Comic #465

By /

Looks like Smurg’s got quite the… thing going here. Let’s hope he doesn’t get ahead of himself.

Also, this is why you never trust an old man wearing a long coat and a hat with a feather in it with anything.

        I’ll tear him apart and send his remains that aren’t in the tenth circle of hell to the ELEVENTH CIRCLE OF HELL!(That’s where everyone who steals my money goes. Oh, by the way, if you were wondering what happened to the Arms Dealer, he’s suffering in the twelfth circle of Hell, where people who own shops like to flirt people more than sell stuff go when they die. There are also a million OTHER circles of hell, by the way. Just so you know.)

        I’M AN ATHEIST SO I DON’T HAVE ANY CIRCLES OF HELL!!!!!

        Woops, shouldn’t have said that out loud :3

        Actually the ‘circles of hell’ doesnt have much to do with religion. It’s from literature. Namely Inferno by Dante Alighieri (hope I spelled it right). Also, european and north american culture are based on christianity, which bases mostly on ancient roman and greek cultures (gnosthic, sophistic, stoic and so on). And I’m not even christian. I just know my roots.

        It’s fine to ignore beliefs, but being deaf and blind to culture is silly. Most atheists are not far better than uneducated christians.

        I own hexagons of hell. All full of dark magic to curse the merchants that sold villages unlegaly and then were killed by the prior owner of the village.

      8. Ironwill233

        Noobs I have decagons that are attacted on to a compsite figure , of heaven , hell and then end. Ps. You should get both side of a belief , from all prepstives and don’t just ingore tbe belief. Don’t just go by stereotypes explore the commuity and maturity level or the faith

      10. bmrjw

        I’m an atheist so I have 10 dinner plates of dead babies.

        According to about half the Christians I know, anyway. Seriously, we don’t eat babies >.>

      13. dmqza

        I have 999999999999 9001-dimensional 8-sided hyper-penrose pony-infused imaginarium Homestuck Tesseracts of holy hell and unholy heaven.

        OMFGZ

      15. Cobra

        Hello maxx…. you realize you are in the first circle of heaven… most cockiest hereos of all time….. im in 1st too….

    3. Ironwill233

      Is is that easy to invent another circle for hell. Then I’ll havw twelfth circle for all the idots in middle school *cough and skydoeskyminecraft join the swifter

      1. bmrjw

        Middle sucked for me too. High school is a lot better, I think.

        Also, making fun of sky on the internet is going to get you a lot of hate, so be careful with that.

    1. Labouka

      Well, it IS common knowledge that not only the traitors, but also the villains they aided, will always get a good load of a** whooping. XD

    3. TerrariaPro

      Yeah of it were the game I’d let the goblins finish the second panel then grind those monsters, make them aware of the fact that they’re rightless pixel chunks and then they’d cheese it

      1. TerrariaPro

        Yes, the lunatic who just invented a tenth circle of hell will act civilized with the jerk that handed over the village to goblins or make a deal with said goblins

  8. HUGE fan

    ive got to hand it to Smurg, he’s doing a much better job than Grog was. the merchant had better watch his back

    1. Zekrua

      You KIDDING?!
      I thought he was an idiot ever since I saw the comic where he sold the freaking city which WASN’T his to another stinking RACE!
      I feel sorry for the Demolitionist for not being able to stop him, not the STINKING MERCHANT!
      THIS is why I kill goblins. THIS IS WHY I DON’T TRUST THE MERCHANT TO WATCH MY VILLAGE INSTEAD OF THE GUIDE!!!

      1. Invader mimzell

        Wow that’s totally what I did, now if you excuse me I gotta call my guide.
        Hello Jeff? How’s it going- WHAT? BLOOD MOON? MERCHANT GOING CRAZY?
        What in the name of ostra is goi- hello? Jeff? Jeff? Uh oh… Gotta go guys.

      3. Invader mimzell

        Ok,guide almost killed, lecture for merchant,zombies frequently coming (for now…), totally normal day today

      4. Twister

        Then I take out my razor pine and spectre armor and commence the zombie genocide.

        I play IOS (1.2) I still have full Dragon Armor (better than Melee Chrolophyte) and legendary Tizona

  13. Astrid16

    Well. This has only a few different ways that it can play out. I am excited to see which path Maxx takes.

    I love how the goblins are civilized. It made me smile.

    Why am I imagining the head goblin (does he have a name?) with a British voice? Maybe I’ve been watching too much Doctor Who.

      1. Zace

        Banners which you get from killing Goblins. I presume in this case those are supposed to be the four goblins that live there

    2. EpicMoonBlade

      His name is Smurg. Don’t you remember the whole “You are such a disappointment, Smurg.” thing? He got a promotion after Lord Grog died.

      1. Astrid16

        It’s all your fault, EMB. Sheesh. Look at all the time I am now wasting on Pinterest and Netflix because of the obsessions you have so graciously bequeathed upon me. (Including, but not limited to) Brandon Sanderson, Doctor Who, and Artemis Fowl. Huh. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head, I thought there were more. Oh, yeah! Anime. You’ve pulled me into that too. And Dengeki Daisy.

        You hold the strings to my fragile, broken puppet. (haha! Haha!)

        Ah, yes. Smurg. My bad. You can forgive me, Jesse. Right? 🙂 Been a busy fall/winter for me, what with all these obsessions that’ve been thrown on my shoulders.

      2. Astrid16

        Oh! I just thought of more! You ALSO pulled me into reading that one comic…uh…what was it called? Legend of Maxx? Remember that one? It’s pretty addicting.

        And then there’s Aaron Kite’s books…and…hang on. More’ll come to me.

  18. TheNerdyVillager

    BTW, goblins ARE just grindable monsters. Another reason why they’re not that intelligent.

  22. Kmonkey

    The realization on Maxx’s face was so funny to me!!

    Thanks for your amazing work, and as always keep it up!

    1. FCtheHalfDragon

      I think the snitch was the merchant, since he will do almost anything for money. which means xane probably bribed him way ahead of time. snitches tend to work better when bribed with money instead of death threats.

      3. Terrariacat12345

        The ‘pay’ was ‘All the seconds I don’t kill you until you bring me another prisoner’ (Xane)

  30. FCtheHalfDragon

    i have an idea. let there be some more goblin moments with Smurg talking to the Goblin Tinkerer. also, Smurg, be angry at the Merchant too, since he didn’t have the right to give you the village in the first place. (still want to see the Old Man/Clothier come into this story at some time)

  33. Astrid16

    Hey, Jesse. I have a bit of constructive (*not* condescending) criticism. I feel like you relied too much on italics in your dialogue. I think that authors need to trust their characters a bit more. As long as each character has a unique voice (which you’ve mastered) you will hardly need to use italics. We can already hear the sarcastic/patronizing/etc tone, and we don’t usually need the emphasis of special fonts. Unless the character is saying something OOC, of course, in which case fonts can be a great help. 😛

    1. Jesse

      I think that’s pretty valid criticism! I try to err more on the side of simplicity with my writing these days, and that’s definitely one more way I could leave things up to the reader. Thanks for the comment!

    Welcome to the ninth circle of hell, mister merchant! Your here because only traitors would sell the village of someone else. And you just happened to have done that!

      1. Invader mimzell

        New NPCs that should be met next! Stylist, cyborg, party girl, steampunk, truffle, clothier, pirate, and angler!

  39. That one guy from Planet of the apes.

    Damn you, Damn you all(by all I mean the merchant) to hell! You sold it up!

    1. bmrjw

      Maxx has been in Akinator for a long time. I looked a long time ago, and if he WASN’T in there, I would’ve added him.

  43. willsp

    my best guess to what happens next is the merchant gets banished but maxx lets the goblins stay cause they didn’t do anything wrong…or he might just banish them all aswell

  47. iw110781

    Maxx 2 do list : Kill merchant, Kill Smurg, make next comic strip, get more adoring fans, sit back and relax with a cup of ale and deny everything….
