Maybe when the new strip does come out, it'll finally answer the Crystal question.

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

:sigh: Poor Durkon. Getting short-changed by destiny and in screentime. Here's hoping the next arc is HIS turn to have a long chain of badass moments.

There was nothing special about it, one of the creators confirmed they were just random numbers. Stop PBFing this.

Fibonnaci sequence adds the current and previous numbers to get the next number; it's 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. So that isn't even part of it.

Heh, oops. I thought I knew how to add. I think I was excited because I thought that if 11 was the correct number then it would be circular (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 11 -> 1, 1, ...) Anyway, I'm stupid. I, I never knew...

Let's do the space-time warp again!

This strip actually bums me out a little, because I realized that when/if Roy and Celia die, they won't get to be together in the afterlife. Roy will go to his LG heaven, and Celia will just merge back into her elemental plane.

she could just spend all her time on the mountain with him right? And even if she couldn't/doesn't I doubt Roy will be torn up about it for long. I mean, he's always got the Tavern of Infinite One Night Stands.

Nah, if there's anything fantasy writers agree on, it's that dying of old age is way loving better than eternal life.

Unless you're an extraplanar being who lives in a realm perfectly suited to you. (Or rather, you're perfectly suited to it)

EDIT: And you can visit anyone you care for in the afterlife as a minor action.

Celia has yet to be impressed by anything humans get. They get crappy senses, they're not all sorcerers, they have to walk--let's wait until she says, "Oooh, you guys get a bile duct? That's so cool! We have to drink some bile once a week to supply our body's needs," before the idea of racial transformation is raised.

There's at least one thing about human anatomy that Celia appears to be impressed by.

The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels and God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.

Yeah, the eternals are so goddamned pleased with their lives. Hardly an issue goes by without Delight making some wry crack about how lovely it is living forever, or Dream pausing to revel in the wonder and beauty of the lands he commands.

I think he is referring to Hob Gadling. Immortality in Sandman was great for some guys, and horrible for others. Really, their life was the same as it was before they were immortal, for better or worse. Just longer.
