Title: 01/06/2012 [DMFA# 1313] - Will it be a crappy birthday?
Post by: Infranscia on June 02, 2012, 01:17:43 AM
Sorry for the lame title.

Anyway, think if it this way, Abel: You have a Fae at your party.  That's plenty of power to handle everything that could happen! :mowmeep

Besides, it's not like you can run anywhere except under the bed. :mowwink

Abel hates surprise parties as much as I do.

I can only imagine what must be going through Abel's mind right now.

Good work with the expression in the lat panel, Amber. It really has that "Horrified" feel to it.

I would wager that he is thinking "Frig" followed closely by "how can I get out of this?".

I really like the look on Abels face in the last panel. And his body language too!

Yes, this should turn out interesting.  Forcing Abel to have a happy birthday is liable to be counterproductive.

Counterproductive but fun!

I can't help but laugh maniacally at this. You're in for it Abel, and we sure as hell are gonna love watching.  >:3

On a slightly related note, but not really, this is one of those instances that I wish the site had a comic fav'ing feature.

I agree with both points, although I'm not sure how much work it would take to implement a 'favorite' or 'like' feature. I think it was mentioned the site was going to get a revamp soon, so maybe it could go in then?

I thought it was hilarious how Abel didn't even stick around to hear the end of "birthday".

Why yes, it shall be so fun to watch Abel be forced to recall the most traumatic events of his life by well-meaning people who have no idea what happened. [/sarcasm]

Cheer up Abel you're 400 now, surely you can take it like a man, or woman or whatever gender you come up with

All this needs now is a good ol' Soulstealer family surprise!

You know, once you've lived to be 100 years old all you can really think about is hitting the booze.

I know I would, and I haven't reached 30 yet.

Also, I'd definitely read a book written by Abel. He must have better skills than most writers, nowadays.

Ironically enough, I would have the same reaction as Abel.

Quick, Abel, find a window! D:

Well, I'm almost 30 myself and I hardly act my age anyways. :P

Agreed, I would be first in line, too; if he was ever brave enough to actually have a book signing. :3

His reaction does seem rather hilarious.

Though I can't help but wonder if Abel might be overreacting just a bit.

Either that or there's something a little bit unexplained by Abel. We knew from Abel was saying so, that he planned to kill his father on this day. Though how he told it to Dan didn't really give the feeling that he might have this reaction to the party. Then again, there is a difference most likely in telling off hand and then simply expierncing a sudden surprise party.

Hmmmmm...his further reactions will be most interesting

They planned for everything... His room is underground, and there is only 1 door... And it has no lock!  :mwaha

Mab's prolly waiting for him under there.

Also, love how Abel's headwings are helping keep the door shut. Really shows how much he wants that door closed!

There is NO stopping a party hungry Fae.. Mab will probably teleport the door to a Hungry mow...

Or something like that  :P .

Ah, no joke stays dead forever. I guess since the shopkeeper made him buy the book, he might as well read it properly, rather than just scry-scan it. Obviously, he missed some bits, though not the *ahem* important ones. :)

I love his expression in the last panel. I can almost see his left eye tic.

Mab probably is the clown...which makes the choice pretty clear.
