Funny / Dragon

Go To

  • In general, the "voice" that the narrator takes on is that of the character that is currently in focus. But despite so, or maybe because everyone is so to some degree, you can pick up a distinct subtle snarkiness underneath it all sometimes.

  • Dragon
    • While pretty much everything Blue does early on is funny, the comic opens up with him waking up Guy who has fallen asleep to what appears to be the start of a racy porn scene.
    Blue: What 'cha watchin'?

    • Guy's daily coffee experiments.
    Blue: You don't have to do this. Sir, it's not too late to change your mind.
    Guy: Maybe it needs more balsamic?
    • After centuries of trying to communicate the surface and having long since lost hope of there being anyone else left alive, during his latest attempt Guy is suddenly greeted with an ominous scene of menacing glowing eyes in a darkened room equally menacingly asking him for identification and brusquely threatening to close off communications... when the lights suddenly flip on revealing Micah casually eating noodles and Mari stumbling into the scene from behind.

    Mari: Micah! I came as fast as I could! Did I miss it, a-am I too late?
    Micah: [pauses eating and looks at Mari]
    Mari: Oh gosh- I'm sorry, I've tracked in so much sand, there's a dust storm outside and I- I- I- [coughs] I'll go get the broom.

  • Sermon
    • The chapter opens with exposition cleverly disguised as a fire and brimstone sermon from the pulpit of a church service, and just when the preacher gets to the "best" part... Mari's Not!iPhone goes off interrupting everything.
    "I'm skipping out on church to go see the town-heathen and talk to strangers on the radio" will definitely not go over well as an excuse for your departure.

  • Contact
    • Blue materializing a formal waistcoat for his avatar after they've made surface contact for the first time in centuries...contrasting deeply with Guy who is still in his bathrobe and briefs.

  • Derelict
    • Caesar. Everything Caesar.
    Indulge in hubristic tendencies

  • Relic
    • Again, everything Casear.
    Caesar: I know you love this little game of ours. It's like a ritual between best buds.
    Emile: It really isn't.

  • Echo
    • Have we mentioned Caesar?
    You can't believe it, he's ditched you. Left his best buddy at the mercy of this thing.
    You guess your beautiful friendship meant nothing to him after all
