the Realm will be silent no longer!

[wutzibu]

Check goblins main Page! it is going to back on 17.09!

[mortissimus]

Whohoo!

And lots of tidbits to gnaw on in the speech bubbles.

[someone]

I think...
I ...

I ...

I... I think i just had a nerdgasm.

[kida]

Who do you think is talking in the bubbles?

The right side seems like complains, minmax and another goblin.

Hello father - is it junior? Does it match his IME?

[Krulle]

I am pretty sure it's Junior. He's the only one referring to a father like this. (Father doesn't need you!)

I am pretty sure that "There's nothing I wouldn't protect you from, Dies" is being said by Saves a Fox.

The fine line between good and evil: either Forgath to Kore, or Big Ears to anyone who teases his "always good".

"When the serpent becomes his prey": three speech bubbles: All three could be Kin, when she finds out about the prophesy, and the necklace....

But: a golden Klik-SFX? And a blue Klik? And a red Klik?
What will be seeing?


Minmax-guess: a very good one, I didn't think of Minmax insisting on the larger portion of the hallway....

Hello father - is it junior? Does it match his IME?

Right: It does seem like Minmax and another goblin is bickering, and the other goblin looks to Complains for support. Strange since you'd expect Complains to be the one bickering with Minmax. It could of course be any two characters of different size bickering, like Minmax-Forgath, Forgath-Thaco, Fumbles-Talking Mouse encountered later, and so on.

Upper left seems like something Ears would say.

Lower left seems like it's said to Minmax after Forgath dies. Could be Ears, Kin, or anyone.
(EDIT: But the only one except Minmax that knows the words of that prophecy is Forgath. Maybe it's Forgath's last words?)

Upper middle sounds like Fox.

Middle could be anyone, but likely it's goblins from the GAP. I'm guessing Ears or Complains makes the suggestion, and Thaco replies.

Lower middle is "Junior", definately.


(It feels good to speculate about the comic again!)

[onsokumaru]

Lower left, I thought of Forgath after he hurt or killed Kin. But he is monotheist, right?

Thaco should be the chief: Ears proposing, Complains replying?

[Krulle]

Complains wanted his father to become chief, and they did have a short talk about it.
I don't think Complains of Names would oppose such a suggestion.

[willpell]

That's a lot of kliks....

[Gryphonic]

I think all my speculation on who's saying what was already covered. So I'm just going to share that every time I look at the page again I'm imagining all those sounds effects going off in the background of serious, dramatic moments being quoted.
And then I start giggling again.

(Hi everyone! Been a while, though I did drop in at least once a day for my little contribution to ad revenue. And I had a dream about Goblins last night, so perhaps my subconscious is prescient.)

[armatil]

i am officially ultra-pumped. aw yea.

[raj72616a]

yay! goblins has been staying my browser homepage all along, and finally there's an update!

Mine too!

[Aegis J Hyena]

This is definitely some interesting stuff to think about while we wait. I do like that "fine line between fury and evil"... definitely an Ears line if I ever heard one. Looks like Junior is coming back as well, which means Dies is gonna need all the luck he can get because he doesn't have Klik this time.

[MakesNoSense]

My guesses -

The fury-evil comment is most likely Forgath to Kore, but potentially Big Ears to Complains after some outrageous incident

The 3 bubble prophecy is Kin after her meeting up with Minmax again accidentally causes Forgath's end

The thaco for chief is Big Ears responded to by.... Chief! (well, probably Thaco, but I'm calling a miraculous return of Chief somehow!!!)

The protecting dies is Fox

The person talking to Ears has got to be Complains, probably after a self-sacrificing act for Forgath

Hello Father I agree is jr.

The hallway argument is a little confusing, because it sounds like Minmax and Complains, until its identified that Complains is the third person. I cant see it being fumbles and its unlikely its big ears, so I guess that leaves Thaco?

Beyond that, it seems we have a visit to Klik's home plane of existence where he has reformed and is trying to get back to Dies

I'm still totally calling Chief!

[DrinksBeer]

Tremendous to see the comic moving forward again!

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

It may be the kliks have become aware of Klik's "indiscretion" in producing Junior and have come to deal with it. Remember that what Klik did in replacing Dies arm is punishable with death in Klik's society. This may be why. If that is the case, these guys may not be in a friendly mood.

[Wolfie]

There was much squee'ing in my household this morning... and not all of it from me

How is it that the next few days seem to stretch unto eternity when we've lived through the past 7 months?

[eain]

YAAAAAAAY!

Welcome back!

[Glemp]

Someone way back suggested that Kore was going to resurrect Forgath after death to hunt down Minmax & Co - I'm fairly sure that this is confirmation, or at least solid evidence for Forgath being forced to attack Kin.

[SpeaksManyLanguages]

The fury-evil comment is most likely Forgath to Kore, but potentially Big Ears to Complains after some outrageous incident

I would actually say, it's something from Kore's childhood and some mentor of his saying that to him. Or, maybe, Kore saying this to someone he kinda likes. Dunno.

The thaco for chief is Big Ears responded to by.... Chief! (well, probably Thaco, but I'm calling a miraculous return of Chief somehow!!!)

IMHO, both bubbles are Thaco

Nay, Thaco is kinda an adult comparing to Complains, so he wouldn't say "Complains, tell him", that's a thing that you say to someone on your level or higher. I think it's a quarrel between Big Ears and Minmax.

[Dustin_S]

YES! Welcome back, Tarol! I haven't been this excited in three days (and if this update had come three days earlier, that number would be significantly higher, but three days ago i got word that my 1993 240SX, which has been undergoing a KA24DE to RB25DET engine swap for the last 14 months, was ready to be picked up)

I got my car back and goblins is back?! best week i've had in years.

But, wouldnt Kore have had that memory when killing the little boy early in the story? And I don't think Kore draws a fine line, its a big huge fat line around the entire world. Its either 'absolutely and certainly good from the perspective of Kore' or its everything else, which all gets lumped under 'evil'.

The bubbles are separated, indicating two separate people. Unlike the 3 bubbles of prophecy, which are linked and indicate one person. So, I don't think both bubbles can be thaco. I'm still desperately hoping that neither bubble is Thaco (come on Chief! somehow!)

I know thaco is complains' father and elder, but... it just doesnt seem like an argument big ears would have with Minmax, and I dont see big ears appealing to complains either. He is a paladin, and if there is a rule/law/agreement, he would follow it and get things done even if he didnt like it. Thaco is more of a complainer and grouch. I put a question mark because I just have trouble understanding why anyone is appealing to Complains, ESPECIALLY when he responds in such an exasperated tone with respect to what seems to be a disagreement between a goblin and Minmax. The ongoing conflict is between Minmax and Complains... so why would Complains do anything but berate Minmax? He would absolutely side with the goblin unless forced otherwise. It sounds like a great story, but you would think its some time before we could get there. Thats why I put a question mark there.

Any which way, its so much fun to speculate

[Squidangel]

Oh dear....

...this is going to get interesting.
