Hehe...

[T Campbell]

You know, I think Riff's eyebrows have seen more action since Torg's return than during the five years before it. Senti-mental or not, he seems to have gotten more expressive. Maybe he's changed in Torg's absence, too?

[DSCrankshaw]

soxclinton: Riff is having problems coming to terms with the way that Torg has developed since traveling to the DoL by himself. Think about it -- did the pre-DoL Torg think things through very critically, or at all?

When it came to Aylee, Torg argued with Riff all the time. I don't think this comic would be out-of-character for Torg pre-TWR.

[penpen15]

Naw. If Torg were female, he would have pulled a baseball bat out of his purse and beat Riff down. Or maybe that's just Gwynn.

[PikaPuff]

seriously. WTF

this is the third twist omg wait anticlimax pull down thing this week isn't it?

first it's torg getting taken, then it's the house for sale, then it's the cocoon for sale.

all fakeouts the next day.

.. OH YEAH! AND THE XMAS TREE! that fake'd out the next day too.

blargh.

don't get me wrong. it's all awesome. but. blarg.

Hehe, this one had me laughing out loud.
"who dries signs on alien cocoons" got me, especially.. .its such an obvious question to ask, and yet, it caught me off guard.

i notice an increase in quality of the art, the lines are clean and straight, and yet... seems simpler then before, there are Less lines. there is more impressionism, more implied shape. tis nifty.

[Bassem]

I don't know how much I'm liking this little bundle these past few days. I'm still getting used to the characters being out of character, mostly Riff - and the avalanche of little rises and falls from one day to the next.

It's all good =]

[Kamae]

Just get on with a damn plotline!!! Seriously...this switcheroo is played out.

And lordy, Torg's turned bitchy.

[Lareit]

Torg deserves to be bitchy. He's been crapped on constantly by everyone, riff included the whole comic. Yet continued to be the most good, good person on the series*minus possibly Kiki who's totally useless*.

He's due.

[Rocketfox]

Heehee. I'm really enjoying Screwup Riff at the mo.

This post-TWR Torg/Riff switch has been interesting.

[Mutant for Hire]

Torg really has changed. He's going around all the time now without a flannel shirt on. Interesting...

[Thortok2000]

Not quite funny.

[Creepser]

Aside from being silly as often as possible - and I mean silly with total kindness - Torg's been showing a certain streak of high integrity every once in a while before, mostly on the sly, though.
Ever since TWR that streak has been dangling out in the open. Following Riff's conclusion this would mean that:
1.) High integrity is a female thing which ...
2.) ... bothers men greatly.

[Crow]

Reading the comic first thing in the morning provoked a 'wtf?'.
Reading this topic then rereading comic later provoked laughter.
Nothing more to say.

Seconded! 0.7 poings out of one!

P.S.: Isn't putting the "for sale" sign on Aylee a freudian slip at least? How many clearly non-denial, non-blunder things has Riff said or done since TWR except for Xmas? Didn't I hear his mind snap or something on the third panel?

P.P.S.: since they don't own the house at all, it can't be seized either except for military requisition - which almost never happens! Isn't it nifty?

P.P.P.S.: Didn't Torg agree to sell Aylee last time after bun-bun gave Torg a cut on the deal? He even said "good bunny"! *muahaha*
