"Give in to your feelings Elliott and your journey to the Dark Side will be complete."
Darth Renee??
:-D
Penquin47:
I am, admittedly, just guessing, but "Wyrm Father" (father of dragons) sounds like the kind of poetic name one would give the devil, or a demon lord. And "Worm Father" works too, in the sense that worms eat the flesh of corpses and are therefore creepy and often used in art depicting certain areas of Hell.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 03 Nov 2016, 00:41 ---Okay, so we actually have an interesting insight into Renee here - She's a compulsive liar; she said something about Brun that Elliott knew was false (and, one assumes she knew that he knew was false) but said it anyway as if it were true. She also moves on from that without an eyeblink, which suggests that this is something she does a lot and doesn't mind being called out over because it doesn't matter to her.
Then there is the advocacy of violence; one assumes she is just joking but, again, Elliott's behaviour just doesn't seem to back up that assumption. Either she likes playing with his head or there is something quite concerning about her essential nature here. I can't quite put my finger on it but Jeph really scripted her weirdly today.
Meanwhile, something tells me that, when Brun wakes up, she will be able to define 'headache' with a precision no-one has before.

I like Renee less and less with every strip she's in. Outright loathing is not far away.

You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to...
(does anyone actually say to-mah-to?)
Tova:
You know, I am pretty sure that Renee is just joking around in all but the second panel, and had no intention to deceive, kill, or maim anyone.
Just in case this is not obvious.

The key difference is the word compulsive. Can you really prove from one comic that someone is a compulsive liar? I am all ears.
A teller of tall tales is somewhat different. BenRG likes to spin stories from very few data points, but I'm not about to accuse him of compulsive lying.
