Standard medieval city stuff.

Commentary

Wascally wabbit!

...That's all I've got.

Dan's Choice - The Bartender

From EGSNP's Parable 

Are those barrels of exposition? I bet they're barrels of exposition. Break them to learn how crafting works.

My apologies for messing up early access o...

"Also, chicken wings!"

Commentary

If I had to justify Susan agreeing to this (and I do, someone's bound to comment), this is another cut scene scenario. Susan began a conversation with the wrong NPC and inadvertently started a mini-game.

There is bartender mini-game in Fable 2, and ...

Workout Parable Susan

Susan didn't know if she actually needed to maintain her fitness in any way that didn't involve experience points and potions while in the game world, but she thought it might be a fun experience to do some heavy lifting either way.

This was voted on before Parable Susan went all "evil", but I figured plenty of people w...

Commentary

Image reuse?! I would never do such a thing! HOW DARE YOU

In all seriousness, it's something I should do more often when it makes sense to. It often doesn't work, but when it does, well... I has loooooots of comics to make o_o; 2020-02-21 19:50:19 +0000 UTC View Post

Squee

Commentary

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What? I'm allowed to get hyped about these two going on a first date in a non-canon scenario.

I'm not sure carriage-wrecks would really be a thing. I mean, surely they could happen, but as far as "with great enough frequency to used as an example in ...

Gluggity glug.

Commentary

Does anyone instantly like alcohol on their first try?

I know I didn't. Still don't. I only sorta like it when it's lime-flavored? I've also sort of enjoyed honey-flavored, but I'd have it "on the rocks", by which I mean I would drown it in ice.

Oh, and, um... Yes, this is t...

 It's probably for the best that Catalina is not an alchemist.

Commentary

This is a pretty chill, down-to-earth moment, but we can have those, right? Right?!

Look, if this is too mundane to you, just focus on how ridiculous Catalina's hair is for a bit, alright? Just stare at it for a b...

 Urge... To fill empty space in... Panel three... RISING...

"But that's the whole point."

I KNOW BUT STILL

(Note: I'm not suggesting I don't like the blank space. I do. There's just an impulse to fill it)

EDIT - Wrote "live" instead of "life"

Commentary

Parable - 66 - HD

In which the former monk can only recall the name of the most recent drink she's heard of.

Commentary

A WILD CATALINA APPEARS!

It is of no importance whatsoever to the plot, but in my mind, that bartender has gotten into fights with bandits, and that scar on her left arm is from blocking a b...

Parable - 65 - HD

 Abs.

Commentary

I really need to start splitting this thing into parts (if you're from the future and it looks like I have done, HOORAY! I DID THE THING!).

Case in point, this is the start of a part in which we take a break from the main plot, and even Susan, for a bit to see Rhoda go do... Something...

Parable 64 - HD

Though Parable 64 was groundbreaking, its controls would be considered alarmingly awkward years later.

Commentary

Panel two is partially inspired by The Witcher (books in particular), and people knowing about the main character Geralt by virtue of bard-sung word-of-mouth.

Bard-sung word-of-mouth t...

If this happens to you? Run.

EDIT - Color correction

Commentary

I feel this might be a little too true to real life when compared to the recruitment strategies for any number of things.

I hope the lurking in the bushes part is hyperbole, at least, but I can't be certain.

I wasn't sure ...

January Poll #2

Diane and Nanase each transform to look like a fusion of the two of them (though they remain separate and not actually fused).

Can vote for more than one.

January Poll #1

Ashley the magic-wand user. In each case, it’s a bit like a Halloween-costume version.

Can vote for more than one.

Parable - 62 - HD

She's not getting a great review score from this guy.

Commentary

It's rather brave and ill-advised of him to wave his pointer finger around like that while deliberately not looking at Susan.

I wasn't sure about this strip while in the middle of writing it, as I felt it could be taken as given that this guy...

Who To Make Identical Survey

Related to this poll. I plot at least one end of month poll related to such nonsense, and I'm curious who should be volunteered for it.

Please "like" suggestions you agree with, though I know Patreon was having issues with "lik...

Escort Quest Round 2

Commentary

I mostly just wanted to draw the faces in the first two panels. Panel three is lovely and all, but I would have had her drink any potion I could think of an excuse for just to make panel two happen.

I was just going to have him say ...

Identical Form Transformation Poll

If two characters were to windup looking identical via transformation, what options sound appealing to you?

This is, of course, generally speaking. Specifics will always matter.

By "fusion", I refer to similar to the sort seen in Dragon Ball, except the two characters remain separate.

 "It's just a little renounced! It's still good! It's still good!"

Commentary

This will, of course, take at least twelve comics.

I wasn't going to bother having Rhoda realize her own cutscene blunder, but then I realized I could get to paraphrase the movie Chinatown.

For the sake ...

Survey

Other characters need to wind up in a form and outfit like Elliot's current one in the story, if not more exaggerated.

So... Who should be volunteered?

Parable - 59 - HD

Bound for old Rorikstead, no doubt. (Skyrim reference! BAM!)

(...There's a song called Ragnar the Red in the game that mentions "old Rorikstead" SORRY I HAD TO EXPLAIN IT)

Commentary

Hey, at least we're acknowledging that these solutions exist, Susan. Have you ever played Final Fantas...
