Roger is skewered!
Frida Bonita said, about 1 year ago

Yes, I will ask the obvious.

Who is behind the sword?

It bears repeating:

Holy Mother of Mogg!

I love Lena’s expression as the light goes on…

HOLY MOTHER OF MY DOG!
emjrn said, about 1 year ago

Oh dear! Roger got the point in a really bad way! Is Satori back? No, her sword was curved.
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

Oops!
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

At least Roger sacrificed himself for his sister, even if she is a naaasty piece of work.
thevenbede said, about 1 year ago

OMG How did that happen?!
Sisyphos said, about 1 year ago

Yikes! Did Spitinky reboot his knightbot?
thevenbede said, about 1 year ago

and will he regenerate or die here?
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

Methinks the knight sub-program reset itself into working order again. But why? Has Spitcock returned, or what?
The Old Wolf said, about 1 year ago

What a cliffhanger! And me off to the frozen wastelands of the Norsemen for 10 days… Argh! I’m only hoping the hotel in Norway has internet access, I can’t just go away and miss the wrap-up to this incredible episode…
Frida Bonita said, about 1 year ago

What a crazy weekend this will be.

Roger can’t die. We have the Pib kiss but where is Pibgorn. Where is Luciano.

Bonne nuit
emjrn said, about 1 year ago

So the knight wasn’t just an empty husk. Something was animating it that wasn’t apparent when Roger took the sword and “killed” it.
thevenbede said, about 1 year ago

Roger that is, not the knightbot What does it mean if his glasses no longer show the moon?
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

Why should Roger die? He’s still in the game; eventually it should reset, unless the lack of Pib- or Dru-power is making it go agley.
Heavenly said, about 1 year ago

Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

And with that…good night.
thevenbede said, about 1 year ago

Courage CC the Scandinavians are civilized-you should be able to keep in contact!
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

His glasses no longer show the moon because the lighting seems to be different in general: no longer that (literal) twilight, but bright enough to see his eyes thru the glass. That means they are not reflecting the sky any more.
emjrn said, about 1 year ago

I still can’t get 9CWL for today. I may go back into withdrawals! Oh well, I will try in the morning.

Save room on the couch for me in the morning. I will bring homemade biscuits with spiced pear honey for all.
Frida Bonita said, about 1 year ago

Okay queenie. Out you go is going down in my book as one of the best lines in this story arc; along with Stupid demons
thevenbede said, about 1 year ago

Gute Nacht, ich muss schlafen gehen,bis morgen
bigchiroal said, about 1 year ago

Re today’s Pibgorn…
.
Oh my Dog !!! (dyslexic don’cha know)

Well, no good deed goes unpunished. Poor Roger!

Good cliffhanger.

Looking forward to Monday.

Try at Houston Chronicle’s site (google Chronicle Chickweed)
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

How about some cold pizza for breakfast? And then some German-Russian comfort food, like pigs in a blanket with blachenda. Or maybe there’s some strudle stuffed back deep in the freezer.
Fairportfan said, about 1 year ago

Repeating my post from yesterday’s comments about today’s strip:

Okay - we now know what happened on the first trip ‘round the horn.

(Best sugar-coating of an expository lump i’ve seen in a long time.)

But remember the wise old British proverb: “What you gain on the swings, you lose on the roundabouts.”
Sisyphos said, about 1 year ago

I need to mull this over and have as Pooh might say a little something while expending mental energy. I’ve got some Milton’s Garlic & Herb crackers and Muenster cheese, and I’m sure there’s some retsina left….
Hey, Frida, got anything more tempting at hand?
pibfan868 said, about 1 year ago

Yikes again! I didn’t see “Next” on the original page for a long time, then I had to re-sign in to post. Well, I do hope we can all hang out comfortably, at least compared to Roger, and see what happens. Pear cider and Winesap apples and hard cheddar cheese, anyone?
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

How about some old-fashioned Liderkranz cheese? Oops, they haven’t made that for thirty years. Have to settle for Limburger.
txmystic said, about 1 year ago

Suzerain keeps a memory of every time vector and reloads it into the characters upon their return. This is why the time paradox theory does not work for me…even though they are in the “past” in Suzerain time, because they already interacted with the “future”, it now is the past.

Whoa…too much ale maybe…

But i leave you with this before i sleep this off…does Lena remember dying?

I will take the apples and cheese first, though!
starshine1969 said, about 1 year ago

~jaw drops~

~picks up jaw and stares blinking at the screen before her~

~curses the Friday cliffhangers!~
paciii said, about 1 year ago

Love the portal colors!!
…And her “OOHH!!” look.
……And what pushed Roger over the edge to toss her through.

Wonder if she’ll remember all the downloaded stuff back in the real world? Hope she doesn’t, or she might jump right back in!!

Will Roger’s dying re-boot the game like it did when Pib kept getting sliced and diced? If so, what’ll happen to Dru & Spinky when it resets “now”?? Maybe Roger’ll become King?? (Yeah, right…)
Mikkail said, about 1 year ago

Interesting. It looks like Suzerain-reality is designed especially for Lena. Way back, she saw Dru and exclaimed, “I finally know what I want to be when I grow up” or words to that effect, and of course, that is exactly what happens in the game. I am reminded of Zaphod Beeblebrox and the Total Perspective Vortex.

So who/what is Spitcock, then?
Fairportfan said, about 1 year ago

Frida Bonita says:

“Okay queenie. Out you go is going down in my book as one of the best lines in this story arc; along with Stupid demons”
&nbgsp;
And, for those who have read Jeff Smith’s wonderful comic/graphic novel, Bone: “Stupid stupid rat creatures!”

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/30922 (scroll down to the second entry on the page)

(Which was very quickly paraphrased to “Stupid stupid cat creature!” around here.)
txmystic said, about 1 year ago

Spitcock detected the destruction of hte empty knight-bot, left Dru, inhabited another knight-bot, and impaled Roger.

…I think….

But what we know now for certain is that on 12/21, she turned tables on the knight and became Queen as a child. And no child could usurp the throne, so…how old is Satori?

GoodNightNow!
fear-ciuil said, about 1 year ago

This promises to be an active weekend … in the absence of a TAC forum (it’s in the works!), may I humbly offer this temporary substitute?

(Yes, you’d have to sign up, and yes, it’s free.)
paciii said, about 1 year ago

“Stupid stupid cat creature!”

LOL… we’ve got 7 felines, so one’s doing SOMETHING to warrent that comment just about all the time…

9CwL: at least they’re in Brussels, so Solange can’t come investigate what’s going on with cold nose and rough tongue…
txmystic said, about 1 year ago

9CWL:

Holy Schnitt! Are they doin’ the nasty or what???????
Adrienne Gormley said, about 1 year ago

If Roger’s as much a gamer as I suspect he is, then he should KNOW that NPCs respawn regularly once they’re taken out.

So he should have been expecting this.

9CWL:

BMonk: My money is on or what! They may be caught up in the throes of requited passion, but their creator is not, and will keep them more or less on the straight and narrow. After all, she’s a good Catholic girl, isn’t she?
Sisyphos said, about 1 year ago

Got 9CWL at the Chronicle site: Lord, what
subtlety, what satiety!
paciii said, about 1 year ago

9CwL:
Can’t help wonder what would happen if, after all this (whatever “this” is), they head back to NY, get off the plane, hand-in hand…

and the first person they see that they know, walking toward them along the concorse is… Sister Steven on her way somewhere…
Lunatic_fringe1 said, about 1 year ago

Last time Roger died pib080402 it did not seem to reset to noon at least the lighting stayed the same.
paciii said, about 1 year ago

Two hands doing this,
Two hands doing this AND that…
Now wait ‘til Monday.

AUUUUGH……. Gotta go sleep; up for work at 7. I’ll bring the OJ in the AM (with pulp, fresh squeezed…)
fear-ciuil said, about 1 year ago

Good night, all.
bmonk said, about 1 year ago

Say, “Goodnight.” Gracie.

Goodnight Gracie.

I’m off too.
Lunatic_fringe1 said, about 1 year ago

A whole lot of touchy fealey not necessarily pokey. got to get up at 6AM so night

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
