"Oh."

Kael Duranus • 12/20/2015

Uh oh... Isn't that the pessimistic fortune teller? Tor is in for it now...

Jan • 12/20/2015

@Antarian_knight She does look somewhat familiar, doesn't she? And he has a bad luck charm. Her readings are going to be off the scale ;D

jprime • 12/20/2015

Those last two panels have a soothing air about them.

Silvador • 12/20/2015

I guess you could say this encounter was.... fortunate? :D

Sereverus • 12/20/2015

lol tor, funny thing is i used to do tarot, palm, and tea leaf readings in school during lunch lol, i always made sure to bring my looseleaf on fridays x3

Perfesser_Bear • 12/20/2015

The fortune teller needs some elevator music in her waiting room...

Spazzmatt • 12/20/2015

Didn't Tor already get his fortune told to him by the charm merchant? I can't remember, and I'm too lazy to look it up...

Someone please look it up for me. :3

More to the point Tor, why is there a fortune teller in the middle of nowhere?

Jan • 12/20/2015

@Vandal His brain hasn't caught up to that level of analysis yet. It probably never will ;)

ndrvr • 12/20/2015

Speaking of bad luck, the fortune teller could've told Tor that there may be some delay, unfortunately. Alas, the horsebutt was in the way.........

Jo Li • 12/20/2015

And Silver's like, "Really." Heh heh.

soriac • 12/20/2015

I predict the fortune teller will look into the glass ball, break out in sweat, mumbling something "umm, glass ball broken, must go, err, pressing appointment somewhere else, f- forgot to turn off the gas and stuff, yesyes, inahurry, heresyourrefundbye...", then grabs the horse and starts the seeing busines somewhere else on another continent :-)

Tor: "Well, there is a seat, and logically, I must place my butt here." Silver: "I think there's a missing conditional with your logic..." Tor: "Silver, i'm working with whatever logic I can here."

Ooraka • 12/20/2015

If it fits, he sits.

Alphawolf • 12/20/2015

If I know anything about Tor, This is going to end badly

Panther • 12/20/2015

It's me or Silver is holding Tor's hand in her ones , in the third panel ?

drivernjax • 12/20/2015

Vandal, an even better question is, "Where did the stool that Tor's sitting on come from?"

Panther • 12/20/2015

@ drivernjax : it was already here , just hidden in the "dead angle" of Silver's body

Katnik • 12/21/2015

C'mon, Tor, be a gentleman and offer Silver the stool - she's the one with the wounded ankle. Besides, you already know what kind of luck you have. . And who is that guy the soothsayer is counseling ? Is he a gnu character ?

Vanbael • 12/21/2015

Despite being in the the middle of nowhere, I think this one has a good chance of having some reassurance on her. :)

Doesn't the fortune teller look like Silver? Could the fortune teller be the one the guy on the previous page was referring to? In the third panel, is Tor asking himself "Do I know you?" the white foxes related?

Matt • 12/21/2015

The other charater is the owner of the horse?

Sammy • 12/22/2015

Game: You are in the middle of a clearing in the middle of the forest with trees all around. There are exits to the north, south and east. To the east is the horse you slammed your head into. There is a fortune teller attending to a client at a table in the clearing. Since it is daytime, there is no chance a Grue will eat you. What do you do? Tor and Silver: Sit down and wait for the fortune teller. Game: The fortune teller and client stare at you.

JohnSmith • 12/22/2015

Wait... Doesn't Tor still have a bad luck charm, because if he does then his luck is negative and the fortune teller tells negative fortunes then he should get a good fortune because -1+-1=+2 Logic everyone.

choo choo george • 12/22/2015

JohnSmith, we're talking about Tor here, so in this case -1+-1= -11 a negative #. Illogical.

drivernjax • 12/22/2015

Panther: Okay. I guess it could have been hidden.

Katnik: Good one. I love a good pun, even if it's a bad pun, it's a good one.

Katnik • 12/24/2015

@drivernjax Thanks, so many people say that puns stink, so I just thought I'd put in my 2 scents worth.

Muddypaws • 12/25/2015

"I see in your future... MOO-Money! Moo-ving to a new township! A bride who fines you make the Earth MOoooove for her."

Buffalo: "Really?"

"No.. not really. That's 20 Gold pieces. NEXT! YOU.. Tiger! NEXT!!"

Panther • 12/27/2015

Love the fortune teller and the buffalo (?) in the second-third panels , looking at Silver and Tor , surely thinking :

"- What is this tiger headbutting the horse ?"

Hunter • 12/27/2015

@Spazzmatt Shortly before finding the charm merchant, Tor had his palm read. http://www.tigerknight.com/ss/8-12 The reader's prediction for his near future was not the reassurance he was searching for.

Silverwolf • 12/27/2015

@JohnSmith @Choo choo george: I think either one might work with Tor. Two wrongs don't make a right, but a wrong raised to any even power equals a right.

And three rights make a left.

Crazy Carl Coyote's Outfitting Service sells 're-insurance' as well. See the 11/22/15 comic comments for details... ;p

Oh look... a Horse With No Name. :D

One wonders if that familiar-looking fortune teller used a portal to get to 'nowhere'? Of course... if it was nowhere... it wouldn't be 'here'... now would it?

And if they are bandits... why are they not borrowing that horse?

I'll just agree with Silver on this one... O_o

Matt • 01/05/2016

Tor should have offered Silver the seat.

Rocket T. Coyote • 01/17/2016

Never approach a horse from behind, Tor.

Arc Nova • 02/15/2016

Fortune Teller: I see... I see... The face of a nitwit tiger plowing straight into your horse's rear end. Ox: Preposterous! What kind of sham fortune telling is... ............ Ox: ...Do you have change for a gold piece?
