Comic #437

By /

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…

        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.

    if you look at the last part of this the dirt has a little face kindof or thats something else

    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!

    1. Fashionable Duck

      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.

    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)

    1. D3monic Unicorn

      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

    2. Chickenfromthefront

      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.

      1. Biosaur

        Wow. MATH!!!! 😀
        But we are still assuming that they are cubes, but the game calls them “tiles”, which is really vague.

      2. Chickenfromthefront

        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.

    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 •-•’

    2. Ironwill233

      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

    3. D3monic Unicorn

      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?

  9. Bantya

    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!

    1. Bantya

      And you know, June is smart. This solution is something an IDIOT could come up with, and some of you did.

    2. Falcon

      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.

      3. Acolyte of Ditto

        Well, sorry the name of “dirt bomb” wasn’t mentioned in the comic, so I’m calling it a Dirt Decompression Blast.

      3. Pythor728

        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

  14. Annonymus

    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.

  16. EpicMoonBlade

    Where is Maxx anyway? With him being the main character and all you would think he would have to be there…

  17. Ironwill233

    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

  19. Sky Render

    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!

    1. Ironwill233

      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

      1. FearPorygon

        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

    1. emeraldninjaiv

      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

  22. Blades

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! First Xane gets Darth-Mauled, and now June has some dirt on Xylan… Literally.

    2. Crimson Al

      Then his robe will get blown away, and we can see his “fabulous” Rapunzel hair. Now sold in Naiad form!

      2. FearPorygon

        “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

  26. PrinceKhalel

    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.

    2. P.T.G

      I completely agree, June’s really blasting through everything with no regards to how dangerous said thing is. BREAK THE PLOT ARMOOR!

  29. King Kyle

    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

  32. 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 🙂 )

  33. Twister

    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?

  35. D3monic Unicorn

    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.”

  36. Jordon Freemon

    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!

  37. fra32

    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

  39. Cykrion

    I really want june to get really badly beaten up or injured. Im getting really tired of this overpowered june crap.

    1. Ironwill233

      This is just the dungeon junk plus I thin xylan got something up his sleeve such as skeltron

  40. powdershouter

    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

    1. Shadow_Mantis

      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.

  43. dederp5000

    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.

    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
