On page 61 Wanda states that Ansom knows they have a Foolmancer, so they can veil units, but on page 64 Sizemore says you need a Lookmancer in the same hex as the units to be veiled.

Page 46 (update 51) panel 6, Parson says "kills". He should not be able to, using "croaks" instead, unless I'm mistaken.

To coin a phrase, I don't see the concern.

As far as we know, the only words he can't utter in Erfworld are profanities. It's been established that he can utter the English pronunciations of words that are a bit different in Language (e.g. he can say "dragon" rather than "dwagon"); saying "kills" instead of "croaks" would seem to fall into that category.

ARGH That one is major. You are correct, you need a Foolamancer in the stack. *sigh* Thanks.

Why did the Archon say contravention in panel 2 page 71? shouldn't it be contradiction?

Contravention of orders means pretty much what Jillian is doing (again).

it doesn't have to be major unless Ansom knows about their table setup...if he doesn't know that they need to keep the eyemancers together and in the castle for their trick to work, then he can just as easily think that they sent their foolamancer to the front to veil their units...or that they acquired another foolamancer just for that purpose...

Now...if they know about their intel, and they know for a fact how many casters Stanley has cause i ti public knowledge...then it is indeed an oops.

No it's not a story boop-up, it's just a lettering boop-up. But people may get confused. "He knows we have a Foolamancer" is correct.

Not true! Vice - a naughty habit OR a tool for clamping stuff between two merciless plates.

Normally I'm with you on the mess of a language that is American-English. In this case however...

Vice and Vise are both French root words that were in use in middle english. Prior to the modern day the words were used in exactly the way they are used now in America and Canada. For whatever reason the English decided to just use Vice interchangably despite the fact that the root is a different word then the French version. Now then, we're all sorted.

Nah, I like the mancy's. It adds flavor to the world IMO. Its cute, and I think I'd be upset if a new magic came up that was labeled as something besides a mancy.

Page 67, last two panels. Shouldn't the dwagon in the background move forward or at least flap his wings?

Page 66, panel 7.

"If she's on our side, make her switch her alliance right now, and join up with our wounded stacks!"

Shouldn't "alliance" (an agreement between nations/tribes/etc) be "allegiance" (individual loyalty or devotion to a nation/tribe/etc)?

It drifts slightly upward and turns its head a fraction. Look closer.

The Paradigm archon has a flesh-colored area between her legs which should probably be sky-colored.

That looks like the "glow" effect to me.

The glow effect on the sky is shown pretty clearly between the Paradigm Archon's arms as a lighter blue color. The space / area / sky between her legs seems to be the same brownish color as her skin. I'm still thinking that is supposed to be sky between her left ankle and right thigh, and that it is mis-colored as the flesh tone of her legs.

I'd guess she shaves.

But seriously, that is her left thigh. If you're still not sure, ask your girlfriend to pose in this attitude. When she asks why, just tell her you wanted to compare her to a picture you saw on the internet.

If that's her thigh, her left leg is 50% longer than her right, and she has an extra joint half way between her knee and her hip.

Ahm ... you see her as if you were lying down in front of her, looking up at her. So it is indeed her thigh.

Minor Typographical/Grammar thing...

Page 70, Panel 6.

May be correct as written, but shouldn't there be either a comma or an ellipsis (...) between "Okay" and "merge" in Parson's speech bubbles?

Re: Paradigm Archon:
Look at the next panel, and how her legs are in that. It seems fairly obvious to me that it is correct as drawn.

Let's agree that I'm just mercilessly beating a dead horse here.

Regarding the Paradigm Archon, behold my attempt to save a thousand words:



Her left thigh should exist between her left hip and her left knee. If the red line is her left thigh's likely location, then the flesh-colored area between her left anke and right thigh should be sky.

This image is cropped from a panel of an Erfworld comic, written by Rob Balder and illustrated by Jamie Noguchi. The ugly red line marring an otherwise well crafted picture was added for editorial comment.

Wesley, the archon is a normal-sized girl. Her thigh is more than a little wider than her lower leg. It is not concealed in this position. You can see it on both sides of the lower leg.

I agree with Wesley here. Where would the thigh be connected to the shin if the flesh-colored area were really the thigh? It doesnt make sense as the hideous illustration shows.
