    New comic is up. And I actually get to start one of these threads for once.

    Huh, you only beat me because I double checked to make sure it wasn't already there?! :P

    I am loving these action shots.

    I just realized that Parson was not speaking figuratively when he said "crap 'em." How awesome is that.

    Brings a new meaning to the phrase "Pull my finger"...

    I saw a 4chan and NSFW in special effects... very nice. 4chan's reference I felt was particularly appropriate.

    So now they're going after the other coalition representatives. Obviously, they'd be leaders with higher values, so that alone would make them high-value targets for Parson, but it may have the secondary effect of breaking up the coalition. Very good move on Parson's part. Can't wait to see how Ansom counters this.

    There were all kinds of wildly NSFW things referred to here, nicely done. I love "NSFW" almost as much as "NWOBHM" as a sound effect!

    The look on Ansom's face is priceless.

    I read the strip quickly and stopped when I saw tubgirl. I knew the others had to be just as unsavory. This strip definitely covers the crap of the internet. Can't wait for the next one!

    Also I find the fact that Ansom ordered Hamster captured interesting. I think that Charlie made that as part of the renegotiated contract. That and Hamster's wrist calculator.

    So, Shockmancy... really is. Truth in advertising WIN!

    I was wrong, I thought it was going to be electrical. But at least it is direct damage/explosive, not just psychological surprise, so I was happy with it.

    Obviously the Coalition is booped. I'm going to guess Sizemore pulls through the whole battle after all since he can go to ground, although there's time for boop to happen.

    Interesting, Sizemore probably still has the spell '2 Girls 1 Cup' available for later attack.

    And now we know for sure what one of the conditions of Ansom's contract with Charlie was, there would be no way Ansom would let Parson live if he didn't have to.

    Huh? I think it was, the yellow thing which hits the helpers looks like psychological shock effect to me.

    Yup. Both funny and faintly disturbing. That's some strong dark magic there.

    And "NSFW" is my new top comic bizarro sound effect of all time.

    More precisely, I thought it was going to be electrical only. And I'd have been disappointed if it was surprise only. I was too into getting on the first page to leave my comment for a moment and re-read it before posting.

    Oh dear god. If I was a survivor of that, I'd be crying.

    Is Sizemore riding on Mr. T? With Sizemore's kind heart, I bet he pities the fools. Oops, I meant foos

    It looks like surprise like only (they're cowing in horror). It gave time for Sizemore to disengage (his troops were not swamped by the enemy and he himself was not attacked).

    The crap part doesn't seem related to the spell, I think it's generic crap golem stuff.

    The yellow beams looked like energy to me. And the *pull* <my finger> struck me as in the same broad category as the "shock" magic words, if not to the same degree.

    But I see now what you're saying. I'll have to look at it some more.

    Yeah, the images are too small. The face of the grey guy falling looks horrified but at this resolution it's hard to tell.

    Edit: yep, my take on this is that shockamancy is something which renders your opponents unable to react for a round or two, thus allowing you to safely disengage and flee. I don't think the crap bomb is related to that, Parson made a difference between shock them and crap them.

    Crap golems are bombs!

    If shockamancy actually consisted of lightning, I'd be less terrified.

    Also, I really, really don't want to cross a Shockamancer now. Before this comic, I just thought they would shoot lightning any me...but there are some things worse than lightning.

    There was a joke about Goatse and Shockamancy in another thread.. surprised the creators used it.

    And references aside, did Sizemore just waste two enemy coalition leaders? "And yet, this still feels like a mistake" indeed.

    Poor Ansom... he's going to try to capture, not croak.. unfortunately for him, he won't get the chance to do either... :D
