Comic for Wednesday, March 9th, 2016

[Schrodinger]

Alt Text: A Day To Remember.

Keith is getting real tired of your crap, Keiren. Oh well, you'll be dead soon anyway.

[Combak]

Oh Keiren, what an excellent choice of words... They don't sound ominous at all!

[ReBob]

Oh my, favorite page in a long time. Why is Kei so stupid? Rhetorical question, that. But really, that dialogue is golden.

Wonder what the particulars are on this meeting, suppose we'll see soon enough.

[FrogSteaks]

Jesus, I don't know how Kei could be any more of a bumbling idiot. I mean, that basitin line? Real smooth, Kei. And yeah, I'm real sure that everything's as hunky dorey as Kei suggests. Why wouldn't it be? [/sarcasm]

[BadFoMo]

I too believe this will be a day to remember, but probably not in a good way.


Anyway, is it just me, or does the dialogue in panel five not seem 'right'? I mean, Keiren says "any friend of mine…" to which Flora replies "I'm not sure I'd call us friends, Kei…"; he didn't say he and Flora were friends. Would this work better?

Feiren: Oh. Well, you know, the friends of my friend…
Flora: I'm not sure I'd call us friends, Kei…


Also, here is the sketch version for archival purposes.


P.S. Should we start shipping Brahn and Tiger Envoy Leader?

[Hayate]

Well looks like the Templar is kissing the Tigers hand, I hope the next comic involves them dancing.

I ship it

[Napoleon]

I think my favorite part is Trace's face on panel 1. It paints just how tired he is of Kei.

Feiren: Oh. Well, you know, the friends of my friend…
Flora: I'm not sure I'd call us friends, Kei…

The proper phrase is "Any friend of yours is a friend of mine."
Looks like Tom got the order mixed up.

[asphere8]

Sitting in the ER, might as well check 2K, and ooh, a new page! Impeccable timing as usual.

I hope Kei does get to hear all those "long stories" someday. I want his reaction. I want him to do a backflip.

[Rafe]

Out of the three - Keith, Maddie and Lynn, I wonder which "couple" of island weirdos Keiren is talking about sparking the incident.

Hmm, I don't remember Keith being called a weirdo since Natani tried to kill him here:

Must be a standard derogatory term for Basitins.

[ZeroJinKui]

ugh... have i mentioned how much i absolutely despise kei?

he's a complete and utter piece of trash not deserving of the air that he breathes.

"at least i'm here to see this one".

yeah, hopefully this "long story" ends up taking your life, you miserable little prejudiced maggot.

i'd give anything to be able to get my hands on kei and teach him a few hundred lessons in humility, equality, and... agonizing torment.

[Diabolicon]

Now now ZeroJunKui. There's no need to inflict undue harm. Just lock him in a room with a couple very hungry alligator snapping turtles.

[steelabjur]

Wasn't Brahn working with Neutral? That might explain why he treats Tigers with more respect (that or he's one of the Templars who wants Trace to return to lead them again, given they know he's with a Tiger, making nice with the Tigers might be an olive branch to draw him back).

'A couple' in this context can generally mean 'a few', and I doubt weirdo is a specific derogatory term. Basitins are probably rare enough that they don't get to have standard slurs, so you just end up with 'something weirdo'.


Kei the bumbling idiot. Flora sure knows how to pick 'em

[Vintage]

Smooth as a prickly pinecone, Kei. +1 foreign relations.
