[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[Forikroder]

i mean it IS julios ship

[Mariel Dragon]

That could've gone worse, I suppose.

[t209]

Pow! Now that's a way for an update.
(Sure hope it didn't end with Elan cutting a vital rope.)

[Eragon123]

Even with the sword laying right next to him, Roy STILL doesn't pick up the sword!!!

[Zenzis]

Initially I thought it as some classic blunder made by Elan that would cause yet another problem. Then I remembered what ship it is.

[Nilehus]

Elan was helpful in combat without telling an awful pun? It really IS the end of the world.

Nice to see how far he's come.

[khadgar567]

elan makes nice save and Roy decides to go monk on ice giant looks like a good comic but that save kinda clutch

[Keltest]

Given that this is Julio's ship, Elan is probably right.

[S@tanicoaldo]

Sometimes I forget that Roy has the strength of a giant.

[Cazero]

Hi-three.
Because using your touch spells normally is too boring for a swordman as dashing as you are.

[Chei]

This is my favorite page in a long, long time.

[HandofShadows]

LOL. That's great on many levels.

[Syncrogti]

Hi-three.

Is it supposed to be "Hi There"? I don't understand.

EDIT: oh, instead of "high Five", ok. Cuz three fingers. I think the word "high" instead of "hi" would have helped a little.

[Iruka]

He has probably like quadruple redundancy on all ropes.

[ShinigamiKenji]

I didn't really expect Elan to succeed in healing Roy while swinging in a rope with only his feet, when it took 11 Mendings to fix the balloon. Then I realized that, since it would be awesome, Elan's chance of succeeding was quite high, being a Bard/Dashing Swordsman and all.

The hi-three was the icing on the cake.

[Starknight62040]

Awesome comic! Glad to see that Elan's use of dramatic training is still in force.

[Grand Arbiter]

=AWESOME!!!

[Bluepaw]

Hi-three! How delightful

Elan is getting better and better at playing to his strengths, which are, as it turns out, substantial... (including, apparently, being so dashing as to conjure a rapier out of thin air...)

[Herr Doktor]

Woo-Hoo! Elan for the save! Bards rock!

[Shining Wrath]

High-three.

Never change, Elan. Never change. Sometimes it is better to be lucky and heroic than smart.

[Goblin_Priest]

Didn't see that coming!

[Joe the Rat]

hi-three!


So the entire sequence was just a set up so Roy could punch the giant in the face?

[Kalmageddon]

And as soon as Roy gets healed I hear this tune in my mind.

[Shining Wrath]

Even with the sword laying right next to him, Roy STILL doesn't pick up the sword!!!

He does on the last panel. He had to deal with a charging giantess first.

[stsasser]

Ropes! Huh! What else are they good for?

[Mad Humanist]

Why does the comic have the wrong copyright date?

[Ivrytwr]

Hi-Three!
And of course, it is for heroic swinging!
Thanks Giant.

[Arkku]

Hi-three, Oddly Effective Elan!

[Doug Lampert]

Yep, that's a dashing swordsman on the Mechane, OF COURSE the ropes are there to cut and swing on.

They may serve some other (secondary) purpose, but cutting a rope to swing on is probably the primary purpose when all's said and done. They need to be able to arrive in the nick of time and swing into the dentist's office or whatever.
