Lucky To Be Grounded
By “grounded” Hildeburh means locked in a closet. Sedrick played favorites. XD He’s not a very good dad. A dad, but not a very good one.
Also, thanks for all the comments on the last strip. <3 Hits mean something, but reader participation is love. And now I know I can get whatever I want by whining! Now to avoid abusing this power. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha. XD
Ha ha…it’s occurring to me just how big a theme ‘family’ is in WaM. XD Who would have thought? On that note:
READER PARTICIPATION! What’s your favorite WaM family group and why? :)

My favorite family is Sedrick, Hnæf, and Hildeburh. You really don’t want to know why. On the other hand I love this post, so that makes the family more awesome. Plus, I mean, supper intelligent kid with a mega computer, that is kind of cool.
I don’t? XD But maybe I do. Maybe I’m curious now. XD
Let’s just say that this arch tickles my soul and makes me very giddy. And that the tickling is because of Sedrick’s turn to the dark and evil side. So, I don’t love them in that they are the greatest family, they just please my darkside more than the functional families do.
Wait there is a functional family here? Where, where?
ummm ummm ummm, hnaef’s, cause he’s “friends” with security and sedrick is bad*** (if very creepy lately) (that was a hard one)
The Drivers. I don’t know why, I just love those two… Driver and the Valkyries make a really awesome team as well.
Definitely Ricky, Galen and Hagen… but Hnæf, Hildeburh and “daddy” Sedrick are a close second. I love the dynamic between the members of both families; it’s fun to see them in the same scene together and watch them interact.
I second Chelzii’s opinion. The Drivers are a fun family with all of the neat personalities involved. Ainsley and Alistaire have a fun father-daughter relationship, and Alistaire is very entertaining to begin with. The contrast between Driver and her Valkyrie sisters is also great, with Driver always being hilariously unladylike. XD The divergent personalities among the Valkyries themselves are excellent as well, and when you put all these sisters together, Driver and the Valkyries make an extremely entertaining team.
My favorite “family group” is Mordred, Wiglaf, and Ainsley XD
As for people who actually call themselves family, gotta be Garrott <3
Hard question. All three (that I can remember, are there more?) are pretty cool in their own way. Think I’d have to go for the conglomerate of thieves, though. Mordred’s family is still the best.
Ah, forgot the Drivers, there. They’re funny, but the Garrotts still beat them in the long run, to me.
The By-Standers. I think they were brother and sister, or something, but they act like family regardless. He’s zany. She’s long-suffering. They seem to interact with just enough quirks to make them interesting, but just normally enough that the reader can relate to them without suspending disbelief. ^_^
Liliy, do the By-Standers know Mordred’s downstairs neighbor?
Wiglaf’s family. They seem like they should be totally dysfunctional but they all love each other so much that it works! Even the two dads seem to be as much best friends as rivals.
Abububub HNAEF. PRECIOUS CHILD. *_*
Also, my favorite family is Galen’s. So messed up, but they really DO love each other!
Aaaaah… THAT explains it. Hnaef’s hoping someone will save Sedrick from himself…
Hm.
Kid’s got genius, but I’m wondering if he’s realized there’s going to be repercussions for everything…
Still, this is definitely keeping in character for the guy who helped Grace’s host find Bliss. He seems to be trying to use his knowledge for the benefit of others around him (While usually making a fat profit off of them)
I wonder if I’m even close in this judgement of his character?
The Driver/Valkyries! Why? Probably because I’m shallow and think Driver and Svafa are really cute and fun!
Haha, I think I like the 2 and 1/2 evil siblings best! Janus is so delightfully evil, and Arthur’s brother complex never ceases to entertain, and Mordred is Mordred- I love how the boy who doesn’t want to give a crap about anyone is the most loved character in the story!
I love Wiglaf’s family. Not only are they another flaw for Mr. Perfect but they are just a group of interesting characters. I can’t wait to see them more.
HMMMM… Favorite WaM group has to beee….. Arthur’s. Like, Arthur and Seddy and Hnaef and Hildeburh. There’s just so… much there. it has muchness. Second fav is Wiggy Mordred and Driver ;)
Ohmygosh and my love for Hnaef GROWS!!!! He’s so cute<3
My favorite nuclear family is Janus’. They seem to have one of the healthiest relationships in the whole comic. And I like it when the woman is in charge of the family.
Mordred, Wiglaf, and Driver :D
They defs count as a family group >.>
Yes! XD
I’d have to say Wiglaf’s family is the most amusing, thus my favorite. >w<
It’s comics like this that remind me Hnaef is still just a kid *squeeeeeeeeeeee so cute!*
And my favorite family would have to be Mordred, Wiglaf, and Driver–they totally count. But all the families (and characters in general) are so much fun it’s hard to decide!
I would have to say Mordred Wiglaf and Driver are my favorite family group and for blood family i would have to say Wiglaf’s because how can you not love the the insanity happening there that Wiglaf “just happened” to miss
Hnaef…..
I dunno… I would have said Driver’s family, because The Barber was just AWESOME. But now, Hnaef may have just swayed me to the Sedrick team. Family dynamics are important, but if nobody really cares for each other it doesn’t really matter, you know? So it’s nice to have this strip that kinda makes the entire family dynamic gel for them, even if Hildeburh is being all smarmy right now. : )
Ainsley and Alistaire have to be my favourites :) “Baby doll”. ‘Nuff said XD
Favorite family group is the Geat-Swedes, hands down. :D
Also: This page is a great and interesting page and I look forward to seeing where this goes.
Geoffry, Safir & Janus! They’re interact so well with each other and differently than with the other members of the case, not to mention Safir is adorable.
…I’m fond of the Sedrick family and Wiglaf’s family. They both have good characterization and depth, and for some reason I always get a smile when they’re highlighted.
While I adore Ainsley and Alistair (Southern families… like mine :)) I’d have to put my vote in for Sedrick’s little triad. Though Ricky and Galen’s fam runs a close second. ;)
I have no suitable answer to this…. I mean I love them all. >.> I guess I’ll go with the Garrott’s, because beneath all their scrapping, and yelling and angryness, they honestly love each other… Even if they have a hard time showing it.
Mordred’s little group. See Mordred is mommy, Wiglaf is daddy, Bliss is annoying sister, Driver is tomboy sister, Lancelot is the cousin who likes tomboy sister, Camlann is the brat and Hissy is the family “dog”. XD
The elder two Garriots yep and to some extent there progeny. Though Wiglaf’s family is kind of nice.
