Wonderful. A scruffy wise-arse*, a fiddling bruiser and an obsessive-compulsive wizard.
===========================
*Which reminds me of PTerry Pratchett's definition:
"WIZARD (n): From the Old Tongue, "wize-arse", one who knows.
Close enough to the true origin of "wizard", indeed.
Ben has a hard job, finding the invisible. Then he gains a coworker who can see them... and his life gets that much harder. Go figure.
Well, if you say you spent the day getting rid of invisible things, who is going to call you a liar?
Unsummon the summonable, See the invisible. Rows, rows, fight each other.
You sir, deserve a medal :D!
Well, I just decided: I like these characters more than the previous couple. They're just that much funnier. :-)
My take's that they're as funny...just different kind of funny.
Something tells me they're going to bump into each other from time to time.
Well. Spot 'buggerups' and desummon them. What could be simpler? ^^
Ahh, im so glad I found this comic again! These pages are making me very happy on a grumpy lunch hour, thank you!
"This is the reason we were allowed out of jail, you see!"
And Fairbairn rolls her eyes! Nice to know someone's noticed the complete lack of tact anywhere in this room (no offense meant to my hero Wolfe). I'm starting to somewhat-maybe-almost like Councilwoman Fairbairn on this re-read, since I started imagining her as a could-have-been Vetinari. :D
Hey, another Discworld fan!
Omg Mal has Komiyan's color scheme.
...And Wolfe has Jill's, but I'll try not to read too much into that. Probably.
i have a real problem whereby i always assign one character a long coat and fingerless gloves because the 16 year old inside me that just watched FMA and trigun thinks they're super-cool. this 16 year old will never go away
They're totally cool! I still wear fingerless gloves for most of autumn and they make me feel like I should know how to pick a lock or hack into a retina scan system or...other rogue-y stuff haha
