Tiffany "Red" ThorntonRed was a boy until a new genie tried to get Melvin a girlfriend. That's when the genie turned Red into a girl so Melvin could practice talking to girls, and forgot to turn her back before disappearing. Red is hopeful that her situation is only temporary. Comics: 226 |
So his big plan was just to have his warriors all charge at once… don’t know why I expected something overly complicated…
Nerd Blob in a Federation Star Fleet tee that exposes his belly button.
Must die.
BJ, you fumble this, and all who witness shall mock your ineptitude in perpetuity.
I now have the urge to make Liam lick his own button lint!
Pfah. His belly button lint is likely flavored with Cheetos dust and well lubricated with ketchup.
He likely considers his belly button to be an emergency food reserve.
Much as I think of my mustache when eating soup.
Well…I’ve just thrown up in my own mouth, thank you for that.
HAHAHA!!! I can smell AND taste it now….I mean..
What kinda soup?
Did somebody say Cheeto dust?! Mmmmm…. tasty. It’s what I imagined mice farts would be made of! 😀
Hey, it’s a gutsy call to take the gamble. If it works, you’re a risk-taking genius. If it doesn’t, you’re the village idiot. Unfortunately for BJ, he’s the village idiot.
Wasn’t this the same strategy implemented by Raymond Stantz Ph.D. in the New York Public Library? That didn’t work out so well. I at least hope he yelled “GET HER” right before.
What could it be? Confusion spell?, makes barbarians attack each other; Spike pit?, rushing hoard falls into pit and are impaled; BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!? (F me, I hate YuGiOh) LOL
Probably something that uses the gang’s strengths(powerful rushing attack) against them (a trap or redirect of some sort). I don’t play card games, my knowledge is based on watching people play hearthstone on youtube. It’s entirely possible I sound like a dumbass. (lol)
1 month of updates-COMPLETE!
Yes, congratulations…looking forward to what’s ahead!
^_^
MELVINITES ASSEMBLE! One month down, ands eons to go! Let the chronicles be forged in all antiquity!!!!!! 😀
I…didn’t get the memo about the programming requirement for Melvinites.
At least you don’t expect us to be Malvernites. I have no desire to be mad and doomed.
Oh, wait…
And well done, thus far.
I’d love to see the story go faster, but that just means I’m interested in what happens next.
Oh my god that nerd is cliched as hell. So perfect!
Why is is called the fighting V when you only have theee characters? Shouldn’t it be called the fighting III
I especially like Liam making a horse noise instead of the word “nigh.” It makes him seem uber nerdy; he’d pronounce the big words correctly, but spell them wrong on the interwebs. Nice work in your first month all! ^_^
But, the word balloons are the characters speaking, so that means Liam actually *said* the word “neigh” instead of “nigh.” I think that may be an author error. Or maybe not. Maybe Liam tends to use words just slightly off from what he means. Sort of trying to show off his vocabulary, but getting it wrong.
It was author error, but can you blame me? I am a pony after all. 😉
I thought about you being a pony when I read that and figured it was something which was intrinsic and was bound to rear it’s head at some point. The vision of Liam as a nerdy chubby horsey got me through my day at work!
I like the idea of the guy making malapropisms like that. It shows that either he has a sense of hummer, or isn’t as smart as he presumes.
😉
Yes indeed, he has a sense of hummer: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/Hummer_H2_front_20070928.jpg
lol, Couldn’t resist!
Reminds me of the first time I played WFB in a game store when I was a kid. Some dude wandered over to talk about how awesome Chaos was. Although he pronounced it “chows”. It was about ten minutes before any of us figured out what the hell he was talking about, and then we burst out laughing. Then his mom came over to defend him, which I don’t believe has ever made anyone look better.
In retrospect, I feel bad for the kid. At the time, I was always happy to find people that were significantly dorkier than my friends and I to boost my fragile, early-teen ego.
Though I’m sure that was unintentional, and I know the ass part would not make the same sound as the head part, I’m enjoying thinking Liam neighs a nasally, weasely, little neigh.
It was my error and it is fixed now.
I like the “neigh”! It’s hilarious! The vote is in, the neigh’s have it! 😀
Yeah, like the writer has anything to say about this.
You’ve heard about the gullible Hollywood starlet trying to make some influential friends around the movie lot? Yeah, she was so dumb, she was sleeping with the writer.
Gee, I thought the Melvin, BJ and Clarance where nerds. But, Liam make them look like the popular kid and the one to be like. Liam is the nerds nerd, like on stairodes and I can see why they don’t like him.
Stairoids? Do you mean “steroids” or something sorta “stair-like”?
Sorry, with the “neigh” discussion, above, I kinda got carried aweigh. 😀
Yelp. My spelling not so good some times.
With a yellow Star Trek shirt, maybe Liam is Captain Kirk in his own mind. Remember what incredible luck James Tiberius had with alien bimbos across the galaxy?
Of COURSE Liam will try to beam up Red!
Due to popular outcry, the Neighs have it! I have corrected the correction. ^_^
Aye Lassie, ’twas t’ right move ye did.
THAT’S LIAM?! With the build up in the last comic, I was expecting… someone more well… cool.
Like Ash Ketchum vs his rival Gary Oak. The same, yet opposite..
Not that I’m complaining. I was just REALLY surprised (I almost fell off my chair).
BTW, is that guy with orange hair in panel 2 wearing a Wolfpac T-shirt? NICE!
Thing is, Liam might well be a tactical genius when it comes to table top games.
Is it really tactical genious when all bj did was the equalivent of a suicide charge towards you?
I was hoping someone would see that! Even more rewarding that it was you, buddy! 😉
Happy Easter! Enjoy the eggs! >•.•<
Happy Easter to you as well.
Leeeroy Jeeenkins!!!!
Will there be a Sunday update today?
Yep. 🙂
