And maybe it’s just me, but her majesty looks like she’s got a bun in the oven. Plus that’s an “interesting” view in the second panel. I wouldn’t want a birds sharp beak that close to my eye!
October 16th, 2009 at 12:22 am
Methinks in combat, she may have some trouble with top-heaviness.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:34 am
It is so cool that I can see Zona and Tula in her face. What an elegant shape too!
Beautifully done, I may not comment every time, but I cannot say how much I look forward to each update and the speculations.
October 16th, 2009 at 12:41 am
Nice raven magic!
The queen is badass.
October 16th, 2009 at 1:04 am
Ah, the bodacious Queen of the Moon Tribe herself. You can see where both our gals get their looks-and figures. Mentl better be really careful if he’s asked to sing again-I think this Queen’s gonna be harder to resist if she’s “charmed” by Mentl’s musical “talents” the way the Queen of Normos was…
October 16th, 2009 at 1:07 am
Uhl: after bearing two children, most of us ladies get a slight paunch. Actually, most of us have a slight bulge there even without the babies. The “dress” just accentuates it. Let’s cut the lady some slack.
October 16th, 2009 at 4:18 am
It’s true even for men, the lower abdominals are very hard to effectively isolate with sit-ups and crunches. Leg-lifts and inverted sit-ups are the only way I’ve found to specifically target those areas.
Not but what I couldn’t do with more work in that area…:-/
October 16th, 2009 at 4:22 am
Have to say, Erogenan magic has to be something if the Queen doesn’t have backache from carrying those around! I wonder how many microseconds it will take the Queen to size Mentl up?
October 16th, 2009 at 4:57 am
Actualy i think the queen will be very supportive.
Her daughters are no fools and if she has choosen
mentl then it is a good choice.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:03 am
The quality of your renders just keeps on amazing me JE, awesome skin tone.
Really amazed on how she will react to Mentl’s figure and looks. Actually that goes for most of the tribe. Will he get “boy’ed” again??
October 16th, 2009 at 7:34 am
And tube tops make a comeback!
October 16th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Hey you know I have always wanted to say this ….but Zona and her mom look alot like Briget Nielson. I’m glad Mentl does not look like Flavor Flav (no offence) nor Arnold or Stallone for that matter. As a leading character you have made him quite uniqe.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:36 am
i think she give ment a fair chance and i bet she b very interested with him cause ment so different from zona past BF that in it self says there something about ment qualities above what the body shows
October 16th, 2009 at 8:53 am
Ippola isn’t preggers, she’s just never been subjected to the Hollywood/Madison Avenue/tabloid propaganda that if you aren’t anorexic, then you’re a bloated sow (Sorry, pet peeve). Yeesh her breasts, are bigger than bowling balls! (probably another side affect of two kids, although if Zona’s any measure they were probably huge to start with).
I think Ipolla will also be more resistant to Mentl’s magic than a normal woman.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Plus Mentl actually knows what he’s doing when he casts a ‘love’ song now so he can probably tone down the effect or focus it on Zona…
October 16th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Mmmm, boobies!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:30 am
Essa rainha dá um caldo!
October 16th, 2009 at 9:32 am
Btw, how old is Ippola? I’m guessing mid to late forties?
October 16th, 2009 at 9:43 am
Oh yeah, Queen Ipola. Now THAt is one beautiful and ‘comfortable’ woman! And a pox upon all you making those unkind and illmannered comments about the Lady of the moon.
October 16th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Thanks for all the comments! Uhl, Queen Ipola is not pregnant. She’s 46 and has had two kids. Even so, I would say that while the lady has some curves (and the JED Standard Issue DD-cups) she still would only be considered rubenesque when compared to her twenty-something athletic daughters.
Moox - As those who caught some of the inferences in “The King Is Dead” might have guessed, Ipola has some magick of her own. Before her dad and siblings got into the out-of-hand imbroglio that cost them their lives, she was never considered for the throne and was actually on the fast track to priesthood. She never took her vows, though, and became the Mistress of the Silver Tower instead.
bluesdifuse - The design for all three of them goes back to the original illustrations I did in the Pleistocene, and no direct resemblance to actors living or dead (or with dead careers) was intended.
As to her attitude to her eldest girl’s new boyfriend, I hope she likes him, don’t you? We’ll have to wait a few pages to see, though …
October 16th, 2009 at 10:17 am
That view is pin-up worthy, in my humble opinion…
Although that appearance does explain some things, seriously, Erogenia must be a world power with those weapons of mass *distraction*. I can definitley see how Ipola can use both wit, strength, and feminine wiles in politics with a body like that.
*drools*
October 16th, 2009 at 10:51 am
OH MY! I think I’m in love. Definitely a MILF!! And now I can see why Tula is a Dream!!
October 16th, 2009 at 11:53 am
Mentl is in for -such- doom once he sees Zona’s mom, with Zona standing right next to him. I’m not sure if the modern American male mind can handle that level of feminine awesome all at once up close ^_^
And Tula’s going to be there too! ^_~
Nice reveal for Ipola, JED; great artwork as always.

The Queen only gets standard issue? Shame on you JED! You mean you didn’t lovingly craft each one just for her? Or is it that you over-ordered on them and you’re trying to get rid of inventory?
October 16th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Addup2 - Well - they’re definitely “surplus …”
=D
October 16th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
Mom’s nice, Zona’s Ok if you like manly looking chicks but Tula is pure hawtness! Mentil I’m sure will be asked to play during the welcome home feast. Very curious to see how that goes =)
October 16th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
First off: JE, I realize you’re partial to the overdeveloped blondes, but thanks ever so much for throwing in some overly developed redhead eye candy for the rest of us! Also: LOVE the comics. it really does rock out loud. Last: I never realized I could ever want to be a CG barbarian before today.
October 16th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Haranek,
If they do and tula don’t nix the idea I hope Mentl thinks up a go song (not a love song, i hope) how about the partridge family “come on get happy” should make things livly at least and with the right intent put everyone in a positive and receptive mood towards him. Your thoughts?
October 16th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Okay, I didn’t want to say this, but it’s eating away at my brain so; With the material texture of that top I couldn’t help thinking, Look at those Cantalopes.
Okay, I said it. Let the jeering begin.
October 16th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I like the fact that she’s got a little pot belly. She’s 46 and a head of state goddamit… she doesn’t have time for tummy tucks.
October 16th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
Pat, was trying to remember if most of what he played was love songs, guess “Wild Thing” could be considered one. I need to go back over the comics & see what all they have been. And if I failed to mention it. Kick ass job as usual JE.
October 16th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
“Shotgun” most certainly wasn’t a love song. And I double co-sign the positive comments made by firegoat and Tricksterson about Ipola’s fine figure-it’s realistic for a head of state with two adult children.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Well, she probably does work out somewhat but come on, without plastic surgery, how many women that age with multiple kids under their belt look that good. maybe a few, who take care of themselves and to whom the genetic lottery has been very kind to but not many. And cantelopes? More like watermelons.
October 17th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
OMG!!! Even after 2 kids, The Queen is a total M.I.L.F.!
October 18th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Holy mammaries! O.O
…well…now we know where Zona got her…attributes..
October 18th, 2009 at 4:41 am
Face and expressiveness - marvellous
Legs, pose, and bird - excellent
Chest area - we’re in the uncanny valley here. Not good.
October 18th, 2009 at 8:19 am
M.I.L.F
October 18th, 2009 at 10:10 am
Seconding Althea.
M.I.L.F.
October 18th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Ooof…..
Just lookin’ at the poor lady gives me a back-ache. I do appreciate the anatomical accuracy, anybody with such marvelous “surplus” would have a little give and a little paunch after 2 babes.
October 18th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Omg, she doen’t look like she’s 46; barely any wrinkles at all!
Very nice page, JED. I like the skirt a lot.
October 18th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I am wondering what mentl will sing as well, and cannot wait to see. The females definitely won the genetic lottery in this family. Barbaric tribes might be a little more vague as to where to slot Mentl into their “family”.
I am assuming everyone caught the gaurd in the gatehouse hopefully in love with our Zona? Can Mentl share? Does he want to? He grew up in the 60’s after all so he might have some necessary background to consider the possiblility. Hopefully this tower gaurd is Not the jealous type, I don’t think so but there is a difference btw loosing the person you love to someone “of your own kind” vs. some strange person who is so completely different.
October 19th, 2009 at 3:36 am
Back when Tula is first introduced there was a bit of dialogue “Tula: What about Rannik? Zona: WHat about him?” or something like that. I thinkl that what Mentl thinks is moot - if Zona isn’t interested in antone else then that’s it!
October 19th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Prof. Mentl didn’t grow up in the 60’s. If you remember, it was his parents that exposed him to the Trogs, Beatles, etc. while growing up. Similar to me. I was born in ‘73 but my Mom played folk guitar. So I grew up hearing Peter, Paul, and Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, etc. from her music collection and her playing. Ad that to 80’s and 90’s Pink Floyd, Queen, Sublime, Barenaked Ladies, Bon Jovi, NIN, and you have what’s probably a similar mix of musical tastes to Mentl.
October 20th, 2009 at 3:47 am
John, JED, dear Artist Extraordinaire…
…When are we going to see the completed Twin Slices of Cheesecake wallpaper? Pweeeeeease? *gives you lolkitty eyes*
~Jean
October 20th, 2009 at 3:49 am
Hmm, something struck me as I was running late this morning… You said the women get a standard double DD, but most seems to be more like F,G or H to me. :/ Of course not knowning how big they are around the chest it’s hard to judge, but I’d still put them over DD. (For the guys: cupsize and chest size are depended on each other).
October 20th, 2009 at 7:39 am
I’d say they’re more H than F or G. H meaning Huge.
*imitates Jean’s lolkitty eyes at Ipola* Any chance of some Ipola wallpapery cheesecake for the guys?
October 20th, 2009 at 11:14 am
*Sigh* you demanding webcomic fans-dude’s struggling with the next page and you’re busy making even MORE work for him. Shame on you
October 20th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Ceiling Vito is Watching You, Macnut. (We don’t have any ceiling cats in this strip, but Vito could technically count, since he’s “watching from above”…)

…Which means we do have a corollary, Basement Shuach…
XD
October 20th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Long time reader, first time poster. Her boobs are *WAY* too big. I know that big barbarian boobs are part of your appeal but, come on, they are borderline obscene. Besides, if everything has giant tits, it kinda loses its impact.
October 20th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Valsorath - thanks for your comment, but I am not changing the design of my characters to the plus or minus to suit anyone’s tastes but my own. I hope you continue to enjoy the comic despite your misgivings. Also, the angle of the render tends to accentuate the queen’s prominent features. The vote incentive gives you a slightly different view, and I hope you’ll check it out.
October 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Besides, if Ipola doesn’t have those…luscious looking…..*drools*
*ahem* If she didn’t have those nice tracts of land, then Zona probably wouldn’t either. Genetics FTW.
October 28th, 2009 at 10:50 am
What’s that tubetop made of tho? Plaster of paris?
November 6th, 2011 at 5:31 pm
She’s attractive and all, but the disturbing thing is she has the look of my best bud’s mom. XD And that’s territory you don’t even think of crossing, even vicariously.
November 20th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
This is my first time reading through the archives, and my first impression is that this woman looks quite a bit like Sigourney Weaver.
