Chasing the Sunset

Got to agree with ... here: there are 2 ways of explaining the punchline, but IMHO its far more likely (and funier) to interpret it as the general being made fun of by mentioning him as a jester. Would make sence for the king to say that too, aye :)

Nice work on the lines in the walls in frame 1 and 5 btw, too bad the road still is a flat straight piece'a brown - then again, detailing it the way I'd love to see it would probably drop the number of comics to 1 a week max, so please don't listen to my silly ranting here ^_^

Sotek says:

The interpretation that the jesters wouldn't let him throw out the general makes NO SENSE.

The interpretation that the general should be taken about as seriously as a jester, however, DOES make sense.

I notice that Ayne's cuts still haven't healed compleatly....

I read it meaning the general is a jester. The other way just doesn't make any sence.

I LOVE Ayne's face expression in frame 5. To me it doesn't look like she's glareing at the princess. It just looks like she's pouting. WHy would she be mad at the princess. It's not her falut she's rich!

Wait...who is this princess? THe king's daughter or someone else complealty? Is she the true heir?

the princess is the kings grandaugter

Kaasya says:

From the princess's worried expression, it certainly looks like Ayne is glaring at her. But it looks to me that Ayne is glaring over the top of and posssibly past the princess. I wonder if she is glaring at Feiht, or perhaps something else??

Moonclaw says:

What type of jesters have the power to stop a king from fireing them? Great strip, can't wait till the next one! ^_^

Pixie Slayer says:

Maybe she's glaring because the king mentioned boys, but not girls!

You know what I like most about this comic? If you miss a page a bar will tell you what you missed. It's very convine when your out-of-town!

Chevette Girl says:

Actually, in frame 4, it looks like Ayne and the dragon are both looking at something offscreen...

Phoebe says:

So... Ayne is taller than the princess, and the bard/king, but is smaller than the amazons. That makes no sense...

Empress Catriona of the cat People says:

Maybe Amazons are reeeeally tall? Tyhat would make sense. Lots of jungle air and good food should make someone grow all tall. And medaeival people were shorter than they are now, so maybe the Amazons are normal to tall for nowdays and other people are short and Ayne is normal height. That would make Leaf kid-height, and the girl typing this about Amazon height and my Mum taller than leaf, but shorter than Ayne.

The Spiritual Elephant says:

I have decided that Mithrandir is an Elven name, and that he is 742 because that is old enough for an elf to be intelligent and mature, but not old and stuffy for an elf (Legolas is over 3000 years old and he sure isn't stuffy. I wonder if Mithrandir is hot like Leggy? is Mithrandir a guy... Maybe my brains hould stop wandering now)

Queen Julietaini says:

The point of our King Mysterious's little jab is that the jesters are the generals. I like Myrhad's tail in Frame 5, Ayne looks really stoic in Frame 2, and aren't minstrels different from bards? Minstrels do music only, but bards tell stories also. What's a Murloc? (If this post doesn't go up, I'll take it as a hint)
