Bill: “Oops. I don’t have to pee anymore.”
I think someone had an accident!
I like seeing Vorik in full color, specifically how even though he is the Underlord you didn’t just put him in something dark.
Where’s that pink-moustached barbarian when you really need him?… because barring a miracle, Bill’s gonna be no help at all!
Really digging the current storyline and how much you’re playing with compositions lately, David. And those colors…wow. LoB is going to the next level.
The expressions in this are priceless haha.
Hoomi: LO!! Right you are!!
Pixie: HA! You may be right!
Johanan: LOL! You have not seen the last of Kruul!
Brock: Thanks, buddy!! I’m very proud of where it’s going, and thanks to DOn Kuehn’s colors it really drives it to that next level as well!!
Josh: Thank you, buddy! LOVING your new comic as well, man!
Second panel is amazing. So crisp.
So WAS he faking last comic? Or did he JUST find them? I still think he was faking from his look on 7/8.
Dayumn!
Oh, shhhhhh… Run awayyy!!
Bill has that “Ooo! I feel warm and tingly! AND I don’t have to pee anymore ..?”
Gypsy has that Life-Flashing-Before-Her-Eyes look. It’s the difference between someone going “Boo!” in the dark and the realization that the dumptruck coming through the intersection is going to hit you in 3 … 2 ….
I’m really glad you’re going with the non-linear time aspect of this magic interaction, David. The plot potential for this is mind-boggling. This is the sort of thing that adds intriguing depth to the storyline, even while you keep the light-hearted (gallows-humor) gags rolling.
Vorik showing up in his earlier incarnation bodes slightly well … at this point in his career he might be slightly less talented & evil & ruthless than if he was popping in as Warrix from the more distant future.
In addition, I have to mention that the artwork (and the coloring of it!) just keeps getting better and better. The blasé look on Bill’s face in panel 1, the magnificent portrait of Gypsy in panel 2 … wow. Just, WOW!
Kudos!
3Xp4t might just have a point in saying this Vorik might not be quite as powerful as the future one, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough, huh? >:D
Oh, and just noticed he’s looking at Bill (only), and saying “You”. Methinks Vorik’s homing in on him, and ignoring the others… >:D
BTW, folks, this is officially the 200th POSTED LoB strip! However, if you are a STICKLER like the OWNER of the strip (jk, Dave!) it’s HIS 158th drawn strip (as a reminder, 42 strips were drawn by other contributors). Still, for ANY decent web strip to hit 200 posts–self-drawn or otherwise–is a reason to celebrate! YAY!
@3Xp4t: You said it 3X!
@Nicholas: My count says 159… but of course David and Don would know for sure.
DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!! =O
Uh-OH, Bill got some splain’n ta do. I LOVE their faces in the last panel; total”Oh S#*%!” moment. Monday’s answer: Vorik TOTALLY knows they’re there now. Today’s question: What WILL he do with our heroes? Whatever it is, it shall be epic! Also, no gnome.
Actually, now that I think about it, this is a good time for…
SCREAM
Huh. That’s going to be… awkward. But it does make sense: dark magic is all about opening doors that should stay shut. Like the doors to the tombs of dead gods… underground aberrations… and now the doors to unholy time paradoxes.
And Vorik by himself does not seem to be a great archmage. Something could easily blow up in his pretty-boy face here, especially if Bill taps into his barbarian rage again.
… Maybe this is what happened to Vorik to turn him into Sir Tall Dark And Gloomy? Only time will tell. Cliffhanger time!
Ha I just realized the Gypsy (what’s her name again?) has that chin quivering, trying not cry look on her face. Poor thing.
Please not to be killin da Gypsy! I Ruvs her!!!!
Third panel catches a laugh everytime I read this strip!
Run Luke Run!
(oops,uh I mean….)
Run Bill Run!!!
Can gypsy pull them out before Vorik can act?
NYAAAHAAAHAAAH!
Woobwoobwoobwoob!
I think that Ganyon’s Magic 8 Ball says “Doubtful. Try Again Monday.”
There has been some discussion on this previously, in these comments and also in the forum. Gypsy is in serious danger.
But there seems, maybe, that there may be some hope. I’m hoping as hard as I can. Perhaps a Gnome Intervention? Or some other good luck may save her …
However, Vorik/Warrix is seriously evil, and the Dark Omen card has now been revealed, so anything could be about to happen.
*reaches for popcorn and his blankee*
@Tom I think she’s too scared out of her mind to do something like that at the moment.
Time isn’t linear as we are. Fascinating.
@Fijiman – To quote Egon from GhostBusters: “Sorry, I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought”.
I nominate the Gypsy for “Best Chin-Quiver-of-Terror”!
Great expression!
This is not good for Bill. Great for us, though.
GAH! I always thought time travel, in any form, was a pretty risky business, now I’m positive I never want to do it.
Our gypsy lady should stick to viewing memories like in ‘Harry Potter’.
@Betsy: I was also strongly reminded of the Pensieve when the Gypsy first took them back here. But I think Vorik could figure out how to become self-aware in a Pensieve memory, too…
To quote from ZOMBIELAND:
“On the other hand, I’d finally found a place to go number two.”
3xp4t: as one who’s been the victim of a red-light runner (on a bicycle, no less), I can tell you, it’s usually far less than 3 seconds between realization and impact.
