June 27th: "When things go downhill"

"if i used all my cunning and skills" .... um not to sound blunt but i wansnt of the opinion that quentyn had much in the way of stealth training

Can you say foreboding? ... i'm starting to get that "ohh i know im going to hate what comes next >.< but i cant stop watching" feeling.
I hope Quent doesnt get into too much trouble.

On, the flip side ... i didnt realise they had gnome repellant it looks like a urinal cake

[Astral]

Odd.. I'm still getting Satadays one?

[Astral]

Ah there we go ^^

...yesss cunning isn't a word I'd associate with 'Quintyn'.

[SolidusRaccoon]

I have the ultimate stealth device, one that will pass any security device. the cardboard box.

[Astral]

Behold the box! *audiance gasps* DUM-DUM-DAAAAAAA!

[Mwalimu]

Now that the brownies have narrowed the search area, wouldn't that make it feasable for Quentyn to wander the search area, trying to feel for the sword through the bond? Or does the Royal's "Safe Case" and keeping the sword drained render that approach ineffective? Or perhaps the problem is the third dimension factor (it's in an upper floor, so Quentyn would have to be closer at ground level, maybe even above ground, to be close enough to feel it)?

[Richter B.]

Well at least we know that he has boogiegaurd squidge with him....
......You ever have that sinking feeling, you know like the ships going down and yer five minutes to late?

[Jwrebholz]

Personally (and this sounds mean) I hope he gets in just a little over his head. Makes for a much more entertaining comic that way, when you think he might have gotten himself into something he might not be able to get out of (like when he stumbled upon Rosad's lab--for a while I really thought he wasn't gonna get out of there on his own)

According to one of the "Author's Notes" below a strip in my Nip and Tuck book (go buy yours today!), Ralph has this to say on writing:

The secret of great story-telling is to take a character, run him up a tree, and then throw rocks at him. It helps if you don't particularly like the character.

We all know he likes Quentyn about as much as us, so trust me folks: this is gonna hurt Ralph more than it hurts us.

But not more than it hurts Quentyn. Anyone got any aspirin?

[Mwalimu]

In the third panel, are the words "pressed little pressed loaves" a typo?

[Kerry Skydancer]

Poor guy's definitely out of his element. He's a country boy, and these are city rats. Even if no one -recognizes- him, he's gonna stand out like a canary in a coal mine.

Well, maybe he'll have a chance to join up, or something. Let's see where it goes.

[BlasTech]

im worried he might be recognised by those three he got heckled by in these strips.

I think getting recognised as a "wizard's friend" might be akin to getting your cover blown as an undercover cop

No wonder the gnomes are repulsed by them. You can't put candles in them and they smell and taste terrible.

I once had a great idea for a urinal cake newspaper, you get a new "page" as each layer disolves.

Considering some of the papers I've read, they are already being used for that purpose.

Heh good point. I came up with the idea when I was working as summer help, cleaning and painting bathrooms. Even wrote a poem dedicated to the urinal cake. The fumes really got to me.

Here's a tip. Paint a fly on the inside of the urinal. It saves a lot of time cleaning the floor and gives the patrons something to do.

Moved up from that position, but will keep it in mind.
