Comic #507: This Bodes Ill

By /

Don’t worry, I’m sure Xane just wants to catch up over a cup of coffee.

Death coffee.

      6. Xane

        its pronounced Xane. (ecks-ane) X-ane.
        also, im not insane, im X-ANE! BAHAHAHAHHAAHAHBLEELELRbleaurrghhahahah

      10. June's Psychopath Dad

        I thought it was pronounced ‘Zane’ since, you know, ‘x’ is pronounced ‘z’ a lot. Like xylophone, Xavier, like that. And Xylan being pronounced ‘Zillan’ and Xyvareth is ‘Ziv-are-ith’ and Xygvane is ‘Zig-vane’

      Congratz, SamTTM. You managed to make me completely mad with this ”Comment”. I’m just asking myself: When will the time come where people notice that it has no point of being first and writing that…

      1. Poa

        At first I supported the “cause of stopping the firsts,” but now this joke is getting old. Can we just kill this running joke now? I mean, the people who say first aren’t really causing any harm, and the feeling you get when you comment first is pretty cool…

      2. Xylan

        I don’t know… I pretty much hate it when people don’t get the meaning of the comment section… Hmm, I will try to be cool now with people who write first, as long as they write something else too

      3. mabel pines

        first!……are you mad now? maybe this is the reason why “first”.are annoying! Because they are everwhere without reason! Even you don’t know the story of LoM, you still can write “first” at everywhere!

      4. Xylan

        Hmm… On second thoughts, I don’t get mad, It just gives me doubts and second thoughts about humanity, although that’s a different thing. (At least in my opinion,) Comments are here to share your thoughts about the comic, not really here to say some kind of useless crap like ”First!” It just wears me down…

    5. slimebunny

      I fell like eny first comment is for you to reply and have your comment seen,
      Enywaaayyyssss,
      What’s it mean by ” this bodes III” what’s the I and II if enyone has links to I and II pls help me

    1. John Cena!

      And the death coffee. Nice touch. Did he drink some when he was there after killing the smart alek?

    3. Dark Aeon

      Because This Bodes I and This Bodes II never took off the market…
      Because reading comics of imaginary characters is perfect material for a game…
      Introduciiiiing-This Bodes III! Now with III times as much Boding!

      2. Tixel

        Agreed, and Merchant, why is money so important to you?

        P.S. – What do you think of the traveling merchant? Just wondering!

  12. mrwizard70

    Dear Jesse, I have read this comic 20 or 30 times. I still don’t get it. Can I please leave?

      2. Elder Fungus

        Maxx said “Wev’e got all the time in the world! It’s not like someone’s chasing us!”

        And the Dryad Guard had just woken up and seen a creepily Xaney message on a tree.

  13. LoZ Wolf

    Didn’t those two have spears, or did I imagine it. In that case who commissioned guard duty to unarmed guards. If you don’t get the irony read the first comic of the bottom row and on, skip the last comic and then read the first row.

    1. Elder Fungus

      Perhaps the guards have their spears in their inventory? Like June has her dirt rod in her inventory, and Cyril has his books in his.

      Or perhaps its simply hammerspace?

      Or perhaps its an outer space super slug princess from Jupiter?

      3. Dark Aeon

        Every NPC has infinite hammer space.
        Seriously, you could by 9.9999…x10^infinity of anything and the vendor would still have more.

        How deep do those pockets go?

      4. AndrewTheTerrarian

        My guess: 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 Light Years deep.

        Close.

  15. Leader of the djinn

    I wonder when they will cross the ocean do reach my land. And then meet me. Comedy in over 9000 in this comic.

  16. PrinceKhalel

    Is the dramatic irony that nobody’s complaining and Maxx’s implying that the two are complaining, meaning that they’ll be on oaring duty?

    3. Elder Fungus

      Its that Maxx is saying they have lots of time, nobody’s chasing them, etc, but Xane is tracking them down and leaving creepy messages behind.

      1. mabel pines

        YES! I reading all of them just now!! this is from the last destination part 2! Now I am sad and feel emptyless! So I use his picture as my profile pic, that will let me feel better……maybe.

      2. LeOcelot

        Cool! I read them thanks to Jesse! (Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *takes another deep breath* don’t make this go on, anyway, Thanks SOO much Jesse!

      4. mabel pines

        soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
        Like this? Yeah, bitf is amazing! (I think I will be delected, I deserved that O.o)

    If you do not know what dramatic irony is:

    irony

    2.
    Literature.
    a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.

    dramatic irony
    noun
    1.
    (theatre) the irony occurring when the implications…

    1. squirrel_killer

      If you still do not get it: The irony comes from the Maxx saying it is not like anyone is chasing them when Xane is clearly chasing them and we, the audience, are fully aware of this fact but Maxx is not.

  22. Samantha

    The irony is in the fact what Cyril said; That the entire adventure has consisted only of pointless delay. And that this specific page is all the same. Pointless delay 😛

  26. Xylan

    Since the Naiads should be almost at the East Ocean, I guess the Naiad will just catch up in the next comic, but Maxx and his gang will manage to get away in the last second.

    Or it will end up in a dramatic fight like in Comic #411…

    1. Xylan

      And it justs sucks when you have to clean up your screen because you spit all the tea into the screen, thanks to the irony in this comic…

    1. Lord_Nai

      Xane have you ever tried I.C.B.M.s? you could hit their suicide boat AND kill the dryad with the same shot since the resulting explosion would kill or irradiate everything. also your deadminonsayswhat? trick works like a charm maxx would probably fall for it. also does your sword have a name?

  35. Luigi

    So yeah, I’m Canadian Luigi, and people keep saying stuff like
    “You Canadians always wait for the government to pay your hospital bills.”

    Then, I say things such as
    “Now I have to go to the hospital to get my feelings checked…”

  37. Skeledeath

    Ok, people of the Terraria fanbase. I have a big problem. I tried to get onto my main world, to mine some souls and stuff, when it wouldn’t load. I tried like 20 times and nothing happened. I’m freaking out right now! 🙁

    Please tell me how to recover my stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sincerelly, Alexx/Skeledeath

    P.S. I use the console version, so most PC methods I’ve already googled wont work.

      1. LeOcelot

        I play mobile for years now (it is the glitchiest game I have ever played, it plays fine but when I use the shadowbeam staff it laggs at first and sometimes the textures get mixed up) and I just turn off my iPad and turn it back on, try that!

      3. Skeledeath

        I think what I’m going to do is *sigh* try until Christmas to save my stuff, and if it doesn’t work, delete everything and start from scratch.

        This sucks.

    1. LeOcelot

      I understand this comment, it is used for comical relief, the others are completely useless and do not help anyone, they are not funny, and are completely useless. Short rant written by LeOcelot

    2. Skeledeath

      Wait…

      Is Elder Fungus a really old truffle?

      All this time, we had been completely obsessed with finding the truffle, but he was right in front of us all along!

  40. LeOcelot

    And people if my questions seem like essays to you I had to do 7 essay questions in Science class and for some reason I’m still in the mood!

  43. Mazekial

    The second I read Cyril’s line in panel 5 my mind instantly flashed back to the Cursed Vikings/Skellerina arc from, like, 150 comics ago. Then I got the sudden urge to go swimming in the archives to find and re-read that arc all over again.

    Good times, good times. Until that whole “and Ina!” bit at the end. Pretty sad. Plus, with Cyril magically (literally) evading certain death all this time since, he hasn’t gotten the sweet “d’aaaaaaw” moment of reunion in Heaven wherein they catch up for about an hour before Cyril complains about what got him killed (again) and wishing he could stay dead, then Ina gives some words of encouragement that unlocks his inner butt-kickery mode that motivates him to carry on and stop being/wanting to be useless.

    Jesse, I want Cyril to unlock his inner butt-kickery. If not in that specific way, in SOME preferably less cheesy way that somehow involves Ina. The payout must happen! Pretty please with ale on top.

    1. MegaMage

      I don’t think Cyril would get to see Ina, remember how Angel told him that he only goes to the heavenly waiting room to respawn in the morning? Speaking of which, I don’t think he’d like seeing Angel again…

  44. Someone who keeps forgetting his username

    Obvious plot thread: they will find a previous chosen one later in the adventure.
    I mean, it has to happen right? Right??

  47. Leonardo

    Hey man. Can I ask for something, if it’s not too much work?
    Your rss feed don’t include the comic, and I totally understand that, but it includes your final comment after the comic, which more often than not spoils the punch line right away. Do you think you can edit that? I’ve seen other comics do that.
    Thanks in advance, man. Keep up the good work.

  50. Haku411

    “ELDERFUNGUSELDERFUNGUSTHEREWASANAIADANDITHINKITWASXANEBECAUSEHELEFTACARVINGOFHISNAMEONTHETREEEE- “How did this happen without you noticing?” “Uh….”
    p.s., All Borderlandsrp members put http://borderlandsrp.boards.net/ in there website. If you want. Just saying it’s a good way to advertise.

  52. SuperDeturiumGus

    It’s funny how. Cyril is so logical yet when acted its illogical

    Hmm kinda sounds like a paradox when you think deep into it a little bit

    #Cyril is still the best

    if anyone agrees with me that is

  53. crabnuggits

    Well I read that page at least 7 times, not saying it isn’t funny just I didn’t find that part that funny.

    1. Truffle Culter

      MASTER TRUFFLE KNOWS ALL! HE WAS IN THE MOON LORD’S FAMILY. THE MOON LORD IS HIS SISTER. HE THEN MURDERED CUTHULU. TRUFFLE IS GOD!
