#808: "The usual fee."

Kinda figures, really.

So, all that was for nothing eh?

Monkeybonk · 02-13-2007, 12:23 AM

Eh. While I sorta-kinda get it, it's like you forgot to put some sort of formatting or something is out of order, because the lack of any 'flashback' indicators means this comic almost makes no sense at all.

And I don't even get the "It'll cost ya", and then THIEF says "The usual fee".

Really confusing...

Am I the only one who thinks the text layout in panel seven is a little backwards?

Also, ha! Thief actually screwed himself over this time.

Monkeybonk · 02-13-2007, 12:28 AM

Wait, NOW I get it.

The first 4 panels are in the present tense. The next 4 are a flashback to about 2 minutes ago, when Red Mage asked how to do the quest. They needed a map, so Rogue charged his team to use his 'contacts' (Thief) to procure a map for a fee. Which was then given right back to the Light Warriors.

Really badly formatted because it's not all that clear....

Hehe... Thief is the seedy, dark, underbelly of everything, isn't he? He's awesome. Like The Flash.

No one had trouble reading it on my end, but I'll post an updated version that "walks you through" the timing of it.

I thought it was pretty easy to read but I might just be an idiot or something.

Rocketlex · 02-13-2007, 01:07 AM

Ah-hahahaha!

I'm sorry, that was the only response to this I could think of. Just a perfectly hilarious episode.

Thief's bit seems a bit backwards, maybe move the first text bubble above the second, otherwise I laughed hard, and loud, and I'm at work...
