It’s also the mini-icon that appears next to Oglaf in my browser’s Bookmarks.
I don’t think that’s supposed to be different colored hair: it’s the same color, in different lighting. If they were supposed to all be different women, why no blond or black hair? Why all shades of light brown and red?
It’s not a plea, it’s an order. The ransom was for 50 gold ingots. She’s not going to carry that all by herself off to the… goblin… dude… whatever’s castle. That’s what lackeys are for.
Ivan himself has the mark in the next-most-recent comic.
Is the site working for everyone else? I’m only getting the warning page, everything else is a 500 error.
I just checked and the site works for me, but no update since the “all right, I’ll pay!” comic that I can see.
If you didn’t notice, the latest comics have Epilogue links. I know some folks at the start didn’t realize some storylines span multiple pages. So, it’s like that with even more bonus pages.
I feel so bad for the Snow Queen!
Poor Snow Queen. 
The apprentice is a pretty clever guy. His biggest blind spot is that he thinks he’s worth more to the lady than he really is. So when he’s captured, he sends the cumsprite to get help, but she doesn’t care. When help doesn’t arrive, he assumes the sprite must not have made it to her, and keeps sending messages. She’s trying to ignore the constant stream of sprites, until finally she gets pissed off and orders that the ransom be paid just to stop it. The humor is that her own oh-so-clever spell turned against her.
Plus I’m pretty sure she had already decided to keep him and get rid of his replacement. Someone who’s the perfect butt monkey is hard to come by.
I’m dying to see this thing, but I can’t get it to work either.
For some weeks new releases are grinding the server/connection to dust. In a few days it will be be easy to see.
Someone with resources like Google should start hosting this as a public service!

Poor Snow Queen?!?! Look, I’m sympathetic and all, but very few guys are going to be into that. Maybe she should pick up a pack of furry condoms. I’d google it, but I have a fear (a rational one, mind you!) of looking for anything sexual in conjunction with ‘furry.’
The Yeti was adorable, though. So she has that.
The question is, does she melt herself if heated? If not, the solution would be a hot tub.
That worked. Thanks. Now to see what all the fuss is about.
That page opens near the end of the story for me. This is where it starts:
I don’t get the “What am I thinking?” “Uh… a salmon?” one.
