But being as this is a vorpal shovel, the most powerful exotic weapon in the world, and would lop your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
Nice!
Honestly, my headcanon, until the author oughtright states otherwise, is that the shovel is an ordinary spade, the universe just doesn’t have the heart(or is afraid)to correct Madelyn
I believe that it’s just the power of her smite, her smite itself is what makes weapons vorpal.
It’s certainly a more durable spade than most.
At first I wondered why the vampire could suddenly see Yuan-Tiffany…
Then I noticed she seems to have removed her Smiley-Pin. All is clear.
Of course. Miss the chance to deliver that line? You have to be visible to gloat.
I just had a thought, with the name, pin and ponytail, is Yuan-Tiffany taking some traits from Tiffany Et from http://www.precociouscomic.com?
Yuan Tiffany is actually a nickname concieved after she was introduced. See: 5-14 – 14-16 and critical missives #23

Oops.
That was pretty damned funny. ‘Trendy gluten intolerance’, indeed. Shows why this is my favorite webcomic. Is that enough brown-nosing? Hm.
It seems Yuan-Tiffany is a fan of Dirty Harry.
I’m sure the chance to use that line just made her day…
Did you just call Dirty Harry a Western in the lat text? O_o
I was wondering about that, too.
Probably more like Westerns are what Clint Eastwood was known for.
You can’t get much farther west than San Francisco. The next Western shout-out might include a “Book ’em, Danno” reference.
Also, any movie that Clint Eastwood is in is automatically a Western due to his powerful Aura of Westernity. “GET OFF MY LAWN” = Western.
Question: how many of you think that Y.T. actually destroyed the Python?
Observation: If she did, or if she didn’t and keeps it quiet, we still get to get pizza from the gorgon’s place. Wonderful!
Well, I doubt she’d reverse Gordie with him being at the doorstep. I personally wonder if she reversed her own condition.
That pesky empathy might make it hard for her to do so, since she knows what she’d be like without it.
Dirty Harriet. That kind of rocks.
And how did Y.T. know of his gluten intolerance?
That’s what I’m wondering. Well that and wouldn’t the vamp want to avoid anything tainted by her brothers face.
I suspect Schmets. She works here, after all.
That and who knows how long Y.T. has been casing the joint.
Heh, Ezra. It seems like she’ll be the lone recurring villain from this level.
Y.T. probably didn’t destroy the artifact; if it wasn’t shown, then it probably didn’t happen. So. She’s probably just trying to trick Ezra to stop the latter from stealing it again. ‘Course, if she still has it with her, I’m wondering if she’s planning on fixing everything that the vampires messed up? But if she did that, Ezra might find out that the Python is still in-tact.
Remember the dwarf whose axe they were seeking up in their first quest?
Cube ate him. Twice, IIRC. He came back. This is not a comic where resurrection is expensive.
Eh, maybe. She honestly isn’t all that menacing really, the only thing that made her anything of a threat was the invulnerability.
That “bad case of empathy” she came down with?
I’m guessing she didn’t reverse it. Now that she can empathize, she doesn’t like to do arbitrarily nasty things to people…such as unleashing the old Devious Sidewinder Tiffany on them. We’ll find out the first time our protagonists turn their back on her, I suppose. (In Cube’s case, figuring out which side is his back is left as an exercise for the reader.)
On an unrelated note: Vampster Girl just ate a slice of pizza with her brother’s face melted into it? Ew.
It’ll rather be the first time Maddie inhales.
Yeah. I was gagging on that too .. and it’s an office pizza party time. At least no gluten allergies here.
Cube’s an Ooze. He doesn’t have a back.
What can I say, her brother makes a great pizza….
Awesome!
…that is all!…
“A vampire must know her limitations…”
did she mebby stick the “hide from undead” badge on the Python?
Or maybe, used the python on itself to make it invisible to undead…
… I vote that Y.T. Joins the party on a semi permanent basis… Cube gets shit done, rusty… Well, rusts, Mimic’s brains and Y.T.’s hands… They’ll be prestige class before we’ll know it.
Weatherwax her! Weatherwax her!
If you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don’t apply to you.
— “equal rites”, pratchett
What would happen if Y.T. sticks the “hide from undead” pin on Ezra? Would Ezra has a existential crisis, akin to putting a blanket over a boogeyman’s head?
I call Y.T.’s bluff. On destroying the Python that is. She wouldn’t have destroyed it because she’s probably savvy enough to know that it is entirely possible for Koenig to have used the Python on itself to make it no longer its nature to not destroy the universe when it is destroyed. As for why Koenig would have done it… he probably would have thought it as being done ironically.
What I’m wondering is where Anti got to. Maybe she’s trying to pickpocket the gordon. Don’t ask me how she’d carry the money. That’s what python is for. import antigravity
There had been something about this comic that bugged me, and I just figured out what it was. Yuan-Tiffany is using “y’all” in the same way most people use the word “you” – to refer to the singular person she’s talking to. But “y’all” is used only when you’re talking to several people. It’s an informal contraction of “you all”, after all. So as a Southerner (well, more of a transplanted Yankee), it has bothered me that she’s using it wrong.
Since Erza is trying to kill them, I would believe that Mimic and Maddie should have an intrest in her weaknesses as well.
I live in the South myself, and I hear people use “y’all” as singular. The plural, in such cases, is “All y’all.”
Oooooooooooooh Yuan-Tiffany looks PISSED
Did.. Did Erza just assume her brother melted becouse he forgot about his lack of weaknesses?
I need to use that as a mechanic in my game.
Love love LOVE Y-T’s grin in the last panel.
