Love it, as always.
gotta love how yatta can’t keep his mouth shut, I’m sure the ladies will find something to keep his mouth occupied on!!
great work JED, don’t ever stop, and we won’t stop droppin in to see what you do.
January 16th, 2010 at 12:13 am
Love the page and that older priest speaks very wise words to Yatta.
January 16th, 2010 at 1:21 am
*chuckles in glee / happy sighs*
Methinks the high priest has decided to take the Idiot Savant under his wing a tiny titch, probably in an effort to keep him from putting too many cloddish feet in his big Kivalian mouth…
January 16th, 2010 at 1:46 am
Errr, ‘quit while you are behind’? Well, if it isn’t a mistake I kinda like the irony. ^^
Yatta-ta seems fully reverted to fool mode. I suspect it will be a while before he lets himself be drawn again, or at least that something serious needs to happen before he lets that hidden part peek out again.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:15 am
Hmm. I think I’ve changed my mind about Yatta gettin’ with one of the Erogenian ladies. I forgot about his chronic foot-in-mouth disease, the symptoms of which tend to get worse with increasing intoxication.
He stands a very good chance of “talking” himself out of a good time with the local ladyfolk, especially once the alcohol starts flowing freely. Let’s hope I’m wrong and that intoxication makes him LESS of a buffoon, not more. Hope you folks saying the buffoonery is a charade turn out to be right…
January 16th, 2010 at 2:27 am
My guess is that Yatta-ta will be encouraged to get very drunk, then the younger bachelors will play an elaborate and embarrassing prank on him. It wouldn’t even have to be one he detects right away. Like teaching him words for a common greeting in the Erogenian that actually mean, “I am stupid” or “My bladder leaks”.
January 16th, 2010 at 3:32 am
And they lived happily ever after !
At least untill the morning after
Would be great if the first thing Yatta
sees in the morning is Tula.
He would be embaraced as hell.
Hmm, maby he will shows some other
skill at the party. Can really see Yatta
and Mentl doing a duette by the bonfire !
January 16th, 2010 at 6:40 am
to The Macnut well, that dark mead might give him a chance: if he’s slurring enough they’ll have to guess what he’s saying and put better words into his mouth…
That was fantastic again though, as always. A feast! the perfect way to end an adventure - although I feel that the bard here won’t be gagged and tied up to a try and threatened by the blacksmith if he even _thinks_ about making music
January 16th, 2010 at 8:23 am
@Oddcodicologist, I don’t suppose Ipola is worried about the sky falling on her head - though I suppose the blacksmith starting a fight by telling the fishmonger his fish are stale might happen (assuming there is a fishmonger that is)
January 16th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Heh, nice.
Yat again manages to deliver the best faceplam for the situation.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:41 am
@hans
Aye, I do believe Yatta suffers from what is popularly referred to as “foot-in-mouth” syndrome.
Too bad the only known cure is several sharp strikes on the side of the head >.<
January 16th, 2010 at 11:37 am
Excellent! So about the feast….
January 16th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Nice way to end a story arc…with a smile on everyone’s face.
January 16th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
um, the person on the far right in the first two panels. Is that suppose to be a guy or a girl?
Oh, and an enjoyable comic. The story has drawn me in. Well done.
January 16th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Actually I think getting him drunk would be a good thing. You see I think the pompous ass is just a fqacade. I suspect the real yatta-ta is a nicer and much sadder person and that some metheglin (where have I heard that name before?) might let that out.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
‘To the tables, everybody and stuff yourselves!’
Straight out of the Robin Hood with Errol Flynn.
January 16th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Lol, another great page JED…also, is that aqua-man I see on the right corner? XD
January 16th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
The Old Hack, I don’t think that’s a mistake on the high priest’s part. I’m quite sure, with his (JED reported) jolly nature, he meant to say exactly that…
January 16th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
@ Valashar-that is still my most favorite Robin HOod of all-Errol Flynn. I still want to find it and re-watch.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
@Jean: You are most likely right.
I now find myself wondering when our friend the count Tethik will arrive, and if he and Yatta-ta know each other. The feast would seem good timing for him to show.
January 16th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
Metheglin is welsh mead.
Bring on the booze!
January 17th, 2010 at 2:38 am
It may just be me, but his hand seems to be straying a little too far back and to the right.
He better think twice if it is, or else he might be about to lose another fight with Zona…
January 17th, 2010 at 5:19 am
I was impressed at how you have made subtle changes to the expressions between panels 1 and 2. very nice
January 17th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Just had a moment of mad inspiration: Tethik shows up, Yatta gets a stunned expression on his face and says, “Dad?” Hey, Tethik might have tried the other team once.
January 17th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
@Ben: “It may just be me, but his hand seems to be straying a little too far back and to the right.
He better think twice if it is, or else he might be about to lose another fight with Zona…”
Oh there won’t be a fight in that case. There’ll just be one punch from Zona, then Yatta “sleeping” through the rest of the feast….and waking up, like three days later.
January 17th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
@tricksterson and @Elfguy
Metheglin is mead with added spices. Mead is fermented honey water. In the very northern and very southern climates, where grapes do not grow, honey was the sugar source used for alcohol (Vikings drank themselves silly before going on their standard rape/pillage missions). Additionally, mead with fruit is a melomel, but specifically, mead with apples is cyser, and mead with grape is a pyment. There are varieties of mead also made with malted grains is called braggot (bracket or brackett).
Easy to make, fun to drink, especially out of the skulls of your defeated foes. http://gotmead.com

I agree with Tricksterson that there might be some connection between Yatta and Tethik. But didn’t he swear on his fathers grave or something earlier? I think he said his dad is dead earlier someplace.
January 17th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Oooh - and even though this is way “out where the buses run” as Mentl says, wouldn’t it be cool if Ginsh is still alive (doubtful at best) and has been trying to track down her “Master” and somehow ended up hooking up with Yatta? They could be adorably damaged together.
Well maybe that’s just my twisted mind at work again.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:13 am
Ah, metheglyn nice.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:45 am
I love how the High Priest tells Yatta “stop digging son, you’re in deep enough already”. XD Good eats, good drinks, good times!
January 18th, 2010 at 3:20 am
@Shyster: Yatta swore on his father’s soul. While this does sound rather portentous and could lead one to think that the poor man may be dead, it isn’t quite conclusive, I think.
January 18th, 2010 at 12:14 pm
I’m kind of leaning towards the pompous ass being a facade theory myself, now. Since Yatta-ta really is a great swordsman, I can’t imagine him getting those skills on his own. He had to have had great teachers, and I can’t believe he’d be able to run that personality in front of some real swordmasters as a pupil without getting his ass kicked multiple times, or kicked right out of the school. Either way, I don’t think he’d be able to keep that personality, he’d have to learn a more sensible one.
January 18th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Well, there you have it. As Blackadder said in “Back And Forth,” “Rather a spectacular return to form after the genius moment. …”
The next few pages are going to very talky. Talky-talky-talky! Hope you can savor the character-building. But as we speak, I am cooking up some fan service and extras for you.
Nick - Thanks a lot, of course! And we shall see what romantic success awaits for Ir Anis’ favorite son.
Metroknight - Serrin’s the wisest man in the Moon Tribe. He’s also an old joker.
Jean - I don’t know about “under his wing” per se, but he has taken a liking to him. He thinks Yatta-ta is a riot, and Serrin always loves a good laugh.
The Old Hack - An old vaudeville line. Just a little wit that no doubt sailed straight over Yatta-ta’s head. And Yatta-ta’s got an interesting background, only a little of which you shall see in the coming pages.
The MacNut - Well, if anyone can snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory - socially, that is - It would be Yatta-ta.
Retiarius - One thing about Erogenian culture is that there is a strong social sanction against head games and anything that smells of deception and lying. Playing frat tricks like you describe on anyone are, by their nature, built on taking advantage of someone by telling them something that isn’t true. So, not even an asshole in Erogenia would do something like that to anyone who wasn’t a blood enemy. If they don’t like Yatta-ta, what they’d do to humiliate him would be to pick a fistfight, or a drinking contest, or some feat of strength or skill that they know he’ll look bad at, up to and including sexual feats. Now, wouldn’t that be fun for all concerned?
Gremalkin - Well, if he goes for Tula he’s gonna have to get in line. As to bardic skill? Mmmm- possible.
OddCodicologist - Well, we’ll see how he handles the metheglin, but I don’t think he’ll be so sloppy that you can’t understand what he says. I also don’t think they’re gonna tie Mentl to a tree after essentially giving him the key to the city. If they want him to shut up, Zona’s got excellent ways to do that where he’ll have no cause to complain.
Addup2 - There are blacksmiths and fishmongers. And fights are regular and recreational.
hans - It’s a gift.
Sleepinin - “boot to the head!”
Professor 61771 - Yes - that’s tomorrow’s page.
Blues_diffuse - Yes, everybody’s smiling. Time for the bomb to go off! The airplane explodes! The Martian tripods appear over the horizon! Dogs and cats living together!
Long Walk - He has a beard. He’s a guy who has big pecs. And thanks very much. It’s all about the story. And big boobs. Boooooooooobs ….
tricksterson - It’s a lead pipe cinch that Yatta-ta of Ir Anis is going to get lit. Whether it turns him into Clark Bent or Superass you will see tomorrow.
Valashar - Go to the head of the class. I was wondering whether anyone would get that - and you guys never disappoint! =D My favorite movie of all time and still the best version of Robin Hood ever filmed.
zangoules - Thanks very much. And no, it isn’t Aquaman. It’s Oliver Queen on his day off.
Jean - Right!
Mish_Lady - They did a great new DVD release a couple years ago. Struck from the original three-strip Technicolor prints, and digitally mastered. Sharper than I have ever seen it!
Elfguy - To paraphrase Ben Franklin, mead is proof that the gods love us …
Ben - No, he’s not.
A: It’s just the way he’s swinging his arm as he walks at that particular moment.
B: It would be a bit puerile to try to cop a feel after all that has just happened, and so far that doesn’t seem to have been part of Yatta-ta’s particular childishness.
C: If it *were* to happen, Zona would assume at this point it was an accident and do nothing. If it were to happen *again,* I’m thinking a reeeeelly painful finger-lock to balance the cha.
taltamir - Thanks! It just takes a little attention and patience.
tricksterson - It’s certain that Tethik has been with at least one woman - his lady wife, Countess Marichina. She’s back at Dell Keep, and the two are friendly and do their duty by each other, but so far no legitimate heir.
nusigf - Excellent summary, thank you! I myself have brewed a metheglin with cinnamon and cloves. Also, one year I made a cyser that kicked my ass completely and painfully. That was a New Year’s to remember.
Shyster - As The Old Hack says a bit further down, Yatta-ta swore “on my father’s soul,” which is suggestive, but not definitive. As to a Yatta-ta/Ginsha romance? Well, there’s a picture for the Hot Stuff page, eh? =O
God - I think so. Cider and metheglin are my favorites, apart from Rum.
reddwarf - Serrin’s being avuncular, something he excells at.
MaxBigfoot - Well, he does get serious once the swashbuckling begins …
January 18th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
great stuff mate , so i guess next is where our young padwan is going to go to the Jedi academy and all that .
January 18th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Heh, great interruption be the priest.
And is it just me or does Tula’s boob looks squared off in the last panel? It looks wrong…
January 19th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
Ah Yatta-Ta will you never learn to stop talking……
Love the mention of metheglin, loverly stuff
