Sounds cool, Tamyra.

Am I the only one totally failing to follow the action in the Dies Horribly sub-plot in Goblins at the moment? I'm not good enough at reading action comics. It all just looks like various shots of tent-flaps and chained people holding on to things. I grasp from the dialogue that it's all falling apart, but apart from that I don't get it.

I was wondering too - as far as I got it, the tent thing in which the slaves were chained was standing on a platform on very high poles over the edge of a cliff. They killed the goblin/orc warriors who were sawing through the poles to make the thing fall over the cliff, but not quite in time; it is now dangling over the edge of said high, high cliff on the remnants of a few poles which are ripping apart. The giant lizard guy is hurt, and trying to climb over the edge of the cliff, shaking off the rest of the tent in the process, and probably also hitting the remaining poles with its long tail. One by one, the inhabitants of the cliff whose chains come loos drop now into the tents former walls, which are, now that the tent has dropped 90° over the cliff, lying parallel to the faraway ground, like a hammock; the rags are not stable enough to hold people's weight, and as they are ripping apart, people drop to their deaths. Dies Horribly can't do anything but sting with his magical hand, and as fox falls, he pierces her up like a butterfly. I wonder if she'll slide down the sting all the way to the ground, on her twice pierced leg... OUCH!
Even if the drive upwards from the drops of blood with the beatles into the tent was cool, it was a little confusing. Here's an outside view of what has happenee to the tent: Goblins - Tuesday, April 10, 2007

The giant lizard guy, K'seliss, isn't hurt. He is bloody from ripping someones head off.

I am lying on the floor, holding my aching belly, as I type this. Somehow. I laughed so hard!

I got a link from John Kovalic's myspace blog I'll try to figure out how to get one. I haven't been able to figure this out, I did find the author is Robin D. Laws Robin D. Laws Hey maybe I figured it out.
