That was the best thing EVER! Haley gets her speech back! Elan beats Nale! Thog hugs Sabine!

[Baloo]

Oh, and I guess everyone else noticed how the rapier switched hands all the time =P?

That's because Elan knows something Nale doesn't - he's NOT left-handed.

[Grod_The_Giant]

applauds




great dramatic comic!!

[MandibleBones]

Sweet mother of mayhem, that was AWESOME.

[Xenon]

im going to go with the affectionate barbarian for the win here.. you just cant top thog in a leprechan outfit giving a sucubus a hug.

can we get a 'mars needs women' joke in here? (little green men, and all)

[BiggusGeekus]

Thanks Giant!

And Merry Christmas!

[Swashbuckler]

and so it finally ends!

Now, turn around you two love birds ... and gut Nale and the rest of his evil crew!

[Nekkira]

YEAH!!! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! Really the very best comic ever!

[Shara_Littlebottom]

Awesome comic! Thanks Giant! Happy holidays all. :-D

[Korta]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What a great Christmas gift, Giant! Bless your heart!!!

*filled with Christmas Cheer* :)

[The Glitter Ninja]

Terrific strip. I really loved this one, Rich. I can't wait until Wednesday.

[bshimoda]

Hrmph. There are typos in Haley's speeches. I'm just sayin'... };-)>
Awesome resolution to the plotline, man!

[Estelindis]

Yes! Oh, wonderful quips and witty remarks from Elan! And praises - Haley's speaking again!

Best. Strip. Ever.

What a great Christmas present, Giant.

[TMTree]

Ridiculously awesome, and a great cliffhanger for the christmas period. It's amazing how much The Giant can make us care for stick figures- the look on Elan's face in the panel where Nale says "The switch was Haley's idea..." was unbearable!

The recent run of strips has been fantastic.

[Ghosthunter]

Well done, Sir. Well done.

[calvinism]

Wow this new class for Elan is quickly becoming my favarite.

[Seeker52]

Gosh, too bad there won't be a Monday (Tuesday in Europe) strip. The plot is going very well...wonder if will get out of 's hug.

[InuSaga]

. . . OMG, thank you, Giant. I'm going to be dying by Wendsday.

[Sinewmire]

So... so very good...

Hot damn! That was awesome. Thankyou, giant.

Nale at least made a good try of it. I love Elan's quips, too. Pity we didn't see more of Sabine, she's a favourite character of mine. Still, good things come, eh?

[The Doctor]

Remember, no comic on Monday.

You know, that is SO evil...

[Sailacela]

YAY! A great strip to hold me over til next Wednesday! YAY!

[dcviana]

Ohh my god, now I have to wait until Monday to see what happens. The ansiety.

Ohh, wait, not until mondey, wednesday!!!


OHH NOOOO!!!!!!! POW (*head explodes*)

[Amon Star]

OMG!!! That was SO good it's untrue.

First, shows is stuff by neutralising with . (She is SO gonner make him pay later!) Plus, his dialogue was fantastic. So calm & collected, so overconfident.

Then totally PWNED him. TOTALLY. You go , kick his Evil Identical Ass! The best part was, he did it without betraying his ness, cuz he dist himself too!

But :nale wasn't beat yet! Like the true Evil Mastermind that he is, he sowed discord & discent, turning our poor gullible hero against the effectively mute . He may have lost the on the field of battle, but the day still would be his, for can never beat him in a battle of wits. But there was one thing that forgot, one thing that is always the bane of the forces of evil.

Spoiler

Show

The Power Of Love!!!

Thus the forces of good win the day, but the war goes on, fore can so totally ditch them in this situation.

[Sebastian Bux]

Horray! Man that was fantastic!

[Thrawn183]

I thought this one was great because Elan, Haley and Nale pulled out all the stops. Haley made the breakthrough with speach, Elan became effective, and Nale almost won.

[Brother_Hood]

Nice to see Elan with some competence at last.

Oh, and I don't have to worry about reading the translations in the forums for Haley now.

[TigerHunter]

So... now we switch to Belkar&Durkon.
The question now is.... will Nale pick up his dagger and sneak attack Elan in the back while he's dumbfounded, or run for his worthless life?
My prediction is run. He's beat--Elan carved him up so well that Haley can probably take him even dagger vs. unarmed. Plus he HAS to get out--he's going to be making his power grab for the gates, giving us a spectacular 3-way battle scene for the final comic (which I can't wait for, but hope never comes).

EDIT: Oh, and... Giant, you RAWK.

[DaveBo]

Merry Christmas, Giant! Thank you, so!

[Eldhrin]

Wooooooo!

And thanks for the translations too, nice to see the last of Haley's confused thoughts.

Way to go Elan with the Nale-kicking wisecracking action, too.

[Felinoid]

Hmm... I am the only one disappointed with this strip.

Dammit.

Wait...aren't you the cyborg?
