Life is strange like that…..
January 29th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Yay- it’s the redhead! I’m sure Sheahla can keep his big mouth occupied so he doesn’t put his foot in it. And I’m certain she’ll get him out of that dreadful shirt. (Pass it to me dear, I’ll burn it.)
January 30th, 2010 at 12:26 am
I wanna live in that village!
January 30th, 2010 at 12:31 am
Yes! For the love of Thrasu say YES!!!
Excellent JED. As always.
And to echo Fred, Yeah buddy, me too.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:33 am
Oh, and I see another candidate for the hot-stuff page, hmmm???
(sorry for yet another double post. I hit enter and THEN inspiration strikes.)
January 30th, 2010 at 12:33 am
. . .
Bwuh?
January 30th, 2010 at 12:35 am
(And a double post on my part)
*immediately breaks the H, E, L, L, Y, E, and S keys on keyboard*
January 30th, 2010 at 12:46 am
Something similar (if not so blatant) happened to me once. Like a bigger ass than Yatta-ta I just ignored the come-on and went about my business.
In my defense I must say that I was both married to a nymphomaniac and on patrol duty at the time. I didn’t really have the time to devote to the “Sheelah” as she deserved.
Anyway, Yatta-ta is boozed up, not on duty and has apparently spent a lifetime being horny; I’m sure Shealah can break him in well before passing him off to Karina and Larina.
Besides, if Shealah exhausts Yatta=ta tonight she will have an edge during sword-play tomorrow — ya gotta watch out fer them crafty warriors, they’ll do anything fer an advantage…
BTW, are we getting another Hot Stuff out of Shealah?
January 30th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Ahhh.. if only life was like that
January 30th, 2010 at 12:51 am
Oh HELL TO THE YES!!!! Dontcha just LOVE forward women? I know I do-especially when they look as good as Sheahla. Yeah, I wanna go live in the Valley of the Moon too (but doesn’t just about everyone posting here, no matter the gender?)
If Yatta-ta messes this up I’m going to have to find a way to get to that village just to smack the sh!# outta him.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Go Yatta-ta!
I want to move there. I like the idea of just walking up to a man and asking point blank if he wants to go do the horizontal bop.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:08 am
Hanswa, life IS like that, you just have to know the right women
January 30th, 2010 at 1:13 am
Yep, I won two croens on the bet, it was the redhead he’ll end up with…if he just keeps his big mouth shut. Actually would be a good line for Mentl to say to him, “Right now, my man, shut your mouth and do exactly what the lady tells you. “
January 30th, 2010 at 1:15 am
Her cousin Zona doesn’t want to share Mentl -right now-.
…That -can’t- bode what I -think- it bodes, can it? >.> <.< ^_^
Loranna
January 30th, 2010 at 1:18 am
If I hadn’t promised myself to Tula I’d sooooo take up this rather buxom woman’s offer…he’s gonna say no, i just know it. and if he says yes, lucky him
January 30th, 2010 at 3:21 am
Yay! The red-head in blue leather!
Anyone suprised? Show of hands?
January 30th, 2010 at 3:21 am
Comic God , aka Jed in that universe loves you Yata-ta. XD,DON’T WASTE HIS LOVE! And by love, your master swordmanship, which made that women come to you. Though to be serious, I understand what he really wants. Sex is one thing…a really nice thing, but being in love and having a requited love is something else entirely.
January 30th, 2010 at 3:46 am
Ebuh? I can see this guy is finally gonna get his and become this woman’s bitch. I mean, sheesh, she is going to be the one that wears the pants in this relationship. I mean…GAAAH! Reference the movie Twins scene when Arnold S. has just lost his virginity and has that look on his face… I mean…EBUH! I mean…more HOT STUFF Please?
EBUH!
January 30th, 2010 at 3:51 am
I join the ranks of those ready to lynch Yatta-ta if he skrews this up.
He just needs to down mug and say Sure (thank you for the offer) and follow her off?
January 30th, 2010 at 4:11 am
@AdamZero ” He just needs to down mug and say Sure (thank you for the offer) and follow her off?”
Sure, that’s what he should do. That’s what you or I would do (HELLS YEAH!!!), but this is Yatta-ta we’re talking about here. He’s a true idiot savant-a whiz with the sword, but a dismal failure everywhere else, including the ladies apparently. He has a tendency to talk too much and say the wrong things-he almost ran Mentl off, whingeing about lack of opportunity with the ladies, before Sheahla showed up.
He can still screw this up, by saying too much of the wrong things. And in that case, I’ll be joining you on the lynching party.
January 30th, 2010 at 4:33 am
Redheads…Ah, if only the ones around here weren’t total bitches. As of this moment, unless he screws it up, I am jealous of Yatta. A thing for redheads.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:00 am
Wo-ho-how! That’s one lucky fellow. I really hope he won’t screw up! He may require Mentl’s help for that, considering the state he’s in!
It would be fun to get him into Zona’s big family!
January 30th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Go for it yatta-ta, what do you have to lose.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:02 am
He he, Go Sheahla!
Now that Yatta’s theory about never getting changes with the women have just been disproved he better jump on this change. Sheahla is hot!
*cheering Yatta-ta and Sheahla on* I already like Sheahla.
And Mentl is looking after the twins in the first panel.
January 30th, 2010 at 7:35 am
Good gravy. I said before I thought this guy was the Geek of Swords. The more dialogue we get, the more I’m convinced that’s true.
January 30th, 2010 at 9:07 am
Nothing like a good lay to boost the spirits up.
Yatta isn’t going to mess this up, is he?
January 30th, 2010 at 9:49 am
He moight START to mess it up, but I can easily see Mentl reaching over, smacking him in the back of his head, saying, “He says Yes.”
January 30th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Even Yatta couldn’t be stupid enough to say no, could he. Actually I agree with Blue. I think he’ll open his mouth and Mentl, before he can say anything will put his hand over it and say “He says yes.”
January 30th, 2010 at 10:29 am
i’m thinking with as forward as Sheahla is, no matter what Yatta-ta says he’ll wind up in bed ;). The lady knows what she wants.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Oh and Holy Spit! mentl is quite huge.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:34 am
“Zona doesn´t want to share .. for NOW” !?
Oi.
There´s always a gal jealous of the top one. So I bet sooner or later Mentl is in for a wild ride too.
Unless of course Erogenians are total fantasy creatures. We´ll see.
Also good one on Mentl for not putting up with the whinefest, boozefueld or not. Go Mentl!
January 30th, 2010 at 10:56 am
Blue,
My inner dialog was almost exactly the same.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:11 am
*chanting*
Yat-ta! Yat-ta! Yat-ta!
January 30th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
You gotta love the straightforward approach of the Erogenian woman. Still part of me can’t help but quibble a little Is making love really the way she would put it. Doesn’t quite ring true for me. But then again that is what Zona said to Mentl in the end so maybe that’s just the way Moon girls out it? I don’t know guess I’ll wait for clarification on that front.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Er put it not out it. Darn typo.
January 30th, 2010 at 12:24 pm
!! Sheahla has known what she wanted since #331, and as the self-confessed 2nd best swordsperson in the Moon Tribe is being direct about it. But foolishly John, what exactly is holding her sword up? Those two silly little strands are only decorating that sweet rump, not hugging it. And sewing a scabbard onto your pants is a bad idea especially when they are that tight. Not that I’m complaining, nomesane? I concur, as Yatta-ta’sWingman, Mentl gets the next (and last) line.
P.S. JED, I noticed that only Zona received the HAI exclamation when they arrived and during the fight. Therefore it is a rare honorific like “Imperator”, and probably means “Champion”, not a greeting, am I right?
January 30th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
We know almost nothing about Sheahla except that she’s a beautiful Erogenian who’s a blood relative of Zona’s. She may be a diplomat in training, who chose her words carefully away from the Erogenian idiom in order not to completely freak out the new guy that she’s propositioning.
Given how bright the sky is, Yatta could have a nice, extensive romp with Sheahla and be brought back to the party in the evening in time to get drunk again, and this time pulled off to the side by the twins.
Mentl’s likely to be getting offers by other women, perhaps even while Zona’s sitting right next to him.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
I think folks are putting way too much emphasis on Sheahla’s “Zona’s doesn’t want to share him for now.” I do not think that that is an expression of Zona’s intent to share at some point, so much as Sheahla’s assumtion that of course she will. Given Zona’s tendency to keep lovers, and a minor possibility of drunken boosting of Mentl’s assets, it is not an unreasonable assumption. I just think it is wrong.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
WAIT ONE COTTON PICKIN MIUNUTE !! Is she wearing a Silver neck chain? Can’t be, Silvers are Monogamous and Erogenians don’t Lie. John, what gives?
January 30th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Well, since no one’s said it…
Bow-chicka-waow-waow!!
lol Go for it, Yatta!! ^_^ Great job as always, JE!
January 30th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
In Cestus We Trust. I am not sure what you are seeing. I see a gold torc on her neck, but no chains at all, on any part of her…
January 30th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Brer Wolf, I blew up Panel 4 to better examine her … torc! Yeah, that’s the ticket … her torc! but look at the base of her throat a couple of inches below the torc on a monitor with good contrast and you’ll see it, I’m just being a DOM, sorry. So either this is the fabled ‘nickel’ chain, ruled out a long while ago or she is a widow, a silver widow is not life-bonded and is entitled to assignations.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
as I remember the chains are only worn on the wrist or ankle… I think. I would say more but this is only a slight recollection that could be false.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
sorry for the double. I meant the use of chains as a bounding device are only worn on the wrist or ankle.
January 30th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
DH, sorry. see http://www.soulgeek.com/comics/zona/2007/03/17/page-102/ “wear it anywhere - we usually wear it on the wrist or the ankle as long as it can be seen”. Sorry I can’t help having CDO. (That’s like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order, AS THEY SHOULD BE)
January 30th, 2010 at 7:51 pm
[Just read comic}: SAY YES, YOU IDIOT!
January 30th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
Okay, i believe i thought that was a shadow, but you are right, it is there, and does resemble a chain… We shall await seeing if J E Draft answers the debate
January 30th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Even blown up, it looks like a shadow to me, although oddly it does not look like the shadow of the torc. Frankly, it conforms too closely to the shape of her neck to be a chain by my reckoning. Now what it’s a shadow of is the mystery.
January 30th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Hanswa-life is like that at some places and some times, but you do have to earn the rep to attend those parties…
Inquisitive Raven-I agree with you. I could see how it could be a chain, kinda, sorta…but I don’t really think it is one.
I am hoping Mentl does kindly put his hand on Yatta’s shoulder and say “Dude, first say yes, then shut up, take her hand, and follow her wherever she wants to go” because Yatta will need this advice. His Foot-in-Mouth disease is not only already of a legendary status it might someday be terminal as long as he is chasing ladies like these.
January 30th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Seeing her in the crowd, I just knew I was gonna like her if we got to meet her.
Sheahla seems real nice! I hope we get to see her with her clothes off :D. She’s got a ton of character in her brief lines that makes her very sexy.
Moox
January 31st, 2010 at 12:16 am
Lessee… red hair= Tula’s dad’s brother’s kid? Or, jawline= zona’s dad’s brother’s kid? I suppose with an up-front society like his, there’d be a lot of cousins of various origins around in a good-sized village.
Thinking more about this, I came up with a whole new hierarchy of cousin-categories. “Moon cousins” for people related through sister-mothers (fathers to be named Later!) Sun Cousins for those related through brother-Fathers. And how about “half-Moon cousins,” for those related trough a brother-sister pair, Or maybe two brothers, by the same mother? Just thinking…
January 31st, 2010 at 12:33 am
Someguy, if I’ve grasped Erogenian culture right, they call it making love because they see their sexuality as an extension of love itself; to just have sex (without love) would be using the other person, and that would be an offense to the cha.
You don’t have to be *in love* with someone to show love for them…
January 31st, 2010 at 12:44 am
1. “Hai!!” is a general salute, apparently. When the sisters came home, Tula got a few “Hai”s.
2. “Cousin”: Ipola probably has relatives, and judging from her and Tula, red hair is in the genes.
3. I just had a horrible premonition: Based on Yatta-tas general asininty and his wretched luck with wimmin, and on the woozy clenched-jaw look on his face in the last panel, he is about to barf on her sandals.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:00 am
Regarding the “two little straps”…who says they’re fimlsy leather? They could be cord. They could also be heavy-weight leather (10oz or higher), which would indeed carry the weight of a sword, or they could be a dull copper chain of some sort. (Though given how smooth the image is, I’m voting either thick leather or cord, most likely cord.)
For the record, a single strap of 8oz leather, 1/4 inch wide, helped to lift 4 (of 5) adults up a 12′ cliff inside Ape Cave (southern WA), back in 1994. It was myself and 4 friends, all of whom were in the SCA (medieval society). We were coming back from July Coronation in Oregon, and decided to stop at Ape Cave on our way north. We went through the 2+ mile lava tunnels in medieval clothes and gear, replete with swords and so forth, with just 5 candle lanterns for light. It took us extra long because of the dim lighting, but we had a lot of fun doing it.
The leather strap in question was a lanyard strap on the scabbard of one of the two gentlemen’s swords. We needed something to haul everyone up a short cliff. Since I had the freehand climbing experience, I chimney climbed up to the top, but the others couldn’t manage it, so I had Marc pass me his sword in its scabbard. I held the scabbard and they grabbed the sword hild, and I helped pull them to the top. (Needless to say, I wouldn’t recommend this technique ever again, but we were young and invincible or mumble-something, and hey, it worked, ’nuff said.) If the leather safety strap had been anything less than 8 ounce leather, it probably wouldn’t have worked. But it did.
For those of you who have doubts, go to a shoestore and look for the leather bootlace thongs for work boots. Buy a pair of the tanned leather thongs, and give ‘em a good tug. You’ll find it’s remarkably strong. Admittedly they’ll need replacing on a regular basis if they’re used in any situation where there’s a single repeated stress point (such as where the thongs are tied around a scabbard buckle), but they’ll last a good while in the interim. It’s the wimpy sueded leather that wouldn’t last, but I’m taking the hard-cured stuff.
Cords would also work very well. They have a decent amount of give for stress-points (so long as they’re not exposed to a lot of rubbing friction), and yet are quite sturdy. Kumahime cord is particularly strong, and well-suited for combat conditions; the samurai used it for hundreds of years to lace their armor together. Lucet cord is also quite strong; it was used for centuries by Western/European women to lace their corsets and other articles of clothing.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:01 am
*Ignore the typos: flimsy, hilt, etc…
January 31st, 2010 at 1:06 am
The shadow at her neck is just that: collarbone shadow. (It’s like the nostril effect, a side-effect of Poser’s occasionally ever-so-slightly-off rendering capabilities.)
January 31st, 2010 at 1:08 am
Background pervy thought, those last two panels: “Is that the neck of a bottle in your hand, or are you just happy to see me?”
*ducks and dodges any/all flying objects…*
January 31st, 2010 at 2:19 am
Also, it’s funny how people can suddenly meet the perfect person for them, isn’t it?
I mean, Yatta-Ta is awkward and says the wrong thing, Sheahla is confident and a sure-footed talker.
I hope he hasn’t had TOO much to drink…
January 31st, 2010 at 5:39 am
A sentance that almost any guy, in almost any moment, would love to hear.
I don’t know whether to call Yatta-Ta a poor confused fool, or a lucky bastard.
January 31st, 2010 at 10:29 am
Looking at her, I doubt she’ll take no for an answer, honestly.
And if he does flub it, JED is going to have to go into hiding from all us angry readers with our torches and pitchforks. ^_^
January 31st, 2010 at 10:37 am
That’s a woman who knows what she wants.
January 31st, 2010 at 10:42 am
Hmm…
I think you have a point with that one.
January 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
Also, braided leather is rather strong as well. I use that on all my acoustic guitars as a way to attached the guitar straps, and I have NEVER had one braided chord EVER give out on me. I know guitars don’t seems that heavy, but when you really get into it, you’re putting alot of weight on that braiding. I’d be willing to bet that two braided leather chords of about that thickness would be able to hold close to 50 lbs. very easily, and a sword of that size should only weigh about 15 lbs., tops (and that’s going on the heavy side).
January 31st, 2010 at 11:33 am
@Jean - I bow to your Superios knowledge of Poser, anyone in doubt see p. 37 Panel 5. Mucho apologia. I was not saying cords were too weak just asking how her scabbard stays up, those hips look sleek. hey, I told you i was a DOM …
@Sarge - really? Hai! is very stingily given out so far. I must have missed.
@mr_oof - Red hair most likely from Ipola’s brother or sister
January 31st, 2010 at 1:00 pm
sorry p 337, panel 5.
January 31st, 2010 at 1:48 pm
To be fair though, if you’re lucky enough to be in a relationship with a woman with a high sex drive who’s crazy about you, you’ll get offers like that on a regular basis. So regular, in fact, that you may actually turn her down sometimes. Just sometimes
January 31st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Yay!!!!
January 31st, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Ohhhh, her HIPS! …Yeah, ya got me on that one. That sword ‘belt’ is just baaaarely hanging on. Maybe the thongs have stretched? It’s riding awfully low on her hips. (But then if those thongs are male, who wouldn’t want to slip down and cup such a fine…aaahahahaha, yeah, right…)
January 31st, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I just noticed…in the last panel, the speech bubble looks like its coming from the guy far off to Sheahla’s left XD
January 31st, 2010 at 9:43 pm
I’m not sure she’d take ‘no’ for an answer. I also suspect she’s seen enough drunken people to be quite capable of handling a maudlin drunk without taking offense. My bet is she hauls him off anyway…for his own good, of course.
January 31st, 2010 at 11:38 pm
The sheer volume of comments this page is wonderful, but I have been very busy all weekend and so can only answer just a few points, at this time:
Firstly, as has been established, it’s pretty important to Erogenians that physical intimacy always be a matter of choice. If, for some unforeseeable reason, Yatta-ta says “No,” then that would have to be it.
Also, I have no idea what you all are even looking at around Sheahla’s neck. I’ve looked at it, but can’t even fins any shadow or artifact that would give anyone the impression she had anything other than her torc. I know for a fact I never put anything there purposely, and the character is very free, single and uncommitted.
The sword, its laces and their particular shape and weight are held in place by a Plot Field of positively charged Poser particles. When it ceases to serve the plot, the field will collapse and her clothing and its attendant traces, appurtenances and appliances will drop. Yeah. I know - “When is that gonna happen?” Well, just be patient a bit.
It doesn’t give anything away at this point to note that Sheahla is Ipola’s older brother’s daughter. Her full name is Sheahla Dolin-Oriana. She’s a year or two older than Zona, but in some ways even wilder.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:11 am
I’m guessing that Yatta starts on a long reply and Mentl kicks him under the table, accompanied with a whisper in Yatta’s ear: “Say ‘Yes, I would be delighted, miss.’ Keep it short and sweet man.”
February 1st, 2010 at 2:56 am
lets hope that Yatta-ta , dont put his foot in it.Which i can see happening all too easy.
JD This Sheahla lass is even wilder that zona , is that even possible?
February 1st, 2010 at 5:17 am
@Hypertrophobic:
YES.
Moox
February 1st, 2010 at 7:14 am
And as to differences in breast size between her and Yat’s goddess, well, as they say, more than a moutfull is a waste.
February 1st, 2010 at 8:16 am
Hmm, and here I thought the saying was ‘more than a handful’.
Um, JED? Any change one of the upcoming pages will give us a ful shot of Sheahla?
February 1st, 2010 at 11:26 am
Mentl needs to do more than slap his hand over Yatta-Ta’s mouth, he needs to dope slap him silly so he flys right. Maybe a snatch of “Don’t Stop” would set the right mood for Yatta-Ta to i/ get over his defeat, and ii/ get him thinking of the all things that Sheala has to offer.
Personal note, Sheala is quite the consolation prize.
-Z
February 1st, 2010 at 1:41 pm
There is somethingh at the base of her neck in Panel 4, a wavy line that, to me looks more like a tatoo than a chain.
February 1st, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Hypertrophic - =D
warnie - Could happen. And yes, Sheahla is a bit wilder than Zona is now. She’s more like Zona was a few years ago. Heh.
Stormhawk - I do not agree with that philosophy. Some there are who say “Less is more.” I am of the party that loudly shouts “MORE is more.”
Lora - Hand, mouth - soup ladle, whatever. What is this notion of “waste?”
zaraya - Yes, she is a prize.
tricksterson - I’ll take your word for it. It looks like a shadow of her right collarbone is a tiny bit pixellated - possibly by dropping the resolution from the original. That’s about all I can see.
February 1st, 2010 at 5:48 pm
So is this the first time you put in a subliminal message, or have I just not consciously noticed it before?
February 1st, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Yatta: [opens mouth]
Mentyl: [reaches fist under & raps jaw shut w/ knuckles. firmly.] “He said ‘Yes.’”
From tonight’s upcoming setlist:
♫♪♫See the man with the lonely eyes
Take his hand, you’ll be surprised ♪♫
February 2nd, 2010 at 5:25 am
Well, JED, who says I’m saying it? I’m just quoting here.
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:20 am
Love that last panel facial expression on Yatta. Perfect. He’s not even up to ‘wow!’ yet, or even startlement - kinda like pre-shock shock.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Yatta’s face is just one big blank in that last panel, like an oversized “what the fudge just happened, and where can I see a recording of it?”
supposing Kivalians/Erogenians/other peoples have some form of magic that can record moving images… “>_>
March 14th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Panel 3: Notice that Yatta-ta is maintaining eye contact with Sheahla, while Mentl is ogling a bit lower - “points South” as it were….
