National lampoon's European Vaction -

Rusty Griswald - "Dad.. that guys got his hand on her tits at the table... I think he's gonna pork her...!"
Dad Griswald - "Rusty he's not gonna pork her..."

Rusty Still watching...

Rusty Griswald - "Dad I really think he's gonna pork her..."

Dad Griswald glancing the couple's way...

Dad Griswald - "Ok. He may pork her Rusty... eat your soup..."

LOL. Love that scene... But in relevance to Goblins... I'm not sure who's pulling who closer? :)

PsiMax's eyes and head will be near-invulnerable - MinMax is going to need another way of killing PsiMax this time.

MinMax says something is green. PsiMax comes back - "Remember me?" Sword is drawn.
And then the "sky" in the maze turns yellow like the sky where the GAP is? There's a yellow glow and what looks suspiciously like daylight coming through the "remember me?" hole.
:shrug: Drawing the sword isn't a critical component of the scenario - but that background could just be the glowing yellow cheese fondue treasure room.

Psymax gets revived but is braindead. Minmax gets his second kill, but it's a mercy killing that doesn't require a sword.

Usopp is a main character from a manga called One Piece; Funimation translates the anime adaptation to English and I guess that's just their profile page for Usopp. When I googled that page, my PS3 didn't even have the flash software to show the animation. I'm sorry for being off-topic, but I just wanted to add to your long-nose joke by showing a character that has a deliberately Pinnochio-inspired nose and I couldn't think of something on-topic to say. I don't think it'll happen again.
The only one to pay attention to what happens in Goblins.

I laughed mate. Especially when you consider he tells ridiculous tall stories about his "abilities" and such like. :P

When I shaded the page, I re-drew the mouths on all of the profile panels, so they look a bit more natural. The reason they looked so weird? I suck at profiles. I'm getting better, but you can kind of tell that I have a lot less control when drawing a profile pic. :shrug:

Someone mentioned that Kin's expression in the third panel looked off, but it's based off of this picture of Ellen Page...

A moment of anagnorisis - so this is where you get your inspiration of how to draw Kin? Page does have simple beautiful facial geometry.

I think you got the message across quite well in profile. High density of information transfer.

Ruby is gonna tell Emerald not to disobey her and that Minmax is a yucky human.
EDIT:

I must say that the second sentence of this post was not very sensitive to the fact that Ruby is a victim of rape. It may have come off as making light of the issue and I, after reading Thunt's blog and other posts on the subject have come to realize the error. My intention was not to make light of Ruby's trauma, it was to make light of her predisposed notions of inferiority and malice towards humans that existed prior to her capture by Dellyn. I derived this from her altsplanation. I presumed she would disapprove of Kin and Minmax because he is a human and not Serpent Folk. I should have also considered that she would disapprove of their relationship because Minmax is a human male like the vile rapist Dellyn. If I caused any offense due to my immature and naive post I am sorry. In the future I will try to be more considerate.
