This might be the nicest thing Skärva has ever done

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys! I feel much better now. Now there may not actually be a comic on Friday because I got all messed up thanks to the sickness, but there will be a nice surprise of some sort!
Derk is afraid of heights because he’s always the one who falls down into the dungeons/basement. Or the sub-basement.
just don’t look down
Considering he looked down before finishing his own sentence, he was probably going to say “Don’t look like an idiot” or some other Skärvism.
Does having Dark Magic surrounding you make it harder to see?
Probably. Which is good in Derk’s case, as he can’t see the ground getting further and further away…
Is this the first time Skarva is acting like a true protagonist rather than being that annoying brat who refuses to work? A lot of firsts in this chapter…
Nah, I’m sure he’s bitten his tongue and taken the lead before… uh… just let me think about when…
(And he shouldn’t bite his tongue, really, not with those teeth.)
Being levitated would only be freakier for me. Have you ever been on one of those freefall things, where they attach you to a harness and you just step off the edge of a tower? Even though you’re gently lowered to the ground and it’s not a far drop, it’s really, really freaky. You want nothing more than to cling to the cable (and they won’t let you, because apparently that’s unsafe!).
In the end, I’d rather be able to hold onto a rickety ladder than have to hold onto nadda.
Derk is too paralyzed with fear to even realize what’s going on. But when he comes to his senses, you know… I think he actually trusts Boss enough to feel safer than otherwise.
Looks like Skarva’s genre-savvy is showing!
Cover that up, man, nobody wants to see that!
That’s actually really cute that Skaerva did that for Derk. No “DERK SNAP OUT OF IT”, no outbursts. He just helps and that’s great. >w<
When it comes right down to it, Skarvs would do as much for Derk as Derk would for him.
Now that’s true friendship right there.
Skärva just does it with more frowny-face.
That’s what true friendship is all about; levitating your friend out of a bad time. :’D
I’m a terrible friend ;_;
Everybody’s talking about what he did for Derk, but don’t forget that he also reassured Lorelei instead of brushing off her fears!
Good guy Skärva. Oh he’s going to look back on this page as being so embarrassing for him. But we all know how he really feels…
Come Skearva, Levitate yourself! I know you can do it!
That second panel, awesome yet slightly creepy at the same time. Also, poor Derk.
I love the new banner, it showed up for me and I love that snowman prank XD
Though in the meantime I have to find a way to get “a pirates life for me” out of my head.
Does Derk have some sort of secret backstory that hasn’t been revealed yet?
Yup! See, Derk is actually half Lurkin. That’s why his eyes are like that. His parents were ashamed of him, so they abandoned him at an orphanage. That’s why he knows Blank, they grew up together.
….okay, probably not. But that would be fun.
Or maybe Derk is actually blind and uses magic or earthbending or something to see
That’s your idea of fun?
(Derk still calls his parents, remember! Of course, that could have been his adoptive parents, I suppose…)
Yeah. I’m pretty evil on Fridays.
Well, no super dark secrets or anything… except that one thing that he doesn’t like to remember. There’s a lot about all the characters that you don’t know!
I’m with Derk there. Being a big person on a moldy old rope is not exactly a situation with a bright outcome.
Animating Snowmen with Dark Magic is the best thing for villains to do.
A close second is scaring his employees
