Christmas 2015: Part Four
Chapter: Season Six
He IS Santa.
Update: There has been some talk (and some snark) regarding Dallas’ age, so let me explain what’s going on. I have always used a vague passage of time in d20Monkey. I try to avoid using specific dates just in case I forget a past reference and write myself into a corner. That said, time does pass, characters age, and I keep the seasons moving. So with Dallas, I always imagined her as a teenager in her early appearances (again, chalk it up to my lack of art skills for her looking 1o-years old) and I have slowly aged her over the years. Now, she is a young woman between 18-20 about to begin a new chapter of her life.
Hopefully, this clears up some of the confusion. As always, thanks for reading!
HOVER-TEXT: I had to cut the line “Do you see this dope ass glowing suit?” for space.
The things we sacrifice for great art…
2/10 Expected something far less manly.
So are you saying it’s a 2 out of 10?
Maybe that’s a compliment, like “Perfect 5/7!”
A wise man once said “eat a dick”.
I believe that applies here.
I don’t think it works that way. Just including ghe date of February tenth in your comment doesn’t really mean you posted two weeks ago.
You forget both the guys on supernatural were on that show
But you posted on 2/23. Color me confused.
I really didn’t like Brett when I first started reading the strip, but his coarseness has really grown on me. It’s more down to earth than asshole nerdrage gamer than I originally thought. I really dig how fiercely loyal he can be and how he cuts right through the B.S. to get to what’s important.
This almost makes me want to go revisit the past scenes to find out what caused Dallas to leave the group.
Dove accused her of accusing him of cheating during the dungeon run and mentioned the bad press after she revealed Dallas noble was a girl writing games instead of a guy
Which bags to question, does Dragonlance not exist at all in the D20 Monkey world?
Oh, Dragonlance absolutely exists. Phillip Dove is just a piece of shit.
I don’t think anyone can argue with that statement.
Question is, who’s worse, Dove or that rotten little elf in exile?
Chances are, we won’t have to wait long till we find out. Who knows, maybe they will even team up?
To wich i continue to say so what, i didnt care with rowling i dont care w d&d
Its ore complicated than that, Dove also threatened to ruin her next mod or book she wrote and get her black balled. He also admitted to doing as much in the past because he is after all a douche bag. Knowing that the relationship with certain people was costing her big in a lot of ways and feeling she had no real friends because of some misunderstandings she went as far as to sic her dogs on one of our main characters when he came to her place recruiting players for the group. Nothing was as Dallas thought they were to begin with and frankly Dove had way too much power to begin with and needs, still, a massive amount of getting shot down especially since he was indeed cheating.
Now as to which is worse, I think their on the same level and the next bad thing that happens will eventually have both the disgraced steward of Winter and Dove, whom I hope gets a permanent place on the naughty list and a place on the Grumpus visitor list…..
What, only two years older when she was 16 in 2011? 😉
Sliding timeline.
Keep in mind that it’s Christmas Eve in February, before complaining about time progression. :p
Christmas has been a few months late ever since Brian’s knee incident. Hopefully he’ll be able to get the Christmas stories synced up with the real calendar eventually, but doing it all in one go would mean having two Christmas arcs six months separated, so it slips back a month each year. There’s still been four Christmases between then and now.
Charles is entirely adorable here.
Huh. And here I had Charles pegged as more of a “Sex and the City” fan.
Looks like Charles won’t be punching Santa in the face. So that’s good.
Looks like the Santa way it is.
Dar’s “Why me?” expression is fantastic. I really, really want to see how this plays out. Like, post-haste. Anybody have a good mind-scry spell so I can see it direct from Brian’s brain?
Honestly, being pissed off makes everyone look older, even comic-peoples. I think Dallas looks fine, even if her early incarnation appeared a bit younger than was intended.
Charisma check. 18, with modifiers, 22. Jackpot!
I like how Charles is yelling so loud that Darlene’s hair is fluttering.
Panel 4… I can’t stop seeing a closeup of a disturbing muppet eating a DVD box set.
Brett on the powers of the mantle: “This isn’t a party favor”
Larry on the powers of the narrative: “Oh yeah that shit is a blast at parties”
Sooooo….What nobody is gonna make a “Santa does Dallas” joke?
Joke or…fanfiction?
Which really might be a pretty niche ship in the D20Monkeyverse.
I would actually like a link to her last appearance cause I don’t remember her at all.
