#701: "Damn my wits!"

[Kurosen]

If my characters weren't so stupid, therefore causing things like today's comic, this story would have ended years ago.

[greed]

"Look we'll just ask him" One of fighter's greatest lines ever

[Mysterio400]

Another fantastic episode of 8-bit theater from Brian.

[Ketsueki]

That was genious!

BM: Gotta use my wits to get out of this one! No! Damn my wits!

[Number 81]

"Black Mage! are you in there!"
"Gotta use my wits to get out of this one!"
"No!"

This is so common it almost made me sick to see it here, but then everything after it with fighter completely blew me away.
Why is it that Brian can always turn old, overused jokes into comedy gold?

[King_black_mage]

It looks like Black mage is going to get some stabitty stabitty action again.

But at the same time white mage is going is going to get some hammer time action, and by hammer time action I mean she is going to beat the shit out of black mage.

[P-Sleazy]

oh god, that was one of the funniest ones ive seen you make. It made me laugh like crazy. I swear, if my parents were home, they'd have woken up.

[talse]

Yeah, thats a pretty fair analysis of your writing style Brian. Does knowing this make me enjoy the story any less? : ponders: no, not really.

The knife means hilarity will ensue.

[Flarecobra]

Brian, you'll have to show us what you look like in glasses.

Better yet, if you find some that looks similor to Swordoplis's pair...

[The Thrower of ICBMs]

Seeing WM so irritated for so long without generous use of her hammer is... strangely satisfying.

And the boxes remind me of the closing scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark, only with computers instead of uber-powerful relgious artifacts.

[Halo2994]

for some reson i can see all this leading to some kind of strange WM/BM makeout sesion.

-halo

[MFok]

Haha, probably cause of the closet :P

WM's expressions everytime Fighter speaks are gold.

[The Wandering God]

BM considers risking WM's revenge just so he can inflict stabbity pain on Fighter. And I gotta admit, that is probably the most gullible thing he's said/done in a while. At least with the portable hole incident, you could kinda see what he was trying to do.

Fighter=gullible. So very, very gullible.

And is BM really that much smarter for the "No." reply? I think not.

The Wandering God

[invghost]

er.. is Bm hovering in the last panel?

[henke37]

No, it is shoot in midaction.
BM at least can associate with WM about one thing, how much you think Figther is stupid. But maybe not if his staberying is seen.

[MetalPsycho]

Is stabbing Fighter worth the inevitable hammer pounding he's going to rescieve?

Short verson: Yes.
Long version: Hell yes.

[Burkion]

Isn't it always?

[YF-23]

Damnit, that was funny!

Poor WM, having to cope with sheer stupidity for so long!

[Amake]

Nobody expects BM is going to stab WB, so wouldn't it be funny if he did? Somehow that seems more serious than funny.

And, he could stab her to save himself from a hammerin', so of course he's going to stab Fighter for being stupid instead and get hammered even more. Because that's more stupid. :)

Aside from stupidity, you are forgetting that BM loves WM, and as a result he would never harm her. The knife is intended to be used on Fighter.

[Amake]

Does he now? He thinks she's hot. He compulsively hits on her. If he met any other girls in the comic we could maybe determine if this has anything to do with her being herself or her being a girl.

He thinks he loves her. Has he even had a conversation with her? Does he know her? Does he know what it's like to love someone, does he have a reference point?

He loves her like an eight year old kid having his first chrush, I'd say.

And eight year old boys tend to punch girls they are in love with. :P

[invghost]

as hes aiming for fighter i think wm will push fighter out of the way to try and save fighter.. we know wm cant resist saving people

[Dasherion]

My guess is that she'll *wacko* BM in mid air, sending him flying through the deathtrap. And then fighter'll say somethin like: "see? he's not in the store room."

btw, it seems BM has gotten smarter. We all remember the "No I'm not undressing you with the power of my mind!" "phew, she doesnt suspect a thing..." Even fighter sensed the stupidity in that one.
Here he does practically the same, but now he instantly realises what he has done. Well done BM!

[Seran]

This was a good comic. Fighter's idiocy has drawn out Black Mage. There's no way that crazy maniac would stab White Mage for any reason at all.

[Trixbeat]

Of course, while WM is distracted from Fighter's stupidity, this may be the best chance of BM staying alive...
for a few more seconds, that is.

[JKLantern]

And eight year old boys tend to punch girls they are in love with. :P

Damn. Apparently I missed some good times when I was eight. Sigh...The pains of a wasted youth...

You know, I can't help but to agree with that. Really.

and... you know what else? I'm getting this sinking feeling about bloodstained white mage robes, and talking about how things were obvious from the start that they'd end up this way...
Then RM would come and heal her. <.<

No. He just murdered several female NPC's(one of which was a "dancer" *cough*)right before this whole Storage room incident.

My money is on fighter blocking the stabbity death with his newfound sword skill.

[Amake]

Well, did he consider these NPCs from a genus perspective? I mean did he care that they were female? NPCs may not even have genders, they're just generic people.

[Saria]

Hehe, I didn't find the first part of the comic so funny, but I did giggle at det end. xD

[happy_turtle]

Well, did he consider these NPCs from a genus perspective? I mean did he care that they were female? NPCs may not even have genders, they're just generic people.

When you think about it, gender was only ever mentioned a few times for NPC's and one was that old man (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=010425) incident.

[Aebliss]

How very, very appropriate that, once Fighter starts talking, you only the 'rage room' part of 'storage room'. ^^; At least, I assume Black Mage isn't coming outside to stab White Mage.

[Flarecobra]

Watch as he stabs WM on accident.

[Steel Shadow]

Watch as he stabs WM on accident.

If this is the answer to 434, I'm going to kill people.

[CDS]

my vote is BM is either gonna attack Fighter and nothing happens to him (fighter that is) maybe something along that line of "He's lashing out again." or misses and takes a stab at WM, which fighter will either block it with his new found skill (probable) or stare dumbly as the incident unfolds (more probable) then heal WM with his newfound White Magic (since Knights got this ability in the game). Or Nothing I expect happens and I marvel at the genius or my head explodes at the nonesence. Alll in all... a good day :D

[Tiako]

434 (http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=040626)doesn't really work in the context, so we can assume that isn't what is going to happen/.

[YF-23]

I bet that BM will miss (Fighter) and fall flat on the floor.

Edit:And the scene in 434 was the trip to mount Gurgu, while the convo above is set in the future, as BM's words do in fact come true. Although he didn't laugh, he found it funny. But 434 doesn't have anything to do with the current episode IMO.

[death_trooper]

I presume whatever he does will result in a smash in the face by a hammer.
Deathtrooper! phylosophist at large!
