CPR is performed, followed by the stark realization of one's place on the food chain...

I had originally wanted to draw panel 4 with fish-eye distortion so the gryphlet's beak would be hilariously enormous, but that proved too difficult to pull off. Maybe some other time... :)

I would have suggested just having the griffon's beak in frame with the panel looking like you were looking through binoculars to suggest it was from the King's pov, but then you would have had to setup and extra panel to show the King was opening his eyes. :)

Brighttail • 07/08/2018

Btw, love the "lub-dub" :)

Kirsten Wolfess • 07/08/2018

Is that Bapple the Dragon? (I don't think it is though)

Gryphons have the knowledge of First Aid born into them it would seem. waits for a homicidal Mama Gryphon to show up and defend her kids from the dragon

AlyxVixen • 07/08/2018

looks at incoming dragon Hai Bapple!

The Canidean • 07/08/2018

@AlyxVixen Nu. Bapple is green. This is Not-Bapple

(Edited by Jan)

OmegaWolf • 07/08/2018

All this is going on and I’m here sitting where the mother gryphon is. Oh we getting a funny gryphon vs dragon fight

Brighttail • 07/08/2018

That looks too big and too blue for Bapple.

Jo Li KMC • 07/08/2018

Those are some smart little gryphlets!

AlyxVixen • 07/08/2018

To the person who nicked my name (by adding the @), it's not cute, it's not funny. Stop it.

@AlyxVixen (and not @ "@AlyxVixen")

I'm about 98% sure that "@AlyxVixen" was a guest who misunderstood how the guest comment form worked, and was trying to reply to you. At least, that's my "benefit of the doubt" though! Hee…

Verp • 07/08/2018

That dragon reminds me of the turquoise colored iguanas. I should get an iguana or two now that I seem to be getting my life in order.

Kael Duranus • 07/08/2018

Yay!! Hunt and Peck to the rescue!! Clearly, they paid attention in the Junior Gryphon Scouts life saving course.

Ephesus • 07/08/2018

Panels 2 to 4 are adorb :3 Good thing they didn't have to do beak-to-mouth, that woulda been awkward (HAWKward? they seem eagle-based though). Plus, the moat was filthy so the king likely has nasty germs; the grifflets' immune system may not be strong enough to deal with direct oral contamination yet.

Anyway, I hope this dangerous situation doesn't DRAGON for several strips.

Katnik • 07/08/2018

If that's not Bapple, then were else have we seen a dragon - hmm, I seem to recall one slowly awakening in the Field of Freshly Sprouted Swords. A rather large one, I believe.

By the way, that's not how you do the Bunny Hop. Just sayin'.

Panther • 07/08/2018

Here comes the dragon from the swords valley . What is his aim ?

Griffin stomping on bunny , OK : the first paw is helpful to make him spit out the water , but the second ........... Luckily that bunny king has already childs ^_^"

ndrvr • 07/08/2018

The usual music playing from panel 7 on would be the Benny Hill theme, with all four running around in circles and stumbling over each other. Only to discover at the end that the dragon is vegetarian ^^ ......

The Canidean • 07/08/2018

@AlyxVixen That was me. Sorry. Don't know why I goofed that, I've commented here before.

Jan • 07/08/2018

@AlyxVixen @The Canidean Alright, I've edited the previous comment. No harm, no foul. Thanks for the clarification

Render • 07/08/2018

The little gryphons are great! Real lifesavers!

...

Where does the hungry seadragon come from?! Why's it wanting to snack on the king?! Will it success? Will Momma Gryphon come to the rescue? Will the king ever return to the castle? Will he finally say strong words to his kids? So many questions...

AlyxVixen • 07/08/2018

@The Canidean No harm, No foul. Glad this was sorted out, I've been under a bit of stress recently, and seeing that triggered a hackles raised reaction.

@Jan Thank you for fixing that.

Guesticus • 07/08/2018

Hmm, maybe Guardian Dragon was drawn here because, umm, wasn't the stone used to Bunnify the King acquired from the pommel of the sword the Dragon was guarding? o_O

jprime • 07/08/2018

@Render We don't know that's what she wants.

CopperWings • 07/08/2018

I'm thinking that crown is what attracted the dragon's attention.

Muddypaws • 07/09/2018

Enter the Dragon!

And to anyone picking on my friend Alyx... grizzly..., 6 inch toe claws and fangs... just say’n.

Jan • 07/09/2018

@ndrvr Ahahah, dangit, why did I think of that? ;D

@OmegaWolf @Katnik @Panther @Render @Guesticus Combine all your theories together, and you have the next comic... ^^

Panther • 07/09/2018 • edited

@ Guesticus :

The cursed stone was from another sword

So , two possibilities : this dragon is hunting the stealers (and all cursed "items" from) of hilts . Or he's tracking Silver to force her to take "her" sword by following the trail of cursed things

Vylit • 07/09/2018

Nuu! Silly Gryphlets, you don't perform CPR if you detect a heartbeat!

Still, they were lucky that the missed, performed it too low and it worked as a Heimlich maneuver to clear the airway.

WB101 • 07/09/2018

That's not how you nibble bunny toes.

Dawn the DrMooID: Moo?

Ummm... Not that I know anything about that. O_o

Ack! Incoming dragon-kisses! portals awaaay

ndrvr • 07/10/2018

@Jan hey, King Bunny is not clad in iron armour so the dragon has no incentive to roast and munch him ^^.

Dragon: "Ah rats, not canned food, so grass and leaves it is again. Stupid diet..."

McClaw • 07/10/2018

Adorable gryphlets, also very smart and helpful. Maybe the king can adopt them (and their mama) after he's changed back?

Don't lose that crown, and don't get et by that dragon! (Where's Bapple? He needs to come to the rescue, along with wildly running Silver and desperately pursuing Tor.

Silverwolf • 07/12/2018

@BrightTail: Maybe it IS Bapple...but she's flying at a speed approaching that of light, so she's blue-shifted.

Maybe the dragon knows it's the king...you know, with Tor having moved the gems around. But this dragon's been stoned for a long time, so...

Amurtigress • 07/12/2018

XD I love the gryphlets. And the poor king's CROWN JEWELS may take a serious hit there...if you catch my drift.

Panther • 07/12/2018

@ Silverwolf :

Are you serious ? Are you really imagining a dragon flying/approaching to 300.000 kms per second ? 0_o

Invi • 07/12/2018

@Vylit the gryphlet did not perform CPR it jumped on Kingrabbits tummy to get the fluids out of his system.

Matt • 07/23/2018

It's still breathing good now we kill it! Die Die all--ready will you!

Boingy boingy boingy

or is it mouth to beak recesation.

Matt • 07/23/2018

@Alyx Vixen it's not Bapple but Bapple's Parent or the stone dragon that woke up.

Matt • 07/23/2018

@Vylit yes restarting the heart though shock. Remind's me of the Movie Paul where the Alien brings back to life the bird they hit just so he could eat it.

Matt • 07/23/2018

Did that gryphon read the Cosmic Lotus? will the rabbit leave the queen for a gryph? what will the other gryph's say?

Silverwolf • 08/06/2018 • edited

@Panther: Well, 15,000 km/s, roughly speaking. The shift is only from green to blue. Stopping is going to be a pain.

At least it's not trying to get around a red light by approaching it so fast it shifts to green. That'd take a speed of 60,000 km/s.

Equation: blue shifted wavelength = (original wavelength * speed of light) \ (speed of light + approach speed)

Matt • 09/10/2018

@Silverwolf what speed is needed to shift it out of the visible spectrum into maybe say the microwave range or x ray range or infra red...
