You don't need it to be vorpal to take them off by the neck. Plus you still have to rely on that critical.
In other news, I still don't know how to take a hostage in MGS3 without slitting their throat. I suck (Yet I've beaten the game with just about every camo, including all boss camos).

But Pyro's a dragon, so wouldn't that make him Sharptooth?
The kobolds might have something to say to that.
The title bar of the comic has me craving gyros now though... Should go and buy the fixings for those sometime.

Since Mab is watching her do it while still being more interested in her conversation with Pyroduck, I'd assume it's a drop of two or three feet rather than a sheer cliff.
You're interfering with my speculation.
It's starting to look like Pyro could be vulnerable in his humanoid form.
It's starting to look like there's dragon-specific hardware out there, to cope with the invulnerability of the skin. Or that's how I'd see it...

Possibly, but that would mean that he's revealed his dragonness to Mab. If she already knew
that she would also have known that Aary, Abel and any other SAIA-educated 'cubi would go utterly berserk when they found out what he was.
QuoteJabberwocky
by Lewis Caroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
edit: I bolded the relevant parts if anybody can't be bothered...
edit 2: HURRRRR maybe I should credit the poem
I think he hsa the acrutements to protect him from harm and make him invulnerable. Remember he's a dragon and they hoard like hamster's . So he got the cool stuff he is wearing to protect him.
I think he has the acruments to protect himself from harm. Besides he's a dragon and he hoards like a hamster. Therefore the cool stuf he is wearing to protect from everything.
This still doesn't explain the "insert hand" thing. Why did she do it? And what's souvlaki?
I guess the "insert hand" thing was just Mab trying to break the ice, a silly scene with no real impact. :P
And yay! Looks like we'll stay with the rescue party for a while! *cheers*
I love Mab's "Hmmmmm..." pose in the third panel. You just KNOW the result will be silly xD

*Charline thinks the Jabberwocky got a bad rap!* Just like dragons... and my mother! Humans are always blaming us for eating them! Is it our fault that people are edible? If they don't want to be devoured, they should be poisonous or have thorns or something. >:3
*Charles edges away from Charline, for she gets bitey at times like this* :c Uhm, I wonder if Pyro's hiding his tue identity from Mab because fae have a certain degree of animosity toward dragons too.

I think Mab must know he's a dragon. Why else would he mention the attack was with a vorpal blade and not just say Abel attacked him. Maybe the two elder races can sense each other and she's known from day one and fae just don't care about the fight. Or if, as has been speculated, this is just a Fa'Lina predjudice spred to SAIA students she doesn't know.

Mab knows Fa'lina, so if it is some weird inter-racial spat that Fa'lina is propagating, she will know about it.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a joke is just a joke. I don't think anything Mab has/can do involves actual malice.

What the heck is a snicker-snacker?
When head and body part ways.
*reads the Jabberwocky poem* Whoa, didn't know it was a reference :B I thought "snicker-snack" was just Mab's personal euphemism for "terrible, horrible, painful death that can't be described in a PG comic." Though I guess I wasn't too far off.
I believe the saying was One two ontwo sniker-snack...and there was a mention of a wobe, curse your "Through the looking glass" refrence Mrs.Williams, I havn't read it in almost ten years.

Same here, actually. Funny how DMFA raises my levels of general knowledge every now and then :3
"So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought."
hmmm... I bet that's what Mab tried to get ol' P-ducky to stick his hand into... :kruger
on a COMPLETELY different note, this idea came to me in a dream. What if Dan is really a dragon? or, maybe half cubi, half dragon? Say if Destania came to the inn where edward was staying on that faithful night... pregnant? she then magicked him into looking only like an incubus. Maybe the union caused lots of strife to break out, sort of a romeo and juliet thingy...
think about it!
That could potentially explain why Dan hasn't gotten his clan mark yet.. but there's too many similarities between Dan and Edward to be a coincidence.
And Dan isn't exactly unknown to dragons, considering that he still owes 10 bucks to a certain red one.. but then again, said dragon happens to be absolutely absent-minded, which is not a usual dragon trait based on demonology.
And for why Mab didn't know about incubi hatred against dragon: It might be Cyra Clan/ Ti'Fiona family line specific. (The Ti'Fiona family line might have some relation to incubi/succubi, simply based on how he made up with Destinia, and it's unlikely Destinia would fall for the tricks she herself taught)

I think "no halfbreeds" might go for creature/creature halfbreeds too..
And what about the laws against creating new races, mentioned here http://www.missmab.com/Demo/undead.php?
I still think it'd be unlikely that a dragon cubi hybrid would be created when the two species each want the other to get cancer and fall off a bridge.
On a side note, kudos to Netami's taste in webcomics.
I think Mab knew that PyroDuck is a dragon for a long time.
One: Mab is not dum she just acts dumb
Two: Mab would have dragon on her list and probably hugged Pyro off camera (which would give a hint on how Pip became her pet)
Three: Mab is a purple kitty riddle with a tail in the middle (been wanting to type that).
Mab is more aware that many expect and a helpful plot convience which means that Amber gives her information to make Mab more helpful . :mowtongue

Indeed, it was Charles Dodgeson's euphemism.
The poem and the storyline from it was given a strange twist by Terry Gilliam in
Jabberwocky (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076221)..which is probably why I remember it.
I sortof liked Roger Zelazny's take on it... albeit in passing...
And here I thought a snicker-snack was a..snicker..as a snack..Mab has a way of stopping fights, as we saw when Aary started attacking Dan, so I assumed she handed out mini snickers. Silly me ^.^ *Pokes the ebil cubi lioness goddess* People are not that edible. It takes alot of spices and herbs to get rid of the 'ick' aftertaste and that's too much preperatiion for one meal.

Hear hear. Here is a man who knows his stuff. You should never let your human eat too much salts or yeast products before you eat them. Feed them pasta, rice or potatoes. And in the case of cubi, it might be good to cover up their eyes and give them a quick kill, otherwise the emotional aftertaste might become undesirably sharp.

Well, the Jabberwocky movie looked like one of those cheaply-made poorly-written and acted Sci-fi channel original movies. What did anyone expect from it? They made a movie out of a less-than-one-page poem. There was not enough to carry a movie, so they had to make up a bunch of stupid filler. It'd be like making a movie out of Tron or Super Mario Brothers or a live-action Street Fighter film (Oh wait! They did that! And the movies sucked...) My point exactly. :3
Gilliam hasn't had a perfect record of movies by a long shot. "The Brother's Grimm" was another example. It was an idea with potential that never really came together in any meaningful fashion. There were so many places the plot could have easily been improved upon that you really have to wonder what they were thinking when they wrote it.

Well perhaps I'm just easily pleased (although that wouldn't explain why I found
Life of Brian and
Holy Grail to be boring).
Jabberwocky was cheaply made (a couple of interesting artifacts at the end are a result of this) but with a cast of quite famous UK actors (which is possibly why).
On the DVD commentary Gilliam notes that if he'd done it again he would have tried to do it seriously. That I think would be a mistake.. it's not the plot which I like, because as you rightly say it's pretty flimsy. No, I like the way Palin triumphs by bumbling from disaster to disaster and above all the weird touches like the potato's journey, the masochistic flagellants and the bit where the prince comes to rescue the princess.
Repo Man does the same kind of thing and I like that too for the same reason.
Now I'm happy to discuss films - preferably those at least tangentially related to the comic - but other people might not. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Except... Bowser WAS Koopa. At least, that's what Japan always seems to call him. So they spookily got that right. Besides, the SMB manual called him "king of the koopa" without giving him a name name. >.>
It was just so... dumb. There were some amusing scenes, yes. But as a whole, it was just... dumb. :B
And Tron... I kinda liked it when I was a wee little thing of 6 or 7. I watched it again a few years ago and realized that my memory of it had been terribly selective. It's like "The Black Hole", almost farcical but trying to be serious. The South Park version of the Tron villain was better. Moses! "I desire... maccaroni pictures." :mowwink
Yeah the Black hole that was a flick early on from Disney. But I saw Tron and SMB it was cool in the sense of their campyness. I also saw Mortal Kombat the movie and the sequel. I love it for the violence aspects. But that's me here.
