His expression has stayed totally neutral this whole time, though. You'd think there'd be the angry eyebrows at least.

Look he's trying keep a burning, mostly destroyed ship steady and not crashing even more horribly than it already is, I don't think he's really in the right state to be having too many opinions right now.

For now, maybe. But pretty soon Hel is gonna get appointed to the Supreme Deity Court, and that jurisprudence is going to change. We can also expect an expansion of the doctrine of qualified immunity (from backstab or crits), a narrowing of which clerics get access to the "Sun" domain (if it's not thrown out entirely), and the explicit overruling of Drow v. Wade. On the plus side Loki is pretty liberal on lizardfolk/goblin/bugbear/troll issues, so those should at least be fine.

I dunno, man. I'm willing to cut Rich a lot of slack. He definitely puts out a good piece of literature for free. Sure, he's slow to update, and he over-committed to the Kickstarter stretch goals. But lazy? Eh, I don't see it.

Rich should create a Patreon so he too can earn a couple thousand bucks for doing a comic every two months or so.

Considering how long it took him to come around to the idea of selling PDFs, he'll probably make a Patreon some time around 2030.

Diaz is doing like at least one comic a month, a ridiculously high workrate for him based on previous form. More than VGCats, certainly.

It's a testament to the quality of Rich's writing that those of us annoyed by the glacial pace of updates stick it out. I'll almost definitely buy the next book when it comes out, unlike the GRRM books, which I've given up on. Wonder how fast the Mechane can brake. Is the crew about to have to resort to cannibalism up high in the mountains, while the OotS leaves them behind to go save the world?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the death clock of some of the people itt is closer to the end than Belkar's. I spend about 20 minutes every six months or so reading this comic (I'm a slow reader, ok?) and I'm pretty sure that Belkar will be around the lucky of us who survive for years to come.

Given what might be about to happen, the ship may well not even be operable soon. I doubt Andi can fix the whole ship on her own if they crash (as a result of her disobeying orders and mutinying), and at that point she's not really necessary to anyone. Really, I'd have been on board with Felix stabbing her. I suppose the ship getting destroyed and everything being hosed up as a direct result of her actions is a good way for things to go down before she meets any unfortunate fate.
