Happy Wednesday!
I wanted Arvamas to rummage around for the right book for a bit…but that would have taken several more panels.
So…just pretend he’s rummaging. Okay?
Hope you’re enjoying this week’s pages.

Naroobi? Isn’t that where Jar Jar is from? Hooray for wonderful comic relief incoming for the comic!
Good thing the book he wanted to look at was right there.
I got the rummaging part Scott. 🙂
Glad to see that Nic didn`t burn all those books.
Noooooooooooooo, anything but Binks! Anything! Hell, throw ABBA into the comic, but not Jar Jar!!!!! O_O
Ahem. >_>
Seriously though, Arvamas really is a no nonsense guy, and here I was reading too much into the way he just turned around and started walking away. 😛
I do wonder though, will Scott make it a desert!?! Can’t wait to find out!!! ^_^
Ha! Imagine Nick with Jar-Jar’s speech patterns!
I think an “Ah yes, here it is…” might have helped give the search effect, but the pile of books on the floor also does a good job.
I guess you are not playing pretend like the rest of us…(see Scott’s comment)
If you want to bother, you could always enhance the rummaging by taking the second square and splitting it diagonally (two or four) and having tight closeups of hands, books, faces, whatever.
The pile of books, unfortunately, were there in the initial panel.
Naroobi is the Merpeople kingdom. 🙂 I thought I recognized the name of it, so I went back to Chapter 6 and checked. No Jar-Jars or deserts here.
It only makes sense of course. The Lady of the Lake wouldn’t be from a desert. She’d be in the water. 🙂
Niviene is a new one on me, but spelling was not exactly standardized when most Arthuriana was written! Those interested in learning more about Arthurian Legend cycles should head over to their local library and check this out: http://www.worldcat.org/title/king-arthur-in-legend-and-history/oclc/38096910&referer=brief_results
It’s a good introductory (read: not too scholarly) overview of the different versions of Arthur. One 16th-century poem I’ve read (in tortured, affected Middle English) involving Arthur’s knights even had them with cannons!
I don’t trust Arvamas. I’m not quite sure why, but I just don’t. Just putting that out there.
I do like his mad lightning-fast rummaging skills, though! 😉
The legends and stories are family ones. Arvamas’ Great Uncle had a fling with Niviene and, to say the least, it was the stuff of legends. XD
It’s a legend from mid-evil times when king author reigned

“Wesa give yousa una bongo. Da speediest way tooda Naboo ’tis goen through the planet core. Now…go.” lol!

Sorry for double posts…trying to figure out this gravatar thing.
So…you’re telling Alex something he already knows?
Next thing you’re going to tell me is we’re visiting Hilmdel afterward since we’re revisiting all the old locations.
Ooh! Dwarves. I love dwarves. Can’t get enough of them. They’re crunchy on the outside and tough on the inside and they last a long time, like beef jerky. Ha!
Wow, Arvamas reminded me of Rupert Giles for just a moment there. I hope that’s a complement, Anthony Stewart Head is great.
Indeed. Arguably my favorite Buffy character, and a great singing voice as well!
My, my… How interesting… So the author of this legend was a king? And he lived in mid-evil times (where the evil being perpetrated was only so-so), not to be confused with the low-evil times (when there was barely any evil being perpetrated) or the high-evil times (when there was lots of evil being perpetrated)?
I wonder if that legend changed any, by the time the medieval period came around…
😛 😛 😛 😀 😀 😀
Near Robbie.
We have bee short on dwarves recently.
