Like Statues…
I think today’s WAM is in the running for most random background ever.
And if you’re wondering, said event Driver is discussing happened some time ago. Lancelot’s had time to recover. 
“La lune trop bleme pose un diademe sur tes cheveux roux
La lune trop rousse de gloire eclabousse ton jupon plein d’trous
La lune trop pale caresse l’opale de tes yeux blases
Princesse de la rue soit la bienvenue dans mon coeur brise
The stairways up to la butte
Can make the wreched sigh
While windmill wings of the moulin
Shelter you and I”
“Complainte de la Butte” by Rufus Wainwright

{The Adventures of Wiglaf and Mordred 202: Like Statues…}
{Four 4 Panels. Lancelot, Ainsley Driver, Mordred, Wiglaf.}
[Wiglaf and Mordred’s shared livingroom at Springland Apartments. Lancelot and Ainsley Driver sit on the green couch while Mordred and Wiglaf stand by. Ainsley looks curiously at Wiglaf who is explaining with a half-smile. Lancelot slumps over looking very dissatisfied, knees up and arms either crossed or falling resting against the couch between his legs. Mordred stares into space, also looking dissatisfied, with his arms crossed.]
< Pout (above Lancelot) >
Ainsley Driver: Well, well. Look’a who decided ta’ show.
Wiglaf: You two were catching up, so Mordred and I…
< Pout (above Mordred) >
Wiglaf: We just got a bite to eat.
[Same scene as panel one, but Wiglaf gains an expression of guilty discomfort and refuses to meet Ainsley Driver’s eyes.]
< Still Pouting (above Lancelot) >
Ainsley Driver: Uh, speakin’ o’ that. Wh’appened ta’ Chief?
Wiglaf: Um, let’s just say it involved being called a girl and leave it at that.
< Ditto (above Mordred) >
Wiglaf: He’s not speaking to me right now.
[Same scene as panel one, but Wiglaf is now looking concernedly at Lancelot, while Ainsley Driver assumes a grim caste.]
< Ignoring while pouting. (above Lancelot) >
< Etc. (above Mordred) >
Wiglaf: And Lancelot? What happened to him?
[Same scene as panel one, but Ainsley Driver looks satisfied and Wiglaf looks cheerful.]
< You get it. (above Lancelot) >
Ainsley Driver: ’e got fresh with me an’ I kicked ’em down south.
< Pouting (above Mordred) >
Wiglaf: Oh. Glad we missed that.

Ha ha ha… ouch. *_* Driver is cruel. XD
And yes, this WAM definitely wins the most random background ever. As well as probably most pouting in one issue. XD
Does Mordred just get new wallpaper every week that changes color or something?
by the way lots of fun
It’s PSYCHIC Wallpaper xD [ doctor who reference ftw]
Maybe it reflects their moods depending on events that happened and such? It’s like kaleidoscope wall paper :3
Lancelot and Mordred suck at pouting. It’s more like they are scowling. Mordred just looks disinterested. Also, I think Wiglaf is too quick to speak for Mordred, we all know how he likes to be all evil and stuff. Seeing some good ‘ole nad kicking might lighten his mood xD
I have decided that I admire Driver. I’d never be able to do that with a guy who simply got fresh with me. All hail Driver and her personality!
Ah, Driver….she’s a force of nature. ^_^
Hehe Those are funny random backgrounds alright. They look like wallpaper for eccentric decorators. XD
ow! wow driver you are cruel!
haha it seems that the magic walpaper isn’t just in Mordreds apartment. it’s kinda everywhere

Eeep! Sorry, new reader. I LOVE this comic, it’s hilarious and beliveable.
Ha ha, ouch. Driver is one of my favroite characters.
Thanks for the tutorial link. I forgot about the half-tone option. Might have to play with that.
Wiglaf must be glad he missed the kicking because he’d have felt the responsibility to intervene somewhere along the way, either by leaping to defend Driver’s honor when Lancelot started into his freshness, or by somehow averting/avenging the kick. Having to act the hero among friends always makes enemies of them– it’s worse than the perfection that drives them away through intimidation/resentment.
The expressions really carry this one, Liliy. Nice work! That particular variation of the wry expression you gave Wiglaf in the second panel is new to your TAWM/WAM repertoire, and you gave Driver her forbidding grim lips in the third panel. They always work well on her.
