Cursed, of Course: A Fantasy Comic

And Vis really isn't happy with this.
That puts a smile on my face.

Question is, is he going to take this lying down?

Okay technically he takes everything kind of slouching, but you know what I mean.

[Fyraltari]

There's a temptation among some writers to change plot points when someone guesses all or part of them, I think. Surprise is good, but I always want it to be something that makes sense at least in hindsight! My job isn't to defeat the audience, it's to tell a good story, and if the story is flowing logically, sometimes people are going to guess things. In my mind, that's a feature.

I agree. A cohesive story is more important than contradicting a random internet nitwit.

Oh I expect he will protest strongly.
How strongly remains to be seen.

But I guess at the very least Mr. Sunshine will have the freetime to join the party.

Plus Mr. Sunshine's expression in the last panel pretty much says "either you follow your own damn rules or I turn you into a shish-kebab flambe you friggin' smurf", so there's that too.

I mean, everything about Vis basically cries Midboss, he might as well embrace his role.
And accept his new name for that matter.
Just like Vyers „The Dark Adonis”

His new name? Bea-Vis?

[Kantaki]

His new name? Bea-Vis?

No, Midboss.

Still one of the best scenes in Disgaea.
„I am Vyers, the Dark Adonis.”
„Nope. You're Midboss now.”
And the game interface agrees.

[danielxcutter]

Darth Vis?

[The Fury]

No, Midboss.

Oh. Sorry, Disgea references are lost on me.

Same here, really. Got a link or something?

[Kantaki]

Digaea.
I knew that looked wrong somehow.
Oh well...

But the games are great.

I'm sure a dog would love to take Pellan up on his last comment.

[Fyraltari]

The trick is make nice words sound like insults.

No, the real trick is to make insults sound like nice words.

[Kantaki]

Huh. Are those Stormfallen in the audience?
Third and second falling judging by their blueness compared to Cat and Vis.

Also, I knew Vis would only back down cause people can see him.
And Mr. Sunshine is free to join the party. Yay.
Run away while you can Mr. Sunshine!

[danielxcutter]

So Sunshine got... fired?

[ti'esar]

...So is Parhan Vald "Mr Sunshine's" actual name? I can never remember if it's actually been mentioned, and I don't want to take the time to go through the archive.

[The Fury]

No, the real trick is to make insults sound like nice words.

The trick? Inflection and tone.

The world turned upside down!

I've always wondered, what does one actually do when told to go about your business?

[danielxcutter]

Hooray! Pellan wins!

[Jasdoif]

I've always wondered, what does one actually do when told to go about your business?

I think you just move along? Maybe pretend you have somewhere else to be and try to look less conspicuous about it?

[Kantaki]

Poor secretary lady.
Having to deal with Vis' tantrums must be hell.
Dude looks like he's going to murder someone.

Also, Cat?
Why the surprise?
Weren't you convinced Pellan got this?

[Fyraltari]

Get back to work.

[Kantaki]

Get back to work.

But work ended a few hours ago!
It's weekend now.

[IntelectPaladin]

First I would like to say, that expression of victory is incredible.
Secondly...is everything alright, Shoreward?

Hey. Pellan's making progress.
Marginally.
Cat approves though.

Cat in the fourth panel is cute.
