Oh god, now we have two of them...

My thoughts exactly.
I think I may be thinking, therefore I may possibly be being.

Well, way back on that "Realm has been silent" thing that had some of the dialogue from this, I don't think anyone guessed it was Fumbles that was holding up the other half of the conversation...

...What world do we live in? We've gotten 3 comics in the past 2 weeks.... this is awesome!

That said, happy to see Fumbles talking... and Minmax... bonding?

I didn't feel a page was missing. I like this page. A lot.

I love the look of annoyance on Complains' face in the last panel.

If you remember the dialogue from the goblins comeback announcement page (where many people considered it to be between Ears and Minmax), this seems to be it, rewritten.
Works good.

And this settles it in my mind: Fumbles is a player character, and therefore so are all the goblins. This sounds exactly like a couple of good roleplayers improvising, with lots of laughter and wisecracking from everyone else at the table.

Does anybody have a link to that page? I can't remember all of the dialogue.

Seeing Fumbles carry on a conversation surprised me. Seeing him carry on a conversation about exactly what you'd expect him to made me want to cry. He's back, y'all.

Wait, so not everyone rereads each page many times under different conditions and all the lines are burnt into their memory as a result? Ah, yeah, that's me :oops:

BTW, I'm also a little bit intrigued about what Ears is mending with his Axe back there. Probably nothing important, though.

Also, nobody is checking the creepy corridor for traps :meh:

Well, Minmax has a tendency to get into totally unproductive arguments distracting from the things at hand.

And yes, I also reread the comics many times. But my memory has become a thing of two signatures in this place, but I cannot remember what they put in there... :p

Is adorkable the right thing to say here? I like that Fumbles is talking again, but either he's recovering quite fast or something else is gfoing on... what if Fumbles is still the speechless Goblin wreck GS turned him into, and we are only seeing the Kickass'o persona?

In the third panel, where the Stupid is getting so intense it's making Thaco's teeth hurt, Ears is definitely giving the Axe a quizzical look. Either it's telling him something... or he's wondering why it isn't responding in some way he expects.

How come Minmax can say "Maxo Kickaxo"? He's not supposed to be able to rhyme on purpose...

He's not rhyming on purpose, he's repeating something Se├▒or Vorpal Kickass'o has said.
