So there you have it. Theresa and William were inside the goat-frog. Now, they're not. Because there is no goat-frog. Just lots and lots of goat-frog guts.

A stunt goat-frog was used in the making of this comic. No actual goat-frogs were harmed.

Ok, so apparently the goat-frog already was big enough to eat them... and did.

Plan: 
   a: Get yourself eaten by a big goat-frog.
   b: Slither on down to it's stomach. (short trip, froggies are almost all stomach)
   c: Grab it's bezoar stone. an indigestible mass with supposedly magical properties
   d: Remove yourself from goat-frog's tummy.  Easy way = explosives.

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

I disapprove of this. I demand to see REAL comic creatures getting blown up. >_>

Whew, that's a relief to know that no real goat-frogs were blown up. I completely disagree with SoySauce!Theresa shouldn't complain: Considering everything, they got out of that one terribly well! Not only were they completely unarmed by the explosion, it seems her clothing is mostly anti-goat-frog-guts since there's only a few tiny spots! So no harm, and minimal amount of cloth washing required. That sounds like a nearly perfect plan to me! 

Together Again!

Update!: All finished and there you guys go. We'll be seeing you again on Thursday!

Please note! Today's comic will be delayed due to some computer problems. We'll have it up as soon as William slays these nasty little viruses, Tron style!

William showed up again last page but this marks the first appearance of Kludge and Melody in person since Chrys told the story of her birth in chapter 2.

You'll see almost as much (if not just as much) of William and Mandrake this chapter as you will Theresa and Chrys. You'll also see some fun Melody and Kludge side plottage. Circe will also be making an appearance. As for Blue and the Surgeon? I'm saving their side plot as some sort of bonus feature down the road.

Speaking of bonus features, I'm working on a prose storyline for our upcoming print edition of chapter 1. The story will tell the origin of the Mysteries of the Arcana multiverse! Hopefully their will be many orders for the book when we finally launch it.

Ummm, it's 0308 EDT, 10/25, and i still have last Thursday's comic, even though i have this commentary.

Yes, apologies. Keith's got a nasty computer virus that's preventing him from doing Photoshop work. He'll have it up as soon as he can.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP   BEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP We are experiencing some technical difficulties, please stand by.  Or go take a nap.  Maybe grab a bite for lunch.  Go soak in the tub full of Blue.  Could watch Lord of the Rings in its extended entirety.  Get all your Christmas shopping done on Ebay.  Or live at the mall for three days.  Genetically splice your own goatfrog.  Eat some Buzz (don�t chew or swallow).  Piss off a Mandrake just to watch her tell you to go F*** yourself, then go try it out.  Read all 32 years of Garfield.  Laugh at ALL the LOL Cats.  Or you can just continue standing by, praying for a miracle to save Keith�s computer when everyone who has ever seen it knows the damn thing was put on life support by the dinosaurs.  (insert crude joke about cyber STDs aka computer viruses)  Great excuse for an upgrade!  We now return you to stare at the wonderfully detailed but icky page of �Explosion are Fun�.  Thank you.   BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

So... Unlike last week, actual viruses were harmed in the making of this comic?Theresa's still a tiny bit bitter I think... But on the positive side, we finally get to see Melody a bit! Okay, we mostly just see her hair and her intact arm, but it's a start! Smile
