          veeery slow clap

    Um, Kate? I don't think that Sidney's in this one. (Well, unless Ben is actually Sidney in disguise, that is. I can't rule that out, I suppose.)

      Oops, fixed!

        I am now really sad I missed that

    That's your /house burning down/, Wolfe. Good lord, man, pay attention.


    Remnants seem to be something new! So spirits can create / summon / shed spirits of their own?

      Hold tight. Wait 'til this party's over. Hold tight. We're in for nasty weather. There has got to be a way.

      It makes sense that the deadlies can spread themselves. Wrath begets wrath, after all. The question is, do virtues spread, too, or do they just act as stabilizers for an area?

      Wolfe is too chill to burn.

    Pardon me sirs, but might I trouble you for a cup of sugar

    • Euodiachloris 10 years ago archived

      I think they'd probably be asking for arsenic, rather... Maybe laced with lead acetate. ;P

      • BrokenEye 10 years ago archived

        Why? Are they making a sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich?

    I know I should probably fear for their safety....but the Barber women Are Coming so instead I'm waiting for Nicola to hit something and Harry to lose her pipe.

    NOOO BEN!

  • Sapphire363 10 years ago archived

    I am assuming that "gott im himmel" means something along the lines of "god in heaven"

    rather ironic, seeing as they have the emotional equivalent of a demon on their tails

    • Nethead Jay 10 years ago archived

      It does indeed mean that

      • Sapphire363 10 years ago archived

        Thank you for clearing that up, good sir

    • das-g 10 years ago archived

      It might seem ironic, but just like "Oh mein Gott" (which literally translates to "OMG"), it's more often used as an exclamation than as a statement/greeting/prayer/anything else where the literal meaning would be appropriate.


      And Wolfe is much too cultured and well-spoken to use "Was zur Hölle" or "Was zum Teufel" (literally "what by hell" / "what, by the devil, ..." meaning roughly "WTH") or even "WTF" (no German equivalent I can think of), even when what he's facing is, actually and literally, some devilish entity from hell.

    • Neska 10 years ago archived

      "Gott im himmel" is, literal translation, "god in heaven."

    Can we get Threnodi to do a cuddly toy version of the Remnant?

  • lurkerAbove 10 years ago archived

    Was there a change of the web-layout this week ?


    Because the header with "Archives - About - Cast ..." now gets shown

    as a big column that takes the left half of the screen.


    With "Inspect-Elements", that is DIV.widgets.content-header.columns-1,

    and I can get it to look normal again when I select DIV.#content.content

    and uncheck the 'display'-rule in

    .content {

    display: flex;

    }

    (style.css line 671).

      What browser are you using, please?

          I'll tell my buddy who is good with these things, because I honestly don't have the first clue. I updated the site's theme and it promptly broke everything in half, I am annoyed in the extreme.

  • Frankie D. 10 years ago archived

    Huh. The vote link seems to have stopped working today. It just goes to the main page, rather than the voting page...

    • CountSessine 10 years ago archived

      Top WebComics just revamped their website. At the moment, none of the voting links I've tried from various comics goes anywhere but their main page. Not only that, but when I try using the 'Vote' link for a comic ON their main page, it tells me I've already voted today.


      In other words, it's their site that's broken. Eventually they'll get it fixed, no doubt. In the meantime, all we can do is wait for them to get their act together.

      • Kate A 10 years ago archived

        I changed the URL to match the new one, hopefully that should help! Ball's in their court on that one though. I can't even log in there any more, it seems!

        • Frankie D. 10 years ago archived

          Yeah, that seemed to work, or at least it took me to the right page. Said I'd already voted though, so maybe it's not completely fixed...

          • CountSessine 10 years ago archived

            Voting now seems to work all right, too. For me, at any rate. If it doesn't work for any of you, use the Top Webcomics contact link to tell them exactly what you were doing that didn't work, because they're trying to catch ALL the bugs.

        It appears to be working now... ;-)

    WHO SAID IT? Who invoked Murphy?

    • AJ 10 years ago archived

      Count Sessine did it. I should go back and rail at them.

    • CountSessine 10 years ago archived

      Oh, hello there, Hatred. Focused, concentrated... yes, that's you all right. You'll have to be bigger than that, though, if you're going to take over the boss's job.

  • CountSessine 10 years ago archived

    Hee! I so wish I could upvote this more than once.

  • Lemeres 10 years ago archived

    A remnant of wrath? So frustration? Minor annoyance? OH wait, I recognize this behavoir. it is "before your first cup of coffee in the morning"-ness

  • Shee Soon Theng 9 years ago archived

    Pushy, ain't it?

  • Ilmari 7 years ago archived

    Typical Wrath... finally free after who knows how long, and it immediately expends itself pursuing some petty grudge.


    What a chump.
