24/01/2011 [DMFA# 1191] - Plotting!

[Ghostwish]

Well, I thought his favorite food was roasted duck. Perhaps this is his favorite snack?

[Scrap Fish]

Dream S'mores are the best S'mores.

I dunno if there's really any 'Plotting' here.  I see it now.  I still would have called it "Sweet dreams are made of these", but maybe that's just me

Anyway - I like Jyrras' eyes, I don't think Amber usually draws them with the pupils like that, if it's an experiment, I think it worked.

And yes, it's good to see Abel get a break.  (Even if he shouldn't strictly be able to dream and apparently hasn't for hundreds of years.)

Damn you for getting that song stuck in my head! XD

[Madmann135]

A Hex on you Amber, A hex on you Able... you have gotten me wanting *cue dramatic music* S'mores.

If this dream is what happens when Deebs is involved... She may be the most diabolical thing to be accidentally created.  Anyone who can get others to have 'gumdrops and lollipops' dreams is borderline evil.

[Caswin]

Heh heh heh heh heh... oh, Abel.  I think you had this one coming.

[Bakoneko]

And yet he's still dreaming!  Has some sort of switch been flipped in his brain so he's just going to dream all the time now, like a creature?  Or is this a sugary, fluffy sign that something's still wrong?

Looks like those of us who haven't stopped worrying about Abel since Abel's Story aren't out of a job just yet. 

~ Bakoneko >^^<

[Naldru]

I think that the appropriate pun would be that we want s'more of these.

Difficult to say at this stage.  If I were him, I'd ask Fa'Lina about it next time I saw her...

Anyway, welcome aboard and don't forget to read the forum rules if you haven't already done so.

[Bakoneko]

Anyway, welcome aboard and don't forget to read the forum rules if you haven't already done so.

Thank you!  I did, and I promise I'll be good.  DMFA's been my favorite webcomic for years, so it's way past time I registered, even though I don't often have a whole lot to say besides "Love it!"

Also: Jyrras saved Deebs from the evil book monster.  Awwwww...

~ Bakoneko >^^<

[AxiLarin]

And yes, it's good to see Abel get a break.  (Even if he shouldn't strictly be able to dream and apparently hasn't for hundreds of years.)

I definately agree with that.  After dreaming about dead friends and scary Pip monsters, being able to have a dream all about s'more paradise is... quite amazing.  But I wonder why happy dreams after such shocking revelations.  Is it the knowlege that Devin still exists, even if he is undead?  Or perhaps the effects of alcohol on a sleeping Cubi's mind.. especially one with an affinity of misery?

[Escher]

My reaction to today's strip:

OMG CUTE ABEL WITH SMORES

That is all.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

I think that the appropriate pun would be that we want s'more of these.

Yes, they're very more-ish...

~ Bakoneko >^^<

... I was going to say "ooo, a stupid kitty", but that'd be bakaneko, wouldn't it? ;-]

It could still be a diabolic nightmare; he could be dreaming about getting morbidly obese by eating way to many s'mores...   

[Alondro]

*Charline wickedly interferes with with Abel's dreams*  Abel bites into a marshmallow and finds... Devin's severed arm.     And one by one, body parts and heads are found of the entire adventuring party from long ago, and the heads speak and blame Abel for their demise since he's a cubi.   

[MT Hazard]

What Jy is saying here is something I've though myself in regards to potentially dangerous people/ creatures, capacity to not equal intent or desire to harm. After all, every able bodied human  in the world has the capacity to commit murder yet the majority do not. Just because a person has the power to melt your head doesn't mean he will.

Unfortunately, as a society we are more likely to be prejudice against those with the increased ability to do harm than take the steps to make a harmonious society. If we did people would be less likely to be violent, irrespective of their ability to do harm.

[nevwyn]

I dunno which one looks more tasty the giant s'mores bits or Abel. Both are likely to give me sugar nightmares. 

[Blackwolf359]

Now Abel just needs a fire for roasting and he'll be having the best dream possible.

[Infranscia]

Cuuuuuuute~!  I think I'll turn that 'mallow hug into my avatar for another forum.  Maybe one of those 'fan' bars...

Yeah, one can only guess at why Abel's dreaming at this point, and personally, all my current guesses seem kinda iffy.

Abel's headwings don't seem to be showing, and I know they're not hidden.  But I guess they're just folded back, or something.

@ Blackwolf: He's got fires for roasting
Marshmallows for toasting
And chocolate bits raining like snow
Much unlike the backstories
Of murders so gory
And dark dreams of so long ago

It's the most, wonderful dream of the yeeeaaaarrrr! </earworm>

EDIT: Oh yes, I think it's safe to say that this comic is rather cavity inducing.

Actually, that is his screen name signature. A few people like to put their screen name at the end of their posts.

I'm guessing that Abel's dreaming has to do with the fact that he is no longer under the protection of SAIA.

Not a problem.   

[D'ymkarra]

Fixed 

[lilpuppy23]

Hmmm.... S'mores...

[Mrs_A_ZeTavia]

It looks like Abel would make a great step-daddy for Deebs; they already share a love for mallows...

. . .

. . .

And yes, I ship Jyrras/Abel!

Cuuuuuuute~!  I think I'll turn that 'mallow hug into my avatar for another forum.  Maybe one of those 'fan' bars...

Yes, I agree! We totally need a 'fan' bar of the mallow hug Abel!  

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Now, if when he wakes up, his pillow is missing, then I'll laugh uproariously.

[Jasonrevall]

Nice change of pace I would say. Darn cute too.

Anyway - I like Jyrras' eyes, I don't think Amber usually draws them with the pupils like that, if it's an experiment, I think it worked.

I do think it has changed slightly recently. The eyes seem to pop out more.

[Anker Steadfast]

I wonder where Abel has learned this strange craving for sweets ?
Perhaps Fa'Lina has an extra class named "Sweets and you - Why muffins reign supreme!"  ? 

[Arroyo Milori]

...ffff I actually want to see a desktop background of Abel and smores now

[John Roh]

If the giant chocolate and marshmellow are sticky all that fur will make it a nightmare

[Tenfey]

I have not the skills nor patience to craft smores proper, and thus must resort to smores pop-tarts.

They are delectable.
