I don't see "it", but the size seems to have shifted slightly. And nice how Kin's tail is hugging the left eye....illocust wrote:Hey is it just me,or has the eye nearest kind shape shifted to look a bit like it has the scar around Min Maxes injured eye? It's not exact, but it's definitely changed since we first saw it.
Okay, after some uncolouring and un-shading, and a bit of proportional resizing, I got this to compare:illocust wrote:Hey is it just me,or has the eye nearest kind [I assume you mean Kin, not kind] shape shifted to look a bit like it has the scar around Min Maxes injured eye?

Personally, I kind of agree. But that "I'm in love with your mom" joke was good enough to make it okay with me. Also, this comic isn't a drama, it technically still is a comedy. Kind of. Sometimes.Glemp wrote:It was suggested on Patreon that there's one for hate, one for happiness, one for despair etc.
Also, I still think MinMax is too open about things. We saw him broken in the Maw earlier, and it's been a scant few hours since - I think it should still be too painful for him to talk about, but Thunt can still get his thoughts across using facial expressions. Right now, it feels like Thunt is trying too hard to lighten things up but as a side effect, he's undoing the impact of the drama and making it cheaper.
Right, and I can expect some comedy from other characters, like father/son stuff from Thac0 and Complains - Thac0's over his trauma in Brassmoon, and a little boasting about their one big successful adventure so far isn't a bad idea. But I think Thunt overdid it on the drama so every character in GAMP's got a reason to be sad (Kin, torture, Chief), and that made the impact all the more impactful when it happened, but he's mishandling the cooldown afterwards. You can't just make Complains have a good cry and then go back to joking, that's not how people work. Of course we need comedy so this doesn't become IN THE GRIM DARK PAST THERE IS ONLY WAR AND DEATH, but right now isn't the best time. If Thunt wants to lighten things up, we can cut back to Idle/Bowst or Dies or even an interlude with some characters we left behind like the MAP.SamWiser wrote:Personally, I kind of agree.

Hey, don't speak for all people. That's EXACTLY how I work!Glemp wrote: You can't just make Complains have a good cry and then go back to joking, that's not how people work. .
Feed the beast please.
Thunt confirmed itOrzahn wrote:When was Big Ears orientation ever confirmed? I know there was a whole speculation page on it a while back, and Thunt had said there is a(or are) Gay character(s) but when was it ever stated? Also am I the only one who thinks One-Eye should be seen with Big Ears near it?
Big Ears can be gay and not love One-Eye. It is possible for gays to have friends who are male but not be in love with them. Just as it is possible for straight men to have women who are friends but not be in love with them. Plus, One-Eye wasn't necessarily gay, to my knowledge. Just Ears. Mind you, he's probably letting the tribe down. Odds are they'd want a strong warrior to have children. Not so much for his ears. Of course, it is possible to just have children for the tribe's sake, but that's another cultural issue entirely, one not touched on here.Orzahn wrote:When was Big Ears orientation ever confirmed?

How does this work? I may be wrong, but wasn't it Big Ears who wanted more women in the war camp?kida wrote:Thunt confirmed itOrzahn wrote:When was Big Ears orientation ever confirmed?

Yeah, I get that, but One-Eye's death motivated him to take the (not all to easy) path of a paladin, it would seem like a thematically nice thing for One-Eye to have been more than a friend, at least to Big EarsTalos wrote:Big Ears can be gay and not love One-Eye.

Visually similar, but legally distinct.LarsenSan wrote:I just realized they call Kin a "serpent-folk" instead of a "yuan-ti". Just sayin'
[shrugs] I think monster names are one of those things NPCs in the Thuntverse just know, like the levels and challenge ratings of whoever they're fighting.Krulle wrote:Does the GAP even know the name of the race ("Yuan-ti")?
ETA: Chief knew, but the race name has never been mentioned near the others...
Yes, wasn't Thunt planning on going back and changing everything to serpent folk, because Yuan-ti is Wizards of the Coast's property, and not freely usable?spiderwrangler wrote:Visually similar, but legally distinct.LarsenSan wrote:I just realized they call Kin a "serpent-folk" instead of a "yuan-ti".

Our brain went at first to a drunken-style "I love you man" (probably rendered unrecognizable if you substitute "goblin" for accuracy).Synch wrote:I would have titled this strip: Motherlover
Presumably the need was obviated. We have observed similar usages in other comics (for example Rusty & Co refers to "YT" the snake-woman as a "lamia", but describes a certain magic item as the Python of Merrshaulk in the same storyline, which also contains obviously recognizable Slaads, and an earlier storyline named "Illithit" something features what are clearly mind flayers, right down to the brain-eating). While it is apparent that Wizards is happy to be litigious, it seems as though "burden of proof" has to be extremely clear for an actual takedown to occur...likely anyone who could afford to take their case to court would win a clear demonstration of fair use, so the issue of copyright C&Ds largely amounts to bullying, and seems to fail if any defense is attempted, however expensive and frustrating the fight may prove).RocketScientist wrote:Yes, wasn't Thunt planning on going back and changing everything to serpent folk, because Yuan-ti is Wizards of the Coast's property, and not freely usable?spiderwrangler wrote:Visually similar, but legally distinct.LarsenSan wrote:I just realized they call Kin a "serpent-folk" instead of a "yuan-ti".
