This cannot bode well.
Next Episode: Thursday – BE HERE! Comment on the new LoB site HERE! (We’re aware of the varied bugs, and all are being tweaked asap, thank you!)
HUGE thank you to Jason Williams (of Saturday’s Barwench Tales comic) for his excellent assistance in drawing all the backgrounds. And to Don Kuehn, as always, for his excellent colors. Go, go, team LoB!
Well, if this is like the last time we visited the past, a well placed knife could work wonders to solve most of the gang’s problems. But that could never happen, mostly because it would be kind of a let-down, not to mention David has already scripted out the comic for months to come.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll reiterate: Vorik is way creepy.
I don’t think Gina is going to enjoy this trip down memory lane any more than Vasheeva is.
@Pixie — thanks for the swig of Trader Vic’s hazelnut liquor.
sent chills up my spine and made the hair on my neck stand up. woke up three days later in ohio in a corn field riding a cow and carrying a civil war cavalry saber sword and wearing a charlie sheen WINNING t-shirt . == no memory of my lost weekend.
is that stuff legal??? it was pure potatory pleasure.
“Jumpin’ Jack Flash-Back” or “beIf you could read my mind, love,
What a tale my thoughts could tell.
Just like an old time movie,
‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
In a castle dark or a fortress strong,
With chains upon my feet.
You know that ghost is me.
And I will never be set free
As long as I’m a ghost that you can’t see.”
Vorrik is creepy. How much does he know at this point? Is it a point in the past? Does he know that its Gina, not Vasheeva? And that look on his face…. Creepy!!
Isn’t it both of them (mentally)? Wasn’t the line “We don’t want to remember”?
I think it’s kind of like a “mini-collective”, two bodies, one mind
@Don — methinks gina is transported back to a point in time in order to re-live an important moment in DQ character forming . the stage here, david is showing us, appears to be DQ wedding night.
which, uh, is delicate moment of nakeness and swiving (i love that word SWIVE. call up a librarian and ask her to look up the meaning of it……*snicker,snicker*…..).
so bring the copulate on, dave!!!!!
@Charlie – I don’t think it’s the wedding night, it’s probably a more tragic point in her life. Vorrik say’s that he’s missed her, so it’s probably from a time that he’s returned after a period of absence (a quest or other business). Or is it present day Vorrik/Warrix visiting Vasheeva in the past?
Stay tuned!!
@Insectoid, the whole situation is way creepy.
We’re doomed. DOOMED!
OK, speculating on this and attempting to crawl into the dark space that is David Reddick’s twisted little world (one we all love, I might add), but…
The words ‘Dear’ and ‘Darling’ are bold, which tells me it could be sarcasm and that he knows what’s up, but wants to see what he can get out of her. At the very least, Vorrick must suspect something as he was able to detect the Gypsy when she took Bill back in the crystal ball thingy.
Now while that was speculation, this is a pure guess from what could happen…
Something tells me that Vorrick didn’t like his bride to be with a conscience, so he performed some spell or had something done that drove the good side of her (who we know as Gina) from her and created a separate person. Vorrick’s magic likely makes it possible for him to sense, if not know, what’s up inside Gina (doesn’t every guy wish he had that power) and thus the way is addressing her.
OK, my head hurts now and I must go to the dentist. Let’s just hope his last name isn’t Vorrick…
Another possibility is this is Vansheeva’s version of the flashback… remember that Gina’s version had her wondering if V had a boob job in the past or somesuch…
SO creepy. I love her face in the last panel. It’s so…”DO NOT WANT.”
Ugh, Vorrick just gives me the chills all over.
@gee1a: Gotta love that Gordon Lightfoot!
@Don — methinks you got the right take on the situation. thanks for reexamination of the facts.
it reminds me of events falling one on another, like a falling domino causing a whole row of upended dominos to fall. and poor gina unable to stop dominos from falling. or like watching a train wreck coming and nothing stopping it.
GOOD LORD. THIS IS A JOB FOR SUPERMAN!!!
Run Princess!!
Hmmm. Wonder if Vorrik could be “wall to wall counseled” by our friendly barbarian… as they used to say in the military?
*pours a round of Trader Vic shots and sits on the bartop*
OMG Vorrik Wazzizface is CREEPY! His words, his tone of voice (which I swear I can hear in my head) the look on his face give me the wiggins. And the fact that he says it while she is on her side facing away from him makes it that much creepier.
The look on her face in the last panel = FML!
The only thing that could make it creepier is if Vorrik were in silhouette mode and you could still see the mouth and eyes.
HOLY HELL!! The new look is awesome, David! I know I’m extra late but life stuff got in the way and I apparently missed out on not only major story development but also, this awesome ass page redevelopment. *slaps Family Issues on the wrist* Bad Life Issues!! Making me miss out on my Billbarbarian fix!! SN: Hit me with a shot of the Vic, Pixie!!
*slides over a shot and readies a second*
Family issues are the sucketh!
*downs them both before you can blink* Yes..yes they, do but now, I can no longer feel my face or any of my toes…Thank GOD for Trader Vic!!! :0
