Looks like somebody has been putting points into 'animal friendship'.

What is keeping the Wolf Queen's crown on her head in the last panel? Glue? Pins? The power of funny? I think it would have been funnier if it had fallen off.

Elastic chinstrap hidden under her fur.

Now I'm getting the feeling that Dungeons and Dragons night featuring Jeph Jacques is one long acid trip of lateral thinking and weird reality!

Man, that D&D sesh with Jeph was Fishered ...

Poor timing, Case. Poor timing.

That's pretty standard for D&D nights everywhere, in my experience at least. Remind me to tell you the story of the time I taught an ogre to meditate.

Huh? You think so? I'd figured she'd fall on her butt giggling manically at the thought she'd be remembered in her very own proverb ...

Patron Saint of lateral thinkers everywhere is how I think of her.

Aaaaand so much for Bembo being any smarter or better educated than before...

Because he figured out Queen Shebly's weakness and used it to defeat her without harming her? That seems pretty smart to me.

A woman who dies by drowning in moonlight, strangled by her own bra? Yeah, she'd find it hilarious.

No, I was referring to the previous strip, where he was pelting the farmer with live wolves...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #62 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 14:11 »

Technically fulfilling the quest without killing wolves? Still pretty clever.

Kugai · « **Reply #63 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 14:21 »

Must have learned that trick from The Barbarian Handbook

DonInKansas · « **Reply #64 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 15:32 »

Just when you thought Bembo took those two levels of Ranger for the Two Weapon Fighting...

I don't think the farmer considers the quest fulfilled -- I certainly wouldn't, if I were him.

SomeCanadianWeirdo · « **Reply #66 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 18:44 »

And in the final Bembo strip of the year Bembo demonstrates he's culturally sensitive.

Storel · « **Reply #67 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 18:53 »

Or maybe he just likes crickets? Good protein, I hear.

Actually, the lizard queen looks a little surprised to me -- perhaps she didn't expect the barbarian to start eating their greatest treasure?

bhtooefr · « **Reply #68 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 19:00 »

It's a lizard society.

Lizards eat crickets...

St.Clair · « **Reply #69 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 21:36 »

Chest full of onions.

But what I really wanted to post was this:

Man this week felt too short... I want more Bembo

Not just lizards, crickets are nutritious. Bembo knows where it's at.

BenRG · « **Reply #72 on:** 29 Dec 2016, 23:18 »

When you spend most of your time questing miles and miles from the nearest village and food, you quickly come to realise that anything with the right balance of proteins and vitamins is nutrition. I'm pretty sure this isn't Bembo's first bug meal. Heck I doubt that it's even his first live bug meal!

In fact, I seem to remember that the Mongols (the RL 'barbarians', or at least the horse tribe version) consider spit-fried locusts a staple dish.

That Lizard queen is totally a Salazzle. Bembo is in the Pokemon world, it's canon!

I'll stick to eating Jet Planes

Next year's holiday week: Bembo vs. Yelling Bird. Two memes enter. One meme leaves.

Morituri · « **Reply #78 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 13:59 »

I think Bembo is less annoying than Yelling Bird.

But I also think a whole week of him is a bit much. I'm impatient because I really want to know what happens next in QC.

OTOH Bembo is most likely here because Jeph is working HARD on what happens next in QC. Getting it before it's ready means getting something that's not as good as it could be.

So... wait through Bembo week. whine, whine, okay. Take the time you need to do the main thing right.

Storel · « **Reply #79 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 15:01 »

As I understand it, Jeph drew the Bembo strips early, like a month ago, so i suspect the reason Bembo is here now is so that Jeph can take this week OFF. Lots of other people take the week between Christmas and New Year's off -- I always do if I have enough time off left -- so why shouldn't Jeph?

A little time off to relax and recharge his (figurative, I presume) batteries gives Jeph what he needs to get back to working hard on QC next week.

Gyrre · « **Reply #80 on:** 31 Dec 2016, 15:29 »

Anyone else wondering if Bembo will end up fighting Yelling-Bird cultists?
(Like the snake cultists Connan fights, but more swear-y)

Actually, I think that Bembo already is fighting Yelling Bird cultists; he's doing it here and on other comic discussion boards.
