Parable - 50 - HD

Ring in the new year with RHODA FACES!

Commentary

There was really no chance that Susan wouldn't use the "keep her figure under control" potions, but that is why Thomas Edison invented fantasy panels and the like.

In Fable 2, it would be unrealistic to quickly max out like this via potions. I imagine one could do so eventually, but they'd have to be at a point in the game at which the really top tier potions were being sold, and they'd also need a r...

December Poll #2

Can vote for more than one

Elliot and Noah are about to have a physical competition of some sort, but suddenly, they both transform into extra busty women in different clothing!

But what were they about to do, and what outfits do they wind up in?

December Poll #1

Can vote for more than one

Grace, Justin and George are in busty female forms while working the comic shop, and don’t seem to be bothered by it.

How did this happen? Well, in the foreground, and presumably being held, is...

Feminine outfits survey

Mostly for post-transformation, though I suppose just in general, too. What sort of outfits and uniforms have the most appeal?

Parable - 49 -HD

It took forever to draw all those just-off-panel skeleton monsters.

Commentary

I had originally planned to make Susan much less animated as a sort of comment on just how dull a battle strategy repeatedly using charged area-of-effect spells was in Fable 2, but my desire to draw fun poses overwhelmed my desire to visually criticize that issue with the spells.

That said, if she does more of this, there is the option to make her progressively less animated as sh...

Christmas Nonsense 02

Oh noes! Santa Ellen has been caught giving magical presents to all the people she felt like giving magical presents to, and who Tedd was willing to enchant things for, by sleepy Nanase!

Santa Ellen's only option is to give Nanase a magic kiss that may or may not convince Nanase to make a fuss about Ellen sneaking into her house at night!

Parable - 48 - HD

The manly pecs of a manly man.

Commentary

I know that last panel isn't anything close to resembling actual logic please don't yell at me I'm so sorry

Today's comic is brought to you by my imagining Elliot in the last panel sounding like a young Woody Harrelson playing the character of, well, Woody on Cheers.

Also, the fact that I didn't feel ready to do the next real part of the story, but mostly the Cheers-inspired thing.

Black...

Christmas Nonsense 01

Santa Rhoda makes a Christmas card with helpful pals, Diane and Lucy!

Shrinking one or both mid-shot was always the plan, but it took several attempts to get one they were satisfied with.

Friends and family not familiar with Rhoda's powers had several questions, the answer to which was always "photoshop".

----

I wanted to make Rhoda's hair like a cartoon Christmas tree, and I think I did all right. Only issue now is I'm going to be tempted to draw her hair like that in...

Parable - 47 - HD

This all adds up ask anyone

Commentary

I'm not drawing skelemans again you can't make me

Also this means you'll get to look at Rhoda and Susan instead of the undead

This is a win-win for everyone you must agree

Parable - 46 - HD

Whoops I should've covered up Susan tail area with her tied back hair hang on I'll just fix it

Commentary

I would say it's unfair to judge Susan based on her appearance, but it is a fact that doing evil things in this world will transform heroes.

Well, the main hero, anyway. Only the protagonist seems subject to this nonsense, so it seems likes it wouldn't be that widely known a thing, PLUS it's arguable what should and shouldn't get the protagonist "evil" p...

Parable - 45 - HD

Never use that insult in a fantasy setting. For all you know, they're some fantasy creature who will take you up on it.

Commentary

Susan is naturally conflicted about having such a reaction, and yet she can't help it.

Such is the power of Rhoda.

At least now we understand why he was insisting on only the best. That doesn't make him any less obnoxious, but still!

Parable - 44 - HD

I could have given her a lute, but then I'd have to draw her holding a lute.

Commentary

I'm not sure if I've heard a variation of Susan's "you want this amount of gold, because I'll give you double that" proposal in the last panel, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't a thing somewhere.

Anyway, spoiler warning, this will totally work, and soon we shall see who the first other hero is...

Parable - 43 - HD

Added bonus is, at that size, you could just pour in whatever other potions you like onto them as well.

Commentary

However small Susan's shrunk them, it's at least enough to fit eight of them in that box. Don't worry, though, it's got air holes.

And THIS is something I've been wanting to have happen since before I even got around to the potions, and the main reason I included shrink potions. Granted, this is me, I probably would have included them anyway, BU...

Parable - 42 - HD

EDIT - Couple small corrections

Morality matters far less than one's social media presence.

Commentary

The only part of this that's hyperbole is how expressive that guy is, which I admit to taking some pride in. The expressiveness part, not the lack of hyperbole.

Just look at that panel two sass.

It was an actual mechanic in Fable 2 that some quests would be unavailable if you weren't famous enough, and I'll say this much for th...

Parable - 41 - HD

EDIT - Messed up Susan's greys! Kept the original version for download (mostly just darker hair and some clothes), but the correct version has "FIX" in the name.

No one tell Susan about various anime shows with hammerspace.

Commentary

Time passing in RPGs with day/night cycles is so weird. Sometimes, it will matter. More often than not, it will not.

For example, in The Outer Worlds, you can walk onto your ship, and it can pote...

November Christmas Themed Poll #2

Santa Ellen and companion Nanase! But what SORT of companion Nanase?

November Christmas Themed Poll #1

Christmas themed because Christmas, and also so they totally need to be done before the 25th, darn it!

Speaking of Christmas, Santa Rhoda is making a Christmas Card with shrunken Diane and Lucy! But where has Rhoda put her friends, and is Lucy shrunk more than Diane?

Can vote for more than one, two parts to poll.

Parable - 40 - HD

Naturally, there'd be half a dozen more if we zoomed out.

Commentary

Okay, we WERE going to move on to the next part, and I don't generally like doing things based on reader feedback unless it's to clarify something or correct a mistake, BUT a spirit bear (or someone using a spirit bear icon, either/or) was disappointed that Arthur had not mistaken Bunny-Susan Larry for actual Susan, and I immediately decided SOMETHING had to be done about that.

I'm not actu...

Parable - 39 - HD

GASP! The prophecy was TRUE!

Commentary

Arthur the train conductor is ready to railroad this story back on track!

(I don't normally include preview images here, but hey, this one deserves it.)

I've already covered most of the things that inspired this storyline (basically one thing left), but since then, I've thought of fun ways to both complete my co...

Parable - 38 - HD

I'm sure Arthur the mysterious guide will keep waiting indefinitely and at no point will we see him wear any manner of significant hat.

Commentary

I'm not saying it's universally believed one can just do whatever they want so long as they give money to churches, but I'm not saying it's universally NOT believed, either.

Susan will follow her own morality. And indulge in simulated nonsense, because it is simulated, and it is nonsense.

I had so much fun w...

Parable - 37 - HD

But does she wear Prada? Because, you know, that movie, The Devil Wears... You know what? Nevermind.

Commentary

Okay, we've seen Susan's boots while dressed like this. She can have a proper outfit again.

...What? That's not a weird thing to say.

I found the concept of Susan not being able to explain the potions while using the "drink this" expression, and it just being her saying the same thing while gesturing in the same way to every NPC, a difficult ...

Parable - 36 - HD

There's an obvious joke to be made about horns in the last panel, but I have decided not to go there. Behold my incredible maturity.

Commentary

Wait a minute.

Are you telling me that telling people to drink potions without giving any explanation for what's going to happen is... EVIL?

I mean, in real life, people would have follow up questions and probably just say no, and these are NPCs who just agree to whatever if you use the right expression and the...

Parable - 35 - HD

What a rascally rabbit.

Commentary

Susan.

This isn't going to spiral off into wacky sitcom hijinks of trying to get Larry the Bunny Susan together with Dunkel the Blacksmith or anything. Heck, I wasn't even sure I should include this in the storyline, but before I knew what was happening, I'd settled on the poses and sketched it, so here we are.

Speaking of poses, I'm not sure Larry the Bunny Susan's pose in panel one would actually allow them to get a...

Parable - 34 - HD

For the record, the height difference is exaggerated slightly due to the bunny outfit including high heels.

Commentary

I'm sure that horned symbol in panel two's not important.

What of course that outfit's in this game why wouldn't it be

Also of course there were good odds of an asset swap potion resulting in a light haired Susan in that outfit

No my decision to make her light haired wasn't influenced by it taking slightly less time to do that ma...

Parable - 33 - HD

I'd say that's technically not Ashley in the last panel, but that would technically not be Ashley even if an NPC who originally looked like Rich hadn't transformed into her.

Commentary

Why did Susan "poof" into weight gain before, but have a between stage here?

Because I wanted to draw a between stage, of course.

These attraction potions are another thing in Fable 2 DLC, and as both Dea Elsee and Susan point out, they're not much functionally ...

Parable - 32 - HD

EDIT - A shadow in Nanase's hair was missing

If I've done my job, Nanase gives off a "I've already had so many potions" vibe in panel one. If not, maybe you're thinking it now! HA!

Commentary

"Chicken Chaser" is a nickname you can have in Fable, I believe you can kick chickens in spite of not being able to kick anything else, the opening cinematic for Fable III involves a chicken, and the game also includes a chicken suit you can w...

NPCs To See Survey?

There will be more NPCs in Parable, and naturally, they can look like pretty much any character who's not Susan, so... Who are you interested in seeing?

Please "like" suggestions you agree with via the heart icon.

Also, I have no problem with repeated NPCs, or even the same person repeated in one panel. It's been established that there are "assets" being reused, after all.

Parable - 31 - HD

EDIT - A couple of corrections

"A few"? It's going to take more than "a few" for Susan to make sure every NPC in town looks like someone she likes, darn it!

Commentary

I was originally considering general transformation potions you'd expect me to include, but they didn't feel specific enough to video games. They were just transformations I'd generally include.

And one could argue that these aren't that different from that, but I personally enj...
