It Is Good To Be A King
My apologies that previous comments and activities were lost while I fumbled around trying to get this new version of the page posted. I have also excised the dialogue in the last panel entirely from the version in the ESCa. I hope that this, combined with the next page, will put to rest any confusion.
Huh, the previous comments seem to be deleted. Was that because a new image was uploaded? By which I’m referring to the last speech bubble, of course. It’s now much clearer that the word “Daddy” is being said OUTSIDE OF the flashback.
WAHOO! First comment!! Now just what to say…………………
well, good colour, great text, subtlety is up to par, innuendo’s are speaking loud and clear, transition is smooth……..oh yeah!
that’ll do chemiclord, that’ll do 🙂
(and if no one gets THAT reference, then you have missed out on one of the BEST movies of all time!!)
The “clarification” was Dan’s work, rather than mine.
Oh God, it’s Mass Effect 3 all over again!
I think he’s coming back out of his flash back to his daughter and Tiff X3 this the faded ‘Daddy?’
I really am irritated that the previous comments were lost, but I am very relieved that this version is much clearer about what is happening. I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding; some material will NEVER appear on a website I am in control of.
Personally? I was just assuming she was playing at daddy’s girl or something. DX (I can accept it just being outside of the flash back, though. ^^ )
I’ll just repeat my comments. No biggie. ^^
King Machiavelli must be amazing between the sheets for the leader of a band of assassins to accept a tumble in lieu of, say, a million pieces of gold to betray the identity of a paying customer. Then again, Amalia probably knows Urthica well enough not to cross him, and this might be a symbolic transfer. Or might she be planning to conceive a child with him, to use as leverage? It’d be a bit embarrassing to Peonie if she ever found out she has a half-sibling running around, killing people for money — or being groomed to become the heir that she does not want to be, perhaps?
In any case, Amalia’s facial expression is very evil, in my opinion. Don’t just look at her nicely rounded rump, or you’ll be a chump!
This version is a lot less creepy.
I didn’t think it was confusing in the slightest before, some people just like seeing perversity is all. To me it was obvious that ask Urtica drifted off-topic in his flashback that Peonie was starting on a “ewwww Daddy I do not want to imagine your sex life” rant again. Somedays Peonie acts like a spoilt 15 year old, most days she is nowhere near that mature though.
I also gathered that the last speech bubble was a transition out of the flashback, into present time, where he’s talking with Peonie. However, that last panel with his ‘hurr, hurr’ look is just so… lecherous… that I can understand the confusion. Best to clarify. It is too bad the comments were lost, but then, the comments are not why we come here.
They aren’t, right?
Also, Gallstone, I don’t think the sexytimes is _all_ the payment. It’s just a traditional part of the transaction, like serving tea or exchanging bribes. They’ve clearly done this before, and know each other well.
Heh.. when I saw the original “Daddy?”, I thought she was referring to being/becoming pregnant by the king… (Bastard children aren’t/weren’t uncommon for real world royalty either, and Peonie seems to be Most Wanted Sacrifice as far as any bad guy/gall is concerned… wouldn’t hurt to have a backup plan…)
The new fade-out balloon makes it much clearer though.
Urtica has such a goofy face in last panel. He’s clearly geeking out.
Dan: “…[S]ome material will NEVER appear on a website I am in control of.”
Hopefully the list includes:
Endorsements of Republican presidential candidates.
Anorectics porn.
Peonie getting breast-reduction surgery.
Tiffany becoming a Stepford Wife.
The Doomsayer saying “Don’t worry, everything will turn out fine.”
A clearly dead and severely decomposed Miri.
1) A political party is like a penis. It’s fine to have one. It’s even fine to be proud of it. It’s not fine to whip it out and show it off to everyone; nor is it okay to shove it down a person’s throat.
2) I make no promises.
3) I would probably be drug out into the street by angry fans and shot.
4) I would probably be drug out into the street by angry fans and shot.
5) I make no promises.
6) Eww… and I make no promises.
(ducks)
Just for clarification…
That comment obviously means “GrimGhost, I will not put my political penis down people’s throats on this website.” Would it be safe to simultaneously interpret it as “GrimGhost, I would appreciate you not putting your political penis down people’s throats on this website.”?
@deantay
I don’t think it’s traditional, just what they do personally.
is it just me or did her butt get bigger and her boobs get smaller?????
“It’s good to be the king.” XD
When did Tiffany learn to read?
@Krey:/b> Denver taught her while they were out adventuring.
Same image twice on one page… again… for some reason.
All my respect,
LOST.
GONE!
