I was going to say something about how we'll eventually meet Durkan's dad and he'll be a thousand years old and totally rad but now all I can think about is who your alt account is.

Perhaps because it would explicitly negate the moral Haley is trying to teach her dad, I'm wondering if he always gets caught because Uncle Geoff is a traitor...

I think I remember reading (maybe in that letter he writes home) something that implied Durkon's dad was dead. There sure are a lot of father issues in this comic.

He claims Geoff and Ivy asked him to come to that continent. Bozzok said he got two of his accomplices to convince Ian to leave Greysky. Coupled with Ian's claim that you can trust family absolutely, seems plausible to me.

I wonder what Geoff was supposed to be getting out of the deal, then, considering he's been locked up for presumably as long as Ian has.

It's Kcajyvan. I use him to post in LF mostly.

That post was supposed to be "Oh, hey, ALSO...", not "Yes, quite right, and..." but I can see how somebody might get the wrong idea.

does that orange speech bubble mean she is using the glibness potion? If so why's she lying to ethan in the last panel?

Could just mean she has the effect, but it only helps when she lies. It is kinda ambiguous, but having the text color change in the last panel would lead people to think that the potion wore off.

Her balloons are colored because the potion is affecting her. When she was explaining its effects earlier her text was colored, not just when she was lying.

I thought that too, but I figured if Burlew wanted to show that the elf would have his/her head tilted down. Of course that's me scrutinising the art in a stick figure comic so who knows.

You forget that an elf looked at V in the same manner in an earlier strip. It's likely it's at V.

Besides, the elf is already seen seated next to the cat in panel two, not minding the animal. It's only when V shows up that he seems disapproving.

It may be just me, but the Elven Ambassador is so indistinguishable (except for the cut hair) from V's mate that I think it is his/her mate despite that V's mate is already established as a baker.

They're both elves and both have (different shades and lengths of) green hair? It's a stick figure comic, everyone looks alike. I'm sure V would have recognized him/her.

Anger and a similar hair color--the ambassador might be V's mate's parent or sibling or something, which would explain both the distaste and the fact that V didn't want to talk about it.

It's clearly ridiculous anyway. Previous comics have shown us that parents have the exact same hair as their parents. Remember the great Hayley Hair debate of '11?

Talking about Haley's other has reminded me of something:

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0309.html
In this comic, Haley is telling all her secrets to Elan in an effort to break her curse:

Panel 3: Elan, I'm in love with you.
Panel 5: Elan, I'm in love with you. Completely in love. Love, love, love, love!
Panel 7: My dad is being held ransom by an evil dictator. I'm not really in the Thieves' Guild anymore.
Panel 9: I cheat at solitaire. I have a tattoo you've never seen. I kissed a girl once. OK, OK, more than once!
Panel 11: Elan, it turns out I may not be exactly what you would call--

Now I always assumed she was going to say she's not exactly human, implying her mother was something else. But looking now, it seems her mum and dad are both 100% human. Now I'm at a loss as to what it is.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I dunno, her not exactly being good doesn't seem such a big secret when they think she's part of a thieve's guild. Especially since they travel with people who are clearly evil and Neutral. It just seems to pale in comparison to her other secrets.
