You seriously gonna pick apart a simple observation for no reason?

Sorry. I was just saying that it didn't look like it was necessarily a mistake to me. If it helps, I wasn't doing it to annoy you. I'm an English Lit. student: I've been trained to look into things in an unreasonable level of detail and analyse them. We're also not marked down if we have things blatantly wrong so long as we can explain our 'logic' behind what we say so...Yeah.
I don't quite get what Tinder means when he says he'd know if Lloyd wasn't hugging Radic platonicly. I get that he's trying to reassure Matt, who's obviously getting a bit jealous where Radic's concerned, but is he also saying he's some sort of ultimate authority on romance? [continues to be slow]

Yeah, i know... sorry. I was just pointing it out. Didn't mean to imply it was a mistake.

He knows because dragons are... highly lustful creatures

Now that you mention it...well, V and Inky are divorced but still, it is sad Inky has forgotten V so quickly.
But at least Inky and the children are safe from the revenge of the black dragon in this comic.

Haha, is it Kyrie? Was I perhaps doing that subconsciously? Hah, I dunno; I wanted to get this up before I went to sleep and was tired. Yes, I know the two of them are flipped, but I tried having the two of them switch positions and I think it looks a bit better this way. Also...Yeah, they kinda are only minutes away from going at it right on the table, she's kinda trying to take his shirt off...Thankfully someone else is about to step in...Hopefully...
As a dragon, Tinder's got keen senses. He'd probably be able to see if, say, Lloyd's pupils dilated or something. Or he's trying to placate Matt. Your call.
And they have been punished for it. The thing was that Ethan was about to execute all of them. Lloyd came up with the fastest solution he could think of. He could have done better, but...

Again with the . They've still got all their clothes on and it's still typical foreplay...nothing shocking unless this is one of those formal, high society bars that I'm not sure exist or not.

So...some were imprisoned? A zone of truth was slapped up to find which bandits had murdered before and THOSE were executed? I didn't see any punishment. Asking them to move and taking the stuff they had acquired through banditry doesn't count.
I hope you don't get the impression I don't like the comic. I do, but as has been stated before...you need to show those things that you know and are assuming the reader will infer.
Maybe YOU need to release a compilation with the author commentary and the bonus comics and the background info and the nice laaaady!
Suggestions for bonus material: A world map, geographic facts (which cities produce what and whom they trade with), details on the planes, background on each of the deities and their religions, with excerpts from their holy texts.

Look at the elf's waist. Her pants are coming off.
Look at the elf's hair. It's being messed up.
They're on top of a table.

That elf looks like a man-type to me. Are you just constantly wanting to see lady-types making-out? You pervert.
And feeling someone up, messing their hair, wallowing on top of a table...that's all perfectly normal makeout behavior. You don't have to be standing up for it, you know.

Taking their clothes off is not.

Um, guys? You can stop arguing about it now. It's been clarified by the author herself.

Actually, it is...to do some proper groping and up-feeling, it's often necessary to lift or pull clothes to get your hand in there.

Even still again, even - normal back-of-a-bar stuff...a nice detail in the background that really adds some color to the scene, like a jukebox or a centerpiece or the archetypal shifty-looking-guy-with-a-trenchcoat-full-of-(hopefully)-merchandise. Serrin's maybe the only one young enough to be shocked by that sort of thing, and if she's walked in on her parents, she should have an immunity to the sleaze damage that would inflict.

I'm not one for drinking, but if someone named their place "The Plot Hook", I might actually stop in (probably hoping the bartender would point me to an adventure).
Anyway, this was a rather sweet moment. Nice to see that they've bonded as a group, though they're probably still a long way from becoming a Nakama.
Finally, man, those elves move fast. No more for them.

I'm sure it would have had an impact if there was any build up, but like I said in my comment, I didn't even think it was an issue. Lloyd's whole personality is based on atonement and guilt about what he did. All the characters know this. There never was any threat of them breaking up until the first panel of this strip. Even then, it was all in Lloyd's head. All the tension was dissipated in the next few panels.
It's still a nice way to shift the view and let us know that we're back to Team Gale and not in Kago anymore.

Re: Murphy's Law 6: Will we ever stop burning through threads so quickly?
I didn't notice the background action until the last panel. XD
I noticed something else, though. Serrin is excited about booze. This isn't the Elven Lands, so the booze won't be properly watered-down or anything. And I have a feeling she may want to drink something besides Elven Wine. Sooooooo...
The Elf in the background was just drinking basic ale, and that led to a friggin' drunk make-out session.

Especially not if they know you don't like being touched.
Also, there are quite a few people who have problems with sex before marriage. Most of my family is in fact. That hasn't stopped some people but whatever.

Do we know it was just basic ale? The Elixir of Love is an honest-to-alignment wondrous item, after all, and not even that expensive... However, yes, this shapes up to become quite... interesting is the word, I guess.
Concerning the make-out session (You know, I wonder if this has anything to do with the "Kiss-and-make-up/out"-banter in the last thread... ) itself, however... Nice. Seriously. It's just so randomly there and gets all intense in the panel Tinder goes "it's platonic". And all the time you sort of expect someone to notice. And when someone finally visibly does... it's some random shmoe in the background. That right there? Visual side-gags done oh-so-completely right.

Species with arcanic talent in the blood (Elves and gnomes, though gnomes don't live on this continent) tend to have funky hair colors.

They were probably going to do it anyway, but...
