Very nice.  I'm also going to add that the unknown creature might be a ferret or some similar creature.  Will be looking forward to the next installment.

Oh yes, glad to see you got over that cold.  I know how debilitating they can be.

The thing trailing Rif and Sandy has to be good at what he does. I'd think you couldn't get within a half mile of the ferret village without being seen by some ferret working on the outskirts of the town.

Yes.  He/she must be very, very good at what he/she does.

I have always found it funny in the Redwall novels having mice and hares living with badgers.  Now we have foxes, ferrets and wolves living with rabbits.  If its acceptable under one format, why not others?

Something tells me that Elara's need to see Rif ASAP and the thing that tailed him and Sandy have more than a few things in common.

I have a feeling this strip is an "insider's joke" for those that played the game.

The rabbit attendant's contradiction has me wondering about the outcome of the game quest.  My guess from this strip, (and I know I must be wrong), would be the Orb was stolen, Rif found it and for some unknown reason, allowed the world to continue thinking the Orb still missing.  However, the rabbit infers Rif found it and then somehow lost it a second time.  Which begs the question, why did they release their hostage, Rhea, if the Orb was never returned?

Hope the next strip gives us more information.

Liked the way you handled the journey without any intervening action.  Makes me even more curious about the unknown tracker.  Thought that was an interesting distinction of indoor and outdoor by having the rabbit's cowl down or up respectively.

QuoteI have a feeling this strip is an "insider's joke" for those that played the game.

There is a balance to maintain between explaining the whole plot of Rif's previous adventures (and thereby giving away the puzzles for people who have not played the game yet), and revealing enough to make the current situation understandable.

It is unavoidable to notice that the Orb of Storms is still not in its proper place, which is somewhat of a spoiler for those who have yet to play the game.  It is also apparent that Rif is "off the hook" as far as blame is concerned.  You might just say that there were reliable witnesses as to who took the orb and why it is not safely back in the orb sanctuary.  

Of course, that doesn't prevent rumor and innuendo from rearing its ugly head.

Anyone notice the blooper in Panel One of today's (3/1/06) strip?  


Look at Sandy.  His tail has been docked in the picture.  (Not visible)  In Panels Two and Three, it comes back.

There is certainly a tail there.  I think you need glasses.

I'm definitely seeing a tail, though I can also see how one could think that there is not...

You're right.  A closer look does show the tail, though it matches the background so well that I saw a bow-legged Sandy, sans tail.

"Such a bright youngster"? Sounds a bit out of character for Elara worded like that. Granted, the only time you see her in-game is when she's a combination livid/mourning but it just doesn't sound right coming from her.

It's not completely out of character. Once Elara knew that Rif was someone a close friend trusted, she became rather calm and helpful:

Rif: Then you will permit us access to the Sanctuary so that we may investigate the stolen Orb?

Elara: You may search to your heart's content. I shall open the gates, good fortune be with you.

And if Rif visits her later...

Elara: I hope your search has been useful, don't give up.
