Episode 556: "That'll save me the effort of disassociating your bones from your body"

[Trixbeat]

Well, at least he had the honour of putting the parts together again. i.e. the chewing gum and prayers.

Sarda: "Like this one. Looks kinda important."

That line cracked me up. ^.^

What an extraordinarily silly thing to say. Don't you know whenever you say that people will come running from thousands of miles away just to prove you wrong?

Best part of the entire comic was "Foreword by Steve Allen", because I actually know who that is.

[Number 81]

"modus Transporti"...
I assume that it is supposed to be latin, correct endings. -us, nominative singular (Subject). -i, genitive singular (possesive, e.g. viri, of the man or the man's). Although, Transpotus is not latin, modus is. But it might be a common phrase, I don't know...

Great comic anyway.

Steve Allen apparently wrote a LOT of books. They spoofed this on The Simpsons a few times (Mr. Burns's vampire book also has a foreword by Allen), which is probably where Brian got the idea.

I do have to wonder where they're going next. I know the game guides I've read recommend you do the whole Bahamut/Castle of Ordeal/class change thing next, but the comic doesn't always follow game order. I WOULD like to see Brian's version of Bahamut, though.

Best line, IMO:

:bmage: There is something about this "new" airship that fills me with equal parts dread and rage.

Classic!

Also: "It seems absolute power isn't quite enough to find a willing publisher." Nuklear Age reference, perhaps? (Since I seem to recall Brian having some trouble in that respect)

Thanks to my parents and PBS, I was a Steve Allen fan years before the Simpsons. Needless to say I was always fond of their digs at his, shall we say, prolific career.

Didnt he marry his daughter? Or am I thinking something else?

[Skyshot]

You're thinking of Woody Allen, and it's his adopted daughter. (At least, I hear she's adopted. It's creepy either way.)

Ahem. This episode was awesome. Supposedly Brian will be doing the whole class change thing at some point, and that's what I was expecting here. It's extra funny because I was looking for something else.

Also, I liked Black Mage's line about the modus transporti. It's fun making up fake Latin phrases. I have my own: pro maxima.

Finally, this clears up what I was asking in the last thread about where White Mage was in relation to the Light Warriors, temporally and spatially speaking. I am no longer confused.
