Nyaeve, as someone who'd been trained from birth to be an aide to a God-Queen, actually makes good money and is the only reason why they can really afford food and utilities. She's worked in fields from airship repair to tutoring the local scions of minor nobility.

Nyaeve is basically the only person on the team who knows how to do anything besides lift and punch dudes

e. well i guess Cio can cook food and accounting books

Agreed. You get the impression without Nyaeve and Cio selflessly doing logistics roles things wouldn't be going nearly as well.

What's the deal with nipples and this comic? I even saw Abbadon tweet about it but I don't remember seeing any in the comic.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Abbadon's art has improved by leaps and bounds over where he started, but he still occasionally has some weird anatomy. Like Solomon David in the initially posted version of the bottom left panel in this page had nips that were literally closer to his scapulae than where they should be.

e: Wait, it was the one before that page:

The artjoke dogpile really got abaddon down last time he was here, I think it was the sheer number of people making nipple and thumb jokes that ground him down.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Yea, like everything else we handle goons couldn't avoid rambling about it for ages and making a huge deal out of a minor slip in a comic with remarkable and impressive art, and it ended up being a real frustration to Abaddon. So you know, quit being a dick about it if you like the comic.

Was it goons specifically, or social media in general? Cuz it seemed more like Twitter was the problem, and we chilled out once it became clear that it was a dogpile.

Fair enough, didn't realize that'd happened. The nipple joke was meant to be about an extremely minor anatomical issue, only worth bringing up as lighthearted kidding. His art is loving fantastic conceptually and has gotten very proficient as time has gone on. Plus, I can't think of any other webcomic artist who can pull off this:

I honestly figured it had to be something like this at the time, because I didn't consider the guy who drew the Siege of Yre could make a mistake when drawing a fist. (And it wasn't even a badly drawn fist. It was a well-drawn bad fist.)

Years from now, when I'm reminiscing in the rubble about how we used to be able to read comics! on the internet?! it'll be the siege I remember, and not the fist.

Because it turns out he got hammered about it a bunch other places, and expressed as much.

I don't know why this is hard to empathize with.
