A big failure, hmm? -"What do we do now?" *"Chippendales?" -"Chippendales!" Useless trivia: There is such a thing as a chippendale (a piece of furniture, if memory serves). mwalimu's twist: Sometime after I started reading this strip, I started wondering if there's also such a thing as a nippentuck.

You can dress it up any way you like, but it's still sex as a weapon and a means to keep hubby under "control". Even though having sex may have had the effect of softening up Ben, it does not necessarily follow that Lily planned it that way. But she'll probably remember that in the future. Whether ...

Some of us may not agree with RHJ on the questions of origins. Some of us who don't may be tempted to try to counterpoint his last two posts before locking the thread. But I think most of us agree by now this topic is one that can easily get out of control. And none of this changes my opinion that R...

And in no way am I calling God a liar. ...But I'll point out that there's no evidence God actually wrote the Book of Genesis, which makes everything in it conjecture.

I've played ADOM. I think the author disappointed a few fans when he changed his mind about releasing the source for the game, but it is very good nonetheless. The roguelike game I always come back to is Nethack (the catchphrase from some who have tried it is "they thought of everything"). Angband a...

Bullseye

A question for Ralph...

Now that Under the Lemon Tree has become Goblin Hollow and Ben and Lily are making a livelihood of their unusual inheritance, will we ever see any more of the old cast members from the Bullseye, especially Fred, Rico and Merry?

The young fellow with the book has lux-sight (the ability to see lux, much like being able to see in infrared) turned up to eleven. By any chance, is this young fellow a fan of Spinal Tap? :P Although Nessie can sense the environment at massive distances, it would take more control than she possess...

What about the Frog-mage and Master Rillcreek? I was thinking the others on the team would probably be closer to Quentyn's age, although you can't rule out the possibility of it including someone much older. I was also thinking in terms of a crew that would be actively involved in his questing, eve...

The Questor and his gang

One possible development I've wondered about happening at some point in the future of the strip is Quentyn acquiring a support team who assist the Questor using whatever talent they possess. Whether it ever happens or not, it's fun to think about who might be included in it. Should this ever come ab...

That, of course, raises the question of whether a tulpa can live on when the fur whose personality it is a part of dies.

An observation - Velvet blew his cover by "poiting" out, but if he hadn't, could he have passed for a normal child? In other words, could a tulpa pass for a normal fur if they avoid certain behaviors? Maybe one reason Ben chose the atmosphere for the place was so that the occasional faux pas by one ...

The reason Quentyn had to stay there was because of the possiblity (was it ever confirmed?) that the sword had been bonded to him such that they could not be separated by much (distance, time, or both). If Quentyn left, he'd have to take the sword with him so the Artificer's Guild wouldn't be able t...

Very sheepish subject line.

Don't Ben and Lily also live in this house? If so, I wonder if the kids will discover anything they're not supposed to. Or if any of the tulpas have any surprises laying in wait.
