    .... is that Lord Vetinari?

    • Me-me 13 years ago archived

      Don't be silly. This person is showing emotion. More importantly, he's failing at something. Both of these preclude him from being Lord Vetinari.

        Vetinari has emotions! Even if the only one he tends to use regularly is "bemused."

        Failing, on the other hand, is hardly Vetinari. He'd have that hotel managed without anything more than a raised eyebrow and some meaningful looks.

    Confirmation that the time period the hotel is based in is the Good One. Chances of that crew of cooks getting dumped out into the story at large is looking good!

      I was thinking very much the same.

        Could be they get returned home at the end of the first Widdershins arc too or somesuch.. then they could interact with the rest of the cast and still get home : )

    Yeah, they can't pass such a narrow opening !

    Anyone with a moustache like Mr Cartwright Snr has got to be a good guy. Anyone with a moustache like Mr Cartwright Jnr may as well have 'villain' tattooed across his forehead.

      Don't forget the pince-nez and the tiny beardlet.

      Particularly since Junior is a spitting image of Mephistopheles from Darken. Just sayin'

  • BeretCat 13 years ago archived

    First off, this comic is fantastic!


    Second off, the secret to a successful hotel was obviously that picture above the door.

      Isn't it usually the area behind the painting that's darker? Or have the walls just gotten grimy?

      • Stretch Longfellow 13 years ago archived

        Either way, that is a nice subtle detail. :)

        • Sturzkampf 13 years ago archived

          Doubtless inspired by the artist's recent house move (the discolouration rather than the grime).

          • Kate A 13 years ago archived

            Hah, quite! It's off to buy paint tonight :)

      • awhorl 13 years ago archived

        He must have sold them, eh? Probably worth something. Hmm . . . gambling debts, perhaps?

      • =Tamar 13 years ago archived

        The walls get grimy.

    get rid of all those paintings! Guests don't need paintings! Also it needs to be darker! Guests don't need light! Might as well get rid of the beds too...This is a Hotel not a hostel! Give me a minute...I read this book by a M. Fairbairn that said binding daemons to your business was a surefire way to profit...Let's try that!

      Possibly the route in question that we got there, but what about the Father- he's the one that was so reckless...


      Guess we'll find out about what was so reckless of him shortly. (grabbing the bowl of popcorn) Time to sit back and enjoy the new ride...

  • svartalf 13 years ago archived

    That probably would've been a fitting punishment, much like Baal's was eminiently fitting.

    • Sturzkampf 13 years ago archived

      That would explain why he's not a natural manager. He's an unnatural manager....


      OK, I'll shut up now.

  • exmsft 13 years ago archived

    I'm thinking of Komiyan doing to Gort what Gort did to Mephisto, and getting the same reward. Gort, after all, had rather persistently dismissed Komiyan as all but a flunky.

    Lore time!
