Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
*Sigh* Well, the feeling of adequacy from the comic was good while it lasted...now we appear to be once more entering the cut bonus material from the Never-Ending Arc: Bulgak and Loxo go to Hell Castle.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Hi Bobby, and welcome to the thread! As has already been said, it's good to see a genuine fan around these parts
On tomorrow's comic, I actually liked it. The last panel is appropriately creepy for a hell arc. It's always fun to see the calm characters lose it.
It even makes sense that they're there. Okay, so we don't know what they'll do when they catch up, but they were following Karnak and lost the trail when they were swallowed by the gooey plot hole. Logical.
However, I would've liked to see a "damn, hell heals all our wounds, so we only feel the pain, but never die, that sucks," kinda speech. I mean, for ONCE the story is in a place where insta-heal could actually be justified, and he doesn't even bother.Spoiler

Heyall,
So the strip got less interesting the moment it shifted away from Siggy and back to the orc? Huge surprise.

So is Loxo going to turn into a Soul Eater?

Why is everyone always eating something in this arc? Seriously, I think the best way to become King of Hell would be to open a chain of affordably priced family restaurants.
When in doubt, light something on fire.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
I'm betting it's more that Bulgak and Loxo are turning into Demon Lords. At least, I hope, since that would seem to make a bit of sense and actually be an interesting plot.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
This one caused me to headdesk due to the strong implication that Loxo didn't notice the massive pit of screaming souls right in front of her until it was pointed out. Then it's implied she is going to harvest souls to gain power, something she didn't think of doing until this moment.
Is Siggy the only villain with a plan right now, even if his plan is 1) Find Karnak 2) Beat the tar out of Karnak? Is a two-step plan as complex as it gets for Team Not-Dominic?

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Heyall,
Anyone else think that one of them is going to try and push the other into the pit before partaking of the soul buffet?
...Do souls count as meat? If so, would Bulgak be unable to eat them, being a vegan Orc and all that?

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Returning from the lurk and speaking of Siggy...
I am having a heck of a time thinking of this fellow screaming KARNAK as Sig. His face is nothing like the old one, and I'm not talking about the fangs and demon eyes. He's not as long of a face nor does he have the chin he once had, he looks too much like a demonized Nimmel (rounder features, small chin, the nose is almost right though (course I'm not sure there's any differences in noses so much))... I'm not sure if this is an art change of style (Siggy looks different because Mookie's style has altered slightly so he lacks his original look) or just an art consistency fail.
Just been buggin' me.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
Lil bit. In Britland ((UK) colleges we at least look at Chaucer and Beowulf even though we don't actually study the latter; and only glance at Chaucer. It depends on the course though.
I think at uni the maiority of English degrees involve looking at OE poetry in translation if nothing else.
Then I highly recommend this site. It's an online version of one of the Extremely Recommended books for English at my university. And if you can, try and get A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary ed. J. R. Clark-Hall. You can get a copy dirt-cheap on Amazon. Mine was about £6 second-hand. It's invaluable.
Northvegr has "The Complete Corpus of Old English Poetry" on the page I linked directly to, but there's also some stuff under the Histories section, and of course, there's a lot of ON stuff on the site too. And Boethius, Bede, Tacitus and a few more things.
The link to the Sacred Texts site is very good as well.
And, for gits and shiggles: What If Star Wars was an Icelandic Saga? Yep. The entire thing. In ON/OIcelandic. Best thing about that site is that it posts the Tattuinardoela Saga in English and ON/OIcelandic.
Have fun.Last edited by CurlyKitGirl; 2010-10-06 at 07:52 AM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
I like to believe that shortly before his retcon/death, Siggy and Warlord Mustache went into hiding, replacing themselves with imperfect duplicates. This is why the Warlord Mustache we saw got killed: the real Warlord Mustache, of course, could beat up Death. Using his mustache.
They plan to secretely strike against The Dominus FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
They may have also hooked up with Hansi and are travelling the world in the cronecave looking for the Dwarf of lore to add to their anti-Dominus team, hence Dominic's repeated smear tactics against all of them.
Doesn't that sound like a nice story?Last edited by Deme; 2010-10-06 at 11:04 AM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XXVII: God Has Nothing to do With This
I also have the Clark-Hall dictionary. It's a good dictionary, with the minor disappointment of its normalisation of eth and thorn.
I think the extent of the OE poetry we look at in translation here is Beowulf (which we read the first two parts of in high school, read the full poem in university) and Caedmon's Hymn (university). We read Caedmon's in translation, but the West Saxon was presented for sake of comparison.
The Spanish professor who got his bachelor's in Germanic Linguistics got it in Barcelona, so at least Spain looks at things like that in depth.
I did a very rudimentary translation of a Dominic Deegan strip into OE for practice once. It seemed a little amusing, at least.
I've read about Star Wars as an Icelandic saga. I liked the idea a lot.
Also, thank you very much for the links and resources. The more the better.
