I’m assuming the woman in the first two panels is the chief thief.
That being said - what is the point of the two panels with the king? Of course, there doesn’t *have *to be a point . . .
I don’t think the woman in the first two panels is the chief thief. They are just two other examples of “It was all for this moment.”
Don’t explain it! You’re ruining the moment!
I think it would’ve been better without the second page.
I hadn’t even noticed the second page. But I kind of like it.
The shopkeeper ought to look a bit more surprised when he’s suddenly paid with a handful of gems, though.
All I know is that time I ran over an entire family to get to the drive-through, that Big Mac Trio tasted extra good because it meant something.
I missed the second page at first too.
2nd page alt/tile:
alt=“served in unicorn horns”
title=“taste the bloody sundae”
The first page could stand alone, but the second page is for the laughs. Especially the last panel.
Well, I think it would’ve been better without the first page. 
Anyone else get the feeling that for the chief thief, actually the big payoff moment was when she stood over her vanquished victims with loot in hand?
Admiral Akbar would have something to say about this new strip.
Deadfall
alt=“Free bait! Yay!”
title=“It turns out humane traps aren’t for catching people.”
The latest has a certain Wile E. Coyote charm to it, I admit, though it also closely invokes an ultra-classic early Simpsons moment about a rabbit snare.
ROFL! I was in a campaign once where we had to forage in the woods and the DM was constantly messing with our heads about what was safe to eat or not. The thing was, we were following a band of assassins who had stolen an artifact we were being payed to recover, and it was plausible they’d set traps for any pursuers.
I think this might be the origin story for the how they get you guy.
It’s times like that that you appreciate playing a character whose only dietary restrictions are “things that are on fire”.
Now SyFy has Ghost Shark? I call plagiarism!
The female anglerfish is quite the butterface.
Epilogue? Have I been missing additional panels all this time? About how many of them have an epilogue?
Five percent exactly.
