and if that doesn't give Peanut a good incentive to love Tarot more, i don't know what will <3

Or maybe Tarot simply don't have that spell? Or maybe Tarot has better attacks than utility spells? Or maybe-------

*asplodes from asking too much incomprehensible questions*

What do you think a weather control spell DOES? Maybe it just points out the location of the frost giant as says "there, go punch it"

I hope that is exactly what it does.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR NUMBER TALK!

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:41 pm

D&D talk. d20 means the number that shows up when you roll a 20-sided die. Same for d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, etc.

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 12:42 pm

I guessed that, but since I never played (nor show any interest) in D&D, I wouldn't know.

I just thought of something.

Tarot kills the frost giant, causes global warming.

And as we all know from "Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth" the only way to stop that is by collecting enough moon sapphires to open the Portals of Jericho.

i don't actually see how that's going to help
the storm already stopped clearly
the problem is the snow laying on the ground
how's is attacking a snow storm entity with the snow storm itself no longer present going to help?

I don't know about an In Comic explanation but the real reason is we get to see Dragon or Tarot or both punch a Frost Giant that's why. Maybe her fighting it cause it to stop and she's just finishing it off that's the best In Comic explanation I could give

I keep getting this thought of Tarot uppercutting the Frost Beast shouting "SHORYUKEN!!!!" with fire coming off of her paw. Unfortunately, I also imagine it in Ken's voice.... Darn me and my addiction to Street Fighter 4

Just thinking of the fight that way gives me a little chuckle. I didn't imagine the fight between Tarot and Frost Beast in that way.

*Tarot stands a short distance from the frost giant, eyes narrowed* "You can't beat me Aurgelmir. For you see, you are a frost giant-" *runs forward and punches Aurgelmir in the gut* "AND I AM A DOG!"

My thoughts exactly!
But imagine if Tarot won and a huge sign "Finish him!" appear above the two of them

I have a question for Rick. When you start an arc like this, do you plan on all this stuff happening, or do the ideas sometimes just come to you part of the way through?

I believe he always has a few arcs planned out in his head.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 4:04 pm

He has them planned ahead if i'm not mistaken. but he does make some changes. the ending for this arc was one if i'm not mistaken. >.>

Also, it's safe to assume the storm stopped because Tarot is winning this fight.

Z-Zman · Post by **Z-Zman** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 7:47 pm

I'm just wondering. does he PRE-PLAN an entire arc like 2 or three before it?

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 7:54 pm

it would be nice if he threw some brick jokes or continuity nods in there to screw with us.

IceKitsune · Post by **IceKitsune** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 7:59 pm

You know as stupid as this is since Dragon and Tarot are fighting a Frost Giant ,I've been wondering exactly how strong are The Cosmic Nerds? (Dragon Pete and Kitsune) Like are we talking Galactus level strength or lower maybe? or are we talking like a cosmic cube or like the endless or a cosmic abstract like being? (ie. Order,Chaos,Death,Dream ect.) this is assuming they don't have the rules of the Cosmic Game of U&U to follow.

Sinder · Post by **Sinder** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:04 pm

Given that Pete says it's easier to play in an existing universe than to create one (which implies that they could do so, it would just take some effort), it's reasonable to assume that they could also destroy one, if they were so inclined

copper · Post by **copper** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 10:38 pm

I have been gone too long! I missed so much awesomeness.

I hope Tarot borrowed mjollnir. Otherwise she might have some difficulty killing that Frost Giant.

Sinder · Post by **Sinder** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:04 am

oh, like she could hear a word he said

especially with all that not-thunder going on

lol this is going to be a good fight can't wait to see it.

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:13 am

"PAUNCH!" *giggles*

So wait, where's Tarot in all of this? If there are no answers because of this, I'll be confused.

copper · Post by **copper** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:15 am

Woah! that first panel defies explanation. Spirit Dragon really needs to pay attention and ignore that little crush of hers.

I wonder what the Spirit Dragon wants, anyway.

I would assume she is inside of Dragon (like Dragon kind of forms around her like armor that Tarot doesn't control) or maybe at the table.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 1:51 am

While to me at first it seemed like a sin that she got punched like that, it suddenly reminds me of one of those superhero comics where it just comes with the job of being powerful, mortal or not. Which makes me wonder what Peanut thinks of all of this @_@

Speaking of which, it's nice to see Peanut actually meet the Dragon face-to-face in this way. I never really expected Peanut to get involved with her in this kind of manner either. I wonder what his opinion of this is and if it will affect his imagination in any way? =P

Today's comic is full of EPIC, and I am thankful for such a gift to us humble, lunatic fans.

Hey! Speaking is a free action! That Frost Giant should totally wait for Dragon to finish her dialog first!

Alex · Post by **Alex** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 7:33 am

Paunch? Falcon paunch? I wonder if Sabrina can or will help the Dragon to win this fight...
Also, Peanut is kinda taking all this too lightly. He's in a spot near heaven watching a dragon fighting a frost giant, and he doesn't seem excited or scared at all...

copper · Post by **copper** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 10:10 am

Peanut has an extremely adaptive personality. I don't think any situation would faze him or very long.
