Comic Genesis Forums

Whoah, just want to say, that's one of the best comics I have seen yet, can't wait to see what happens next!

What a pretty kitty.

Squidge is stronger than the average bogey.

Incredible BOO-kitty, Ralph!

Even a "spirit rat" should run-run away from THAT, if only for a little while.

Sabertoothed Maine Coon Cat?

ANOTHER excellent example that Quentyn can think fast under extreme stress.....how many of us would have though of this under the same circumstances? I don't think I would have.

And Zorro's got it......nice sabre-tooth Maine Coon Kitty.

Color me impressed. If ol' Squidge had tried that instead of making absurdly impossible creatures with unusable fangs and claws, he might have had more luck scaring kits.

It ought to at least startle the wraiths long enough for Quentyn to get the candle relit. And Squidge now has a -real- claim to a share of the glory.

Good evening.


The reason why we wouldn't have thought of that is because we haven't seen dogs or cats or any other pets (except Oggie), and that echidna in the farm, also that big walking giant thing, before in this strip.

So they have normal dogs and cats in the Seven Villages?

Walking thing.. neanderthal ent or tree golem?

There call tree apes I think, and they are pretty close to your description of 'Neanderthal Ent' actually.

Here kitty kitty kitty ^^

Whoa, now that's a cat.

Heh heh heh, scare them out of clean pants fer sure.

Not sure if they even had flint starters like that in the Middle ages...

Then again, we didn't have Airships either, so...

Good evening.


Maybe not the "cigarrete lighter" type that Quentyn has (and a similar model on "The Flintstones"), but flint was used in Europe for quite a while, wasn't it?

Oh, plenty, Flint, steel and Tinder are the best way to spark a fire, but what it looks like he has is one of those sparkers used on blow torches.

Hey I live near Bradford PA, I can get him a custom Zippo made.

The flint-on-steel method has been used to start fires since the time of the Roman empire.

I'm not really sure if Squidge is really going to scare the "rats" with his trick: (1.) One of the first things they did was drive off the brownies. (2.) They weren't scared of Colin, who not only hunted their forebearers, but was bigger than them.

Good points, but Colin, at least, wasn't scary... dangerous yes, but dangerous can include stealth, stealth means NOT scaring your prey (because they don't even know you are there) Squidge OTOH can be scary, the fact that he is utterly incapable of backing up the threats he presents are perhaps (assuming the wights are unintellegent enough not to make the connection and think Squidge's current form to be an illusion or know how Bogies work or whatever.)

Well, the wights <i>did</i> see Squidge perform his trick. Of course, making yourself look bigger or like a predator is a common tactic for intimidating someone that you don't want to hurt you.
