They’re Both Right
Poor Lancelot. He just wants to help. He really does. XD
Shame it always explodes. I swear, anything he touches turns into a murderous killing machine. His plants are cool like that.
And I finally got my copy of How To Train Your Dragon~ *squees* Hiccup & Toothless are soooo cute. XD
*cough*
Um. Not much else is knew. Re-discovering Stephen King by reading IT. LOVING this book. Like, mad loving. I think King is working his way into ‘favorite author’ spot.

Killer corn, oh dear.
What has out mad scientist/botanist gotten himself into? Looks like Mordred and Wiglaf will have to clean up his mess, somehow.
*our
And wow, first comment. :)
Manic sins against nature…I should shout that at someone next time I see littering. XD
Do It do it!!! XD
I like Lance’s last comment. Although, is it really Morded’s fault that nothing he tries to do evilly works at all? But it makes for a funny read. So, yay. : P
I’m really rather fond of Lancelot’s expression in the fourth panel.
:]
When I watched the live sketch session, I thought Liliy had drawn a painting of a bowling pin over the fireplace. Now that I can read the writing, apparently it is a wide screen TV showing the news being read by a bowling pin :D
I’d say that bowling pin has a long fulfilling career ahead, what with all the WAM-caused disasters that will need reporting. It has a good screen-presence too.
Yours reporting from the scene,

Two topics:
“Or did you just miss the smell of my mothballs?”
What do we imagine Mordred’s mothballs smell like? I’m going to go out on a limb and suspect that since his family is loaded they’re actually pretty high end and made at a minimum of cedar chips–perhaps something more endangered that he just uses because it’s more expensive.
Also, I’ve personally noticed that the older people get the more likely their arguments consist of making utterly true condemnations of each others’ failings without the slightest acknowledgement that the other is right about them. Are Mordred and Lancelot being old or bitchy here?
ACe, you have a superior sense of the WAM-verse as revolves around Lancelot. Consider yourself saluted.
Topic One: You are quite likely correct, but with one caveat– he uses them because Arthur or Janus gave them to him and he is too apathetic/lazy to go get anything different.
Topic Two: Something about aging makes removing the splinter more interesting than removing the log. Still, I think Mordred and Lance have just gotten to the point in friendship/familiarity where it’s possible to skip whole sections of conversation.
You’re too kind, I just have good pattern-recognition skills and mad scientist is usually a pretty simple pattern. You were right also: He did handle his plant problems by making a clean enough getaway that he didn’t get injured and the news people don’t know where he is. Thank you though. :happy:
Hmm… the log in my eye versus the splinter in yours is a grand theme for most of contemporary western civilization I think. I’m sure that if we were to start talking about instances of this in politics, religion and other such things I’m sure that would call forth impolite people who exemplify the point. Motion to ban politics from discussion maybe?
But it’s almost creepy that this guy and Mordred know each other this well–how the heck did he not get mulched by Mordred’s family issues? Just to start off, how he survived Arthur Junior’s overprotective tendencies is baffling considering he gets up to this kind of thing.
For the last bit, for all intents and purposes, despite his arguments otherwise, Lancelot is a Mad Scientist. They probably think he’s a good influence…
Well, he IS more successful at causing collateral damage!
Hmm, going from sending dragons after the kid who picked on him to intentionally allowing him to hang around with a lunatic of mass-destruction. I guess either mom or dad put their foot down against the siblings babying him.
Motion seconded.
Also, given what Liliy said about influences, Lance might have survived because Mordred actually showed some interest in competing against him. To this point, in childhood we’ve only seen Mordred show a distinct fear of the twins, grief over the loss of a minipumpkin, wariness of his mother, and general sluggishness over everything else. The Garrotts might have been about ready to give up on Mordred as another black sheep before Lancelot arrived on-scene.
Who knows?
I dunno, The Shadow might know what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Possibly Liliy knows what her characters were up to but telling us is what she does when she makes the comics, pin-ups and character pages.
Oh, Liliy, casualties includes injuries. You want the word fatalities I think.
Probably. XD
I love the chemistry between Mordred and Lancelot here. We get to see once again just how well they know each other, especially in their last exchange in the final panel. But no matter what Mordred says, Lance most likely will never call himself a mad scientist because he seems to much prefer being a scientfic philanthropist, trying to stop hunger and all. Too bad his botanical creativity has such dire effects. XD
It’s humorous how Lancelot never intended his science to harm anyone, but just to save face, he’ll gladly take credit for doing it accidentally because he knows Mordred wishes he could do it deliberately. XD
XD All part of being “arch rivals” I’d assume. Besides, from Lance’s point of view, his love interest seems to find villainy more of a turn-on than philanthropic ventures. If his subconscious is going to screw him up in pursuit of Driver, he might as well benefit from taking credit for it!
Heh heh, good point. Lancelot must think it useful to acquire some “villainous” charisma to try to get Driver’s attention, because she likes Mordred, and therefore, from Lance’s perspective, Mordred must be doing something right. He obviously considers the “mad scientist ” label demeaning and won’t call himself a villain, but he’ll try to milk his mistakes to try to one-up Mordred and impress Driver. And poor Lance–Driver probably liked him at some point in the past (she likes the attention of most males) but must have changed her mind when Lancelot became too obsessive and clingy, and when she decided that Mordred was her long-term dream guy. So Lancelot must feel that he has to work with whatever he can get. XD
Maybe if he tries to make something evil it will turn out helping people.
XD well lancelots finally come out of the closet…
Sorry i had to say it.
Hmm. Lance has come up with the perfect way to make Wiglaf leave while he visits with his high school friend, because now Wiglaf has to leave to save the country/continent/world. The poor man has to be twitching ever since he heard the news broadcast from the next room.
I… I honestly can’t believe you could do that by accident… That’s awesome!
Also, I think Mordred is learning to ignore Bliss… There’s no way she isn’t babbling something about Lance right now.
I just saw How To Train Your Dragon for the first and second time and ohmygosh so I love that movie <333 I don't think I've seen a cooler movie in a long time, and I've seen a whole lot of really awesome movies lately…
…heh, closet.
I have to say, I kind of like Launcelot. He sure is a better comedian here than in Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice”, at least :lol:
By the way, your mention of How to Train Your Dragon reminded me of a “short” animated film, made with Blender: http://www.sintel.org/
I’ve seen that one-Sintel, not HTTYD that is.
There was one I watched in my animation class that had a mother dragon trying to teach her baby dragon how to fight off knights trying to rescue the captured princess. I wish I could remember what it was called, but that was a few years ago.
Ritterschlag
I have it on my iPhone. :D
I’m pretty sure I spelled that right…
Yup! That’s the one! Thanks!
XD v funny! Poor Mordred, Lance’s right XD
And people wonder why I don’t eat popcorn…
I love how we get to see Mordred’s entirely black closet in one of the few arcs where he’s actually wearing something different for a change. XD
