Karishad rushing in to fix the door with a brand new one that he keeps on hand just for such emergencies

Well, he didnt get away. And Mungo is partnered up with fox. Also, coins gone flying, and Karishad is on door repair. All in all, pretty eventful.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Wait, in that first panel, Steward doesn't seem sure why they'd want the coin. Could this mean *gasp* he's innocent?

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Alright! Now they just need to reverse-use the coin! That should be easy... right?
Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Thing is, hes not innocent. He's flat out guilty of white collar crimes against the Milton estate for what has to be a tidy sum. But I's he running because he thinks they have him for that, or because he's behind the transformation or both?Frank wrote:Wait, in that first panel, Steward doesn't seem sure why they'd want the coin.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
So . . .
I have no idea how this can all be wrapped up in two pages without feeling hugely rushed, especially since one is going to feature a several months flash-forward.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
It would have been more satisfying if Lois did it or there was a snare trap but this feels more logical. Although the fact that Mungo is involved now seems strange. Everyone is here!
I think the way Steward is looking at the coin is very peculiar. He has this "This coin has been nothing but a curse on my life" expression. Or it could be a gollum type expression depending on how you look at it.
Okay so the coin is flying out of his paw. That isn't good. That means if someone shady figure picks it up then there will be Heck to pay later.

I'm sure it wont be. We are at the end of the beginning, oddly with no more answers than when Marion woke up. I suspect we will follow this mystery for some time.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Steward ran quite a ways and is just now passing Karishad. I wonder why he keeps the spare door so far away.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
But there has to be some kind of resolution. Not all answers must be given, but in the next two pages, we need to establish what, if anything, Steward tells the cops, what happens to Steward, what happened to the coin, what Marion and Lois do next, and we flash forward to Christmas. And all that is just assuming if we get no definitive answers to any of the questions the arc itself has raised. In two pages - keeping in mind 3-4 panels per page - all that feels like it's going to be a huge exposition dump if there's no time to really flesh out the moments.dr_eirik wrote:I'm sure it wont be.

This arc has been super exhausting to get through for how slowly it progressed and now that it's almost over, all I can think is, "No, it can't be over yet!"
Life. Go figure.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
The running is futile, as Steward knows,
now Fox has taken him off his toes
and forced the wily suspect to eat dirt;
at the speed he hit, that just had to hurt.
Fox shows the training he’s been given;
firm, not racked by indecision;
he’s become a credit to his trainer.
(but will he tell? A no-brainer).
Where is Kari off to now, I wonder?
And what’s his new piece of plunder?
A worry now strikes, a bit like thunder.
Is it from the temple that got rent asunder?
Well, Kari does have a large collection of temple stuff...

Anyone else getting a "Sum of All Fears" vibe? "The bomb is in play!"
What's that old line about better the devil you know then the devil you don't. If Stewart has lost the coin it's far game now. The question is who will get it? Pete/Craig? Jessica? A soon to be ex-human?

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
I really cannot tell if he ran because of Keene in the room or because they mentioned the gold coin. See this is why the writing is awesome here!

Maybe Steward slammed it open so hard, he broke it off the hinge. Maybe Karishad is bringing back the actual door.Obbl wrote:Karishad rushing in to fix the door with a brand new one that he keeps on hand just for such emergencies
Also, Fox really has gotten good at tackling. Steward's lack of instinct aside.
Getting the truth will be HARD!
Fun fact: The Badger is the world's most fearless animal according to the guiness records.
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php ... ey-badger/
They have trick skin which protect then from bee stings, porcupine quills, animal bites and human's ancient spears. As they are tough and strong this allow then to fight with much larger predators like lions.
They also have poison resistence, so they might eat poisonous snakes without caring about being bitten... Due to their resistence, they also eat scorpions and bee larvas...
In this story, this might translate to: "No amount of intimidation will work on him to get the trings that he know about the coin out."
However, I do not know how different grape and peanut's universe badgers are different from feral badgers from other universes. They can pretty well be softer due to being more civilized.

So they got him. I didn't think he'd get far.
I imagine the next page or 2 will be the interrogation, followed by... THE BOMBSHELL REVEAL!
"You fools! You thought it was the Badger, but it was actually I all along... THE PIZZA DELIVERY GUY!"

That's the African honey-badger, the toughest of all the badgers. There's other badgers, like the European badger (Beatrix Potter's Tommy Brock), the American badger (Steward), Japanese badger (kind of like a faded version of the European badger), hog badger, and so on.Ninkurou wrote:Fun fact: The Badger is the world's most fearless animal according to the guiness records.
All badgers are weasels (mustelidae), and yes they are in multiple separate genera. The honey badger is probably more closely related to the European badger than the American badger is.VeryAngryDeer wrote:Not quite. The Honey Badger is a weasel, not a badger. They just look similar.

The temple crashers weren't affected by the dungeon gold, they just didn't get any out because they thought it was fake (and Star Trek costumes didn't have pockets).CobaltLion wrote:I wonder if that would turn them into a human? Or wait...double-animal. Hybrid? Maybe I'm over thinking this.
Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
Wellp, guess that theory is starting to look bad. Obsessing over that coin.
Also, He's going to drop the coin and the cycle is going to continue on Christmas, isn't it?

Fox is right there, actively LOOKING for the coin and it can't have gone more than a few feet.

Oh boy, where's the coin gone?
I hope this won't mean more trouble...
Steward's caught, his time is up,
Sorry to burst your bubble.
Fox and friends have caught the trickster,
Now his time is done,
But was he really behind all this?
Soon we'll know for sure.
Kari's bending reality again,
Going to replace the door,
Maybe it was him behind it?
Who else could it have been?
We don't have many more answers
As this arc draws to a close,
All we have's two more furs,
And Steward says they broke his nose.

Nice job on the tackle, Fox! I do find it interesting that Steward was eyeing the coin in the first panel...although with the tackle, I wonder if he lost the coin then.

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence
We know exactly who Steward is and how he came to be a grumpy badger. He didn't give up his human life, Thomas spat the coin directly into his hand. Neither of them seemed to expect anything to happen, so either Thomas was really dense, or perhaps they thought the coin wouldn't have any power after the temple collapsed. Honestly, it's a toss-up (pun intended) which it is.tomindex wrote:I think the badger is the squirrels dad who gave up his human life for gold.
