oh -oh ,, panel 4 ,, is white hair part of the Penta,, cuz if not ,, having those 50’s out with MyLady there is gonna be messy… jus saying…
???!! did he (@$$h@t) just write a bill of sale.??!!!! or a check (same thing).. tho concerning knights.. this is how they really acted , rich kids or lesser nobles with nothing better to do than piss on the lessers…
I think that looks a check, alright. I was expecting an assassination, but it’s beginning to look like a staged bar fight. Not much different ethically, maybe, but a better cover if you don’t WANT the psychological effects of an assassination.
This is why I didn’t join the discussion on swords earlier. It’s an alien design.
The holes in the guard are for opening beer bottles and catnip cans.
And while Teresa’s is ceremonial, it is fully functional. She just wouldn’t know what to do with it.
Edged weapons aren’t her thing, she likes her Sig.
Nice weapon. I thought the appearance of an oval edgeless blade was a limitation of the art medium you use. Now, I think it’s intensely appropriate for a knight who proved himself with a piece of pipe. Historically, edgeless but pointed bladed weapons did exist, the estoc for instance, and were used for thrusting into armor because they were less likely to break than an edged weapon would have been. Usually they had a square or triagular cross-section, but I have no reason to doubt the existence of an oval blade in an alien weapon, especially from a world where metals were rarer and more armor, therefore, was likely to be leather, wooden, or woven of other plant materials. And I keep thinking I’ve seen a circular cross-section on some kind of real world weapon, like a long rat-tail file, but I can’t come up with it. Maybe a mursicord?
@Jochi: close ,, Misericorde . an yeah basically a stake… cuz the plate armor was good up to a heavy mace or ax,. you had to have a Misericorde/stake to drive thru the under armor (at a joint) once the knight was down, in order to finish him.. an in some cases you still needed to hammer it in… example my under armor (maile an gambeson.) will stop all arrows, stilettos, an conventional handgun rounds (range tested)..

As for what the General is up to, next week is going to be hot.

‘Weapons at no fun, period. Swords especially- I hate getting things lopped off-‘
Kajm. Shut it.
‘at’…. how did I get ‘at’ out of ‘are’…. you should see the typos I have found in the rough draft of Eden, aggravating….
typo’s,, if it wasn’t for spell check,, i would not be here…
heh weapons are not for everybody… but im the type that can make a G.O.T. throne out of any major weapon type….(guns, knifes, swords, an bows…)
@Petercat: and,, i do have a Ninjato that can do all kinds of things,, including can/bottle opener… 🙂

Not edgeless. Has a lens-shaped cross-section, but it does have an edge.
