Expresso has a caffeine addiction.

Delisle • 02/05/2017

Oh no..., back to the carp-infested lake again?

MiyuHogosha (aka Swift) • 02/05/2017

nice braking system..

OmegaWolf • 02/05/2017

Kiela should try to jump out or she'll get wet with them.

Zefiro • 02/05/2017

Ah, the dreams of being a big, fiercely dragon

TerinasTiger • 02/05/2017

This group of four's epic adventures continue!

Shadow Drake • 02/05/2017

Watch it skip on the lake all the way to the other side :P

jeffepp • 02/05/2017

That moment when the blood level in your caffeine system gets too high.

AlyxVixen • 02/05/2017 • edited

Given a galloping horse can hit 40-50 mph, the cart's likely to aquaplane a good 50-60 yards before drag slows it down.... at least Kiela has a boat of sorts...

...if the cart's spars don't drop into the sand and catapult our Gallant Adventuring Party into the carp-infested waters.

I'd say things couldn't get any worse but with their luck they will piss off the Loch Ness monster.

Shockwave07 • 02/05/2017

@AlyxVixen: But we have seen a few marvels of this modern medieval world such as automated horse carts, barbarian poetry, and sword filled theme parks!

Would a well maintained road be too much?

In other news, Do-va-Rrrarrry!

Brighttail • 02/05/2017

Oh Swell. Oh Carp. Oh Cheese n Crackers. Oh Glaives n Bratwursts! (aka Swords and Sausages)

I predict we are going to see much wet fur. Hopefully we'll get to see what Kiela has under her robe, at least a little more than what we have with the AMA. I also believe there will be much screaming of FISH, FISH, FISH!! I also believe Bapple will enjoy the FISH, FISH, FISH.

Oh boobies would be nice too. Boobs and Fish. (Reference S&S book)

Finally, poor Kiela. She tries to do Tor & Silver a solid and now she is heading straight into a lake. I wonder if she ever picked up those 3 coppers and if she did, will she lose them in the lake? Will she ever get a good meal? Oh and btw, Silver STILL hasn't had breakfast...

OmegaWolf • 02/05/2017

With the to be continued we might be switching either to the sheriff or those four adventurers.

Sonic Wolfe • 02/05/2017 • edited

Awesome ABS, I wonder if sheriff had to stop at every caravan stop asking for coffee instead of water and hay.

I am pretty sure that cart can float like a twig or sink like the amphibious car in certain Bond movie.

ndrvr • 02/05/2017

Instant coffee brake. Or is it break? How many miles per coffee gets Espresso out of a regular / decaf / black espresso?

Just curious for the charges because - driving cart without permit - no seatbelts - fishing without permit and-so-on....

...and there'll be at least a wet pussy ^^.

MishaFox • 02/05/2017

Ok. GREAT brakes on that horse. too bad the cart doesn't have any. I say the cart skips at least halfway across the lake!

Guestly • 02/05/2017

Expresso definitely expressed it well.

Jan • 02/05/2017

Hehe, lots of you seem to want the cart to skip across the lake. In comparison, I only have a mundane idea at this point. Ideas ideas! There could potentially be a Chuck Jones-style "Wile E Coyote" gag in there...

FYI, the comic is alt-tabbing back to the four adventurers next page. So there's some wiggle room for planning :)

OmegaWolf • 02/05/2017

@Jan think few want a wet Kiela also.

Guesticus • 02/05/2017

Zefiro: that dream was Espresso's nightmare

OmegaWolf Por que no los dos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OawrlVoQqSs :D

Philippe • 02/05/2017

...and now we know that the Sherriff's horse is named "Expresso".

Vulpis • 02/05/2017

I kinda notice that Kiela has nothing on under her robe.

jprime • 02/05/2017

You'd think the fear of being incinerated would supersede a caffeine crash.

Enigma • 02/06/2017

BATH TIME!! and Jprime depends how addicted one is to caffeine :3 and I would say Expresso was a very very good name for the horse. Now on to the cart mmmmm I don't see it realy going more then 3 or 4 feet before the wheels get stuck in the mud and fling every one and thing in it another 10 to 15 feet threw the air and in to the water.

Arc Nova • 02/06/2017

At least the cart will presumably float! XD

Zefiro • 02/06/2017

Guesticus: Oh, right. The thought bubbles take a left turn... though it would have been quite fitting dragon thoughts, too, I can assure you :)

(I guess someday I've got to upload an avatar here, but it's just so much work...)

Philippe: I think the name has been established for a while now, since "the leak"

M.Organ • 02/06/2017

Oh, you want ideas? The cart skips all the way across the lake, then, on the far side, hits a rubber tree. ;-)

Brighttail • 02/06/2017

We know that Kiela has clothes under her robe from the https://www.tigerknight.com/ss/ama-69

Whether she has that on now or not is another thing. I'm hoping we'll see if she has any markings under the robe or whether she is all white!

Shockwave07 • 02/07/2017

@Brighttail Maybe today she decided to go commando.

Kirsten Wolfess • 02/08/2017

Sooooo...... The reins are made of the same material as bungee cords? XD

Navarre • 02/08/2017

Looks like they may be in need of some expert in water services. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4144224/ (I am a diver IRL) Oh drat though, scuba gear hasn't been invented yet. But not to worry. Navarre has a metal knights helmet to which he attached a long hose and fire place bellows to pump him air. If anyone is interested in the glorious job of bellows pumper I'm hiring. But be aware, the help does not get paid until AFTER the job is complete and I am back on the surface.

Silverwolf • 02/09/2017

And in one fateful move, the aircraft catapault was invented before the aircraft. This led to the formation of the first dragon cavalry...

Katnik • 02/10/2017

1: Error 404 - coffee not found. 2: I see his brakes are still screeching, narcoleptic pony needs maintenance 3: Where are Tor and Silver ? I don't see them in the cart. 4: Soothsayer never saw it coming, she's all wet. 4.5: or about to be.

MIke • 02/11/2017

@Alyxvixen; the cart may go 50-60 yards on the water, but I doubt any of them are going to be good yards... Also most carts have the waterproofing of colanders... @Katnik; Tor is the orange blot on the left of the cart, Silver's feet are visible on the right, wait, left and right from our view, reverse that for the sides of the cart.

TheSkulker • 02/14/2017

Make like a toboggan and ... LEAN!

Suran • 06/05/2017

It's eSpresso. To find an eXpresso, go to the train station!

Matt • 07/07/2017

random person: "who in tarnation would even need to go that fast" parahrasing a quote from Back to the future III

Corvette: 0 to 60 in 12.2 seconds, more or less. Expresso: 40 to 0 in <1 second.

@Jan: You almost had it when Expresson stopped so suddenly without even bending his(?) knees.
