‘Hang on…’
Pretty quick, our Apprentice!
Probably not a good idea to request a ‘fucking monster’, though.
Huh, I just noticed that Apprentice is currently portrayed sporting a shiner, apparently from this off-panel beating.
The Alt-Text is best today. Yes, they were, in fact, making that allusion.
Alt-Text?
Do you mean the ‘salty wife’ on the mouseover? Or have I been missing something?
All I can say to that allusion is, thanks a Lot.
That city is clearly the opposite of Sodom and Gomorrah, in some ways, but also freakishly vulnerable.
Beware of the slut!
(It must be deliberate that the two guards from last week are dressed somewhat like the guards at Swamp Castle from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”)
A thought, by the way: Can Mistress see the city? Yeah, I know, she’s a slut, but we already know that neither blowjobs nor all the things that have happened to Ivan count. Have we ever seen Mistress unambiguously having sex?
We’ve unambiguously seen her pegging that angry monarch in “Ingratitude.” I’d call that sex, but Bill Clinton* might not ;).
ETA: * Better put in a standard disclaimer here for the insanely partisan. Joke only, not a political statement :D.
No we haven’t. I’m pretty sure that Mistress suffers from extreme penis envy issues, and associates penetration with domination and humiliation. Unless she got raped once upon a time before becoming a sorceress, I’m certain she has never had a man’s penis in any of her orifices.
Can someone explain the allusion?
The story of Lot.
Lot was a man who lived in Sodom. When angels visited the city, in the guise of humans, he let them stay with him. Because he was a cool guy like that.
The people of Sodom, however, demanded the strangers be sent out…to be violated. Lot offered up his daughters, in the angels’ stead (k, that’s kinda ‘wtf’), but were refused.
This confirmed for the angels that the city, and neighbouring Gamorah should be destroyed.
The angels gave Lot and his family a chance to escape, but instructed them not to look back. So, they fled, but Lot’s wife looked back, and was, as a result, turned into a pillar of salt.
No, but we haven’t seen her breathing either.
Is there another text besides the mouseover text? I seem to recall in the past briefly seeing text when the page was being slow to load and the graphic icon handn’t been replaced by the graphics yet. For example when I view the source code for the current page it says in part
alt=“We’re not open yet and may never be.” title=“Don’t fancy my daughters? Perhaps you’d like to lick my salty wife?” /></b>
A random check of other pages reveals alt= messages as well. Is there some convenient way to view them?
(Neither of these are the funny quip in the title bar at the top of the page, which evidently is Flash text and changes every time the page reloads).
‘alt’ message are the mouseover text. One can apply them to graphic tags.
Boy, that takes me back to the days when the net was so slow that you HAD to provide a distraction for people while the images loaded.
Wow.
Alt messages are not mouseover text, though some browsers treat them as such in the absence of a genuine mouseover (a behavior not specified in the standards, but also not prohibited). The alt text will show in place of the image, if the image hasn’t loaded (yet). Whenever I’ve had occasion to notice an alt message on Oglaf, it hasn’t been the same text as the mouseover text. Once the image is loaded, I know of no way to read the alt text other than going into the source code.
New one! I suspect that our apprentice is about to become unable to see the city anymore. This will no doubt prevent him from suceeding in his quest. I wonder if the mysterious stranger is the lady thief?
It’s not portrayed unambiguously, but I’m pretty sure that Mistress is being done from behind by the naked man whose lap she’s sitting on in the first page of “Masquerade”. (She’s also kissing one girl and apparently getting oral from another simultaneously, but I see no reason to assume that her multitasking skills would be insufficient to combine that with heterosexual genital intercourse.)
Based on the way the eyes are drawn, I’m thinking it’s likely.
If by “lady thief” you mean the Bandit Girl, star of “Lute” and “Lapis Lazuli”, how the hell would she be able to see Magic City? We’ve seen her getting pronged six ways from Sunday. So to speak.
Then she won’t be able to see the city anymore either.
