Level 13: #27
Chapter: Level 13 — That Old Elvish Spirit
Hi there! A quick announcement: Rusty & Co. can now be found on Bluesky!
Follow me at: https://bsky.app/profile/rustyandco.bsky.social for all the latest comic updates, and artwork and other things I only post there! I hope to see you there!
Good luck with Bluesky; you’re gonna need it. >.>
Please note I just recently got my own Bluesky account. After poking around, I realized it was a bad idea to post there right now. Maybe after things settle down and people are less emotionally charged.
Thank you for the warning. I’ve been there for over a year and it’s been nothing but positive experiences for me. It’s been wonderful reconnecting with other artists and comic creators. I don’t think I’ve seen one abusive exchange on my timeline.
You can do a lot to curate your experience. I muted the letters a e i o and u.
(What I’m saying is, I am on a much needed social media break.)
np thx
So you disemvoweled it?
They took a vowel of non-vilence
Just like on Twitter (note I didn’t say Xitter), people on Bluesky get the timeline they build.
I joined recently trying to build a feed of art to look at, similar to how a friend of mine used twitter. The feed I started out with before I started doing follows and likes gave a pretty rough first impression.
I am glad your experience has been so much better than my own. Again, mine was incredibly recent and short. If I simply had the misfortune of running into an unpleasant experience immediately, then ’twas just my bad luck. Either way, I’ll try again in a few months or so.
My recommendation, never use any social media’s “for you” or “trending” nonsense. Go to a site because there are people there you want to follow and follow them.
If you’re a creator, Bluesky has a good block system. I never block, but to each there own.
Mimic! If you start quoting Grinner, you should realize things are not going to go well.
Yay another person to follow on bsky!
Should’ve glued yourself to the floor, too, Mimic! Have a nice flight!
That would have hurt when a portion of the floor was ripped up along with him.
so close and yet sofa
and now for some real couch surfing
*Groan* A double-whammy of punniness. I can’t decide if I love or hate it.
If Mimic could use magic, would that make him a casting couch?
I don’t know but I wonder if he will be a fainting couch soon
That’s a very nice outfit on Roxy. She should wear it again sometime.
Technically I think this is a fantasy sequence so she likely has never worn it in the first place.
I’m not sure what you’re seeing that implies this a hypothetical event.
Unless you mean that the entire comic series itself is a fantasy sequence, in which case, touché.
And now the talk option has been exercised. They need something ingenious with bananas.
Maybe the bananas won’t work either and they’ll have to beat him in a rap battle.
Banananananana cream pie to the face?
(Sorry, I’m never quite sure when to stop spelling bananananana.)
Typo in panel 5: should be “Aww, why’s my board all gnarly?”
Any skaters in ther comments want to weigh in? Is Skippy’s description genuine skater jargon, a parody of skater lingo, or somewhere in between?
We’ve already been warned that things get — divergent after they pick up stuff from other worlds.
IANAS (i am not a skater) but all you really need to know is someone wasn’t waiting their turn, so skippy here metaphorically steps on the gas to beat them to the punch and show them up. I guess he then couldn’t complete the trick, got killed, then somehow dropped gracefully straight back onto his board as a corpse. I don’t know how he knows all the details though.
At least there’s some information to go on from this attempt. Maybe the next step should be asking the local skaters about a death at Dead Dwarf’s Gulch, maybe find the one who screwed with the ghost’s stunt and got him killed.
If I were coming up with ideas, I’d try to beat the record.
I’m sure Cube could out gleam him…
(Ancient ‘Gleaming the Cube’ reference for you kids…. look it up! And get off my lawn! /shakes cane)
Perhaps you could couch that differently?
