Comic #861: Impossible (Patreon)

This idea has been sitting in my idea queue for a while now. I make this mistake constantly. Hopefully the rest of you are as dumb as I am and can relate.

Until this morning though the premise was the same, the execution was completely different:

I was going to have a history book image of Khadgar fighting Medivh, then Nyte, looking in the history book was going to comment about how "They don't make heroes like this anymore". Then she was going to read another page which showed something very similar to the final panel of the actual comic, Khadgar reading the text for his quest, which had a quest item (Lothar's sword). The sword's effect would read: "Use: Impale Medivh with Lothar's sword, greatly weakening him".

When I woke up this morning, I had a fear that I had just done a comic like this. I went back and found the last history comic I did. And it's pretty much IDENTICAL. The punchline involving the quest item is different, but the entire premise is the same. So I panicked and made a more straightforward version.

I spent about half the time on the first panel. I really struggled trying to find the perfect stances for both characters. I tried looking up reference images, but none of them really showed what I was looking for. So I set up a camera and took pictures of myself looking like a complete jackass with my kid's toy sword.

I want you to know that me sharing these embarrassing reference images of myself are a testament to how much I appreciate you:
