttrouble
Good to know her head hood is floppy and not rigid. What? That's not the first thing you guys noticed?!
No actually...
"DAN! SHE'S EXPOSED HER BELLY, IT'S HER ONE WEAK SPOT AND YOUR ONLY HOPE! GO FOR THE TUMMY TICKLE, IT'LL RENDER HER HELPLESS!!!" :3
P.S. If relationships do get started it'll be a refreshing change. I'm thoroughly sick of the standard anime "we like eachother when all alone, but we never get in a relationship because we can't admit our feelings in public." See also: Kagomi and Inu Yasha. So frustrating!

yeah, got me thinking and wondering and wanting to know the weight of the characters....
bellyrubs?
That... Does NOT look comfortable!
But it's just way to cute for my eyes to handle! :mowmeep
Suuuure, the cobrataurs get all the love! What about the spidertaurs? XP
But yes, Matty is bloody adorable! Like dancing kitties! :januscat :januscat :januscat
Or Dancing Abel! :ddrabel
<-- is one of the 9 out of 10.
Interesting. I was wondering yesterday if Dan was going to tell Matilda what Regina and Dark Pegasus looked like so she would recognize them if they walked into her shop.
I definitely wouldn't mind if Matilda was to lay on me like that.... >:3
I'd counter with a tickle that would lead to a sweet, sweet pillow fight...... :3.........ah, maybe Dan should try this tactic! :D
Matilda's feet....panel three.... Ultimate adorable win. These two are so cute together. And it hasn't hit me until now just how large Matilda is to Dan.. :U She didn't look nearly that big when they were walking togeher.. She's still adorable non the less!!!! :3

LOST LAKE INN, A retired adventurer attempting to pass on his genes will have to wait some time before his next "adventue". Daniel Ti'Fiona, was admitted to the local hospital for a crushed pelvis that he "got while trying to wrestle with an owlbear". His girlfriend, Matilda Kissriss, however, told us the
real story. It turns out, they were trying to get "intimate" and Ti'Fiona insisted that his lady should be on top...
"It was working out well until I heard this horrible crunching sound and Dan got this look of horrible, nightmarish pain on his face..." She explained,
"Eh, Dan's done stupider stuff than this." Pyroduck, resident smart-aleck stated. "I have little doubt that he'll make a full recovery, given a month or two. Of course, since most 'taurs weigh over three hundred pounds, this was to be expected when using that position."
"I don't know him... I really don't..." Another local replied, who only identified herself as "Alexsi".
Another individual, who we were informed was known as Abel, couldn't stop laughing long enough to comment.
Another of Dan's friends, known only as Mab, was too busy trying to pry her drake off of the cameraman to comment.
Despite the fact that he was heavily sedated, Ti'Fiona had a few words to say about his experience.... "Whoo-Hoo! I had Snoo-snoo!"
We only hope that when he succeeds, his offspring get their mother's intelligence...
So cute. Sooooo cute. @_@

Oh god yes, I'm so with you there - God forbid we were to show some affection in public !!
The Ai Yori Aoshi was basically build over that whole concept.
So frustrating and annoying.
Dan and Matilda are so cute! Squeeee! :mowhappy
So, Dan's afraid of putting the girl he dates at risk. It's understandable that he has that concern in the general case, and it speaks well of his chivalry. But in this case, this is arm-severing fire-Mythos Matilda we're talking about! I'm pretty sure she can defend herself against a few little demons.

I nearly died laughing reading Drayco's post. I can' believe I even remembered the "Snoo-Snoo" referance. >XD!!!! I can't feel my lungs!!! Ahahahaha!!!!
Should this be indexed with the canard about Catherine the Great's death while supposedly involved in similar activities.
Agreed 'baut the abdorable! ^_^
Matilda has always been my favourite char, and she's cementing that for every appearance she makes in the comic...
While it is indeed adorable, I'm more curious about the black boxes along the bottom of panel three. I can't figure out what they are.
I think it's the backside of the television and adjacent objects seen in panel one.
Interesting... I can't even re-read the thing while trying to drink... It didn't seem quite as funny when I was writing it for some reason...
I was originally planning of having somebody claiming to be his best friend while mocking him, (Prolly Wildy...) but I think it worked out better this way. Most news reports rarely interview every inhabitant and most likely, the Inn would be getting the phone call.
And I doubt Pip would save him as he would live, (Remember that it says "At-Risk Survivor" up at the top.) although he'll have to endure a lot of pain. (But that's why they make painkillers!)

Yeah, you're right. This isn't just chivalry; he's relationship-shy. He enjoys spending time around Matilda, for sure, but she's been coming on really strong before he's sure about the relationship idea. And he still might have some of the not-comfortable-with-himself issues.
Anyway, have I mentioned that I enjoy these two together? :mowsmile Oh yeah. I have.

When I rub my cat's stomach, she play fights with her teeth and claws going after my hand. At least I assume it's play fighting since she doesn't draw any blood. She goes after the other cat the same way.
I have this picture in my mind of Matilda breathing fire when content.
Some cats don't like to have their bellies rubbed. Of course, some cats will scratch you because they think you're playing with them. I should know. I have the scars to prove it. :januscat
Now back to the topic...
I think we should update Dan's bio and change his status from single to dating Matilda. I'm beginning to see a serious relationship starting to develop. Provided a certain zebra demoness doesn't mess things up. Come to think of it, I wonder what Dan and Matilda did the night they went back to Matilda's house. She offered him a drink. Did they get drunk on 1945 Scotch or 1883 French white wine, and fall asleep? Did they kiss? Did they make out!? Will Destania discover her daughter is in love with a dragon!? Amber, you're tormenting me with these trivial, yet important questions!! :kefka
Tune in next time where we'll hear the crusty old adventurer who was Dan's least favorite professor say, "Hey big man, give me a dollar!"

Looks to me like the back of the TV and speaker. :mowcookie
I think one of the reasons that Dan is so comfortable around Matilda, is the fact that she's immune to his Incubus Charm magic .. thing.
So he doesn't have to watch himself, sorta speak, which means he can relax properly.
Plus she's wonderfully silly and they do mesh well together.
Not sure if it'll become serious.
It could, but then again, it could also be one of those "we flirt because we like to tease a good friend" kind of friendships that happens every now and then. They are pretty much a best buddy kind of friendship, with the added spice of flirting for the fun of it, knowing nothing serious will happen. You'd be surprised how far you can take such a friendship.
I once had such an odd friendship with a girl called Sarah, and we were both in relationships with someone else as well.
My GF of the time, had at least two or three people tell her each day that I was being unfaithful to her because of my friendship with Sarah.
Likewise, Sarah's boyfriend was getting the same notices. And the simple reason was that we were probably flirting more with eachother, than with our better halves. Once we were almost making out in the middle of a restaurant while double dating. How my GF never got angry at me over it, I shall never understand. We did that silly flirt thing for almost a year and then suddenly it just stopped and we continued as regular friends. Offcourse then my Gf suddenly became worried as hell, asking me if there was something wrong between me and Sarah.
That was kinda weird.
Now I think of it, Sarah knew Guy-Lingo too.
She was a brother in arms crime!!
:D
