All this thumb-twiddling is boring, so I hope that this being page 420 will instead result in a bunch of weed posts, as they are moderately more entertaining.

I wonder if black glass is smoked. Its known to be very valuable as a drug, but the method of intake was never specified.

Royalty doesn't need good punching form. Royalty puts the fist, in whatever configuration it happens to be in, exactly where it needs to be. Especially if that place is the face of someone standing in the way of said Royalty.

You do realize that actually being nice to the guy who puts in long hours making free stuff we love is more likely to convince him to put this minor art error on his 'to fix' list, rather than telling him to stop feeling hurt that a pretty complicated page is being defined by some hand typos?

Dude's human and he clearly puts a lot of himself into this. Him tweeting for sympathy doesn't hurt any of us, and makes it pretty clear the thumb-razzing went further than is actually useful in pointing out the issue.

We already had some of Mottom's guildmasters with necklaces of thumbs, actually, so it would be more of a reprise than a cameo.

As someone who has been hurt in a similar manner, lashing out at it only makes it worse.



You're right though, I will make one major correction. Sometimes it is hard not to make a scene on the internet, dude. But you still shouldn't do it. Just walk away from the feedback for a day or two and come back so you can say "this was all some grade A Stupid poo poo that blew over in a day or two, glad I missed it".

I could be completely wrong because I'm bad at reading tone on the internet but I'm pretty sure that nobody itt is actually irl angry about this and they're just making some mild jokes about a minor mistake.

Maybe twitter is a different story.

It was a very prettily drawn thumb and ignorance of the proper methods to hurt other people is a virtue.

nobody needs to be irl angry, it's still annoying as poo poo

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
It's a tiny mistake. Why keep making jokes about it when Operant spends a ton of time and effort on the quality of this comic and is obviously not happy about those jokes? How valuable is a cheap laugh compared to maintaining the good relationship between a good creator and his audience?

EDIT: On rereading it, this post feels vaguely hostile, so I'm gonna clarify that I'm not directing it at anyone ITT. Just a general statement.

This is the problem with pretty much all internet feedback imo. That nasa dude with the bad shirt sticks out in my memory, because he definitely needed to be told his shirt was awful and that it was a dumb thing to wear in public, but he didn't deserve to be told a million loving times by hordes of complete strangers.


Anyhow in the spirit of the page I hope the comic ends with Allison rolling up the somewhat wheel shaped universe like a big fat doobie and smoking the poo poo out of it
