One time in Persia……. Is a great opening line for a story.
It’s about time Lazy ass started earning his keep. Speaking of which i wonder what type of food Kazom eats? Human or cat food?
He doesn’t have to eat at all, but if he does eat it’s not going to be cat food.
Does he have a cat box? Or does he just magic that crap out of himself?
Inquiring minds want to know!
If he does have a cat box do you think he would use it?
Don’t know. This is the same question we might ask of Red: How much of her behavior will be due to Clarence’s mind, and how much due to Red’s body?
Same-same, Kazom’s cat-body may have cat desires.
People are surprised Kazom likes video games, and is good at them–but how much of that is due to FPS being glorified laser-beam or yarn chasing?
Likewise, his cat body may want to dig in the sand for a bit, then cover his doings up.
Then, of course, he uses his magical powers to clean the box.
That multi-color effect in Kazom’s last panel speech bubble looks pretty cool, but it’s also fairly hard to read the characters around the color transition.
Wouldn’t want it to become a habit, but it’s quite effective in context.
Remember, there is always method to the madness… well, most of the time… well, some of time…
I like to think of the hat full of random ideas on my studio floor, as an oricle of devine guidance! ;D
Congrats on whoever it was that saw Kazom was going to give tactical advice.
And a little consolation about Dad.
All without expending a single grain of genie dust.
Yup, he doesn’t have to use any magic energy to give a bit of advice should he desire to, plus he got to have fun telling his stories to Melvin. Even without giving magical aid, Kazom has still lived forty times as long as the average human and presumably has lots of knowledge and experience, if not actual wisdom.
…If Melvin starts using “Kazom tactics”… I wonder if Liam will expect it.
I wonder what the story was, how well it was communicated, and how Melvin will interpret and employ what he’s been told.
Also, how many times has Melvin looked to Kazom for advisement?? How’d those turn out?
The tactic will be conveniently named “That One Time, In Persia”
I want the hear the rest of that Persia story 🙂
The ‘food’ Kazom is gnawing on is titled “Wizard Log”. There’s a disturbing undercurrent just in the name . . .
and Melvin’s drinking Smite. So much for product placement :p
This response brought to you by Wizard Log. Taste the chewy, salty goodness of our magic wand! Now with cream filling!
I hate that feeling of loosing again and again, having no solutions, and no light at the end of a tunnel. It’s difficult enough as adults when we have, potentially, gained the perspective of knowing that mole hills are mole hills, and winning and loosing all depends on our perceptions.
There is a part of me which still longs for the comfort of my mother when it hurts.
What I think would be really interesting would to find out that Liam is cheating. It would be virtually impossible for someone to win all the time and just happen to have the right card all the time to cover every attack and beat every one virtually every time. Liam would have be cheating some where.
That probably depends on how the game works. Someone brought up in a previous comment that Liam sounds like the kinda person who has the money to buy lots of different packs of cards, to hoard all the powerful ones. I had that impression of him too. If they are anything like the trading card games we’re familiar with…they are probably expensive. Especially to kids who aren’t priviledged and/or entitled. Liam may have a consistent advantage over many/most of the kids who enter these tournaments there.

I wonder of LSH is in this story and was *bleeped out in the “between part”
LSH?
What Does LSH mean?
Laughing Senile Hermit?
Little Shop of Horrors?
League of Sexy Hairdressers?
“Lord Shit Head”, aka Lord Guano.
“Like Aladdin, but shittier.”
Yeah, I’m’a gonna take that as a hint.
I’m wondering if Melvin got into RPGs/Fantasy works due to Kazom? Or was it the other way around? How long have the two been together?
We don’t know yet, but given the degree of familiarity between Kazom and our trio, probably at least several months before Jean met them.
