3440 Flyby Pun
Hi all and sundry!
As you may have noticed, I’m behind on my updates again. This is not because I’ve been attempting this new inking and shading technique, but rather because I started a new storyboarding contract with an animation studio last week and I’m trying to get used to being on an actual full-time schedule again. Many apologies to my readers, my cowriter (t!) and even -if you’ll forgive a bit of weirdness- to my characters for leaving you all suspended like this. I promise I’ll be getting back to it soon. I love drawing and writing this comic, so no fear that it’ll ever be abandoned for long, as you long-time readers well know from this happening from time to time and for you new readers, welcome, be patient, I’ll keep it going as soon as my life finds equilibrium again.

God damnit Eddy
He should have changed keys. Maybe B-Flat would relate more to someone being squashed by a musical instrument?
Is B flat in the key if AAAAAAA?
B Flat is a key all its own.
Now all I can think of is Jumpin’ Jack Flash where the key is the key…
I think that that would be A Sharp..
Your statement has been duly noted, Eddy. Now that we have the problem in scale, you can give it a rest.
That was funny Eddy and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.
Your approval is noted.
I’m sorry, but it didn’t really strike a chord with me.
I agree, it fell pretty flat.
I am not sure if that respected the scale of the problem. But it did sound melodious.
All I know is that the victim was fully diminished. It may be the work of Judge Doom. I saw his handiwork on Roger Rabbit….
They’re just not in tune to this type of comedy.
While the joke fell flat, Eddy’s pun game is pretty sharp; if he keeps it up they’ll be in treble, but I’m done stringing this along as there are no more jokes cleft to use as a bass.
Oh, I’m sure you could strum up a few more if you tried.
You must be a lizard.
After all, you left so many scales on the table.
One must C# if one prefers not to B flat. Perfect pitch being defined by the Bardic Dictionary as the tone made by bagpipes when they strike a wastebasket. We all appear to be at risk of a staff infection, possibly resulting in a permanent clef lip.
Awright t! And BK- fess up: you chose the weapon just so you could use that pun- or a STRING of them
If Rich tries to deny it, he’s a harp.
(Y’know; a big lyre.)
I just hope this a case of confused identity, and that the assassin is indeed an orc woman; one named Hestra.
> Awright t! And BK- fess up: you chose the weapon just so you could use that pun-
He said he wanted the murder weapon to be something ridiculous…
> or a STRING of them
You know, it’s a good thing we *didn’t* plan for any more – we’d have to throw them all out, now!
t!
I’ve seen my share of ridiculous murder weapons, so one that actually could kill barely surprises me anymore 😀
Eddy No Sh-t Sherlock the Mage
Eddie Valiant would tell you that harpsichords falling on someone’s head are not a mere accident.
But is it a major key or a minor? And is Eddy’s standing at Court augmented or diminished by that pun?
So glad to see everyone’s forte on display. But let’s not forget about while all this is going on, the victim is decomposing…
So let’s all conduct ourselves accordionly, and make a concertina’d effort to get to the bottom of this thing!
Forgot to add what a mezzo this is turning out to be.
I like that Eddy’s hat has nothing at all above the brim… as apposed to a traditional wizard’s hat that had nothing at all below the brim.
The sharp tone of the looks Eddy is getting though would indicate he failed to strike a chord with his audience. The scale of that problem may yet get him in treble.
It took a lot of pluck for Eddy to say that.
That joke landed like a falling harpsichord.
buh dump bump tssssss
*cookies for my pooka*
*thick, chewy caramel for eddy*
Oh, thank you again, dear Fang FanGirl! You know the way to a pooka’s heart! *munches, tail wagging happily*
Are you saying it damaged a few organs?
Honestly, I’m on Eddy’s side here. That was a DARN GOOD PUN!
You know who doesn’t like puns?
JEALOUS PEOPLE.
t!
I’m not sure if Eddie even realized it. . .
Why does everybody just keep harping on that pun!
Just the thing when you want to B Flat
But have there really been no key-operated musical instruments in YAFGC until now?
…we need character tags for the musical instruments.
Or at least KEYwords
Oh gosh, how didn’t I think of that? xD
that ended on a sour note
So I came across this webcomic earlier in 2020, and WOW, is this amazing. Just the fact that you’ve been able to keep uploading for so long is incredible.
😀 Very kind! 😀
Well, that IS a good point… Someone may have been trying to levitate the harpsichord up to a balcony, and their magic just gave out… (Someone with an over inflated ego, and not enough skill, I’d say…)
On that note, I think I’ll avoid my normal puns, as they simply wouldn’t be up to scale…
But we should’ve careful of stringing this along with our brass statements, or we might get in trouble for too much sax and violins…
Although, it must have been a rather percussive impact for the one who was killed, but I really shouldn’t stoop to such bass jokes. I mean, you might drum me out of here…
As person who habitually make unintended puns, I feel identified xD
Eddie wouldn’t know a good pun if it jumped up and bit him… even its him unknowingly making it! XD
I’m fast running out of symphony
I don’t know what their problem is, Eddy. You made a sound suggestion. The other should take note to it.
… what?
Congrats, Rich! That’s wonderful news! 🙂
