I find Princess’s choice of clothing rather accurate.
Top choice, I’d say XD
But then her shorts must say “bottom” 😮
oh honey. I think you missed the joke.
They got a bit switched up in that one.
Allison has a good Luke Skywalker thing going on for this
Remember, Luke: reach heaven through violence…
… always.
🤣🤣🤣
its weird to think that shes probably totally aware of that while no one else is
When you know you’re the Chosen One, dress like it.
Obi-wan, surely, with that coat drop?
Yusss! Cheddar Monk Allison
I wonder who is wearing the “bottom” shirt…
That would be for the pants, I assume
Princess turns around and you see “BOTTOM” written on the ass of his booty shorts
Wasn’t Princess supposed to be female?
I mean they’re pretty ambiguous, when they were an ebony masked demon they did seem to be pretty masculine?
I mean, I’m sure Cio is also top. Gender doesn’t determine who’s top or bottom. And with their size, I wouldn’t mind any possible gender with them on top, neutral included.
The issue was probably more with Procrastinating Student’s use of pronouns than with whether or not Princess is allowed to be a top.
KILLBOSS but ironically.
Last Panel Salami: “This is Air Phone, your funny mime company, how many I help you?”
Of course, it’s not a spoken line.
To Barker’s Carpet I return
The policeman with hands that burn
and Suffer has the words to learn.
We cannot help but See the space available in the arena of such a momentous event. Exclusivity of in-person attendance? Exorbitant fees? Or perhaps a wide-spread knowledge of the danger of being in the immediate vicinity of beings of such immense powers when they engage in combat?
I would say the lack of attendees is the result of a lack of worthy contestants. Bear in mind that this is just the beginning of the tournament, designed to weed out the undeserving. Near the end, when the true giants of the competition are revealed, the coliseum could very well be bursting with viewers.
Dude: mostly what happens on Day 1, especially early in the day, is that the scrubs get weeded out. You’re not even gonna get any really spectacular matches; the big names aren’t gonna show their best stuff that early in case one of their future opponents is paying attention. The only folks in the stand are the game addicts, the family members, and the kind of guys who bet on kids playing soccer. Hell, the big money players haven’t even woke up from their preGame party hangovers yet.
Wait till after the third elimination, then it’ll be standing room
The crowd will pick up
Bloody know-it-alls out here giving out trade secrets for free.
Many citizens died while constructing this year’s arena. Their loved ones are in attendance in their honor.
Still, it was a record safety year overall.
Ohoho yes! Finally, time to let it RIP! Hell yea. I’ve been in the stands now for 4 hours hahaha, at least my dad kept me company… He and I are mega excited to see the fighter from our hometown, Bogov Ramkin the prodigy rapier wielder! He is really good, I think he can get really high – maybe not fight Solomon David himself, but at least enough to meet some big names and cool people! We will here all about it from him at home, if he survives! Ahahah
GO RAMKIN GO GO
i’m monkey
I’m sorry to reply to something from nearly 4 years ago, but I was reading through the comments, and after all the people roleplaying as angels or demiurges or what have you, your comment fucking killed me.
I see that White Chain follows local custom in greeting the Emperor.
Koss might have swung a bit too hard when he struck,
“Obey The Law” into her.
nailed the jedi look
Gotta put that cosplay experience to work.
are those farty pants allowing free flow of all vapours, gasses and emanations of an ethereal nature to be released in a flamboyantly dramatic fashion in panel 1? … no … not possible … those are disrespectful thoughts.
… but ..
There sure are a lot of billowing fabric opportunities there.
That monkey is either in awe at the image of the Purple Emperor or hes having a stroke. But will find that out later, now its fighting time!
I see that Solomon David has taken extra care to make sure his beard is PERFECTLY box-shaped today. Good show, Solomon!
It is good to see the contestants observe the rule that all must be wearing headgear. Not that it will matter in the end.
Panels 2 & 5 don’t match panel 6, and it’s unfortunately the first thing I noticed.
AUGH!
I can never unsee this!
Why did you show me this!?
I don’t understand? What doesn’t match?
In panel 6 a seat-“division” is about 4 people wide, in the other panels it’s more like 20.
Actually, if you go back to look how close to the ground people are seated, I’d say it looks closer on older pages as well …
The dividing walls/handrails in the middle of seating are not prescient in the zoomed out view the only dividing walls/hand rails are on the far side of the stairs/walkways from the bleachers, and even those are far less common than shown in the zoomed in view.
present* ….the walls are not psychic in any of the panels…to my knowledge at least
You’d be amazed what can still see the future.
Especially birds.
Well, Princess Jack et al aren’t visible in either of panels 2 or 5, so it’s possible the stadium seating layout isn’t the same the whole way round.
Which sounds like just the sort of infuriating-once-you-realise-it thing Gog-Agog would do.
Shirt Shirt, flutter and Flirt
Princess the Top and Gog-Agog the Wart
Awwwww shhhhhhhhhit!
Allison: “Everybody betray me, I fed up with this world!”
“How much of the confetti is worms? Don’t worry about it, but bring a mask.”
-A Tourist’s Guide to Rayuba
Nyave looking at Solomon with such spite… she has enough of demiurges for a lifetime
Can at least one low level contestant lose because confetti floated into their eye during the match?
Since the tournaments began, the number of low level fighters that perished in confetti-related mishaps is ASTRONOMICAL.
The gestures of supplication by the Rayubans to the Great Salami are interesting, as is their apparently universally muted garb. These people are not free of spirit.
Looks like Princess is smoking a pipe? I wonder what’s in it…
The Death of Un-Hanza, and some of his left femur.
Sounds hard to keep lit!
Not at all, for this was ordained from the moment of Hanza’s birth,
which is exactly the way he liked it.
We will now see
who has the squarest beard of all.
It looks like Allison is finally coming into her power. Her eyes are white matching her key more often now.
Well yeah; her forehead is covered by that helmet and the god-light needs to find its way out of her head *somehow*.
