I’m just wondering if in her rage, Liri will be the one to make him nice and squishy. I’m thinking of the first Avengers movie, when Loki meets Hulk! “Puny wizard…”
One of you wonderful people pointed out a couple weeks ago that we passed the twentieth anniversary of this webcomic in July and I didn’t even notice. Well, almost exactly ten years ago, I made a special strip for the tenth anniversary, page 900.
Page 900 – The Challenges Of Zona
In it I included this song that I wrote for Mentl to sing to Zona in the Otherwhen. The lyrics and meter are mine, but every time I tried to put a tune to it it sounded derivative anyway, and so I decided to feed it into Suno and see what AI could do. It’s okay, and doesn’t not sound like what I had in my head. Just so we all know, it’s obviously based on the thing being trained on the work of many other people much more talented than I am, and I would not dare to try to monetize it, but the song as a whole is mine. Sort of collaborating with machine learning.
Warm regards,

You said you’d like to see the little giant’s adventure during the attack. I put this sketch together and am not displeased with the results.
Enjoy!

For no reason I can find, and none that Godaddy can find, it’s impossible for me to post a new comic at barbarian princess Dot Com using my theme Toocheke without getting 503 ERROR. I have added nothing, done nothing in the past month or longer that would cause this. I think the demons from the Deeps have done something nefarious. Until I fix it or redo the entire site using another plugin (again) I will be posting the update in FaceBook.
I owe you all many apologies, and many updates, but we’re finally truly back in the saddle. I am so very grateful for your loyalty and patience, and I won’t bore you with all the details of the heart problems (now completely symptom-free) and the neck stuff and the lung infection (fine at last ) and Jeebus everything in my little old body that seemed determined to break down all at freaking once. I’m back to splitting logs and exercising and all the good, healthy stuff – and, of course, working on Zona!
So here we go! Yes, the dragon tried a flame-strafe and yes, flying top cover Tula was able to shield the frontline of the cavalry and now it appears some kind of hawk has taken a decided dislike to our urtt rider. Imagine that.
More as soon as I can get it finish rendering and doing the magic. Warmest regards,
Hi kids! There was a delay in updates, and I think you ought to know why.
Didja ever want to know what an actual heart attack feels like? Well, with any luck you never will. I, on the other hand, know exactly what it feels like. It’s not like Aunt May clutching her heart and collapsing. It was more like the worst acid reflux you can think of for about 24 hours straight. Went to the doc, and to make a long story short, anyone can have clogged arteries under the right conditions – even me!
This was about a week and a half ago, and yeah, I spent a couple of miserable nights in hospital where they kindly opened my artery and put a nifty little mesh tube in there to keep it open. Did I ever wish there was some kind of wormhole and Tula could come use Erogenian Magick to heal things quicker. Hospital sucks.
Otherwise, I am fine, and looking forward to eventually splitting logs again and doing other macho stuff around home, just like before. But, as I write this I need lots of rest and can’t lift anything heavier than ten pounds. (That means I have to put my little dog or my cat on the scale before I heft them, just to be sure. )
But I am now well on the mend, and look forward to making regular updates – or even more to make up for the lost time.
Soooo – I know the comic is a bit late, but I have not been idle. Nor has Brian. We are now really, truly and officially out of preproduction. The hernia was to transition all the assets, including out titular heroine, into Unreal Engine 5. It was a seemingly Sisyphean task, involving lots or frustration, hard hard work for my dauntless perfectionist animator and some creative innovations to solve the problems that they can absolutely take complete credit for solving.
We are now in production and animating scenes for the final trailer in UE5. Well, why did we go to UE5 in the first place? If you look at this picture, maybe you’ll understand. It’s representative of what you will be seeing on screen, and this is just one frame. UE will show you 60-120 fps of THIS in real time.
I’m extremely pleased. This is much much more than I thought I wanted. She’s going to live, breathe and act out the story in the world we’ve created.

Our ongoing incompatibility issues with the new WordPress are still not worked out, and I am afraid I might have to just redo the whole site again, but until I absolutely have to do that, I have this kludgy workaround.
See at the top menu on the right, “, I have converted the entire history of the web comic into a series of yeary PDF files that any one can download.
It’s not elegant, kind of a brute force workaround, but at least you all now can really start at the beginning and read the whole thing at your leisure.
Many thanks for your patience, and with hopes of a permanent solution in the near future.
In this, the final version we’re doing of this proof-of-concept video, Brian put in more fancy stuff and fixes and attention to wonderful details. Now we dive into production of the actual product, beginning a trailer for the series itself with all the new elements and knowledge we have put together so far.

Your RSS seems to be stuck again on the Love Song page. I just found out today that there were 2 new pages after the fact.

After the page loads, I hit refresh if it hasn’t changed. For some reason the web site provider doesn’t do it.

I suspect Gorhash needs a good squishing… And I know who is best suited to do it! Someone fresh and VERY piss-off!
ThoDanII
his talent piss off people is impressive
