You know how I know Anders has me on ignore? :)

I love this strip for ones just like this last one.

Not if he had accepted that ring of regeneration he wouldn’t :)

4 minute delta, could have been coincidence.

What’s going on in that second to the last panel? Is that the dragon empress at the top? What’s up with the jagged lightning-like lines coming out of her belly?

It’s her weight cracking the stone throne.

Yes, that’s the Empress of Blood. The lines show the throne cracking under her weight.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.

That was a truly fantastic set. Great job - OOTS is sometimes a little better than other times, and this was quite a peak :)

How is it possible to continue piling on the awesome in this way.

Same way you get to Carnegie Hall: Practice, man. Practice.

I think it’s something to do with the long time he’s meandered about setting up the plot. You know, the slowness and tangents that people often complain about. ;-)

It’s only slow if you constantly check for updates. If you read the books or catch up every few months, his pacing is usually superb despite the tangents. Rich is giving us an epic fantasy novel in cartoon form, one page at a time.

With stick figures!

Yes, exactly.

Ahhh - there’s cake. Can I have some?

Nice. I like the line about ‘Tier Envy’.

Offstage cake is as bad as no cake. How about some pie instead?

Did someone say CAKE?

“Why not ask your parishioner? She’s…”

Hilgya, anyone?
