"BIRD!"CommentaryOne might have assumed Susan simply took the sudden appearance of wings and a halo in stride.One would be mistaken.Semantics! HOORAY!This is not change blindness. Or, at least, it is not "officially" change blindness.Change blindness is an actual phenomenon in which ...

They bug her.CommentaryTo be fair to Susan, this is all sorts of gross.

Goody Two-Shoes.CommentaryAnd here we get to one reason why I didn't want to go the coliseum route. Grace might not be at the wheel, but we've still wound up with someone wanting more of a pacifist run.Granted, someone wanting to get through a coliseum as a pacifist has all SORTS of potentia...

I'd argue it's rude to look at someone in this situation and say "poverty?!", but I'd argue she makes up for that faux pas rather quickly.CommentaryOh, there are MANY games I can criticize for THIS nonsense!...At least four. Fable 2, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Skyrim.Fable...

I don't think fast travel is supposed to be teleportation in most games, but let's just keep that our little secret.CommentaryI wanted to give Susan sort of partially closed eyes look while looking up at not-Arthur, but maybe she just looks sleepy?Let's all cut me some slack and just agr...
Parable - 115 - HD
When sneaking, remember to hold a torch.CommentarySomething I find rather strange about Fable 2 is that this is basically something you have to do.Your identity as a "Hero" (some sort of empowered person of destiny) is very important, and a threat to the main villain. In that game, there'...

The 90's sitcom audience continues to wooCommentaryFIRST! A reminder that there WAS a Friday--I mean, THURSDAY EGSNP, so if you're confused, you probably missed that.Now, on to the actual commentary.I felt the only way for this bit of a twist to work with Susan was for her reaction to be mil...

(90's sitcom woo)CommentaryIs it a spoiler to say this is touching on video game logic?It is?Well, the heck with it, I want to say this is touching on video game logic.What else am I going to put down here, that I spent way too much time figuring out Rhoda's pose in panel one because I wante...

"She has eaten all of our fish."CommentaryHow to draw Susan with short hair:Start drawing her hair as you always would, but once you get around the ears, make it short.I know that sounds like a joke, but that's basically my whole approach.

Small Femme-Tedd in oversized clothing! But what’s the implied reason?Can vote for more than one.

I used the standard set by Rhoda as the melee hero (buff, but not as buff as she could be) when settling on this character's figure.CommentarySee? This is what happens when you get on the plot train, SUSAN.I didn't know I was going to do the "losing the anti-spoiler veil" until I got...
Parable - 110 - HD
CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO~!Commentary"I've seen Wall-E, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Also, I thought I told you to wear proper clothes, young lady."Like many things, this reminds me of Fallout 4 (for all its flaws, it's very absorbing. At least if you like settlement and robot building). In that game...

Yet another instance of me wondering "is that too far" before remembering that ship had already sailed.CommentaryI accidentally forgot Justin's bowtie a couple strips back, then reduced the number as buttoned buttons on purpose to make it look like I was totally doing a thing on purpose....
Parable - 108 - HD
What? No, I'm not covering for the fact that I forgot the bowtie in the previous strip by making Justin's outfit gradually more revealing. Perish the thought!Edit - Reworded first panel a bit.CommentaryFair warning, I do like this result. And I'd BETTER, because Susan's long hair is ...
Parable - 107 - HD
A fairly late idea I had, in that I only had it a little while after the previous strip was done.While I've always been aware that hair shapes were the easiest way to tell my characters apart, it didn't quite hit me HOW important prior to the previous strip. Like, yeah, Susan has a different...
Parable - 106 - HD
Hair? Hair. Hair hair.Hair.CommentaryIndulgence intensifies.
Parable - 105 - HD
"WHOOPS, my scissors slipped. Now you have UNFLATTERING BANGS!"CommentaryLook, we're having a sequence with Justin as a magic barber.There is going to be indulgence and nonsense.
Parable - 104 - HD
The hottest Susan has ever been.CommentarySSSHHH!I'm having FUN.And to share that fun... Reference to Commander Riker growing a beard in season two of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Pretty much a mandatory beard to have with Susan. Jamie Hyneman's walrus mustache from Mythbusters. And possi...
Parable - 103 - HD
Well, of course.CommentaryThis is about hair, I like this fem-Justin design, I wanted light teasing, and this height difference is easier to work with, so yes. Yes to Justin the barber.In the context Justin was teasing at, a "beard" would be a man pretending to be Susan's boyfriend to gi...
Parable - 102 - HD
Yes, the vest had to come of! Because I forgot about it when I sketched her back, and I realized it would be in the way of seeing her back, which meant it had BETRAYED ME!CommentaryNow, Susan, let's be fair, here.You probably own several.No game I've heard of that allows for hair changes mid...

I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE ON THAT ISLAND O_OCommentaryThis both is and isn't inspired by actual Fable 2 nonsense.Cosmetic potions (height change, weight change, scar removal, etc.) being exclusively sold on an island that's part of paid DLC? Yes, 100%.There being FREE DLC? As far as I can recal...
Parable - 100 - HD
This all stands up to logic and continues to not be pandering, thank you very much.CommentaryI was originally going to have Susan drinking more potions in the comic itself, but then it occurred to me that the whole idea here is she's deciding how to distribute generic XP boosts, which would happ...
Parable - 99 - HD
No, I didn't go with this skill leveling up because I thought it would be a crowd pleaser.Though, if I were pandering, it is what I'd go with, so fair accusation, hypothetical individual.CommentaryIt originally said "Level Up!" in the last panel, but then I heard "Power Up!" ...

I'm not sure this actually needed a forth panel, but I'm not sure what I would have done with the extra panel width of only three panels, either. Ah, well, moving on!CommentaryThat much gold every five minutes in Fable 2 actually would be absurd. That much in an hour of play, however, or all...
Parable - 97 - HD
Maybe Bunny Susan's affinity for Susan hasn't gone up much, but I bet her dancing made y'all swoon.CommentaryEven though this is poking fun at the things you do to make NPCs like you in Fable 2, and how long it can sometimes take, that "10% goes up to 10.2%" bit reminds me more o...

One should probably know what they're being given to drink even if they like a person, but this is still an improvement. Well, from that perspective, anyway.CommentaryThis was what I originally had planned for the previous comic before realizing I really needed to address "why not just buy m...
Parable - 95 -HD
I hear they're made with berries, you know.CommentaryI hadn't actually planned on addressing this, but after being asked "why doesn't Susan just buy a bunch of the less potent potions" by several people, it became apparent that people had clearly FORGOTTEN how shops in the games ...
