I guess this is the first time one of Cuco's family tells him they actually care about him.

I think she might've been referring to the time when not-Nightmare Knight sent them into the sun, though yes they did almost die just now as well.

This chapter is awful dark. First Rosemaster's remarks about the Nightmare Knight, then him remembering the first Legendary Hero, and to top it all off a melancholy panel of our heroes looking dejected.

Last time this happened in a lighthearted magical adventure fiction, someone got decapitated the next page.

Oh well, at least now the dynamic is shifting - Almond might start holding back to get tabs on her brother, while Cucu is now somewhat outgoing now that he's found a kink in the armour.

Yeah, the joke was about Madoka Magica or whatever the gently caress the title is actually.

Gigi's pretty invested into keeping this an all-ages comic so I don't think we have much to worry about in terms of decapitation. Probably. I'm actually delighted to see this shift. It can't just be hilarious gags like King Kelp and his comically oversized bath drains. Carrot, Almond, and Cucumber being confronted with their faults and failures will make their ~magical journey~ all the more satisfying.

Nautilus, of course, can remain completely ignorant to her own failings because clearly you don't need to be competent to rule the Ripple Kingdom.

Cucu's going to end up getting her hand and half the ripple kingdom, as per tradition.

It was a rumor for a while, but Gigi confirmed somewhere on her tumblr that the dub had decided to stop for their own reasons.

About this new dub, are you guys redoing the first couple chapters, or are you picking up where the old one left off? Either way, sounds really cool!

11:13: Despite Gio Gonzalez warning, "Never mix your sparkling juices," Bryce Harper opens another bottle of sparkling grape and mixes it with sparkling cider.

1:07: Harper walks to the 7-11 and orders an all-syrup Slurpee.

1:10-3:05: Harper has no recollection of this time. Aliens?

I can't wait to see this happen. :allears: I wonder if Gigi will do a callback to when Almond was captured by Splashmaster and Peridot came by to laugh at her.
