[RJ 17]

Gotta love JRPG's and their obsessions with giant (most likely talking) Crystals of McGuffinness.

 

[Barbas]

I like that the crystal, when pissed off, channels Lightning from the great beyond.

Erin looks really comfortable. I should try walking around the house without trousers on for an afternoon; I bet it's refreshing as anything.

 

[Devin Barker]

Ouch, this hits close to home, My parents think Vitamin C cures cancer... they actually beg people they know not to get cancer treatments... its gross.

 

[CaitSeith]

Hmm... I wonder what will happen when they meet the crystal of happiness. I have the feeling that Erin is quite familiar with it...

You don't know what you're missing.

Well it might help you survive cancer, if you receive proper treatment, but it indeed can't do shit against it. But that mostly because dietary supplement, in general, are a good thing for patient under chemotherapy, which leave people weak, thus likely not eating enough.

 

[Ukomba]

So, I apparently read the comic panels out of order the first time. Silly me, reading left to right.

Yah saddly they think a saline bag full of vitamin c enriched water will just fix that shit up. My cousin just got stage 3 cancer and they are talking her out of kemo... crazy ass hats

Yeah, me too. It took me a few shots to figure out how I was supposed to do it.

Yes, a few, as in more than two. Whoops.

You wear trousers in your house regularly enough to be curious?

.... you poor lost soul.....

-------------------

I wonder when Erin will realize that arguing about the scientific accuracy of things like happiness and light elements in a fictional world where those things do exist is a loss cause. Probably no time soon. Likewise, I wonder if the light crystal will realize that having a screaming match with a brick wall is not behavior befitting of an ethereal being.

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

comedic beat nitpick,

the "Well...." in the 5th frame breaks up the timing of the joke, could probably also remove the word "quite"

 

[sageoftruth]

Nothing like watching an all-knowing crystal of power engaging in one of the most puerile form of argument. More please.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

SCIENCE has no place here in this land of DESTINY!

 

[Silence]

I knew a person who thought homeopathy could cure his cancer.
When he switched to traditional methods, it was too late.

Also, Sadness isn't an element.

 

[Smoketrail]

Also, Sadness isn't an element.

But surprise is.


Moving quickly on from that....Lets just hope the crystals plot dump is smaller than some games openings feel entitled to.

Also a bit more space between the two sets of panels would have probably helped a bit to make the reading order a bit clearer. Still, looking forward to more updates.

The next comic will just be a giant wall of text with Erin at the bottom swearing about unskippable cutscenes.

I did that, too... and it still made sense... Great job, guys!

Other than that, were any of those Quarts named "Rose" by any chance?

that would largely depend on what trousers you wear regularly and what type of underwear you wear. a light pair of trousers like that on a pajama is if anything more comfy than wearing nothing because chairs and stuff wil chafe your thighs. training trousers are also pretty good. heavy or tight denim-like fabrics on the other hand are a pain some times. it also depends on the lenght of your underpants. anything without leg parts can be uncomfortable to sit in
