A Sound Plan

First facepalm of the new arc. We have to try really hard to avoid overusing it.
Altermentality:
Actually, double facepalm.
And more skinnies. Skinny skinny skinny. But he should really get out of bed soon because I’m getting tired of drawing him in the same position.
I like the first panel – Lorelei somehow quelled the presence of the orange fury!
She converted it into Lime Green Determination.
Which are clearly flavours of jelly! Lorelei’s secret is at last revealed: she is the Jellymancer! ;P
Jelly? I was thinking, more like some kind of sports drink…
Lories such a little therpist.
I feel like the part on the roller coaster when your slowly rising tothe top,.and you are anxious to get there because its the fun part, hut also you dont want to get there because the good bits will be over realy fast. Did the make sense?
Captcha is “typlng exhaustively”.
I should probobly feel guilty but schools out and I can sleep in. Ok captcha? OK?!
She’s a tough little therapist! She’s being pretty hard on him lately, but he needs it.
It’s ok, this roller coaster is going to have a long rise to the heavens, so you can enjoy the view of Idenau!
I can picture her with a ntepad in hand saying 5And how does that make you feel?”
And how do you pronounce Skärva? Like scar-va or scare-va?
Scare-va. Although if you say Scar-va, or leave out the umlauts when you write it, he won’t kill you. Probably just give you a FACE.
NO. Now is not the time for face.
Love how she just stopped his face (I don’t his face showed weakness) No it bloody didn’t (yes it bloody did) Also the last time I dealt with a god it didn’t turn out pretty for both sides. (It was part of a long process of how I was made!) Yes dealing with gods gives you trauma that has the potential to make you insane…remember that next time you want to mess with one (Or something like me is the outcome) and you don’t want something like him and….are you agreeing with me? (Oh crap I think I am let me beat you up that should change things) IT WONT CHANGE ANYTHING! (It will change the face we agreed on something) Just go away. (cant I’m stuck in yer head) -_-”
Well, let us hope Skärva’s mind doesn’t fracture in the battle with his gods. It’s just one of many things his friends have to worry about now!
Well that depends what kind of gods they are (The ones he dealt with were pissy) Pissy is an understatement they did not take well to me interupting them they used many different types of attacks and magics, my mind nearly shattered like glass. (However in a self defense moment I was born preventing the shattering of his mind but only part of it which is why I’m still around bothering him today.) If my mind fully recovered I would be normal instead I’m stuck with him. Skarva just don’t go against the gods nothing good ever happens. (I was born) good for you not me.
I never noticed before, but Skarva has tiny, tiny arms. It’s no wonder Blank keeps beating him.
A lot of people have just noticed, it seems.
Skärva’s garb is so poofy partly to hide this fact, because yeah, he’s not exactly a very intimidating guy physically. He could probably hide behind the Sword of Stabbing. I guess his gauntness could be scary in its own way, though.
I LOVE SKARVA’S SKINNY ARMS!!! I have a weird thing for arms and (for some reason known only to the winds of Asgard) thighs. I love drawing them, so seeing his skinny arms makes me quite happy.
Oh, I finally finished your anniversary gift.

CAPTCHA hopes you don’t “immediately eursrsp” it in any way… Congrats, again.
Eeeee!!! Thank you so much!!! (Blank you idiot, I would NOT get my finger that close to Skärva’s mouth! Also, Ecta looks happy for once. She’s probably about to throw Davis. And that Slice, SO ADORABLE)
I really need to set up the fanart section on our site, but I haven’t had a free weekend in a while… *sigh*
That’s fine, take your time. I’ll have lots of pictures to fill it with by the time you set it up
*facepalm* (btw i will provide all of you to an awesome looking movie that reminds me of the forth latter)
You just created a TRIPLE FACEPALM
If it’s Wreck-it Ralph, we’ve seen it.
lol it was wreak-it Ralph and yes its the tri-force of facepalms!!
I’ve gotta say that Skarva doesn’t have that bad of logic for why he’d be able to defeat the gods. Though there is the problem of finding out where they are, if no one has seen them. Also I love the first line “Now is not the time for face.”, I’ve got to figure out how to use that in an everyday conversation…
Captcha is old ofturn
It’s the kind of thing Victor says all the time. Reading the comic is a bit like talking to him, I guess, which maybe makes up for him never showing up in the comments.
…Of course, if all that’s true, (which it’s probably not), then what’s the point of defeating the gods in the first place? What’s to be gained by defeating a bunch of nothings? You still even have the overpowered hero to deal with afterwards…
The gods still give Blank their power. It is they who help him triumph over impossible odds, everyone knows that and he freely admits it. Skärva has a lot to find out about the nature of the gods, at any rate. Defeating them may not be possible.
But it’s the only chance he has.
…which invalidates the whole “the gods are powerless” bit. If you accept the condition that it’s because of the gods Blank succeeds, then you admit they have at least some power, (and probably more than enough to defeat dear Skarva). Either the gods are powerless and Blank is defeating Skarva all on his own (and therefore the gods’ defeat would not matter much in that department), or Blank is blessed by the gods, which means they have some power.
I’m probably overthinking this, (or Skarva is underthinking this…), but his logic just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me,
You’re not the only one. It takes a lot to make Derk talk back to his boss, or to make him and Lorelei facepalm. Our villain realizes there are a lot of things he doesn’t see clearly yet, but his end goal has been irrevocably etched into that scheming mind while it was unconscious.
Of course they have some power, but can they only harm mortals by acting through other mortals? Why do they need a middleman to be their puppet, if not? So many questions need answering, and Skärva is determined to do more than sit around pondering.
Perhaps. It seems like these are questions best left unanswered, though, because they’ll most likely be answered in a way that suddenly and immediately ends your life.
Skarva needs to get married and have a kid before he goes off trying to slay the gods! The Skarva line must be continuied!
Now you’re starting to sound like his father! It’s always “So when is the Fifth coming, huh, when are you going to find yourself a girl?”
Not that Skärva is even very keen on bringing another little sharkling into the world, for its own sake, because it’s very difficult to grow up and exist that way… but also for his own sake because he is NOT the type (yet?) to raise a child. He never asked for the little girl he picked up, and while they have grown close, that’s about all the kid he can handle, and even then it’s like having a kid while magically being able to skip the diaper and throwing-up stage.
…continued*
…Speaking of continuing (or actually not), I love Skarva’s lovely ‘winning’ smile in the last panel.
He looks so goofy!
Thanks. I love it too.
sounds like a good back-up plan to me.
He’ll probably point behind the gods and say “Look! A sacrifice!” first before making a dash for it.
Well, let’s look at what we’ve learned.
1: The gods always have to use a messenger that they empower. They have never once ended a scenario of Skarva’s on their own or through simply the skeins of fate, they have always used some sort of messenger/weaver.
2: While the gods are quite potent at empowering individuals, it is apparently unheard of for them to just send something from their realm to attack/assist said messengers in an actually noteworthy way (I.E. taking out the three thousand moblins shooting arrows at him)
3: It is entirely unheard of, in recent years at least, for the gods to go charging after an individual. If Skarva’s confidence is to be trusted, there is little to no evidence that gods have caused any real noteworthy DIRECT damage to any villain in recent years.
4: The god’s don’t do much smiting of temples for not giving out appropriate sacrifices lately. Surprisingly.
While I fully expect Skarva to fail here, I expect it not to be in the damage sense. If his research truly does allow him to level a weapon against the gods, by any communication of that concept, then he has discovered more then most clerics ever would in their entire careers. And he’s the sort of person to publish his findings. Which means that now clerics everywhere have to start bookburnings, and that tends towards people beginning to hate them.
Indeed, and he can always cut a deal on a memoir too! Or a webcomic! (Because webcomics in general are very profitable, right.)
It often takes people who challenge a system to find out the truth behind it. So perhaps it takes someone who opposes the gods to truly know them, and that has been the secret all along.
I still fully expect Skarva to find out nothing about the gods themselves, whilst still managing in a mad sci-esque way of creating this ultra doom cannon that can cause harm to the gods, and then just passing out the schematics in pamphlet form. “So, it would appear that you hate the gods? Find out how to get back at them!”
Um… Skarva? Who’s to say Blank won’t be close by when you actually challenge the gods?
Oh no… The most annoying thing in existence has infiltrated Captcha!!!
Seriously… this was my captcha:
toodssp Navi
My interpretations on Captcha for today:
Captcha recommends that Skärva should LISTEN!! to his friends and WATCH OUT! for the gods.
Oh dear, a very good page! “NO. Now is not the time for face” is a particularly good start! XD
In addition, I approve of Skärva’s tactical ability: running away is ever a viable and worthwhile backup plan.
To quote King Arthur (as portrayed in Monty Python and the Holy Grail):
“Run away! Run away!”
about the 1 year prize……whos the sharkman with the “icy” appearance? his hair is spiky like ice
silhouettes are lame D:
swampy fopess’ i think captcha meant swampy slopes
What, the Third? Did I really draw him that differently this time?
Silhouettes can be awesome when used for effect. And revealing things before their time will make you guys impatient, and that’s lame!
Swampy Slopes? Sounds like it would be a level in Donkey Kong Country…
it was a hint that i WANT to know who the new characters are
YOUR FANS WANNA KNOW!!!!!!!
lol i think that is a level from donkey kong xD
Lorelei’s face looks a bit derpy on the fifth panel. XD
(WTH… my captcha was “slow neundsc”, but it was upside down. o.0)
Captcha is doing a handstand!
She is trying SO hard to convince Skärva he’s being dumb. That’s her concentration derp face.
yes, run. Run to the other side of the world, hide behind the morning in the depths of the sea. They’ll still get you and fek your shite up.
The depths of the sea? Jeez, what do you think he is, some kind of fish ma- oh…
“Now is not the time for face.” is such a silly line! XD
-RU =)
