Looks like June isn’t out of tricks after all. Dirt can’t be compressed, you say. A technicality, I say.
Though if June isn’t giving up the ghost that easily, I doubt that Xylan will…

The Legend Of Maxx
A webcomic about friendship, exploration, stupidity and the ongoing battle against evil and also zombies
Ha, Dirt ‘nade.
Dirt nuke nade *
I think you mean Holy Dirt Grenade.
@ptg yas
ONE! TWO! FIVE!
Three, sir!!
First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
HAAALELLUJAH!
*kaboom*
Illuminati confirmed.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!
Ok I love the comic but I figured after the wait he would do something better
is it just me or in the last panel the dirt bomb has a face?
Nope, It’s not just you.
First!
oops… Second?
Does it really matter. T_T
Nope. 🙂
…
Go drown.
Get it?
heeheeheeheehee
Yes XD
Why u look like DanTDM?
You shouldn’t have done that…
You’ve made a terrible mistake, haven’t you?
June will never accept defeat.
June, now that’s just dirty.
Is that bad?
It’s freaking awesome
She has a lot of dirt on him right now.
I bet the dry cleaner for his cloak is going to quit
Wow, this comic got unusually dirty!
I think she soiled his robes.
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
@Green Starship
TBH I think his robes are ALREADY not the cleanest. I doubt he is wearing underpants. 😛
Stop saying dirty stuff! D:
if you look at the last part of this the dirt has a little face kindof or thats something else
Yep, I noticed that.
It’s actualy an enlarged outline of the dirt nuke
hehe June’s so mischievous, as always. I like seeing the big bad on the ropes so early, especially when the heroine has such style. Although I’m worried a few plot twists and hard fights are on the horizon… After all, I’m certain the series still has a very long life ahead of it. Great comic!
I was thinking, when Maxx DOES save Terraria, I think Jesse should go to mini storylines like finding Chlorophyte or just those kinds of storyless comics you see on the Sunday paper.
Or make a new threat and have maxx stop That to
Or the post hardmode stuff that’s half the game
Or a version of the comic where flower replaces guidey as the wizard, with guidey saying random facts.
He isn’t ever going to save terraria at the slow pace this comic is going
Wouldn’t dirt release a lot of heat when highly compressed, and melt? and when decompressed, make the air a lot colder? and wouldn’t it fill the room? It IS 50 tons…
Instant dirt lava grenade!!!!
(That cools down really fast and traps you inside)
Mostly correct. While it would release the heat during compression, it would have lost all that heat during the time they were in the dungeon, making it room temperature. The room (if laws of physics are obeyed, which, considering terraria’s loose grasp on them they probably won’t) ought to be a deep freezer after the decompression though
Well, considering the average density of loose, dry dirt is about 1.25 kg/L, to get 50 tonnes of dirt you would only need about 40 cubed meters of dirt. Since three Terraria blocks are about two meters is every Terraria block 0.66 meters, this means that, considering Terraria blocks are cubes, not flat, 50 tonnes of dirt would only be around 90 dirt blocks, which would EASILY fit in Xylan’s throne room.
Wow. MATH!!!! 😀
But we are still assuming that they are cubes, but the game calls them “tiles”, which is really vague.
But the item is called a Dirt BLOCK, but I don’t know the exact meaning of this word. In my head the word makes it sound like a cube, but that might just be the same Minecrafty part of my brain that tells me ‘why isn’t my hand bobbing up and down?’ when I’m walking.
There actually is an option to change the hand not bobbing up and down.
How much of this did you guys get from Wikipedia 😛
Personally none, I’m just really good at Physics! 🙂
Physics FTW!!!
Dirt can’t be compressed, you say. A technicality, I say.
-The man himself, Jesse
Here I was thinking that a character who’s always had their way was about to get the short end of the stick… June has honestly become probably my least favorite character because she never has to actually deal with the problems that come at her, so we never really get to see how she handles them. Sorry if this sounds a bit critical •-•’
Hopefully Xylan has a backup plan…
Or June is really just bad*** but I’m sure she would half to deal with something at some point plus she keeps me on the edge of my seat
The flaw there is that this is EXACTLY how she handles them, by coming in prepared. She’s had about 200ish years working with that dirt rod. She’s got to know some tricks, why not use them?
I don’t think June won just like that. It’s going to be like a Dragon Ball Z thing. It’s… it’s OVER NINE THOUSAND!
And you know, June is smart. This solution is something an IDIOT could come up with, and some of you did.
Soemthing I noticed was that, if you look at Xylan’s hands, they’re white. Either he’s really frikkin pale(Which makes sense, being Mr. Emo Necromancer in the Dungeon all the time) Or he’s a lich himself, aka Skeletron.
Simple answer: between the dungeon and the robe, he prolly hasn’t seen sunlight in years
No, it’s because he’s a naiad. Most naiads have pale skin.
“Mr. Emo Necromancer”: Nice one,
I hope it’s a good fight or they get to fight skeltron either one works
June has all of the plot armor. All of it ;_;
😀
And we aaaaaaaaaallllllllllll know he’s not dead.
I am rooting for him, so he better be alive! >:]
I HAVE A FAN
I would hope so, it must get hot in that dungeon.
LOL…but, he does have epic water magic, for a MURDEROUS LUNATIC!
Oh, sorry, that’s Xane
Well, I guess it’s possible too make a dirt bomb
Dirt-nade
Well, sorry the name of “dirt-nade” wasn’t mentioned in the comic, so I’m calling it a dirt bomb
Awwww…but dirt-nade has that magical ring to its name
Well, sorry the name of “dirt bomb” wasn’t mentioned in the comic, so I’m calling it a Dirt Decompression Blast.
Remember the Dirt Bomb from Scorched Earth?
Well, I guess everyone has thier own names for dirt based weapons
With the power of a stick(or five) of TNT, it is the rocket mk4 of the dirt world(comparing the bomb to terrarian rockets)
Well, I guess you can compare dirt weapons too actually weapons, but the “dirt bomb” in the comic only makes dirt fly through out the area, it doesn’t damage terrain, so you shouldn’t compare the dirt bomb too explosives that damage terrain
well, yes theoretically you could compress dirt to this point by making the atoms touch eachother and take the electrons out of their shells and put them in the nucleus to save space but, well, that would be like detonating some googolplexes (yes, that’s really a number: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googolplex) of atom bombs in that single point.

Uhm…
…
Wow.
I SMELL HACKS
* I smell life hacks and plus how do u smell hacks r u an amdin 0-0
What’s an amdin?
OOOH you mean ADMIN
yum.
Where is Maxx anyway? With him being the main character and all you would think he would have to be there…
June never going to have to respawn she is always one step ahead so the naida get there faced punched off onto the floor and smashed by 50 tons of dirt
June is so going to get A job from the humans as weapon maker
Heck, lugging around 50 tonnes of dirt is pretty normal in Terraria. You can hold 999 units of the stuff in the same amount of space as a wooden sword takes up!
But she’s an npc she can only hold about 15 spaces if she’s like the merchant but if block or dirt is a foot it should be about 3-5 lbs do the math to 50 tons and how many blocks that would take up
Each block is 8 cubic feet… 4 pounds per foot^3, 32 pounds per block, 500 tons=1000000 pounds, 1000000/32=31250, so about 31.25 stacks…seems legit. Also, this is 1 cubic inch now…or…was
I am a mathematician
Oooh……50 tons…awkward.
Still, that’s about 3 stacks. Seems legit
So, Juniper is 23 pixels tall, and the one-inch sphere is 4 pixels tall …
DON’T COUNT BRO. IT ISN’T BEING HELD TOGETHER AT 1 INCH. Also, one terraria block is two feet, so the inch would be less than a pixel in size
I see a Dragonball Z reference coming…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! First Xane gets Darth-Mauled, and now June has some dirt on Xylan… Literally.
And that’s where skeletron’s body went!
yep.
The dirt will fill up the room and trap Xylan.
And THEM
Then his robe will get blown away, and we can see his “fabulous” Rapunzel hair. Now sold in Naiad form!
Just add water and we’ll see some mud wrestling.
I wouldn’t mind seeing June and Hanny mud wrestling… 😉
You need to stop
“As much as I would like to see this settled violently, and in a large pit of mud, we have other things to worry about”
Kudos to whoever gets the reference
For some reason when I read Xylan’s lines I hear a young Mike Tyson’s voice.
wow…
Ah, come on! That plot armor is way too powerful. I was expecting June to be completely useless and the three (Cyril, Aley, and Hannah) would be the one to battle Xylan.
why does xylan remind me so much of magicka. :l
June needs her plot armor broken. If not by something in the dungeon then maybe something in hell.
I talked to jesse about that
He said she will not be a crutch to them for much longer. and I think she will be knocked down to Hannah’s rank is what I’m guessing.
I completely agree, June’s really blasting through everything with no regards to how dangerous said thing is. BREAK THE PLOT ARMOOR!
Wait, if thats 50 tons it should:
A: make the boom when it hits the ground, and
B: completely fill the entire panel with exploding dirt
It even sure what comes after quadriple so that is my next bet placement
Quintuple
Thanks
Clever using a dirt bomb, June.
I swear, if you don’t all worship the ground I walk on after this page something is seriously wrong with you…
(Honestly, I laughed so hard at this comic XD June is still the best. And Xylan’s response to that is so priceless! Great work, Jesse! You always keep June awesome 🙂 )
That looks NOTHING like Juniper, you know
Too bad then, June. Some of us don’t hate you OR worship you. We just like how ya plan. No more, no less…. Huh…. Was that a pebble?
Cyril used dirt shield!!!!!
A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Dirt Grenade of Antioch, saying, “Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.” And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals … Now did the Lord say, “First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Dirt Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”
I now realize I got the quote wrong and I don’t feel like fixing it 🙁
Uh is that from the bible
Ever seen Monty Python’s The Holy Grale? It’s from that
*Grail, and here’s the scene
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOrgLj9lOwk
This little battle is becoming a deduction game with turns to see which of them will overcome the other with their turn. But then in the next comic.. the tables turn again. I was kinda hoping June would endure a humbling experience for once. lol I can’t say I don’t enjoy all of these sooo much, though. I love’em!
If I didn’t make any mistakes, then that ball has a density of 6097560 g/cm^3, while normal dirt has a density of probably 1.2g/cm^3, meaning that june collected 48 m³ dirt for that ball. Correct me if something is wrong
NO ONE is gonna correct you
No one know how to correct u
I know how to, I just don’t feel like putting forth the effort. XD
Where did she pull that out from?
Don’t dwell on it.
HAMMERSPACE!
Answer to the universe, HAMMERSPACE!!!!!!
I really want june to get really badly beaten up or injured. Im getting really tired of this overpowered june crap.
This is just the dungeon junk plus I thin xylan got something up his sleeve such as skeltron
Also maxx could have got possessed and half to fight June
and this kids is why you never ever doubt June you just wait to see when she kicks ass which is every fight shes in
When do the comments come out?
The eyes… they stare into my soul. Also, for what ever reason, Endermen seem to have an almost lax feel to them when you look at their faces… which is why my skin in Minecraft is an Enderman, Also the patterns on the head and body look cool.
Does anyone else think the comments can be about as funny the strip
Preemptive Strike! Use Item. Godly holy dirt grenade of epicness. Critical strike! June Leveled up! Guidey leveled up! Guidey learned summon godly holy dirt grenade of epicness! Hannah is shocked! Maxx is nowhere to be found! You earned 100 epicness points.
LOL
Aley has fainted
so she basically made a black hole out of dirt.
Huh.
Heh, I knew that June would have something up her sleeve. >_>
But she has no sleeves
That is a square sphere. Wat.
Fifty tons of dirt is impossible without creating about 78,013.463 blah blah blah atom bombs!
Absolutely correct, sir! Your math is irrefutable!
The actual number is 7801346323584717385374867357257284285285259 atom bombs
Omg so funny he should have run away
He SHOULD have summoned more traps… *Silly Cyril, living’s for kids!*
it looks like June is,
playing dirty!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I still refuse to believe that those walls were actually sealed…
Compressed Dirt Spheres; the best griefing device since the Sandgun
Coming in update w.y.z, to be released in the fabulous year 20XX.
I don’t really fell like commenting right now, and I have nothing to say, but, well, here I am anyway. I don’t know why
I would have thought it was 999 blocks compressed into a item.
*cough* deus ex machina *cough*
How was she carrying around 50 tons of dirt???
Because she’s June.
She wasn’t, her dirt rod was.
