Sorry, that was a typo; it’s actually The Trial of Renard. Although lord knows spelling was kind of an optional extra in medieval times anyway.

Ah crap, some one who knows what they’re talking about! Quick Jason, hide!

Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to check out the “Trial of Reynard” I would like to know about these characters’ basis in folklore.

We liked the robot cows. That’s all that’s important.

Pronunciation:

Antimony: Anne-tih-moe-knee
Reynardine: Rehn-nar-deen
Muut: Moot (close enough)
Coyote: Kai-yo-tee
Ysengrin: Iss-en-grin
Jeanne: Jonn (Sort of. Try http://french.about.com/library/media/wavs/Jeanne.wav)

Reynard and Ysengrin go together in medieval english folklore; the principal story you could look up, if you like, is called “The Trial of Reynard”. Spring-Heeled Jack is another folklore character (Victorian, that time), which is why the chapter is called that.

Also, if you didn’t like Residential there is something seriously wrong with both of you. There, I said it.

Her name is George.
Also you’re really reaching on those Harry Potter things, can’t wait to hear what you think of the direction of the comic!

@Walter: Thanks for the feedback, I think Jason just recommended you comic in the show for this week. He either saw this and didn’t get you credit or is secretly watching you some how. You should look into that.

@Daniel: Thanks for your thoughts. I’d have to go back a listen to the old Horizons Watch episode where we review Oyster War, because “too much reading” sounds like something Jason would have said about that comic. You guys probably aren’t wrong, I just have an absurdly high tolerance for words.

Still not sure what to think about It Will All Hurt though. Even thinking back on it confuses me.

@the Geek: I also read the first chapters of both Oyster War and It will All Hurt.
It will all hurt seems interesting, the art is good looking but the story is a bit to artsy for me(I might go back to read some more). Oyster War is well drawn, the artists picks interesting poses for the characters and the images flow very well. The biggest problem with Oyster War seems to be that sometimes it seems like there is to much dialogue, it kind of reminds me of those old comics that are barely readable.
From what I can make up from the previews Bandette the lettering is really bad, So I wan’t be reading that anytime soon.
And I have not read Ant Comic yet, for reasons that have already been pointed out.

Glad to hear we make the three episode cut.

I’ll be sure to get Our Blood Stained Roof a read before the winners are annouced. Have you read any of the other nominations?

Great episode! digital strips is one of the few podcasts that I still enjoy after listening to three episodes. And personally I think Our Blood Stained Roof is really good.
