...the next update is....

[0beron]

...FOURTH OF JULY!!! Assuming Rob stays on schedule and doesn't skip because of the holiday (totally understandable if he does) then the next comic is coming out on U.S. Independence Day...which means those Archons had BETTER be doing another Shockamancy display :p

[Finn MacCool]

it would also be a good occasion to kill off the king, wouldn't it?

[0beron]

OMG I didn't think about that! Oh please Rob, please let this be the plan (I don't like when authors go OUT of their way to set up a plot so it matches a real-life event, but if the timing works out well, then it's awesome!)

[drachefly]

I'd bet against that. It could happen, but that would be seriously rushed.

[0beron]

Hmm I suppose so. The Archons ARE right in the stack, so I think it's plausible...and it may seem rushed, unless there is something else bigger coming. As I've hypothesized before, I don't think the battle for Jetstone is actually the "most important" thing in the plot right now, the battle over Parson is. In fact, I have a suspicion that when the city falls to GK (which could be very soon) Wanda will turn and start a new side, and become yet ANOTHER party lobbying for Parson.

Well, while it's still unclear what EXACTLY happened in that update, it's close enough to "killing a king" for my liking! Thanks for the well-timed update Rob! :p

[drachefly]

Yeah. I didn't anticipate having the king die, then still be around to do the other things he needs to do, plot-wise.

Schroedinger's King?

Nah, bad analogy.

Anyway, I didn't lose me quatloos just yet, as Slately still draws breath. Or whatever.

That depends on which king you're looking at.....
