Little slow on the uptake there Dan?
Just a touch.
Maybe the dress bit was the only thing he heard. I wouldn't put it past him to not hear anything else Biggs said because of that.
*sigh* Dan... you eeeediot...
Dan reeeealy has to lose that hair trigger...
oh please, Dan may be arrogant, self-centered, egotistical, and an ...wait nevermind
now the true question on the audience mind is...Is Wildy's brother more dangerous or less dangerous than Wildy or a pack of angry velociraptors?
We know Dan is a skilled swordsman capable of using a spork to block oncoming attacks
and Biggs' only known weakness is women....and mallets of justice.
but Dan has tentacles and all Biggs has is sharp pointy teeth and claws... and he is a notorious twink so he could possibly be a skilled magic user.
Could go either way...
There is the little issue of his army of twinks, and any of us who've spent our fair share of time on Furcadia knows what twinks are capable of in combat. It's not a pretty sight at all. In a land where twinks are NOT shunned and apparently are allowed by physics the full use of their twinkish powers, one twink would be more than enough to handle an army by themselves. What, with their giant mechas that can cast spells from Bastard! and nuke cities with DBZ attacks. =.=
Eh, Dan and Biggs can make all the threats they want, but this is DMFA, and Amber only does fighting in comedic ways.
Although, skipping the fight and cutting to the part where Biggs is holding Dan on the ground by the throat would be comedic. Especailly if Dest walked in at that point. It'd kinda be a throw-back to this strip (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_687.php (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_687.php)).
And if we're guessing how much Dan heard of Biggs' speach, I say he heard none of it.
My money's on Biggs.
It's already been shown that Wildy can match Dan's fighting skill, so you have to figure Biggs' learned from her. Plus, Destina works(?) for Biggs, and she's one of the only three people who's beaten Alexsi. It's plausible that she's taught Biggs more than he already knows. And speaking of Alexsi, even though it's never said, she can probably beat Dan, too. She has that "I'm the big sister, I've kicked your arse before and I'll do it again" thing going.
And, just as a side note, for being this great adventurer, Dan seems to have a problem besting the ladies.
IMHO? Destania has a higher loyalty to her children than to Biggs. Comparing Biggs to Dan is, I think, immaterial, because Destania wouldn't have any of it.
Anyone else notice how Biggs got frizzier in panel three? Nice, Amber. Also, mobile ears FTW.
I know I'm reading way too much into Bigg's emphasis on the word "Were." A quick glance at Demo 101 and you'll see what I'm talking about.
meep Bigs really is family of Wildy ... he looks very scary
It may just be the size difference, but Dan seems a lot bigger in this one.
well hes wildys brother - so dan is gonna get his tail handed to him on a platter
8) While all of this is going on, will Fi be able to sneak a drink from the mini-bar ?

I have this mental image of Biggs and Dan rolling around, scuffling, while Fi's at the mini-bar trying to choose between drinks. "The purple fizzy one or the orange fruit drink?" -two panels of further Dan and Biggs wrestling- "... Both."

Aaaaand cue Biggs' unknown guest to save Dan's ass.... I'm guessing it'll most likely be Wildy as my first choice, and Fa'lina as my distant second. Since we can already assume that Destania isn't there.

Yeah, that made me jump as well :3
As for Dan's overreaction, I'd probably do that too if the first thing I heard was a remark like the "cross-dressing son" one. Still, he might now have a chance to stomp Biggs for kidnapping his sister assuming Dee or Wildy doesn't walk in (After all, he did a pretty good job of that in strip 86).
8) Don't forget Fi informing Abel, while having a cocktail from the bar ... ( Informing does not need motion in space )

I did the same thing, too.

Biggs likely also has any number of bodyguards available at the snap of his fingers. He's not exactly living in the Ghetto.
For a second there, I thought the "were" in quote marks meant that Biggs is, in fact, a Were. But that's what comes of skimming.
As to Dan's fate, my prediction is as follows: Dee will step in before Biggs goes too psycho (Dan will still be injured though), pull them apart calmly, then greet Dan. Whether Dan will freak out is still up for debate.
Personally, I think Amber is screwing with all the folks who jumped on the "were" bandwagon. Just my 2p...

Dans a girl now?
'
in a fight i'd say, there wouldnt be one, Biggs should know better then to attack wildy's toys.
before Biggs said Gak, i'd say he was about to say, dee said to give you her new adress or something similar.
*Charles :U* He's a 'were'! He MUST be! Amber would never make us think someting only to have it not be so!
*Charline mm-hmms* All this time and he still doesn't know Amber at all, does he? :rolleyes However, notice that though Biggs seems small and weak and therefore would normally be on my menu, I've never once made any mention of trying to eat him. I wonder if that means anything... ;)
Now, now, I'm sure with a few apologies and a nice brunch the two of them can sort everything out. After all, in Dan's defense, he was expecting Biggs to give a bunch of "I don't know what you're talking about, little boy" nonsense and that he would need to beat the information out of him.
Well it seems violence has taken away the peacefull option .. back to violence I guess :)
Ah, good to see that the "Biggs might be a Were" wild speculation bases are covered already. :)
Also, Biggs looks awesome when he's angry. He should be angry more often, the "feral" look suits him better than the "relaxed ruler of Twink Territory" one.
Anything looks better than a twink. >.>
The angry biggs face is *way* scarier than the angry merlitz face.
I think the idea of Biggs being a were is a heck of a stretch. It'd be pretty cool, though.
Anyone else loving the swapped expressions in panels 2 and 3?

To be fair: The Angry Merlitz Face usually comes bundled with the Flames of Burnination add-on.

ME!! I thought that was hilarious.
And although I'm worried about what this might say about my sexuality, I have to agree with Biggs.
Dan looked much nicer in a dress.
It's true, he did. Still no Abel, though.

8) Why should Fi bother from getting away from the mini-bar ? Fi was told to follow Dan around, and to get Abel if Dan did something stupid that may get himself hurt. It has not happened quite yet. wait a few pages and see ...

Angry Biggs probably comes with enough combat skill to take on Angry Wildy face. Which ay mortal would fear.
Mobile ears FTW.

Actially, I meant that in reply to Pagan's post. Dan DID look better in a dress. xD
I was just looking at past occurrences of Biggs
Biggs to Wildy about the advantages of letting somebody hit you (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_737.php)
Biggs to Destania about the advantages of letting somebody hit you (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_724.php)
Wildy to Biggs about the fact that Biggs is a master manipulator (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_738.php)
Is it possible that Biggs made the comment about the dress in order to give Dan the opportunity to attack him, possibly in the furtherance of some other plan. Could Biggs be planning for Dan to take a drink in the same way he offered a drink to Wildy (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_738.php).
8) So what now, that Fi has tried out the drinks at the mini-bar ? Is Fi about to fall over ?
