That vixen did something awesome here. LOL

Tigermark • 10/20/2012

I guess they really liked the poetry. snicker

crimsonfang • 10/20/2012

technically a vixen is a female fox and silver is a wolf so...

SuburbanFox • 10/20/2012

Well, that was random... o_O

A horde of poetry-loving Taurens wreaking havoc? I'm with Frozen on this one... that sneaky snow-fox vixen had something to do with this... :)

This made laugh for three minutes, you deserve a award!!!

Thomas • 10/20/2012

The "pow" and the "punt" are good, as is the orange taur scrunching up the guard. But my favourite has to be the "furry cannonball" taur.

CANNONBAAALL!

i would like to hear what poetry it was that could ignite something like this.

Gabriel Fawkes • 10/20/2012

" technically a vixen is a female fox and silver is a wolf so..."

No silver is a vixen its in the lore sections that her species is Vulpes Lagopus or commonly know as Arctic Fox

Porter • 10/20/2012

@ crimsonfang - According to the Lore page, Silver is an Arctic Fox, so vixen is correct for her. Don't feel bad though. When I first started reading this strip, I thought her partner Tor was female, and just not well endowed...

Rocket T. Coyote • 10/20/2012

Stampede!

Gabriel • 10/20/2012

Hey Crimson, check out the lore tab up at the top. Silver is defined as vulpes lagopus. Which I think is Latin for arctic fox. :3

Also, the poem was CLEARLY about hooters having a good time with Silver and the guards were trying to put a stop to poetry readings with their hopscotch legionnaires.

And Tor? Well he's the poem-master, and needed rescuing!

My drawings have room for improvement! >_>

StompyChar • 10/20/2012

Ah, Astrix and Obelix physics at work!

Herra • 10/20/2012

Dear Jan , while wine and Artists do often improve with age , there is nothing wrong with your depictions . I enjoy them thoroughly . There is a nicely stimulating “Presence” to your style and I have never thought of Tor as a underdeveloped tigress.

Roaming Shadow • 10/20/2012

Oh no! Silver's messing up Tor's plans!

Fargo Wolf • 10/20/2012

0.o I guess this has redefined "The Running of the Bulls" =P

Chris "Foxx" Yost • 10/20/2012

Heeeeey, they're the guys from the poetry reading!

Radio Blue Heart • 10/20/2012

Whoa! That must have been some damn good poetry! Homer would be proud!

ralanr • 10/20/2012

BULLRUSH!!!!!

Crimsonfang...don't feel bad...when I discovered this comic 3 months ago, I thought Silver was a wolfess, too...I found out differently after reading the characters under "College Catastrophe"...the beginnings of Tor and Silver (and their species) are there.

Magius Alpha • 10/21/2012

Jan, do not by any means feel bad about your art style. You have a humor and sense of moment that most artists lack - and which is quite brilliant. Your style is uniquely suited for the sequential art format, and can put more into a single panel, action wise, than many artists put into an entire strip! No small compliment, that.

Cloak • 10/21/2012

Just had to upstage his plan with her own. He had the advantage, really. I mean, who plays hopscotch in full armor?

Karmakat • 10/21/2012

MY GOD what did she do to make them get to that point of "enthusiasm"? lol

Moonwolf • 10/21/2012

Always at the poor wolf's , they are always picked for the loser guards characters (like in the cartoon ,Robin hood) -.-
Thats it.this comic needs a Wolf Masterthief who appears every now and then to steal Tor and silver the show. just to fight stereotypes. (I guess a really competent wolf Guardsmen would also do)

But i have to say this is a really great comic and i #m glad that i found it. The "Bull Rush of the Poetry loving Tauren" made me laugh so hard man.Thanks for that.

50CaliberCat • 10/21/2012

She must have a hidden talent for persuasive poetry XD Maybe she read "The Charge of the Light Brigade?" Who knows.

Oldfurr • 10/21/2012

WOW. She must be one mean poetess.

Jan • 10/21/2012

Hehe, no worries, guys! I draw for the challenge of improving my art (and storytelling). If there were no room for improvement, I wouldn't still be at it ;) (The art on this page already looks way better than chapter 1's...)

that one pickle • 10/21/2012

well tore doesnt seem to be liking this at all...

Tigerlover • 10/21/2012

Great comics. This comics make me laugh and love it. You make good work Jan. About wolfs in comics is fine for me. Good choice anyway.

Timmie • 10/21/2012

That is a load of bull sh.... Ah, bull sh.... Hmm... Bull shenanigans.

Razmoudah • 10/22/2012

Yeah, I initially thought that Silver was an Arctic Wolf instead of an Arctic Fox myself, though she's one hot vixen if you ask me, even if she's supposed to be 'as cold as ice'. I never had problems with thinking Tor was female though, he's always come off as male to me.

UltimaFox • 10/22/2012

I have a feeling the poem was about Zurg Rushing or Leeroy Jenkins...just sayin

Zoabeast • 10/22/2012

is that brown one actually cannonballing into those guys. shiiiiiite thats gonna hurt when he lands XD this page is hilarious.

Crestlinger • 10/22/2012

There's great poetry, good poetry, poetry that makes your ears bleed, and then there's This: BS poetry that ignites all who hear it into a murderous frothy rage that can only be alleviated by razing to the ground everything in the vicinity of where you heard it at.

Meiyo • 10/22/2012

Is dress like a matador Well i think they have it handled runs away OH MAH GAWD!

GamerMouseElite • 10/22/2012

Great thing about a ridiculously funny comic, is you get just as many funny comments for it.

Arc Nova • 10/23/2012

Well, looks like Silver found a good use for that red cloth she stole afterall. ;)

Still, this is a tragic day for the pride of the guards of Vale Valley. First they lose at hopscotch and now THIS?!

Don't lose hope, lads! REMEMBER THE HOWLAMO!

Haystack • 10/23/2012

this scene begs for a Wilhelm Scream <3

love the comic so far!

Jeffwulf87 • 10/23/2012

Poor wolves! At this rate Tor and Silver are going to cause a lot of early retirements from the city guard!

Jeffwulf87 • 10/23/2012

Wish I could have come up with a creative way to play hopscotch like that when I was a kid. Awesome strip Jan!

Miavir • 10/23/2012

Why isn't it obvious how Silver made the bovines run ? She just declaimed some Vogon Poetry.

Misty Crom • 10/23/2012

Arctic fox is alopex lagopus.

Masa • 10/23/2012

I love the first/second panels, Tor 'overpowering his guards' with his hopscotch skills.

Rocket T. Coyote • 10/24/2012

It's clearly a Bull Market in this kingdom.

Radio Blue Heart • 10/24/2012

The bull squeezing the wolf-soldier into a ball reminds me of "The Toxic Avenger"!

crimsonfang • 10/25/2012

ahh my bad i never looked at the tail that closely i usually just look at the faces and silver's face does look more wolf then fox, me being dumb and not paying attention to the finer details my bad :P.
