We're back!

For those of you interested in the S&S book, please help me decide on what extra content I should include in it: http://www.tigerknight.com/blog/2015-02-06-ss-book-deciding-on-extra-content

Interstate2011 • 02/08/2015

Eleven of what?

Indagare • 02/08/2015

@Interestate2001 - eleven guards are left.

Vandal • 02/08/2015

Quick Sheriff, you need to find Tor and hire him to replace those guards. Who in their right mind will do anything the slightest bit dishonest if it means Tor getting involved?

Tigermark • 02/08/2015

snicker Who better to guard the chickens than the fox? And the tiger.

And pigeons, don't forget pigeons.

Lord_Chaos • 02/08/2015

Hire Silver and Tor? Did Hell just freeze over?

soriac • 02/08/2015

Why not hire the barbarians? They are effective, fearless and most important, cheap. They only need their ammount of violence and poetry to be happy :-)

Jan • 02/08/2015

Soriac asks on FA:

"I think this calls for a new reader survey: who do you think the Sheriff should try to hire

more wolfes
more cows
more pidgeons
the barbarians
the red team
Tor and Silver
a baker with day-old bread
the blue team
the baby giffins
the carps
the pessimistic fortune teller
the skunk cabbage
other: _______

VOTE!

Vandal • 02/08/2015

Of course the Sheriff should hire Tor and Silver. They work cheap, they can't cause any more trouble than they already do, and Silver already has a deep spiritual connection with the barbarians.

Ooraka • 02/08/2015

Personally, I'd say the barbarians, as well as find out what happened to Tor and Silver. After all, while they've been gone, it has probably been EXTREMELY quiet.

Frith Ra • 02/08/2015

I'd suggest finding a defunct furry comic which many folks love & hiring from there.

I will, of course, leave which comic to the writer's discretion.

Rei Loire • 02/08/2015

I had Tor and Silver as well. But as he needs more personal than just the two trouble makers I'm also for the babarians. Silver has them quite good under controll with her poems.

jprime • 02/08/2015

Panel 3: The second word balloon is coming from the wrong direction.

LionkingCMSL • 02/08/2015

Me!

Standing at 8' - 6" (2.6 meters) at ears and weighing 450 lbs (204 kg) I'd make a good deterrent. :=3

For anyone that doesn't know my furry self, I am basically a normal quad African lion that "stood up". :=3

Thisguy • 02/08/2015

Can we not hire the red or blue teams and just hire a freelancer? Preferably Tex or Caroliner, both are basically one woman armies.

Khy • 02/09/2015

So wait. I don't recall... how is the guards all resigning the fault of Tor and Silver again?

JSStryker • 02/09/2015

Hire the barbarians

Little Fox • 02/09/2015

Well, let's see, Khy. I THINK Tor and Silver set the Barbarians on them, so many of them resigned because they feel they don't get paid enough for this job :-D

Little Fox • 02/09/2015

And by the way, I think they should hire the pidgeons. So far those evil birds were more efficient thwarting Tor and Silver's plans than any wolf-guard.

WB101 • 02/09/2015

A cranky old coyote-wizard of course. Anvils suddenly falling from the sky strikes fear in even the stoutest of hearts... muah ha ha ha! Errr... wait. Scratch that. Coyote-wizards have only limited ACME credit lines and don't work that cheap. O_o

Barring a roving band of Amazon-Vixen mercenaries (yeah I said it)... I'm gonna haveta go with the pidgeons on this. Those birds may already have some kinda Chicago/mobish protection racket going on with the local vendors anyway... and I know I'd hate to get between them and their breadcrumbs/bird seed. backs away slowly and portals out

(Sorry Jan. This is what happens when I try to ad-lib script in under 5 minutes prep. I owe you an ale... ;) )

thesmartfox • 02/09/2015

Tor and silver. I really want to see him ask them to be guards.

Khy • 02/10/2015

Really, Little Fox? I went back through and re-read the archives but that never really was explained very well. And even then, would the Sheriff know?

Akira • 02/10/2015

Ooh! Ooh! I can be a guard! I even speak tiger!

Arc Nova • 02/10/2015

You should hire a tigerknight! Then he can draw you new guards! :D

Guesticus • 02/10/2015

Lion-O is probably reacting to the guards' suggestion about hiring new blood, but wouldn't it be more funner if he just spotted Tor and Silver climbing over the wall because they didn't want to bother the gate guards? :

Anon • 02/10/2015

They should hire the skunk cabbage. Because noone will be bad if it risks skunk cabbage chasing them down.

Cujo • 02/10/2015

Love your work. This has had me on the floor laughing. You have a new fan. :-)

...and so does silver. {wolf-whistle!!} ;-P

LucarioZer0 • 02/10/2015

My first instinct says the he should hire the reds and blues, as let's face it, they could cause as much hilarity and chaos as Tor and Silver. But...they would be a bit out of place in this universe I think. Unless time travel or worm holes were involved...hmm...

With a bit more thought I would say the baby griffins. Who would dare attack such cuteness? And if someone did, momma griffin will be there in a heartbeat to put a stop to said attack on her babies!

ndrvr • 02/10/2015

Maybe an "olympic brawl games" with all of the above mentioned to determine the new 'cruits might be a bit of a stretch, isn't it?

Indagare • 02/10/2015

Tor and Silver - it would explain why Valley Guards were in that one town. They were looking for Tor and Silver so they could be hired.

Ashley the Magic Cuddlefox • 02/11/2015

In addition to the lack of guards, they now have a hundred or so trained fighters in town who are used to working together and suddenly lack a steady income. Who know town security inside and out. And are already aware of the manpower shortage. In addition to varying levels of disgruntledless towards the authorities.

Interesting possibilities there, no?

Lownleinhigh • 02/11/2015

Just hire skunks for effective (too much) close combat defense near the castle's vicinity and let Tor and Silver do the initial / primary defense.

As well, hire giraffes for scouts and look-outs also some hedgehogs for artilleries. (hehehe)

RetroWolf • 02/12/2015

I think Tor answer Silver and more Wolves! :D

RetroWolf • 02/12/2015

I mean Tor and Silver :P

Si'Rakasdarg • 02/13/2015

Why didn't the king EVER think of that?

MishaFox • 02/15/2015

They should go for the most evil and deadly of the group - the pigeons. Definitely the pigeons.

Little Fox • 02/15/2015

Yes, Khy, I think this page tells everything: http://www.tigerknight.com/ss/5-24 Although I have to admit that the wolf guards resigning because of this incident is my own interpretation. ;-)

Zalleus • 02/20/2015

Other: Unscrupulous mercenaries!

Silverwolf • 02/25/2015

Hire more wolves, Tor and Silver, and maybe a mage or two (although any guest shot for Wolf might lead to a hiatus in future episodes owing to repairs and hospital convalescence...but he'd make some decent special f/x).
