Ba approves of all of this, save the implication that he's Doors' father. He does not approve of that at all.

Hooray for Doors! he saved the day! Hooray for Garner! only making me slow in one comic! Hooray for the fruit pie ships! they made me laugh a lot! Hooray for Katcal as well! (even if it took me a few seconds to actually get it. but when i did i laughed!) hooray!

The joke only works if Ella is the only one who hasn't been affected yet.

As it is, it looks like the halo's just stuck there in mid air for some reason, which sort of pulled me out of the comic.
If the halo were simply free floating, it would be left behind everytime Grace walked around. That it remains with her implies that it is in some way "tethered" to her. Thus, while the wind is able to move it somewhat away from her, it is unable to move any further.
Well, comedy effect trumps such things Also, the halo blowing across the panel would indicate time passing, before snails hair finally catches up. Personally, that'd make it funnier to me But, I do like it as it is
My first Tripod appearance! Huzzah! Verry nice Garner. I hope your boss gets stuck in meetings more often! And nice Katcal too. It was most amusing. Yay for Tripod Ideas!

Great Tripod ideas and great comic, Katcal. For some reason (it couldn't have anything to do with being up for an ungodly amount of time could it) I read Hex's last comment as "Yay for Tripod Jesus!" That nearly tripped me out.

[quote:095f4bfde7="Garner"]pannel one: FLAME WARS pannel 2: doors, garner, and the droidmen walking in town Doors: But how am I supposed to learn how to use my close relation's Flame saber and become a Nazi Knight if you don't train me? Garner: (unconcerned) Meh. pannel 3: katkal pops up, with a giant bunny beside her. Katkal: Hi! I'm a pilot! OOOOH! You've got droids... smelly smelly droidmen! Doors: (blasts katkal with the flame saber) Garner: If you've got the instinct, it just kind of comes naturally. Doors: I see. Pannel 4: garner, doors, and droids walk into a pub. they meet grace, mynona, plaid, and om (as desert hermit, young nazi in training, and droids respectively). all appear shocked. caption: To Be Continued...[/quote:095f4bfde7] I guess I skipped this one (and a few others) 'tis funny I like the giant bunny as Shoebucket the Wookie
Kind of agree with Om, most of the ideas are good though those with me in them are the best. Of course. You just can't beat natural talent at tripoding.
Doors, I thought the halo worked just fine. It was actually my favourite bit of the first panel. Evidently, you just have poor judgment!
Oh right, I was wondering if that was done on purpose in the cast pictures or if it was just a mistake... now I know ! Edited to faint at having made Garner smile. *faints*
She couldn't possibly be all French, I mean, the general French person knows about as much English as the general American dude knows french. And yes, I've been to France. And no, they didn't speak anything close to English. Which was bad, since I faked knowing French. I did have some pretty interesting conversations, though. I have no idea what we spoke about but they were interesting. There was also the skull of a dead guy inside a cupper-bust in a church. Don't ask.
[quote:9e827b26bd="spiky"]I blame doors. Its just like him to leave the bits of his victims lying all over Europe.[/quote:9e827b26bd] it was a human skull, not an ovine one And, no, the French don't speak English. They actually have a word for what they speak, it's yaourt" (yoghurt) meaning they gargle something that sounds like English but doesn't actually mean anything. This was actually one of the most obvious flaws in the DaVinci Code film, the French police guys spoke decent-ish English. French policemen don't even speak French.
