#504: "Why would it explode?" - Page 8

Slackbot · 01-19-2005, 10:43 AM

Comic funny. Make me laugh inside and smile outside.

One thing that struck me was how useful and proactive BM was. The group is endangered, he does something about it as opposed to just being evil-jerkwadish. I guess when the rest of the Usual Gang of Idiots isn't nearby, BM doesn't get distracted by his urge to kill them.

Amazing how Bikke doesn't notice all these spells cast by someone standing just pixels away. I pronounce his name Bee-keh, BTW, because that's how the romanji comes out. (I also pronounce Vivi "vee-vee" and Quina "ku-ee-nah." Yes, I'm aware that that's strange.)

That's a strange pronounciation? Thats how everyone I've ever met has pronounced those. Oh well.

I loved this comic. I always supposed that Flare and Meteo would count as level 9 spells, but I guess this shows us that they're not. I'm guessing level 8. BM's uncharacteristic heroness put a smile on my face and I like the almost exclusive use of the overworld sprites. 17 thumbs up.

that doesnt really fit him though. It kinda sounds like a name you would give a little girl. I preferre to pronounce it Bike. Its the one that makes the most sense to me.

Bikke just wanted to hit the iceburgs to cause them to explode. I mean, he knew it was Exploding Tuesday (which, from now on, is the second Tuesday January), so he knew he couldn't crash his boat against them...

Either that, or he's stupid...

Bikke? Stupid? Impossible! I loved this comic, exploding tuesday is now my favorite thing ever. The last panel was just bloody hilarious!

It is really simple how BM got the teleport spell. Spells are sold in towns. They have been to a town since Gurgu. There was a time in said town when they were all seperated. We know what RM and Fighter were doing, but they didn't say what Thief and BM were doing. It is easily possible that he picked up a teleport spell there.

Dear God, I literally fell of my chair laughing before I got done reading the comic. A long string of hilarious incidents and lines piled on each other with frightening speed. . . it just made me lose control. Wonder what would happen if he'd cast Ice-3 on an iceberg.

And the big finish with the side-line comment. . . very Love Hina, I think, or maybe I've read that too much. Uh, except for the randomly exploding iceberg, which in itself is funny on so many levels. WAS it explosion tuesday? Witness:

I really have to ask, did you read my friend's comic mr Clevinger?

Oh, and to the scheming, probing, speculating masses I must point out Kurosen's post on the first page. (First page if you use 40 posts per page, anyway.) I felt that the mass of spells BM cast was - in part - a stab at those people who compulsively keep track of the characters's abilities, and the post adds salt to injury: They all know (or don't know) whatever spells suits the joke at the moment.

Why would BM want to teleport everyone across the chasm at gurgu and another thing, when they were in Gurgu, why didn't RM just cast group-teleport like he did when they fought the zombie-orc thing?

Zenigata_III · 01-19-2005, 05:24 PM

Oro?

Well, of all the situations, why diddn't BM just stab Bikke?
Seems like the most logical thing to do!

And I too wonder what Vilbert has planned...

Kurosen · 01-19-2005, 05:33 PM

Judging by what Bikke mentions in his first line of dialogue, it seems the food poisoning plan from the previous episode was probably Vilbert's.
