HOLY BOOP, ZOMBIE VOLCANOES!
...okay, yeah, we saw it coming from the last comic. But there is a difference between Parson thinking it might work, and Magizemorda deciding it WILL work.
I think this is an incoming CMOA personally.

Taking a closer look, can anyone tell where the portal room is supposed to be in that cutaway view of the mountain?

The use of "Callahan's" for a meld is brilliant, IMHO. Even if I didn't fall for those books the way most people did, brilliant.

Wow...I'm looking at this thread with no replies for the original post, and it feels very odd. I'm never the first one to see a webcomic...ever. Anyways, by the time I post this, several others will have, so it doesn't matter.
Anyways, this was an awesome comic. Just seeing the way it was portrayed artistically is pretty cool. Good comic. Awesome art.

Re: Erfworld 148 TBfGK, page 135
That's actually rather beautiful and profound, I think.
It's a very philosophical feeling to the strip.
I also note it shows some signs of reality outside of 'the game', in that casters appear to try many different schools before finding their true calling, instead of just 'popping' as one.Last edited by Kaed; 2009-03-20 at 01:15 AM.

Great to see so many updates so quickly! Also, I don't get the "Callahan's" reference, can someone explain it to me?

The Only "Callahan" I know of is The Smiler from Transmetropolitan.

Re: Erfworld 148 TBfGK, page 135
I'm guessing that Callahan's is a reference to the series by Spider Robinson about a rather eccentric barkeep named Callahan and his equally unusual clientčle.

Nice change of pace for style.
Nothing like a little direct volcanic cardiac massage to get a good bit of magma pumping.
Also as an aside, thanks to Rob and Jamie. I know there was a rough patch there in the middle, but boy you two are coming on strong as this first arc is building to a finale.
I do wonder at the Callahan's reference. I presume it isn't Spider Robinson's, and I'm trying to puzzle it a bit before doing some web searching.

Re: Erfworld 148 - TBfGK, Page 135
I know they are all probably about to die anyway but still...
Doesn't anyone think that making a volcano erupt.
A volcano that they are standing right on top of...
That perhaps this isn't the smartest decision?
I have no idea how they expect to live though this.Last edited by tomaO2; 2009-03-20 at 01:46 AM.

Re: Erfworld 148 - TBfGK, Page 135
There are two hollowed out chambers on the left side of the top of the mountain, one circular-ish, one triangular-ish. That whole section connects to the surface without going through the main magma vent- and I think that's the rubble from where the Tower was. Ten bucks says they're in one of those.
This... this is going to work, isn't it?

Or is it wrong that I find her hot at all...Moo!

Actually, given who Maggie is supposed to be, I thought Callahan was a reference to her predecessor, James Callahan, who had to form a Coalition in the late 1970's.

I just had a scary thought.
Sizemore has the drive to pursue schools of magic outside his own.
Wanda has the talent to cast spells outside her school.
Maggie has linked the ambition and potential for all forms of magic into a single entity.

Really epic - and a great idea to show the volcano as a "living" thing. But from Sizemore's point of view, I guess, it always was...
But I do not think the face on the lower left is supposed to be the mountain's.
