Parley's next arc will be being told "No" every time she makes a suggestion.
>>83975142
>>Prune juice. A warrior's drink.
I fucking hate Star Trek. For the record, I hate Star Wars too, so none of you dumbass nerds start any franchise wars whoreshit.
>higher metabolism lol
Nope. Unless the magic tattoos give her extra strength stomach acid, not buying it.
>>83975185
Huh. That's neat.
>>83975219
It's canon.
>>83975219
You.
I need you to go back to the beginning of this comic. Every page, please point out the things that are not possible in reality.
>>83975142
D-does that mean she'll eat this much on a regular basis?
... :D
Something's bugging me a bit about Parley's musculature. It doesn't quite satisfy me. I feel like there's a way to pack a woman with muscles that doesn't immediately butch her out, a way that stays truer to a female shape, and Parley isn't getting there.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm being too harsh on Tom. It's tough to draw an impossible physique.
>>83975219
>I fucking hate Star Trek.
This, but ironically.
>Well I don't think it's any of my tell me everything right now
Has anyone ever been so far?
>>83975142
Who cares about Annie's Dad? I want to know if Jannet and William's relationship is still a Secrect!!! Is it???
>>83975283
>I feel like there's a way to pack a woman with muscles that doesn't immediately butch her out, a way that stays truer to a female shape

It's not like she's telekinetically controlling her body. She's just unlocking her body's potential through asian-style Qi bullshit. If she lifts 500 pounds it's still her muscles lifting the weight.
>>83975362
Just pick and choose your favourites:

>>83975270
And I need you to stop pretending that "~~~MAAAAAAAGIC~~~" is reasonable excuse for the reader to eat shit.
Remember everyone, you don't need consistency or internal logic in your story. The drooling retards that read it will happily lap up anything you do because you labelled it with the word 'magic'. You can still be successful even if you're a shitty writer! Fuck effort!
>>83975474
No, I'm serious. I want to know what's wrong, but I'm not as smart as you. Please do me this service.
>>83975474
Someone's butthurt.
Maybe, if you are unsuccessful, maybe it's because you can't loosen up?
Being a shitty artist myself, I feel your pain, but complaining is not the solution.
>>83975283
If you're muscular, you can still have a thin waste and wide hips, two traits of feminine beauty, but developed upper body muscles invariably result in a "T" shaped torso, because the back and pectoral muscles expand as muscle size and density increases. Essentially, anyone with a strong upper body will have wide, mannish shoulders. Also, the lower body fat percentage needed to show off muscle definition means that fatty parts of the body, like tits, will shrink.
>>83975574
Good points, but I don't mind. Parley's bretty qt! :3
>>83975291
Took me a minute to figure out the difference between the first two.
They ruined her. Now she's just a muscle-girl fetish.
Shouldn't there be a dash in Annie's speechbubble?
"Well, i don't think it's any of my- Tell me everything, right now!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tpq7rJEOHA
>>83975910
he omitted the dash for comedic value. it's a little harder to read, but it gives the impression that Annie segued immediately from one thought to a contradictory one without even the slightest pause
>>83975474
The whole basis of magic in gkc is "if enough people believe it, it becomes true". It's how Coyote and other fantasy creatures came into being.
I don't know if Tom confirmed it but in gkc, science and logic itself are probably just another system that works because enough people believe it.
>>83975939
Well, we already knew that, though.
Annie can't have coherent thoughts.
She's just a big dumb giant after all.
Haha!
>>83975142
So... No handjobs for the forseeable future.
>>83976060
Or ... more of them!

So, magnets or upside down photo?
>>83976070
>>83976002
That might explain why me and all the other fucks who read this comic have stuck around with it for so long. We 'believed' that what we were reading was a worthwhile comic. Except in the real world, bullshit doesn't suddenly become fact if you delude yourself into thinking so.
So unless people "believe" that higher metabolism=larger stomach capacity, I'm still calling Tom out for being a fucking hack.
Maybe the little sad sack should nut up and kill himself already. Do us all a favor.
>>83976002
So... it's literally just how 40k Ork tech works?
Perfect.
>>83976136
If you want to work on your writing skills, you're very welcome to write some smut fics for us.
>>83976136
it is not necessary to be this mad about a minor scientific error in a webcomic
>>83976136
Because it's entirely implausible that she continually ate bigger portions as her training progressed, amirite?
>>83976137
>GKC ripping off 40K
Oh, that tears it. It's bad enough this comic runs on a shitty magic system, but I don't need be reminded of THAT cancerous franchise.
Britain needs to be fucking nuked into a goddamned crater. I can fucking live without Doctor Who.

I am entertained.
You don't seem to be.
>>83976528
I think it's more that Annie wants to defend Daddy.
>>83976453
Nigga, please. Coyote merely warped physical space to enlarge and transport Annie's thumb to the lunar surface. Again, just because it's magic doesn't mean you can't explain it.
Don't try me.

Hack writing is unacceptable.

How the hell is this more believable than a girl eating a bit more?
>>83976665
Because space folding is an actual process by which something happens. There is no explanation for how Parley is able to eat so much. The actual mechanism is not given.

The problem is not that it's happening, but that we don't know WHY it's happening. What's the fucking trick, Tom?
>>83976739
The explanation is quite simple, really. It's the commonly known process ofit's fucking magic you cunt.
>>83975142
She must pass some terrible gas.
That last speechbuble is a fucking travesty.
>>83976793
WHAT. KIND. OF. MAGIC? Is it a spell? Does she indeed have a ward tattoo that turns her stomach into a fucking black hole? Has she been infused with magical being that feeds on what she eats?
The fuck is actually happening here? Scratch that, I know exactly what's happening here. We live in an era where thinking is considered bad.
Welcome to the Idiocracy.
>>83976739
Then why is magic a feasible explanation for the Annie thumb but not the Parley tumm?
She's just eating a lot.
Let's assume either she is accustomed to that and has expanded the size of her stomach.
Judging by the empty plates and how little is actually on them it's not more than at an eating competition.
The reason why she won't grow fat is because of her hyper metabolism.
What part of this process is unexplained?
>>83976739
>WHY it's happening
Because she has higher metabolism?
>>83976888
I wish I could be as enlightened as you.
>>83976888
Yes, all of this.
>>83976888
The wards need power. They convert some of the food into MP. Quite simple.
Is this your first time replenishing stats via consumables?
>>83976922
>MP
NO!!
FOOD REGENERATES HEALTH!
BEVERAGES REGENERATE MP!!
>>83976888
okay, this is the point where I start to think you must be trolling us. you are acting like a parody of a real person. we are not "anti-thinking" or whatever you seem to think we are, just because we don't get as worked up as you do over small scientific errors in a sci-fi fantasy webcomic
>>83976888
>WHAT. KIND. OF. MAGIC? Is it a spell? Does she indeed have a ward tattoo that turns her stomach into a fucking black hole? Has she been infused with magical being that feeds on what she eats?
Hey, until it actually becomes important to the plot, it actually doesn't matter.
If dragonslayer muscles actually comes into things, then a more thorough explanation is needed.
Until then, do you need the characters to stop what they're doing every time they use a computer to explain how it works?
Must be why you hate Star Trek. You don't understand how storytelling works within the context of speculative fiction.
>>83976888
Hey, how about this: even Parley doesn't understand how it works and just simplifies it for the people at the table
>>83976943
Well, she's warrior class. It's HP and stamina for her.
>>83976888
>wards protect body from harm
>body can now run everything in overdrive without harming itself
>her stomach can now excrete highly concentrated acid and enzymes without digesting itself
Things are not self-limiting anymore. That includes her digestion, not just her muscles.
>>83976136
>So unless people "believe" that higher metabolism=larger stomach capacity
You'd be surprised by the common folk's beliefs.
>>83976898
>Then why is magic a feasible explanation for the Annie thumb but not the Parley tumm?
First of all, kill yourself for trying to be cute, you festering sack of filth. Second, because the limits of the human stomach are well known, and metabolism only has anything to do with how fast you digest food. It has nothing to do with physically fitting things in your stomach.
>>83976948
>Hey, until it actually becomes important to the plot, it actually doesn't matter.
If it's not important to the plot, it should not be brought up in the first place.
And I hate Star Trek because it fucking sucks.
>>83975219
She has higher metabolism because she's /fit/
>prune juice and a sleeping smitty

>>83975362
muscles =/= 'butch'
The only men who think that way are those who don't have any muscles of their own.
>>83976888
Trips confirm, you are the chosen autist. Teach me you ways, senpai.
I think that we should stop talking about what a stupid autist believes the limits of magic are and start focusing on how it's now practically canon with Parley's new diet that sheSHITS MOUNTAINS.
>>83977037
Not every little thing needs to be explained. It's not exactly a hard sci-fi anyway, and entertaining story is more important than imaginary physics of imaginary world.

>>83977134
>>83977037
>If it's not important to the plot, it should not be brought up in the first place.
Yes, expanding the world should never happen. Only the details the drive the plot to the inevitable conclusion.
Also, foreshadowing and setting things up for later. Storytelling should be as dry and predictable a process as possible. The audience should loath the procession, and there should never be any digressions for the sake of mood, pacing, presentation, world-building, characterization, or anything at all. Story-telling is, of course, a science, and all these artistic flourishes are a waste of time and effort on everyone's part.
>And I hate Star Trek because it fucking sucks.
Well that's only true of Enterprise.
>>83976461
>>83977136
>Not every little thing needs to be explained.
This is why I will never take /co/'s opinion on anything seriously. You "people" actually endorse bad writing. You all need to be hunted down and shot.
>>83977182
How can you function in real life where not everything is explained to you unless you go out of your way to research everything you encounter?

The representative gestalt of the human Id, the very essence of how humanity is 100% unpleasable. There is no reason whatsoever to put any "artistic flourishes" into your story. Just get it over with and get paid so the rest of us can move on to the next meaningless distraction.

It IS anti-intellectual, you fucking retard. Nothing should go without analysis, and nothing is immune to scrutiny. You're a sapient being with the capacity to analyze your surroundings and recognize patterns which you may harness for your benefit.
Your brain, is a goddamned miracle(yes, even yours). The very notion of "turning it off" is sick.

>>83975219
What? Are you dumb? Have you never seen a person with high metabolism put away food? When I was a kid running around like a hyperactive squirrel I easily put away 4-5 plates at an all you can eat place. Nowadays I can only do 2-4 plates, and I'm still lean with going to the gym only 3 days a week.
>>83975474
