The Mansion of E :: Part Eight: New Days
Sylvester wasn't sure if everyone knows what a page is. The fact that the Sneeches have six arms and eyebeams is due to my originally making a throw-away gag in a strip 20 years ago. Some readers no doubt already know this, but it's been 20 years, so you all get a refresher. That's Scrawl the Pale "speaking" last. The Trog is the one seen here. Yes, the look of the species has changed quite a bit. Inspired by a comment by reader Sic. I don't want to incur the wrath of Cap'n Hamster, so here's a belated celebration of Talk Like A Pirate Day for 2023. Comshaw and Skradt had their conversation just twelve years ago! Sylvester is speaking metaphorically; the Royal Yurpsland University does not accept glowgems as payment. [Crumpton the Candle Monk was last seen here.] Helipath birth cycles were previously discussed here and here. It was pointed out to me that I was being repetitive with the original version of this comic, so the dialogue got edited a bit. The council members have been listed and described for the current gang of protagonists starting here. These two last appeared here. Ploot (and Chuw) were last seen about here. This group was last seen here. This guy has appeared here before. And I try to stick to the artistic philosophy that if someone has appeared previously in my strip, however briefly, and not got bitten in half or blown up, then they are still out there doing things and might resurface someday. Sluggy Freelance has probably been a bad influence on me in this regard. The Flittermouse and Fantod are playing a game called Quincunx.
