I find his hair wonderfully ironic. :mowhappy
edit: are his bangles gone?
edit2: no they are just hard to see.
He's lucky it's only a week.

And that's the story of Jyrras' "hiking venture." Can't get a break, huh? :U
Yes, the hair is ironic beyond belief... >:3
All in all, so wonderfully funny! :boogie
I personally didn't expect this ending. XD
...Or for the Arc to randomly end today. Go figure.
I am sorry about the many edits to my first post. I don't normally have so many edits, but nobody had posted another comment and I didn't want to double post.
Lovely hair though he looks silly

Who says that the arc is over. Things could still happen to Jyrras.
AUUUGH! rainbow in the eye! the eyepatch does nothing!
who knows, he may like the look, and we didnt even see what got rainbowed on the others
I love this. Little Jy just can't get a break can he?
But yeah, totally did not see the last panel coming, and laughed so hard when I read it, then laughed harder when I realized how ironic it was.
I would like to applaud Amber for making Jyrras' hair not a real rainbow, but some funky rainbow-esque color scheme. It's more fun that way.

This is why I hate starting the threads. Of course, someone has to start them, and if I don't, it won't be ISO 8601 compliant. Actually, I find that starting a new thread often results in people making comments faster.
Also, a bit of my posting psychology--you may notice that I tend to post glib, positive comments before making a really critical one, because I know Amber probably wouldn't like to visit a thread and see that someone's taken a massive dump in it.

I would like his hair even more it the colors of the rainbow kept changing like a marque.
That made me laugh out loud when I read it! Poor Jyrras! :lol
OMG!! Jyrras, your hair! What will Deebs think!? Someone get him some hair dye! Or a patch, stat!
Aw, only a week? He should keep it that way. ;P
I'm thinking hat, as the Fae magic that created it will likley not be able to be dispelled that easily :D Otherwise I think Mab would have gotten rid of it for him :p
Totally :kirby though.
to be honest I like Jy's hair like this fir a while =3 he looks extra cute =3
Bahahahah! xD
Heh. That made my morning.

Unless she liked it like that.
Either that, or she didn't want to offend Nutmeg now they've stopped hating each other...
Not to sound fanboyish or anything, but I've really liked your recent comics Amber. Moreso than usual that is. I can't pin it down, but something about em's made me go "Awesome." Keep it up. 8)

My comment was more about the fact that it's not ironic. (It's like raaa-iiii-nnn on your wedding day...)
It's appropriate, not ironic. Irony would be if he claimed to be straight and his hair was rainbow colored. Or if he decided that he wouldn't use the rainbow symbol and his hair was rainbow colored.
Actually, if Alexsi still doesn't know that Jyrras is gay, it might be dramatic irony.
And I am familiar with the gay pride flag (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php/topic,3508.msg151049.html#msg151049).
Wow that second pannel is so happy i'm afraid I may have rainbow hair now too.
Oh sweet hilarity! I just wish we could see the look on Alexi's face...
OK, who say that his colorful hair is not part of the phase four of Mab's scheme? whatever her scheme is...
By the way, is someone keepping a track of her steps? So far, I only know the third step: putting a curse over Jyrras. Anyone get a clue about the previous two?
At least the rainbows weren't lethal...
Now where's that picture of the Care Bear shooting the rainbow through that guy.. Arg, I must find it!
Just to make the fangirls speculate.
*Ahem* I wonder if it's just the hair on his head that's rainbow colored >:3

Well, he is a furry so the fur is all over his face and I don't see any rainbows in his face. Unless you were thinking about a specific patch of hair that is normally covered.
Now, if he put on a hat or wig, would the covering also take on the rainbow coloration.
One of very many times i have ever laughed so hard it hurt. Simply divine!
His hair reminds me of this delicious rainbow ice-cream i had once, but i could never find any more :(

I think what you are describing is rainbow sherbet. Try doing a google search to see if it brings up any pictures.

That could be it, but i dont think it was a baskin-robbins ice cream i had, it might have been Walls. Ill wikipedia it...just in case.
You might be thinking of Neon-politan. It was this funky neopolitan ice cream but it was rainbow neon colors instead of the traditional brown white and pink.
Sounds awesome, ill get it googled....
...Maybe not, is neon-politan the same flavors as regular-politan?
(smiling, but confused) Um...uh....um...uh...
Well, I guess it made sense to Nutmeg.

Nope, it was different flavors. It's been quite awhile since I've had it though so can't recall them. But it was actual ice cream not sherbert I know that much.
Would it be the ice cream flavor known as Superman? (http://www.vaultofmidnight.com/pages/uploads/supermanicecream.jpg)
And I just love the expression on Jy's face in the last panel. Too priceless. x3 But anyway, huzzah for the end of an arc. :3

I didn't buy any, and I'd rather not take photos of food in Sainsburys because I'd look like a weirdo.
It's got three bands - brown, yellow and pink, presumably for chocolate, vanilla and raspberry or something. I never really liked it much as a kid, but the idea of it not being around came as a shock, so I had to see...

I believe that's not the "Neon-politan" to which they were referring, but "Neopolitan" which is the original "flavour".
The latter is, indeed, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. The latter is probably lime, banana, and raspberry, in the neon sort of colours you get ice-blocks in. That's a guess, but I think Janus mentioned someone persuading him it was made with paint when he was younger, and that sort of colouring would match with that. ;-]
I distinctly remember it being all of the rainbow, and not sherbet(which is quite different in America it seems). I think it was from Walls Ice Creams, but i might be mistaken. Most might not have heard of it because my whole family thought it was dismal. I had to eat theirs!

It is a rather nice colour, but would look even better in a mohawk

That's pretty close. The Neonpolitan I had did not have blue though, looking at that makes me remember that much.

In regards to the ice-cream thing, just because llearch referenced me while talking about it.... Neapolitan = pink/white/brown = strawberry/vanilla/chocolate. The one I was tricked into thinking was paint (as llearch recounted) was what we call "Rainbow" icecream which tends to have yellows, blues, pinks...
As for Jy, he's adorable as always. Further commentary internally censored. Have a nice day.

Quote from: Tapewolf on November 24, 2007, 08:05:20 AM
Woah. It does look like paint.
... quite disturbingly so.
The comic in question is thoroughly ironic, but not because his hair is a rainbow and he is gay.
It's ironic that he has been the "strait" man this entire arc where we find out he is gay and ends up with rainbow hair.
Even if this is completely unintentional, its great storytelling, so props to Amber.
Considering this thread has devolved into attempting to identify rainbow color icecream, I think the thread, unlike Jyrras, has failed to escape the fae realm...
...and yes, it looks like paint to me too.
I agree wholeheartedly! Can we please get this back semi onto topic, is Jy gay, or is he just bi? I will forever stick with bi, simply because I cannot see someone as cute and cuddly as him not liking girls! His history with women has obviously given him an affinity for guys as well, but girls are so much more likable than guys are! [/rant]
He's just gay.
End of.
.... (bonk) And that was the sound of the reference finally hitting me over the head.
This statement matches how clueless and dumb I now feel, and I'm never gonna have the chance to use it again, so:
:shapeshifters
Done.
