Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Pencilicious filler featuring Ottar, Norla and a Jeweled Scuttling Crab. {{It's time for the ultra-seemple filler streep - streep?}} / [[Ottar and Norla are sitting on a ledge overlooking a lake.]] / Ottar: When I was a lad, the night sky o'er Wodeskog was for-swarmed with dragons! But alas, they are all gone now. / Norla: Do you think we'll ever see them again? / Ottar: I see not wherefore not... / Ottar: The jeweled scuttling crab had almost out-died, and now it's come back! / [[Norla pulls her foot out of the water. Her toe is being pinched by a jeweled scuttling crab.]] / Norla: Yeeeaow! / Ottar: See'st what I mean? / {{Coming out of hiatus for a bit to hook the new readers with easy updates... This is the first episode of a semi-improvised, shortish story drawn in pencils. It features Ottar, Norla and a few other minor characters from the last real storyline. / Yes, those are Douglas Adams references. He's been on my mind a lot lately.}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Love me, I'm your filler. Norla: Maybe prof. Rįsdondr can bring back the magnificent dragons! He must have an egg salted away somewhere... / Ottar: Haha! / Ottar: Rįsdondr would try for to cross it with a jeweled scuttling crab! / Norla: Pfft! / [[Behind the pair, an abominable jeweled scuttling dragon is creeping up on them.]] / Norla: Seriously, even the prof would draw the line at creating jeweled scuttling dragons. / {{It goes on...}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Swipe! Whoa! Shoo! Zap! Because writing dialogue takes energy and that would defeat the purpose of the exercise! {{Welcome to another action-packed pencil-drawn FILLER COMIC (Note: At the time of writing, we don't know if there will in fact be action)}} / [[The dragon takes a swipe at Norla and Ottar.]] / Ottar: Whoa! / <> / [[Ottar uses magic to chase off the dragon. Norla looks like a drowned cat.]] / Ottar: Shoo! / [[Ottar zaps the dragon again. It finally steps back.]] / <> / {{Well, what do you know? There has been action! And there may well be more tomorrow!}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Does anyone even see these blurbs anymore? {{It's another FILLER COMIC with "Ottarese" Anglo-Saxon}} / [[Vigdis is tending to Rįsdondr's latest injury]] / Rįsdondr: Who'd have thought that my creation would turn against me like that? / Vigdis: Sit still! / Rįsdondr: We'll have to put the poor thing out of its misery. It must be in a frightful state! / [[Ottar is speaking from off-panel.]] / Ottar: You twain! / Rįsdondr/Vigdis: ?? / Ottar: Your bewreaking almost killed us! / Rįsdondr: "Bewreaking"? / Vigdis: "Creature"
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Subtle gestures like nudging are hard to do in crappy pencil style! NOW WITH EXTRA CORRECTIONS. {{Fresh from the sketchbook, here's another filler comic! Now go to the forum to bitch about how it sucks. / Ottar: What ails you? Get out of this wood right now! / Ottar: And take your blue box with you! / [[Rįsdondr is puzzled. Behind him, a Police Public Call Box can be seen. It is blue.]] / Rįsdondr: Blue box? What are you talking about? / [[Vigdis nudges to Rįsdondr to look behind him.]] / [[Rįsdondr looks behind him, spots the blue box.]] / Rįsdondr: Oh. / {{Join us on Monday, when Vigdis says: Is this parody? Infringement? Or something more sinister?}} / {{Notes to self: / 1. Nudging at someone to look behind him is too subtle a gesture to render in comics, or at least this kind of comics. / 2. If I'm gonna letter by hand in such a loose style, I'd better make sure I don't skip any letters. Because fixing that is a bit of a bother. / 3. (added on April 29, after the strip went live) If I'm going to make corrections, I should bloody well upload them. Pardon me while I bang my head against the wall for an hour on end. / }}
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Meanwhile, inside the place that's bigger on the inside than on the outside... {{It's another monday's worth of filler! Ugly filler! Now, where were we? Oh yeah, there was this... this blue box...}} / [[Inside the TARDIS. Rose is talking to the Doctor, who is on his back underneath the console trying to fix something.]] / Rose: Doctor, is this goin'a take long? / Doctor: Just a minute. Pass the ...er... the hacksaw, will yer? / [[Rose passes a saw to the Doctor, while pointing towards the door with her thumb. The Doctor is speaking off-panel.]] / Rose: Only there's people knocking. / Doctor: Knocking? / Rose: On the door. / Doctor: Duct tape, duct tape! / [[Rose passes a role of duct tape to the Doctor.]] / Doctor: We're in the year one thousand and two, Rose! A backward, superstitious time when people lived in fear of anything they didn't understand. Ta. / [[Rose is speaking off-panel.]] / Rose: These aren't afraid, I think. / Doctor: No? / Rose: Because they're still knocking... / [[The Doctor emerges from underneath the console, sitting up straight.]] / Doctor: Fantastic! Let'em in, then! / {{Oh dear! Come back tomorrow to see if Auntie's lawyers have taken my pencils away!}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: The guests to the Dimensionally-Transcendent thingummybob are suitably impressed. Or are they? {{Here there be filler comics! One more week of them, I think... maybe.}} / [[Ottar, Norla, Rįsdondr and Vigdis have entered the TARDIS, with Rose looking on.]] / Norla: Wow! / Ottar: Forefather's armpit! / [[The Doctor is leaning against the console looking smug. Ottar is speaking off-panel.]] / Ottar: That's... that's... / Ottar: That's one fine skin jerkin! / [[Rose gawks at Norla, delighted.]] / Rose: The fairies! They're... they're fairies! / {{There'll be more...}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Oh, that woman thinks she's that impressive. {{The most gratifying aspect of the filler series is that, released from such bourgeois paternalistic norms as "Quality", "Consistency" and "Sense"", I can now make true art!}} / Rįsdondr: Don't mind Green Boy. I find this place fascinating, Mr.... er... / Doctor: I am The Doctor. / Rįsdondr: I'm... the Professor. What's all this for? / Doctor: You wouldn't understand. / [[Vigdis is speaking from off-panel. The Doctor is surprised.]] / Vigdis: Hey! Did you know that if you spice this red wire with that blue one, your date pinpointing thing should be twice as accurate? / Vigdis: What? / {{What, indeed. Come back tomorrow!}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: The Doctor and Vigdis would make a cute couple. Cuter than Rose and Rįsdondr, anyway. {{Allow me to present you with this, another penciled filler comic, drawn while waiting for my studio-mate to finish his work on the studio computer (the stinking bastard!)}} / Doctor: What are you, some lost Timelord? Then what are you doin' ere, in this forsaken epoch? / Vigdis: Timelord? oh! No, I'm not one of your people. By the way, this machine now looks like a hovel from the outside. Less conspicuous! / Doctor: You think you're that impressive! / Vigdis: I am that impressive! / Rose: So, did you invent time travel before women's clothing then? / Norla: Hey! I wear clothes! Usually. Often. Sometimes. Well, I used to.
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Rose is 'avin' none of it. {{Gentle reader, we are near the end of this filler series. I am almost out of 2B pencils! But first, this:}} / Doctor: I can - and have- change the timeline! / Vigdis: I can make timelines vanish with a thought! / Doctor: I can regenerate when I'm killed! / Vigdis: I can pick a future where I don't get killed. / Doctor: I'm nine hundred years old! / Vigdis: Okay, that's impressive. I'm only three hundred. / Rose: If this ends wiv' you two ge'in' i' on, there'll be trouble! GALACTIC trouble! / {{Continued...}}
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Technically, you'd only need to be chucked out of one time travelers' convention. {{My, Grandma, what a big filler comic you have!}} / Doctor: Nine 'undred years, and I've never been upstaged by a naked half-fairy from the Middle Ages! / Rose: I think you're amazin'. / Doctor: She uses magic! Where's the fun in that? / Rose: You don't fancy 'er then? / Doctor: Why on earth should I? / Rose: Well, because you an'er 'ave so mich in common like the time travel an' all... / [[The Doctor hands Rose the Crank of Rassillon.]] / Doctor: C'mon, let's go! / Rose: Where? / [[The Doctor shovels coal into the TARDIS's console.]] / Doctor: 2005! Massachusetts! Time Travelers' Conventioon! / [[Outside the Tardis, still looking like a hovel. The Doctor is talking off-panel, from within.]] / Doctor: I'll show you time travelers! They're a dime a dozen! / <> / {{One more!}} / {{The Time Traveler Convention took place on May 7, 2005 in the Walker Memorial Building, Building 50 on the MIT Campus. Early reports don't mention the Doctor or his companion although it's quite possible that this is because they didn't RSVP and were turned away at the door. / That naked brunette interrupting Professor Farhi's presentation with helpful suggestions that no one could understand later claimed to be a time traveler. However, when pressed to show her means of transportation, she refused, and the only the only part of her answer to the question "How did you travel through time" that made any sense was "by going forward, one chronon at a time". This did not impress the students at MIT at all, and they would have thrown the madwoman out if they hadn't been predominantly young male nerds.}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Back to the issue at hand: that jeweled scuttling dragon! {{Did I say there'd be one more filler? I was wrong: There'll be one more after this one.}} / Norla: Now, Professor, about that monster of yours! / Rįsdondr: What monster? / Ottar: The beast that thou unleashed! / Rįsdondr: What? I never did! / Norla: Come on! You let loose a jeweled scuttling- / Rįsdondr: Crab? But those things are everywhere! / Rįsdondr: We're here to celebrate the fourtieth anniversary of the re-introduction of the magnificent flying dragons... / Vigdis: More wine, prof? / Rįsdondr: ... the ones whose hides you are wearing! / Norla: I don't remember us having jackets on! / Ottar: I recall making them, but also not making them.
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: A stitch in time will do just fine! {{Arr. here we are with the final penciled filler!}} / Rįsdondr: Vigdis? / Vigdis: Yes? / Rįsdondr: How long ago did the magnificent flying dragos go extinct? / Vigdis: About thirty years ago, I think. / Rįsdondr: And what are we celebrating now? / Vigdis: The fourtieth anniversary of... er... oh. / Rįsdondr: What did I tell you about stitching up the past? / Vigdis: "Do it neatly, or not at all." Sorry. / Rįsdondr: I'm sure those faeries caught on. They're hard to fool. / Vigdis: You want I should change it back? / [[Rįsdondr and Vigdis admire the magnificent flying dragons.]] / Rįsdondr: Nah. I can live with the idea of dragons being brought back before they went extinct. Just look at'em! Fantastic! / Vigdis: You sound like the Doctor! / {{The end! Dedicated to Terry Nation, Douglas Adams and all those who spend years of their lives holding back species extinction.}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Cover art for The Stone of Contention - Webcomics history returns! {{Cover art to The Stone of Contention.}} / [[Kel, in plant form, is about to take the Stone from the Goblin King. Ragnarok, Tamlin, Kangra and Norla have just rushed into the King's chambers.]] / {{Starting on June 6, The Stone of Contention, one of the first storyline-based webcomics ever, will return to the Web in a translated, re-lettered, re-mastered edition. It will be updated on weekdays, running for about 4 months. It features Tamlin, Ragna, Atra, Jake and Kel in their third adventure, drawn and published online between 1994 and 1996, in widescreen format. / The Stone of Contention provides backstory to The Rite of Serfdom. Upon completion of the storyline, it will be moved to the appropriate place in the Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan archives.}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Foreword to The Stone of Contention {{The Stone of Contention, drawn between 1994 and 1996, was the first comic I ever put online, and may well have been the first truely story-based comic on the Web. It ran on the University of Groningen's server, on an account owned by a friend, Age Mooy, who also did the very rudimentary web design. The publication process was straight-forward. I stealthily scanned the pages on a machine owned by the University, then edited them on University machines, often ruining the image in the process because I had no idea what I was doing or that the image editing software was showing me colours that wouldn't appear in the saved file. The comics were all in Dutch although webpages in English were offered for readers abroad. And there were quite a few readers. I got comments in the guestbook. / Serialisation started in November, 1994 and ended in August, 1996. With the completion of the story, I soon lost interest in maintaining the website. Once my friend graduated, his account was eventually taken offline, and as a result, the original website only exists on a bunch of floppies in my desk drawer and on the Internet archives. This is, on the whole a good thing, because the comic as originally published online looked awful. Now, with this translated, re-lettered and remastered edition, you will be able to enjoy the series as it should have looked all along. Actually, it's rather good. That young man who wrote it could keep a good pace going, and had some funny jokes in him. On a good day, he could even draw. I should call him up and see if he's available. / Because I'm very pretentious, I want to dedicate this revised version of "The Stone of Contention" to Age Mooy, the man who got me into webcomics. Haven't seen him in years even though he's still in town. Should get in touch with him too.}}
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: The year: 994. A peaceful scene is interrupted by a heinous, heinous crime!!! [[Outside a tallowchandler/soap-boiler's shop. The soap-boiler and his assistant are talking within the shop.]] / Caption: The peaceful scene below will soon be disrupted by a crime. / Soap-boiler: Careful with the lye! / Assistant: Yes, master soap-boiler! / [[Inside the shop]] / Caption: The criminals are the main characters of this story, so it will be impractical to hide their identities... / Soap-boiler: Let it seethe a while, then we'll add the honey. / [[Atra enters, slamming the door and bearing an axe.]] / Caption: But to protect their privacy, the name of the Clwydian town where this takes place will remain sub rosa. / Atra: Your soap or your lives! / <> / [[The soap-boiler and his assistants eye the intruder.]] / [[Outside the shop, Atra, Tamilin and Ragna leave the scene carrying a box of soap. The soap-boiler is heard swearing from inside the shop]]. / Soap-boiler: Bugger shit fuck botheration and drat! / Assistant: The boss is seething! Hee hee! / Tamlin: Nice work, Atra! / Atra: I enjoyed it too!
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: In every robbery, there's someone who just has to go and make things complicated! [[Continued from previous page. The soap-boiler is heard swearing from off-panel.]] / Soap-boiler: (signs indicating swearing) / Tamlin: And now? / Atra: The hatter. Let's ask for directions. / [[Atra, holding an axe, hassles a bystander]] / Atra: Hey you! Directions or your life! / Bystander: ? / Bystander: Where do you want to go? / Atra: Th'hatter! / Bystander: Which one? The party hatter? The hunter's hatter? The hard-hatter? / Atra: The black hat hatter. / Bystander: Which one? / [[Outside a shop that looks exactly like the soap-boiler's shop, bearing a sign reading 'Plain-black-pointy-hat-with-buckle-and-soft-brim hatter - approved by the guild of plain-black-pointy-hat-with-buckle-and-soft-brim hatters]] / Atra: Okay, let's go. / [[Inside the shop, Atra threatens the hatter and his assistant with her axe]] / Atra: Your black pointy hat or your life! And don't get smart!
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: She's showing initiative! Peachy! [[Outside the hatter's shop. Two of the hatter's assistants are talking outside as Tamlin, Atra and Ragna leave the scene with the soap and a new black hat.]] / First Assistant: Did you see the look on the boss's face? / Second Assistant: Mad as a hatter! Hahahaha! / Tamlin: And now? / Atra: You guys go fetch a broom, I'll go to the black-dress-makers' guild. / Ragna: It's great to see Atra become so productive: / Tamlin: Just goes to show that you can make it if you try. / [[Atra and the dress-maker are talking off-panel]] / Atra: Your black dress or- / Dress-maker: Bugger o- / <> / Ragna: And she's showing initiative! / Tamlin: Peachy! / [[In the woods. The full gang is assembled. Atra is wearing the dress and the hat, and showing off a brand new broom. Tamlin and Ragna are leaning against a tree, Tamlin holding a large mug of ale. Kel is eyeing the scene thoughtfully.]] / Jake: What do you need all that stuff for? / Atra: Oh, didn't I tell you? I'm going to a witches' sabbath! / [[Ragna and Tamlin are startled. Kel is making herself scarce.]] / Ragna: A w- / Tamlin: Bwahahahaha!
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Do not taunt a witch if you like your shape the way it is. [[Tamlin and Ragnarok laugh. Atra is annoyed.]] / Atra: Is that funny? / Tamlin: You haven't been to a Sabbath in twenty years! Hahaha! / Ragnarok: Except - Hahaha- That time you scared everyone off, in Dungill Fens! / [[Atra and Ragnarok speak off-panel. Kel walks off towards her tree hut.]] / Atra: This means a lot to me! It's the Eclipse Festival! / Ragnarok: The what? / Atra: The Eclipse Festival! Seven days of billy-goats, demons and soapy broths! 1) / Footnote 1: This is the result of a misunderstanding. One grimoir made mention of soup. Unfortunately a scribal error 2) ensured that for many generations, soap was renowned for its magical properties. / Footnote 2: Also called a scriob. / Atra: Yes! Seven days to celebrate harmony with mother earth and brew bubbly potionns, ending with a solar eclipse! And I've got an invite! / Tamlin: Great! / [[Tamlin grins maliciously.]] / Tamlin: ...Did it include a discount offer for a refresher course? / [[Atra zaps Tamlin with magic.]] / Atra: I'm sick to the teeth of those barbs of yours, you know that? / <>
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Tamlin's new shape is even more rotund than his old one. [[Tamlin has turned into a pumpkin, though he still has his nose and eyes. Jake and Ragnarok are surprised. Atra has turned her back to Tamlin.]] / Tamlin: Atra? I was only kidding! Atra! Magic me back! Hey! / [[Tamlin speaks off-panel. Kel sulks in her tree hut.]] / Tamlin: Atra? Please! Hey! Don't walk out! Wait! Please! / Kel: Grpflxflzghhrfml... / [[Tamlin and Ragnarok speak off-panel. Kel sulks in her tree hut.]] / Tamlin: You can't leave me like... I can't even reach my beer! Atra! / Ragnarok: Hey, show me that invite! / Kel: I can feel what this is gonna result in... / [[Tamlin, Ragnarok and Atra speak off-panel. Kel sulks in her tree hut.]] / Atra: Uh... no... you'll... uh... you'll break it! / Ragnarok: What? / Tamlin: Help! Magic me back! / Kel: More work for me! That always happens! / Ragnarok: Atra's sudden enthusiasm for witchcraft is making me wonder. / Tamlin: Me too! / Jake: There's an old Gnomian proverb... / Jake: "A plucked beard is better than a busted hump." / Ragnarok: What's that got to do with it?
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Ragna is concerned about Jake's behaviour. [[Jake walks off.]] / Jake: With what? / Ragnarok: I'm also getting seriously concerned about Jake. / Tamlin: Let's not have too many problems at once, please. / Ragnarok: I find that invite very mysterious. I'd always thought the other witches had forgotten her. / Tamlin: ...Deliberately or not. But I'm not gonna force her to- / [[Ragnarok speaks off-panel. Kel sits in her pit, sulking.]] / Ragnarok: You're right. We need to be more subtle. KEL! / Ragnarok: You can go and keep a discrete eye on Atra when she goes to the Sabbath. / Kel: Oh. / Caption: The next day... / Ragnarok: Shouldn't you magic Tamlin back before you leave? / Atra: No. Why?
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan [[Tamlin-pumpkin is dozing.]] / <> / [[Tamlin's legs have suddenly reappeared.]] / Tamlin: Hot damn! / Tamlin: Ragnarok! The spell is wearing off! / [[Tamlin's left arm reappears.]] / <> / Tamlin: Cool! I can drink again! Pour me one! / Ragnarok: Uh... you don't have a mouth. / [[Jake is lugging around a large coil of rope.]] / Tamlin: Damn! Then what was I talking with all that time?
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Kel can do some magic, nothing to boast about, really. [[Kel walks through the forest with "Jack".]] / Kel: Nice of you to join me for a bit. / Jack: Oh... I 'd wanted to give you some tips on shadowing her discreetly, but now that that's no longer necessary, I have a few questions myself. / Kel: Oh? / Jack: Like why are they organising an entire witches' festival on the occasion of a solar eclipse? / [[Kel holds out her hands.]] / Kel: There'll be strong magic in the air. It's noticeable already. Look! / [[Kel and Jack look at Kel's hands.]] / [[A flower appears inside Kel's hands.]] / Jack: Far out! / Kel: It's only an illusion. When I was working for the Green Knight, I could really do magic under his guidance. / Jack: But I don't suppose the Green Knight hires just anyone... / Kel: How the hell should I know?
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Tamlin's new shape has given him a whole new perspective on life. Or has it? [[Jake walks right past Ragnarok and the pumpinised Tamlin.]] / Ragnarok: What' s he up to with those cables? / Tamlin: All that rushing and hurrying. Can't he just lie down and ripen like everyone else? / Ragnarok: I'd better check on what he's doing... / Tamlin: Maybe sprout a bit in the warm sun... Hmmmm... / [[Jake walks on.]] / [[Ragnarok watches Jake from behind a tree.]] / [[Jack shows Kel the direction Atra flew in.]] / Jack: She flew in the direction of the Free-Witchcraft-Zone. Once you're there, you'll be able to find the grounds easily.
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: The sabbath is invitation-only. But that shouldn't stop any witch with half a brain. [[Kel walks on alone.]] / Kel: ...And that was that. Oh well, he does have to go to work... / [[Kel kicks at the sand.]] / Kel: Whatever it is he does. / [[Kel arrives at the festival grounds. A large crowd of witches in varying states of undress is gathering outside the gate.]] / Caption: At the festival grounds... / Kel: Crowded! / [[Kel is turned away by one of the gatekeepers.]] / Gatekeeper: Sawree, it's invitation-only. / [[Kel walks outside the gate. One of a group of witches gathered around a collection of brooms talks to her.]] / Witch: Hey, you there! Wanna get in?
 
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: It's the Famous Invisible Frog Scene! Witch: We need an axe. If you can hex one for us, we can break through the fence. / [[A witch speaks off-panel. Kel ponders.]] / Kel: Axe... / Witch: Drat! Another broom! / <> / [[At an axe-maker's shop. Kel shows her hand to the axe-maker. There is no frog in it.]] / Kel: See this frog? / Axe-maker: No. / Kel: Exactly. Unless you give me your best axe, I'll turn you into an invisible frog just like this one. / [[A fly buzzes over as the axe-maker ponders this.]] / [[Kel leaves the shop with a good axe in her hands. The axe-maker's wife speaks from within the shop.]] / Axe-maker's wife: An unarmed girl robbed you of our prize-winning axe? Are you quite right in the head? / Kel: What a depressingly stupid artesan. / {{The classic Invisible Frog gag, part 1}}
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Tamlin isn't the only one with access to Beerspace. Tamlin: And? / Ragnarok: He's building an infernal machine and humming Gnomian songs. / Tamlin: We should feed him drunk and hear him out. / [[Jake appears, chanting and holding up his hands.]] / Ragnarok: Don't you think he'll also talk if we simply- / Jake: [[Gibberish]] / [[Ragnarok pulls a gigantic mug of beer out of thin air.]] / Ragnarok: Beer, Jake? / [[Jake drinks the beer.]] / Tamlin: So far so good, but will he be able to talk sense? / Ragnarok: Ask him something. / [[Tamlin undergoes another phase of his transformation back to a human.]] / Tamlin: Jake, tell me, do y- / <>
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Tamlin is just one Splotch removed from being able to drink his drinks, and he's not happy about it. [[Tamlin is completely human again, except his head, which still has a pumpkin-like shape and lacks a mouth. Jake does have a mouth, which he wipes.]] / Tamlin: Hey! This isn't fair! / Jake: Do we have any Gnomian ale? This stuff is a bit bland. / Jake: Uh... Gnax! Bfrt! Hnjkl. No. / [[Jake gibbers off-panel.]] / Ragnarok: We've given him too much! He's gibbering. / Tamlin: And I still can't drink. Bah. / Jake: Gnax! Gloup! Za. Zwe. Gn ... no. / [[At the festiva grounds. Kel has hacked through the fence. In the foreground, a group of witches is huddled over a cauldron, eating a bubbly broth.]] / [[It starts raining.]] / Kel: Noooo... / Witch: Oh wow! Rain!
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: Between the rain, the mud, the bad mandrake and the gatecrashers, the Sabbath is a disaster! [[The rain increases quickly, soaking Kel.]] / Kel: Always the same with thosse open air festivals! And of course there's no shelter. / [[An announcer flies over the festival grounds on a broom, speaking through a bullhorn.]] / Announcer: We have a slight rain problem! Please do not stand on the ley lines! / [[Two witches speak off-panel.]] / Witch 1. Wow! This mud is slippery! / Witch 2. Ooh! Let me try! / <> / [[Three naked witches slide through the mud.]] / Announcer: We have been informed that the brown mandrake sold on the grounds is off poor quality. / Witch 3: Whee! / [[Two witches levitate a cat. Kel is getting fed up.]] / Announcer: So if you have mandrake you don't trust, have it tested at Granny Woebegone's stall!
Webcomic Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan: ... and the goat has indigestion. Did I mention that? THE GOAT HAS INDIGESTION! [[Kel walks past a group of witches huddling in the rain. In the background, another witch chases a stray broom.]] / Witch 1: Hey, if we concentrate hard, we may be able to magic the rain away! / Witch 2: Are you nuts? / Witch 2: I finally succeed in making rain and you whiners want to make it stop! Bah! / Announcer: Barking Mad Tilly's soapsoup stall has been blown over! Help her out by buying some of her soapsoup! / [[Two of the organisers discuss problems. A pair of nuns accost Kel.]] / Organiser 1: The grounds are a mudbath, there are more intruders than invite-holders, three people have eaten bad mandrake and one of the billygoats has indigestion. / Organsier 2: Oh man! This place is gonna be a disaster area. / Nun 1: Misguided mortal! Turn your back on these godless heathens! / [[The organiser speaks off-panel.]] / Organiser 1: Ten stallholders have doubled their prices and the others are out of stock...And then there's those nuns... / Nun 1: Dark forces are at play here! Don't meddle with them, girl!
