Anti-Heroes

[Phase]

Who said the blank paper was incorporeal? Aldran literally complains that "he stole my blank paper bit"... it must therefore be Aldran's very own (material) blank paper sheet that the lawyer must have sleight-of-handed out of Aldran's pouch beforehand.

Also, the paper is TRANSPARENT...

Of course, you mortals could always just have some sort of eyesight impairment...

Your doctors should really get on that...

EDIT: Also, Happy Forty Second page Zarah!

Deep Thought would be proud... as long as you have your towel...

[Zarah]

I guess you finally did get rid of Frank, dead wieght must be expunged.

I never said he was dead weight. Although he is a ghost, so I guess he kind of is dead weight.

In other news, today's comic is up:

Issue 53: Dutch Angle

Spoiler

Show

I was going to throw in a reference to Gary Gygax, who (if you haven't heard) died today. But since Rich already updated with a great tribute, I figured I didn't need to add much more.

Rest in peace, Gary. And enjoy the celestial realms.

[Lonna]

First reply!

"I bet he's friendly." LOL

[gragger]

Awsome comic.

The captian eh?
sounds mysterious

[Darkantra]

Is he the captain of the farm?

[BisectedBrioche]

People with perfect nouns for names are always friendly, right?

[Icewalker]

Don't forget that they also speak in black...yeah...

This comic updates quite often. Which is excellent.

[FoE]

Excellent bit. "You know what we mean!" You got a talent for this, Zarah.

[Bitzeralisis]

Him: "...THE CAPTAIN!"
Me: "Oh yeah? You think he's so almighty? You think he deserves his name and title to be spoken so dramatically? Can he send you to Neptune and get you back alive? Huh? Can he?"
Him: "...no."

Heh. *chuckles to self while others glance at me with looks of utter bewilderment, deciding to get away from the weirdo*

[Dallas-Dakota]

Him: "...THE CAPTAIN!"
you: "Oh yeah? You think he's so almighty? You think he deserves his name and title to be spoken so dramatically? Can he send you to Neptune and get you back alive? Huh? Can he?"
Him: "...Yes, and you say you can, huh?
You : No...."
You :

Edited it up for you...

[Krelon]

omg, the captain!

or as they say at the 8-bit Theatre :

DUNN DUNN DUNN

[Bayar]

think the guy said "the captain" the way Gollum said "the tunnel"

[Hoplite]

I like the plottwist.

[Vampiric]

omg, the captain!

or as Elan says :

DUNN DUNN DUNN

Edited for you.

(I do actually like 8-BT, but hey, I saw an opportunity.)

[Krelon]

Edited for you.

(I do actually like 8-BT, but hey, I saw an opportunity.)

I think RM from 8bit did that way before Elan

[Aizen]

Its great so far! I haven't read it all yet im on chapter 40-something or rather.

[Dihan]

The Captain sounds like a Timelord.

[ChaoticEvilGuy]

ummmm... when I click on comic #53 it takes me to #52 did this happen to anyone else?

[Felixaar]

I think RM from 8bit did that way before Elan

Seconded.

Awesome comic, though I miss frank all ready.

[blackspeeker]

I never said he was dead weight. Although he is a ghost, so I guess he kind of is dead weight.

Does an incorporeal creature have weight?

[Jimblee]

Does an incorporeal creature have weight?

Only if you measure with Ghosttouch scales

[Phase]

Does an incorporeal creature have weight?

Or if it's let itself go...

[Saint Nil]

I bet Gary is the captain. Who can resist putting him in a webcomic? Besides, we all know he's an epic caster anyway. Please don't think I'm trying to disrespect Gary here.

[Fawkes]

I'm gonna miss Frank. I hope he comes back eventually.

[banjo1985]

Oh dear...the captain doesn't sound good...

[Krelon]

is it only me?
I don't miss Frank at all, parties shouldn't get too big and he is like at the bottom of my sympathy rating of all anti heroes.

huh, I can't say who is my favorite though. In the beginning it was Lana but the tiefling is cooler cause she really does something and has funnier lines instead of just being dragged around.

[Zarah]

Sorry for dropping off the face of the Earth yesterday, but I'm kinda bogged down with schoolwork again. And probably will be for a while, since I'm entering a new week of midterm exams next week.

On top of that, the whole daily update thing has been starting to catch up to me, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to change that. I'll still be trying to update fairly regularly, specifically Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays (the whole Mon-Wed-Fri thing has been done to death). Unfortunately, I'll probably be missing today too, since I'm having troubles with my computer at the moment. Nothing really serious (I have all my comic material backed-up), but it makes it rather frustrating to make a new issue. And I've still got assignments to do yet.

So I'm aiming for an update this Saturday, maybe Friday too if I can find the time to make up for the lack of today's issue. Hopefully I won't drive off any fans because of lack of updates.

[Green-Shirt Q]

AW nuts. That sucks hard.

In the meantime, more wild speculation!

The captian is Zarah!

[FoE]

It's OK, Zarah. For my part, I knew it was too good a deal to last forever; I'm just amazed you maintained daily updates as long as you did. After all, it's not like you're making cash off this thing, and you have other priorities. We'll content ourselves to debating ridiculous theories and possibly writing fan fiction. (I myself am working on a R-rated Keriss/Lana slash story right now. Oh, so many shirts torn ...)

But if you ever find you're unable to continue, please don't leave us in the dark as to how this story ends. Even a short synopsis ("Cthulhu appears at the end and turns everyone into goats") would be preferably to leaving us hanging.

...

Wait, am I being "nice?" We'll put a stop to that.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Yeah, a ~3/week routine is the most optimal for this kind of art style, and for most of the webcomic styles I read too.
