A cookie to everyone who predicted the Thriller parody!

[OverWilliam]

"Belief in Michael Jackson." Priceless.

[leo_neil316]

HELL YES!

Also, Wanda manages to make even dancing zombies fanservice.

[archmage45]

YES!! That's awesome!!

[BRC]

I love the little Evil-Hamster helmets Parson and Bogroll are wearing.

[Surprise!]

I would think there might be some sort of penalty for fighting against dancing units without dancing. Given Zammuessels and Vinnie's constant mention and wardrobe choice because Stanley had dance fighters.

Micheal Jackson is the king of pop. No denying it.

[Lamech]

Top part of the comic... still has me laughing. Hahaha... so the bonus Parson has is leadership, luck, dance and maybe artifact. So lets see here I'm just going to assume those uncroaked are bat level of weak. Lets see if the sword give Parson a Ceaser level of bonus, and Wanda's uncroaked bonus equals Ceaser's full bonus... what else? Throw some luckamancy in there and add a dash of dance. Umm... uber heavies? Something tells me Ansom will have to charge in... good thing we all know he can melee Wanda to death.

P.S. *snicker* top line still has me laughing.

Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell."

damnit! in the time it took me to realise I needed to click a link in my email to fully register it went from no posts to like... 10, and i bet there's another ten before I've finished here.

Anyway, awesome comics. Does anyone else think looks a Wanda little like Erin Sun (or however you spell it) from Farscape? just a littler?

[ishnar]

I somehow didn't foresee this nor did I see the speculation. So it's one of those things I thought, "Ohh, I should have seen this coming."

Realy? Cause lots of people were talking about Wanda dance-fighting to Thriller way back when they first mentioned Dance Fighting, again when we saw dance fighting, and at scatered intervals between the two. I actually thought it was a good idea, but way to obvious so that if they did dance fight, they'd do a different dance just to screw with us.

[Lamech]

I remember speculation around when, Wanda was playing with her undead toys. In the background Wanda was in fact having them dance to thriller I think. We just forgot about it recently.

[Geno9999]

*Looks at warning in the beginning* What?
*looks at last panel* OH. BIGGER OH. Ansom is soooooo screwed right now. moreso than before.

[plainsfox]

Hrrm...Ansom's side has been deficient in Dance fighting. I could imagine Jillian's continued employment if she made up most of Ansom's dance fighting capability.

And is it just me,or does Bogroll finally look fearsome in this one?

[slurpz]

This was a welcome sight to see as a break in studying for exams.

[Alturin]

I was laughing so hard over this one for like 2 minutes that I'm glad no-one else was at home, otherwise they wouldof surely though I went mad :D.

I didn't catch the dance-fighting reference earlier, does anyone have a link to the comic where it is introduced?

[Feirgon]

I don't believe in Michael Jackson either, but this is my favorite page of all time.

THRILLER!!!!

[Iain]

Looking forward to the next Thrilling update.
And, is that an uncroaked marbit third from the right in the last panel?

[Slayn82]

Well, i personally like this one

http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=5JkjE-GN_qY

go, dance fighting Wanda...

[Lolindir]

{Scrubbed}
Awesome comic!

Anyone notice the undead marbit in the last panel? (It might be a gobwin, but I assume it's a marbit due to the shape of the head)

Also, seeing Parson in the fourth panel, it reminded me of the D&D song from Stephen Lynch. "I got a big broadsword made out of cardboard!" It just expresses the sillyness.

Then again: last few pages seriously kick boop!

[Nemal]

I haven't posted in months.

I must now.

THIS PAGE IS TOO AWESOME. XD

[Oslecamo]

This was a welcome sight to see as a break in studying for exams.

Same here. I come home from a special hard exame and have this hilarious comic to cheer me up.

First of all...

HURRAH FOR MOAR WANDA FANSERVICE!!!!!!

Uhum, how many dresses does that girl has anyway? I don't see the other mancers changing clothes willy nilly anyway.

My guess from this comic is that units need special training to be able to dance, so only elite units are taught it, but uncroacked being mindless can dance to their master's desires.

Hmm, could Sizemore make his golems dance? They already have all the rock theme and all. Or perhaps he's just not high level enough to do so.

Also, Wanda's head even smaller, reinforcing the whole maturity growth theory. I think it won't get any smaller, since any more "maturity" and the comic gets R-rated. Half naked girl leading army of dancing zombies? Hell beatifull

[kreszantas]

First thing jumped out for me was the croak unit that aint ours... "With Pleasure".... priceless

[Kaolix]

The comic has really kicked ass these last few strips. Absolutely awesome!

[Cpt. Sqweky]

Man, this page was so BAD!
...
*looks around*
...
*hangs head in shame*

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have subjected you to a pun like that.

[Gilthans]

Rob Balder and Jamie Naguchi, you are my heroes.

[Sieggy]

And has anyone else noticed that Wanda's boobs seem to have gained a cup size or two? Must be the excitement . . .

I strongly suspect she's in Croakamancer heaven right about now. She gets to bring all of her strengths against an enemy she hates and despises, and knows that Ansom is going to HAVE to come after her personally to have any chance at all. I'll bet that Parson and Wanda have devised a plan for dealing with him, and this will be her second chance to get her hands on the Arkenpliers. And this time, she's in the center of her own forces, not broken and alone. Her revenge will be SO sweet.

Bogroll looks like he's in his element as well. and is also looking forward to kicking some pint sized kiester. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's the one who takes down Ansom - literally. In order for Ansom to engage Wanda (or Parson) from his twinkie carpet, he's going to have to descend to very low height, and while he may be out of reach of all the normal sized folks, Bogroll can reach up and grab it.

I very strongly doubt that the carpet has the lift capacity to handle something as massive as Bogroll. And the 'special mission' that Bogroll is anticipating may be acting as a decoy, bringing Ansom into range and pinning him in place long enough to take him down. Whether this will result in his death remains to be seen, though since he regenerates, I dunno . . .

[ObadiahtheSlim]

I loled. Great job there guys. That disclaimer was excellent.

For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

[Whispri]

This one I loved.

Ansom should really learn to take a hint.

[Kilbia]

Unfortunately, the costume change didn't tip me off to the last panel (I really wasn't into Michael Jackson at that age, except for the songs that Weird Al Yankovic parodied). But that's fine; made it all the more delightful.

I *really* love how all the uncroaked are in Hamstard T-shirts. Oh, and Wanda's gold-glowing eyes in the penultimate panel...I know that's yet another reference to the Thriller video, but it was still awesome.
