      Fang FanGirl, I just wanted to say your Gravatar is adorable! Even at this size it’s clear that Rich drew that. Very cool!

        I tell you it was a pain to keep my Boo still for the pose. He kept wanting to build a barnacle castle out of fishing lures!

    The finest warhorses are unfazed by wargs. It just seems mildly interested.

      Just wondering what the clank is going on 😛

    Is it really a good idea to send the leader to scout unknown forces?

      Well glon is probably the most humanoid person they have and it is a war against evil. so sending a goblin or an orc scout might result in attacking first and ask questions later seeing that most humans consider orcs and goblins evil.

        Wouldn’t really be a good scout if they got spotted then
        And also, the leader is not the one to carry the flag

        Speaking of: did they change the symbol? From a hand to a fist?

          Yeah, it’s a fist, and you REALLY don’t want to know where they plan to shove it up…

            Just wondering _when_ they changed it
            Did they change it when Mrs Bloodhand abdicated in favour of Glon?

            July 28, 2024, 10:46 pm | #

            Maybe they have 1 for outright war, and a fist would be very appropriate.

            Btw, have to say this is still one of my fave strips, regardless of the fact that nobody is stripping

    Okay, went back to Hogga’s last appearance thinking it was her ear that she had lost, it wasn’t, it was the right horn on her helmet

      I think I remember commenting how lucky it was that the blow that sheared the horn off her helmet DIDN’T take her ear with it…so maybe I inadvertently spawned a false memory there. 😉

      For that matter, it’s amazing that hobgoblin warriors don’t all lose an ear or two early in their careers as a matter of course.

      • NotRichard
        January 10, 2020, 2:56 am | # | Reply

        Yeah, and in the last page with her, her ear is fine, now the horn is repaired and the ear is damaged…

    This is so weirdly casual. I think that helps make it even more euphoric.

      In this moment, there is, briefly, no war, no crisis. Only a reunion.

        I love this reunion, too, and how close Glon and Lucas have become, considering what a brat Lucas was in his much younger days.

        Rich, this is one of the reasons I enjoy YAFGC so much, for heartwarming scenes like this. Thank you.

      Yeah, for a real pull on the hearstrings go back to when we were first introduced to these two to see how much time has changed them both.

      There’s a story here, isn’t there?

      I’m now picturing a sidearc in which vargr and horse quietly continue that wide-eyed meetgaze from panel eight, then the vargr gently offers, "You’ve…changed your mane a bit, since last I saw you." A bit of silence. "Hello again. It’s…it’s good to see you."

      And the horse laughs, gently, in disbelief, processing that this is happening. "That scar…I bet you have a glorious story to tell about it. Hello…it’s been so long, hasn’t it?"

      Were they shieldmates in a battle past? Adventuring buddies? Conscripted steeds who traveled side by side? Starcrossed lovers simply not meant to be? Black Mountain orcs remembering their past lives? So many worlds of possibility, in that one wide-eyed "Oh!" in panel eight.

          Aww, thank you, p!enapple. I am indeed a teller of stories, have been an author, musician, artist, game developer, DM and worldbuilder over the years. I am most proud, though, of my small role collaborating with Rich on The Little Librarian, some chapters ago. If I could replace the entire front page of my CV with "Worked with Rich," I would!

    I’m hoping that the horse glon rode when he went back to visit the town is okay and is going to enjoy the upcoming upset.

    I also hope we get to see gren’s uncle and his wargis!

    I don’t think glon is so far away that hogga and the others couldn’t get to him quickly, since it was within eyesight. Although from what we’ve seen of glon’s destructive side, I wouldn’t be too worried about him.

    Great title–and a great Dire Straits album!

    Once the battle starts, I suspect these two will become The Sultans of Swing (I know, different Straits reference)!

    Good to see Glon back on his feet after Bob’s taser stunt. I know beholders have a lifetime’s practice at calibrating their eye beams…but it IS Bob we’re talking about.

    (And while the bothers are hugging, Glon’s mount eats Lucas’ mount.)
    Glon: "Uh… sorry. Wargs do that."
    Lucas: "………..Still happy to see you… but not quite as much as a minute ago."
    Glon: "Yeah, that’s fair."
