Interesting, they remind me of those twin gal’s that were a short side story. Uh oh, Liri’s got the bloodlust now. They really pulled all the stops here. Then Mentl shows up and starts singing “Goodness gracious great balls of fire” flame shoots from his hands setting those 2 and all the Urrts ablaze… One can hope anyway.
Yes, Zona has actually used that phrase before in the comic. And of course she picked it up, and other bits of Yiddishkeit, from Mentl and his family.

As a lifelong student of fiction (and with an MA in Creative Writing and MA in Teaching English Language Arts to back it up), what I find fascinating is that we, the audience, know that Zona, Liri, Mentl, et al., will win the day. The outcome is predetermined based on the type of story it is. What we don’t know, as an audience, is HOW they’ll win the day. It really says something about the human condition that, in our storytelling, we care far more about the journey than the destination (so long as the destination doesn’t feel like a rug pull). That’s from a literary perspective, of course. From an analytical perspective, we know that:
a) Mentl is super powerful and hasn’t shown up yet;
b) other powerful allies, such as Vito, haven’t shown up yet;
c) (and, in my opinion, most importantly), Mentl and Zona’s daughter (Rachel? It’s been a hot minute) exists and knows both of her parents.
(Analyzing a barbarian soap opera webcomic – gods, can you tell I used to work in national intelligence. I have a very weird background, I know.) Anyway, combined, these factors indicate that the Moon Tribe alliance will win out in the end. The question that remains is HOW that will happen. And that is a question I have been tuning in for… *checks watch* …over 17 years to discover the answer to.
I hope your health and general life situation continues to improve, JED. You do good work, and I’m quite sure there are a lot of people who are looking forward to the finale of your passion project (of which I am most certainly one).

Heh. Stay tuned, kids. Things are about to get interesting, I think.

‘Oy vey’? Zona, did you pick that up from Mentl? O.o
“They aren’t just ogres. They are *goyim* ogres!”

Well, Liri may be about to conduct a Two-for-one Bris!

Of course, what else? 😛 Liri is ready to test herself and her shiny new weapons.

I gotta say, I like Liri’s attitude. I sure as Hell hope it doesn’t bite her on the sweet ass of hers!

“Liri Smash..”
