I admit it! The little gnome creeped me out in the beginning (he’s always watching! D= ) but now he has made his way into my heart. Hooray for the gnome!
Hooray for the gnome — for now. I’d still like to know more about him before I join his fanclub, hmm?
I think Warrix now pobably knows exactly where Bill is. And also where the gypsy lady is. She may have to run away… Could she be a member of the main cast, pretty please? ^^ I’d also like to finally know what her name is…
Cool new header. I especially like the Dark Queen’s expression. You know…..after seeing the background story, I kind of feel some compassion for her. I know Vasheeva was a total B#*@% to Gina but I think there may be hope for her, yet!
Loving the comments!
Rock: I’ve considerd that… (gypsy)… I love her! And she is mysteriousssss…
Johanan: The Horse is not forgotten! Damn me and my wild tangents on other subjects! lol
Orcbuddy: I do too. Vasheeva has become a tragic figure to me, and you haven;t seen ANYTHING Yet. (we still have the rest of her tranformation to tell, as well as Voriks…)
ivan: HA! Atcually, in my head, he sort of pulled the pipe back and the rings are doin their thing, but I believe you may be right… I, uh, yes, yes, I MEANT to do that!
– one person mentioned Warrix in panel 1… did you all see him? Creepy and tellinggggg….
I can almost hear Gnome think : “All in a day’s work – But this came out pretty well – Maybe I can allow myself to be proud of myself on this one – so, well, life is good”
(Note we don’t really have to give him a name.. “Gnome” as a proper name is good enough for me.. Not “A” gnome.. not “THE” gnome.. just “Gnome”).
And folks, let me just say again… how much I genuinely love waking up to your comments on these strips and blog posts. THANK YOU!! You make this F U N!
Panel 3 should be a full-page end-of-chapter break in the print edition. The Gnome seems to have confused himself with a Hobbit.
Panel 1 – the expression on Warrix’s face seems to indicate he’s got an unfortunate view up Bill’s kilt. I can see how the memory of that, burned into his mind forever, could turn him into the twisted sort of Underlord he is today.
Gypsy survived! My heart wants to break from happiness!
First – love the new header. Second – the puns. So, here we are, all back safe and sound. Gnome sweet gnome, or, Gnome on the range? I suppose I Orc to know better and the puns weren’t Tall that funny, but Gnomebody Elf posted any witticisms, so I had to do it.
Incidentally, should you decide to Googleâ„¢ KA-MU-RASHA you’ll find LoB is the second hit.
And the gnome saves the day! However, will he ever reveal himself to Bill and friends? Only time, and the gnome, will tell. And as to why the gypsy wasn’t aware of the gnome, I believe that it’s because gnomes are probably vary good at keeping themselves from being detected and because they are like ninjas.
Throughout the various Gnome manifestations, I’ve just been assuming that they are such a mundane, ubiquitous part of the Billverse that nobody reacts to them because they are as normal as walking past a stray cat sleeping in the sun, some random insect or a pigeon waddling in the park.
Until now.
I’m beginning to suspect that nobody reacts to them because nobody (usually) sees them at all. Only us Outsiders on this side of the 4th Wall even knew he was in Gypsy’s tent; Bill & Gypsy & Frank had no awareness of him at all, up to and including him hitching a magic carpet ride upon Gypsy’s Seeing spell.
Ninjas, indeed. With native ability to use magics of distraction and invisibility. *shudders at the implications*
I love how Bill has gum stuck to the bottom of his shoe in this epic situation, as well. That is so very Bill.
Also, regarding her being unaware of the gnome, it is quite possible the gnomish spell erases memory of the gnome’s presence along with its other effects. Kinda like the flashy thing in MiB
I just heard the title song on the radio! A group called En Vogue. I guess nobody else got that since I don’t see them mentioned…
“Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, back to reality
Back to the here and now yeah
Show me how, decide what you want from me
Tell me maybe I could be there for you”
Ah sweet mysteries of life…
Yes, not a moment too soon! I wonder why Gypsy doesn’t know about the gnome…
Loving the new header
Freaky, tattooed bald men are … freaky XD
But I do love that gnome
Yay! Pink Gypsy Lady survived, hurrah! Now she needs a name. . . .
Slightly ominous that the present-day Vorik is staring out of the crystal ball.
Yes! Was the gnome planned to have this power all along or did he just evolve that way?
Maybe the gnome is actually the shapeshifting rat we saw earlier, hmm?
Love the new banner.
The gnome is also officially even more awesome than before.
I kind of miss the horse. :’(
I thought something was out-of-place… Nifty new header David & Don!!
I admit it! The little gnome creeped me out in the beginning (he’s always watching! D= ) but now he has made his way into my heart. Hooray for the gnome!
…but, what happened?
Thanks, gang!
Rizban: Lament not for the horse… he shall return.
Scott: All wil be revealed… in time… bwah ha ha!
You can always count on gnomes to do a man’s job!
Hooray for the gnome — for now. I’d still like to know more about him before I join his fanclub, hmm?

Blows smoke rings just like Gandalf, huh? Is that a hint?
Love the header, noticed it a day or two ago, sorry I didn’t say so sooner.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO NAME THAT HORSE?!?
Cool new header. I especially like the Dark Queen’s expression. You know…..after seeing the background story, I kind of feel some compassion for her. I know Vasheeva was a total B#*@% to Gina but I think there may be hope for her, yet!
Nice twist David!
Great new Banner!
Deus ex machina, thy name is “Gnome.”
That gnome is uber epic!!!
Uh.. Just a little remark here about panel 3 :
Shouldn’t the pipe be showing *BEHIND* the smoke rings ?
Because, as it is, it looks like one of those impossible Eisher constructs to me!
(Then again, it’s *GNOME*, so who knows what he is capable of)..
Not that it’s that important, or rather, it’s completely unimportant

– one person mentioned Warrix in panel 1… did you all see him? Creepy and tellinggggg….
And for something completely different..
Since when is Bill wearing tights ? (and tights with the left knee torn off no less)..
ivan: lol – that’s a band-aid (lost in digital translation) HAHA
Love the header…really captures Vasheeva’s sexy, er, evil side. Yeah, that’s what I meant.
This gnome’s job is done…for now.
The more I look at panel 3, the more I like it !
I can almost hear Gnome think : “All in a day’s work – But this came out pretty well – Maybe I can allow myself to be proud of myself on this one – so, well, life is good”
(Note we don’t really have to give him a name.. “Gnome” as a proper name is good enough for me.. Not “A” gnome.. not “THE” gnome.. just “Gnome”).
Oops.. I meant I don’t think YOU should be giving him a name
(Just a fans overstepping his prerogative)
Ivan: Agreed!
Samsonguy: Thanks!

Emoticon FAIL on my Gyypsy comment! NEED an edit button here …
The Dark Queen’s look in the new header is the most awesomest part, in my ever-so-humble-opinion.
Don, David – it can’t be said enough. You guys are the awesomest part of Legend of Bill. HUZZAH!
Anyone think the Gnome looks kinda like the Nick series David the Gnome? Anyone? Anyone at all… Beuller?
Gnome is my hero! I luh hims.
He does look like David the Gnome.

Yes, and I wrote that comment!
But the others in that search are even more fascinating…
Crystal balls have creeped me out ever since I saw the old “Inner Sanctum” movies. Weird.
…and speaking of weird, hooray for the gnome!

I will never look at a lawn gnome the same ever again. *suspiciously eyes neighbour’s lawn gnomes from window*

Or was it Soul II Soul? Google isn’t clear and the D.J. didn’t say…
I HOPE that’s one of those “magic ‘it’s just water vapor’ faux pipes” that gnome is smoking…
