“How about I say a name that sounds exactly like the one I just said and triggered no memories on your part ? ; )
(yes I know he would have accentuated the pause between typhan and knee but still how many of the people living in the palace are targeted for assassination that she would not link the two ?)
I am also a little… intrigued by the movements. She gets up, he gets up, go around the table, embraces her, says four words and then goes back and sit down at his place ?
It’s been a while, but waaay back when this comic started, it was made clear that to southerners, much as in our world, the name ‘Tiffany’ evoked a sexy, spoiled diva who teases expensive gifts out of the men in her life. One doesn’t arrange an intimate candlelight dinner, and wear a sexy dress, and make insinuations about post-dinner pleasures, just to have your partner ask for help with some… floozy he’s shacking up with. To me, the image in panel 5 looks angry, and more than a little jealous.
It may be Typhan-Knee is pronounced slightly differnt. I say it like TY-FAN-Knee. Maybe Tiff was easier to say or at least more girl.
It also could be that while the order for her death was bought and given, she did not know she was a palace knight. Seeing how she suposed to be a male southern barbarian.
@GrimGhost – haha, I totally have the picture in my head of an old-school PRESS reporter shoving a microphone at me!
I never felt like the panels were out of order. I interpreted things as such that he had returned to his seat, while she remained standing thinking about the answer – or maybe “how” to answer if she was holding information back. I never questioned things as being out of order, simply that some action wasn’t shown.
Dan, I’m the one who questioned the frame order elsewhere that TJ referred to.
Amalia has struck me so far as being very poised, not unlike the King himself.
In frame one, she’s seated, but her wide eyes seem at odds with her fairly calm words.
In frame two, she’s on her feet in a moment of high emotion, again at odds with what appears to be a calm request from the King.
In three, the King himself is standing, arm around Amalia’s waist. But from whence does this intimacy arise? Why did he need to back up this straightforward request?
In four, the King is again seated. Nothing particularly at odds with the dialog, this time, but try speaking the lines and going through the actions. The timing is wrong. Sit, stand, embrace, sit…no. There’s a strong disconnect between dialog and action. I don’t think these lines are just out of order, I think they’re for the wrong strip.
There are strips where I wouldn’t notice this sort of thing, because the art is either static or very rough. Stands out here, though; I can’t recall any other instance of this sort.
Overall, this is a fairly minor thing, limited to this one strip. Story’s good, dialog is credible, art’s lovely. Just…something’s wrong today. There’s a glitch that might be worth checking out.
I admit to some curiosity as to the dialog that will match this sequence.
For what it’s worth – it seems like in panel 1 things are off to a rocky start – she seems a bit surprised that he brought it up so fast that one of her assassins decided to take a mark on Tiff. Not that he’s said any names at that point, it sort of sets the tone for her responses through the comic o.o
guys typhany and typhan-knee are pronounced diffrent its would be said tiffany like the jewlery store and typhon-knee like typhoon but without the long o and knee like the part of your body
Be a Producer!Your name/title with an optional SFW hyperlink will be posted prominently HERE following the close of the month! You’ll also receive monthly mailings from Exiern’s author, Scott T. Hicken!
hehe, he watching her for a reaction
It was said somewhere else to me, but the pictures in the frames are out of order, or in a odd sense of order.

King is NOT amused by your feigned stupidity.
Indeed, that will be … interesting.
I hawever ahve toa gree the standing up, walking, sitting again part does make this strip look either like snapshots or entirely out of order.

Knight is misspelt in the King’s first speech bubble. ;P
Ah, buggernuts. I’ll fix it when next I get the chance…thanks for the notice.
Dan, what about the rumor that the panels for this page are out of order? Well, are they?
Mother says you will to be punished.
poor poor Daron

@Jer
I would assume that Tiffany and Typhan-Knee are pronounced differently.
Anyway, this seems to be to be tied to Typhan-Knee’s Barbarian days. i was wondering if we would even learn of his/her past.

Aha so she was just jelly of her mans new flame and sent her son to off her. nice .
For what its worth; Amalia is not the slightest bit intimidated or jealous of ANY woman.
She doesn’t need to be.
I dont know but she is making the same kind of face my mother did , when she kicked my future wife out of her job.
Hmn…Is Chibiern going to be collected somewhere? it seems to update on all Exiern pages with no “Previous/Next” controls…
