Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Thursdays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
Well unfortunately for Peonie, if you have a roommate, unless you’ve had a prior arrangement with them, you can’t complain when they turn up. I mean, where exactly did you think they were at the time?
To add to that, if you haven’t arranged in advance the universal code of a sock on the door or its equivalent in this universe, you only have yourself to blame.
Two different songs, actually – “Drunken Sailor” and “Show Me the Way to Go Home”:
show me the way to go home
i’m tired and i want to go to bed
i had a little drink about an hour ago
and it’s gone right to my head
where ever i may roam
on land or sea or foam
you will always hear me singing this song
show me the way to go home
I think there’s a fair amount of bleedthrough from alternate universes including our own, hence all these out of place references, especially in the early days including: alarm clocks, sharpies, clear allusions to sandwiches in refrigerators, Harlequin romance books, Euro Disney, Wookies, Leeroy Jenkins and so on and so on. The song at least kind of fits the scene. The mash up especially fits since the singer is drunk.
Actually now that I think about it, Typh has seen both of these people naked plenty of times before (actually rendered them naked a few of those times) so I’m not seeing what the big deal is here.
“[What Shall We Do with a/the ]Drunken Sailor[?]”
Chorus: Hoorah! And up she rises [three times, appears before each verse]
Early in the morning.
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? [three times]
Early in the morning.
Put him in the long-boat and make him bail her.
Early in the morning.
… and many, many more verses.
Well, except most of the mess was caused by Typh smashing up the room in the first place. On the other hand, is drunk and hence being logical is optional.
@mnmega – yes, this is hastily censored version of the version that had already been more artfully censored. This is the spark for the search for a new ad provider.

Yeah, Pionie had to expect Typhan-Knee would show up eventually, it’s his room too.
And is Typhan-Knee making a reference to the drunken sailor song?

The expressions on the faces are beautifully done.

Noww… lessee… which iz mi bed? Hmph, thiz’n looks comfy…
Typh’s next line should be: Sheesh! (or it’s cultural equivalent) This place is a mess! What have you two been doing in here?

@Fairportfan
And now I’m listening to Asleep. I hope you’re happy 😛
Still waiting for Tiff to barf on someone.
Also, dunno if it means anything, but I’ve been told the line is pronounced “ER-lie in the morning”.
Funny you should mention that …
I actually sang the entire “Drunken Sailor” song as a child (25-30 years ago) and if I remember the line went
“Put him in the long boat til he sobers”
After a little Google Fu it seems the lyrics changes a bit depending on who sings it.
Uhh, not to be rude, but the “underwear” looks like it was hastily added on top of the original image (unless this is the censored version)

Since we’ve switch ad providers I have uploaded a new version of this page as I originally intended to post it.
Cue staged laughter…
