AbscondWithAPie:
So we’ve decided that, for the rest of the summer, each of our Wednesday updates will focus on an aspect of Idenau. It’s going to be limited to information that won’t spoil the story, but we already have some ideas and we should be able to make it through the summer at least. The first update will be next week, so keep an eye out!
Altermentality:
Grandpa, you’re the best 
I’m really excited about this new Wednesday thing. You guys get to find out more about our world in general, while I get to catch a bit of a break. Maybe I can actually play video games again. ^_^
Love the look on skarvas face in the last panal. He gotso excited for nothing XD.
Well I hope the health potien worked and your feeling better cort!
Btw where has derk ran off too? And the captcha today is SQUOYAR FIELDS, is that a place in Idenau?
Derk ran off to Squoyar Fields. But really, I think he’s still behind the desk.
Hmm, I wonder if the moths will be drawn to him because of the Light magic inside him
He really ought to learn not to get his hopes up. No, I shouldn’t say that, his hope and exciteability are some of my favorite things about him.
It did, thanks! Also, the fact that it’s Friday is enough to make anyone feel better!
Of all the books to not have when researching a curse placed by the gods.
Yeah, Mr. The Second really dropped the ball there…
is it because its not here?
(rttentc lieut.) i guess captcha joined the army
It’s probably RAISING an army, to get its revenge and take back this site. We thought we could stop it with our little accounts…
Man I know that feel about treating books right, one time one of my ex-friends was screwing around with my favourite book,it was winter and we were building a fire…he PURPOSLY chucked my book in the fire. (We slowly gutted him like a fish afterwards) No we sent him home…than strangled him half way there and chucked his body in the river but thats not the point! the point is that I get very…very upset when someone mistreats a book. And by the way the book cost me $40 to replace it was an old book!
Burning books is a great sin, along with censoring them.
Unless it’s Twilight, then it’s ok.
You just have this thing for bottom-left panel Skarva smiles, don’t you?
Also, I love his cringe in the second panel.
Also, DOH!! (It’s always the [insert item here] you just HAPPEN to need that’s not in the [insert place you expect to find the item])
A necessary item is difficult to obtain? WHAT A SURPRISE
He really should have seen it coming.
A questing we shall go
Skärva hates quests! It’s not his job! He’s supposed to be the one at the END of the quest!
This guy really loves books. Maybe he should marry one.
He could turn this library into a harem!
But really, don’t talk to him about marriage. Just don’t.
Wow. Y’all have really gotten a long way since I last saw this. I finally remembered the URL for this comic the other day and man, it just gets better the more y’all put into it.
Thank you very much!
I love how he’s so doting towards the book. I’m exactly the same regarding Fullmetal Alchemist (both series and titular character).
I wonder what he does with books he feels have betrayed him. LIKE GAME OF THRONES/its sequels AGGHG UGH
Can’t stop reading the series though >__>
No wonder Dirk is scared of Grampa Skarva. He’s… kinda creepy and crazy, but mostly creepy.
How dare you get his hopes up and then dash them to pieces! I hope you do know where the book is, or at least the last known location.
…wait sudden thought: All the ghosts in the castle (sans him) look vaguely the same. I get that they’re mooks, but they’re all Ecta-like in appearance. Then we have Grampa Skarva. Hmm. He could be a Miniboss, since NPCs (at least Old Man Sages) seem to talk in boxes.
But also adorable.
Hmm, that is a fascinating idea. I’d never actually considered Blank fighting the ancestor Skärvas, but now I want to believe it’s happened in some past scheme.
I don’t know if you ever caught me or Victor explaining ghosts – we’ll probably do this officially in one of our new encyclopedia updates – but the more reach and impact a person has on other people when they are alive, the slower their ghost will lose its colors and shape after they die, just as other people’s memories of them will not be quick to fade. Thus explaining the distinction between average minions/mooks like Ecta vs. high lords.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…
Indeed.
I just noticed it now, (after reading the strip like five times), that Lorelei looks really demented in panel 3…
Pffft. A bit. She’s supposed to be amused but also creeped out.
Also, uh, just wondering, do you have a page in particular you want to be linked when advertising the Fourth? I don’t like sticking people at the beginning, (as I don’t feel it accurately represents the comic at its present state…), but nor do I like giving them the very latest, as they’ll just be confused. Help, please!
Nah. I guess just the home page with the current comic; after all, that’s where the ads link on the rare occasions that we advertise on other sites. It may be a bit confusing, but at least it shows we’ve got a story going on, and I would rather they see the current state of my art.
