MODERATORS
The shape of a crown has never made more sense!
Nitpick time: File this under "wrong usage of -eth when trying to sound medieval". That particular usage became "-es" in modern English, and if you make that replacement in this comic (cometh → comes), it's immediately clear that it's wrong. "Come onward" would have been just fine, but that, of course, looks far too modern.
I mean, you could read it as being deliberately demeaning or objectifying - she is being a hard taskmaster - but I don't think that was the intention here.
If she has permission - or dares take the initiative - to use the familiar form of address, she could try "Now, come thee onward!", keeping both that "th" that was wrong before, as well as the syllable count. Might still be a bit weird in context, but not grammatically.
Bringeth thine ass to the grass my liege
are armbands and knee bands to keep your joints from popping out of place when you're lifting heavy stuff?
No. They're support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it's right place.
So, yes?
I'm also leaning toward yes after hearing the answer, hahah
No you said to prevent it from popping out of place, he is saying it's to stop from wandering. Huge difference.
Does wandering sometimes lead to popping out of place?
It may seem that way, but in reality they're both exactly the same.
Kettlebell thrown? Sweet.
Kettlebell ~~thrown~~ throne
FTFY. That one confused me for a bit as I couldn't find anyone throwing kettlebells in the comic, lol
"My lord, we are having trouble breaching our enemy's wall."
"Very well, we shall to come to your aid"
Queen throws King at wall, problem solved.
... and Gold is 10% heavier than steel!
But is a kg gold heavier than a kg feathers??
outside of the art, this feels like it could be a perry bible
