Re: So was Stanley aka The Tool running away as a chicken actually a good thing?
You know this for a fact? How might this be? We have not seen Stanley tame any dwagons. Perhaps he sings them a KISS tune and they eat walnuts out of his hand and are tamed. My prediction is that the song used to tame dwagons is Detroit Rock City. But you must also have walnuts, and be attuned to the Arcenhammer.

Re: So was Stanley aka The Tool running away as a chicken actually a good thing?
We do? How's that? You think, with no support at all in the strip, that some kind of martial ability is needed to tame dwagons even if you own an attuned Archenhammer. I think that all you need is to own an attuned Archenhammer, because there isn't a hint of any other prerequisite being required. Walnuts and Detroit Rock City are optional, but fun.

Re: So was Stanley aka The Tool running away as a chicken actually a good thing?
Well, I thought it was pretty simple, actually. Either the author made a mistake and Stanley does have a talent for taming dwagons, or he did make a mistake, and only the Arkenhammer is needed. When I equated the likelihood of the author making such a mistake with Stnaley singing them to tame them, and you agreed that singing them was pretty foolish, I thought you were agreeing that the author wouldn't be foolish enough to make that mistake.
Because, after all, that seems to be what you're saying. The Author made a mistake putting "Taming dwagons" as a strength for both the hammer and Stanley. For you to be right, the author had to make that mistake.

Re: So was Stanley aka The Tool running away as a chicken actually a good thing?
I believe the author indeed made an error by listing dwagon taming under both the Archenhammer and under Stanley. I further believe that that this is not a shocking revelation but a repeated occurrence, and is a natural consequence of being a fallible human being.
I'm not really clear what else you're reading into this, but I do not believe that there is any hidden or deeper meaning or context to be gleaned from this.

Re: So was Stanley aka The Tool running away as a chicken actually a good thing?
It's not "your" thread. You don't own it. I didn't start this sidebar, and am not going to apologize for defending an author that knows more about what's happening than any reader. Goodness knows no one is perfect, but Thinking the author made a mistake when there are perfectly good explanations without such a presumption seems to me to be a poor arguing position.
After all, the author can ensure correctness by changing a detail or two to ensure he doesn't appear incorrect. A great example of this is Battlestar Galactica's final Cylon. They revealed in the special before the final episode that between the halves of the final season, the writers had sat down to figure out who would be the final cylon. They consciously rejected anyone that was a popular choice on the fan forums: merely by trying to guess who was the last, you were automatically wrong. The author, in this situation, can do exactly the same thing. Whatever was intended, he can change that detail right now to anything he wants without having to alter the comic in any way. So, BJBB, you're wrong, not because the author might have made a mistake, but because there is so little about this in th comic that the author can ensure that it is correct without ever revealing he made a mistake.
