    Pig or hog aside, why would what seem to be a bad guy care which of the heroes was attacking it?

    Judging from the emphasis (Why aren't you the Hero of Melee?) I'd say that it's more a general question - not "Why is the HoM not chasing me?" but "Why aren't you the HoM at all?"
     

    To that I say, the reason is obvious - there's the Hero of Melee, the Hero of Magic, Hero of Skill (ranged), and then there's the Hero at the Heart, whose role it is to bring them all together and lead them.


  2. Re: the commentary

    I think it's better that he left the metaphor open-ended.
    I'm sure that we have more than our share of Tolkien fans - they may know that Tolkien despised allegory. Quoth the forward of the book: "I much prefer history, true or feigned, with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers. I think that many confuse 'applicability' with 'allegory'; but the one resides in the freedom of the reader, and the other in the purposed domination of the author."

    By leaving it open, Dan broadens the applicability, allowing for the interpretation to lie on the reader's shoulders.

     

    That said, I'm with Kitty - Just garlic bread and chill or something.

    To be fair, it's entirely possible that Rich didn't say anything terribly objectionable. He's clearly cracking wise about something, but let's face it. It could be entirely unrelated to Kitty or anything she cares about, and this could have been the outcome.

    Possible, but knowing Rich it's highly unlikely.

    Ya know, Lucy seems to have just barely hiden contempt of Diane, and Rhoda is, well I am not sure what Rhoda is, seems like she is a sub in training, with Diane as her domma. Hardly a good group to draw conclusion from.

    I dunno. With Rhoda, we're probably seeing the remnants of her crush on Diane (I had crushes nearly 20 years ago that never fully went away), and frankly, Lucy may just have that attitude with everybody. I don't think we've seen enough of her to really judge (we just had, what, her third appearance? And four lines in it was more than she had in either of the ones before).


  5. Honestly, none of this really surprises me. The statement in the previous comic that "half the school" had "hit that before" was clearly news to Diane, and these two girls' opinions seem to run along the same lines as Nanase's, as seen in Diane's first appearance

    But then, that's not what's important here - what IS important, is Diane discovering what people outside of her inner circle really think about her.

    Someone on Patreon said that if it wasn't for the Trek theme and hammer insignia, you wouldn't know it was Susan, I kinda agree, but it's really the hair that does it, it looks more like Grace's style than Susan's.

    I dunno, I see something of Susan in the face.

    Also, I wonder what ship uses a hammer for its' insignia (In TOS, each ship had it's own).

    That would be if there were no PLOT reason for her presence. There is one. Magus wants a witness who can explain his motivations to the currently possessed and presumably unaware Elliot.

    My comment had to do with the commentary for the comic, rather than the comic itself. And frankly, while she's there for the purpose of exposition, that isn't the ONLY purpose for her to be there.
