Niall's eye was really annoying me in the second panel, so I figured I may as well kill two stones with one bird.

I've looked at this one 3-4 times before noticing Boxen. I also missed looking at the caption "That which kills you makes you stronger", reminds me of Obiwan's comments to Vader in their last fight.

It's Nietzsche, actually.  The original quote (*) is "That which does not kill us makes us stronger".
I must confess that I got the idea after seeing Conan the Barbarian which starts with the quote in the opening titles.


*Well, the common rendition.  The original was presumably in German.

The way Dorcan opened up reminded me of this- I'm still giggling! Only difference- Dorcan would be requesting a shirt :)

"I find your lack of pants... disturbing."

As for Dorcan, the design for his appearance was originally cribbed from this strip:  http://missmab.com/Demo/Cubi03.php   ...as I have no doubt mentioned before.

...so I guess the idea of him not being big on shirts is subconsciously taken from that page.  I don't think it gives too much away to say that Dorcan is actually rather happy with his new look, once the initial shock is worn off.

"The pants are strong with this one."

I don't think I've actually heard what Dork-boy was based on, so that's kinda neat to see that.

And really, I don't think I'd complain too much if I woke up and found I'd become quite buff since I went to sleep. Besides which, he doesn't have that grotesque amount of muscle that body-builders have: it seems to be a more natural and healthier type of, well, buffness. Of course, he's already died and he's in an unaging machine body, so I don't see what health has to do with the underlying mechanics of his new body...

From the description it sounds like you're thinking along the right lines.  Dorcan is not supposed to be grotesquely overbuilt, but he is muscular enough that people can dismiss him as a jock.
...these are more-or-less the same directions I gave to Pegasus.  IMHO he went very slightly overboard there, but if you look at his galleries on DA or FA, you'll note that he tends to go heavy on the musculature anyway.

He'll get some of them back, and probably most of them eventually, but the latter is outside the scope of the story.

Kinda like how Ren tends to go in the opposite direction and makes people really skinny, hm? ;) Put the two together, and you're right on the money! Yeah, I can see what you're saying.

As to be expected. This technology is still fairly new, with only three subjects so far. Jakob's not going to have the data and research and experience and technology to build something of that level or scale quite yet, but give him a few more decades and he will be at able to have those upgrades ready and available. Dork-boy and co. should be glad they're more or less alive at this point. And I think that they are.

Besides, a Cubi without its clan marking is an interesting idea. Heheheh.

Pretty much.  This was Keaton's sketch from AC:

Ah, the infamous "he IS wearing pants" sketch.

You know, the topics of clothing and pants and wearing or not wearing thereof seem to pop up a lot in this comic's discussion.

Probably because it's the only piece of clothing Dorcan is visibly wearing.

So all three of you have your hands on that dagger! Or pair of pants.

Wait, that sounds weird.

Seriously, Amber suggested Dork-boy's outfit? Poor guy.

Just as a heads-up, we're probably looking at a Saturday or Sunday update, I'm afraid.  Part of that is knock-on from Ren's sickness last week.  The bad news is that he's apparently got Morrowind to run.  Heaven help us all...

It looks unlikely I'll be able to do an update tonight.  I think we're most likely looking at a strip on Monday.  Either that or we just skip this week entirely to give us some breathing space again.  I'm still thinking it through.

Well, if taking this week off will help with reestablishing the buffer, go ahead and take the week off. That's my two cents anyway.

For some reason, "Dorcan's Pants" has the ring of another DMFA meme to it...

You know, I haven't made contact with Ren since yesterday. Maybe his internet's down?
