A Cucumber Quest bat would totally be a fruit bat, but she could be drinking cranberry juice so I support this theory.

But then what happened to Cranberry? :ohdear:

Cordelia's fang in that last panel sure lends credence to the bat theory.

The entry on ear types in the physical book reads "If they've got cat ears or something, like Cordeila, they probalby aren't from Dreamside." (in red text rather than bold)

Cats also have fangs. I think she's a cat.

Oh so there's something in the book about that? Then why are people in here trying to guess what she is/where she is from?

This page really highlights how much her art has improved since the prologue chapter. Just compare the backgrounds and colors for Cabbage's cell there to her most recent page.

I love how he apparently left his cell, stole a bookcase, chair, desk and lamp and carried them all back to the cell.

Cabbage is the best character is what I'm getting at here. :allears:

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
There is no way Cabbage isn't going to be plot relevant in a huge way. Calling it now, the way to defeat the Nightmare Knight is by getting PAID.

The Hero's father or girlfriend needs to be imprisoned. And since Cuco doesn't have a girlfriend they just took Cabbage.

And by took I mean Cabbage invoked that hero business when Cordelia took over and he just kind of moved into the dungeon.

Oh man. I laughed for a good minute or so at that last panel. If I hadn't just been graced by the avatar fairy from another thread I would instabuy that face.

How do you know he's not already? :colbert: Door's totally unlocked and he's getting food from somewhere. I like to imagine she sneaks in all stealthily and covert-y as she can all serious business "OH MY POOR HUSBAND, KIDNAPPED BY EVIL-DOERS, AND THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS BRING HIM FOOD SO HE DOESN'T STARVE IN HIS HORRIBLE CONDITIONS" and he just goes right along with it, rushing around to hide his books and cushy lounge chair.

I get the feeling he knows exactly how it should be pronounced and just doesn't want to miss a chance to make someone profoundly unhappy (since, y'know, allies won't be smote until after all the heroes and such are taken care of).

What, you can't read IPA? :smug:

He's pronouncing the "dot" in her name as in "dotted line", not Peri-d'oh. It's mentioned either earlier in the comic or on her bio page that she HATES when people do that.

Pretty sure it's just a dramatic zoom-in. If it were another form of media like a TV show instead of a comic, it'd for sure be in slow motion for emphasis.

Getting the joke in the last panel has given me another reason to be happy to be working towards an MA in TESOL. I wouldn't know how to read IPA if it weren't for that.


Anyway, I've recently ordered the mini print set. I've been wanting to do a bit of redecorating around my apartment, and thought that these prints would be a cute addition. I've noticed that Gigi describes the prints as being "postcard-sized." For those of you who have these prints, is she referring to 4"x6" postcards or other dimensions? I want to frame these prints.
