Keith is dressed up as Clovis, and Nathan I dressed up as a zombie, yeah a little too close to home

Keith Keiser

It's not cute, just.. Looking out for a friend

noxamillion

Aw. They know each other too well. I wonder where Keith got a facsimile of Clovis' cloak?

ProudLoneWolf

Probably described it to Kat, who made it from scratch.

I was going to guess that Keith's worst fear was Dead Natani, but I expected Tom to just give her one of those headbands that makes it look like there is an arrow in her head

Ebin Shumate

Natani’s one grey eye actually kind of fits the “zombie” costume...

Toby T. Tobes

I love that fact they realize this, at first cute idea, is too real and uncomfortable. Also I love the fact Keith's worst fear is Natani dying. His fear is cute but also tragic because this fear is more intense for him losing Laura.

Toby T. Tobes

Also the thought of Keith telling Natani his biggest fear is losing her is adorable!

Maine

OMG I'm smart...I thought Natani's greatest fear was taxes. Until I took a closer look

Saberbeam

Well probably also that 😂 Maybe Keith's just one upping with Natani's *two* greatest fears.

RedFlames

You got me real confused about Natani's pronouns for a second. "Losing him", aye?

MoppyPuppy

Natani could just be a zombie OR Keith's zombie Laura, Alaric, his mom, his dad, that Basitin asshole from the Basitin arc...

RedFlames

Clovis and a zombie walk into a bar... and, uhh, Brutus says hi?

Thisguy

Yeah, it’s the clasp that seals it.

LifeWulf

This gets tiring to explain but there are always new readers so: Natani is a she who goes by he for convenience's sake at first and to protect herself (no women allowed in assassin's guild), then after her soul was damaged and Zen filled it in a bit with his own, the masculine side more or less took over. As we see in more recent comics however, the feminine side is making a return, and most in the main group now know Natani's got boobs so there's less of a reason to hide it anymore except for the sake of tradition and she's used to it. It will take some time but perhaps in the distant future I see Natani giving up the magical bindings (or just keeping them because they're practical for fighting). Were the character real, she, or he, would not stress about pronouns much I imagine. Call them whatever you want, just don't go around correcting people because it's never been definitively stated.

I think the point is Keith has been traumatised by too many dead people close to him that zombies in general frighten him.

Roughlandin

Keith: "We could go as each other's SECOND biggest fear, but 'being open about yourself' and 'committing to another serious relationship' sound kind of hard to make costumes for..."

Jordan Dean Ezekude

I'm pretty sure that the fear of losing the one(s) you love is extremely common.

deffinitelynobody

This sounds like something they would have come up with while hammered

steelabjur

Especially someone like Keith, whose lost so many people violently (his mother, his father, his best friend growing up, Laura, etc.)

Going from my personal life I can say "spot on"

Ordithus

Natani's costume is very convincing. Illusion magic IS useful!

durandle

good illusion magic also covers invisibility it is very useful

SCD

Keith: By sillier I mean dress up as Gumbys from Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Natani: My brain hurts!

Hankitty

(spy) "There's more"

Alto135

(sandvich) 'dresses as heavy'

The Last Milkman

What Tally said. I feel like Tom putting "gender: male" on the character sheet is pretty solid evidence. Sure he's been opening up a little lately but I feel like he's gonna still be a guy.

Renmaru

He also put Sex: Female and in recent comics Natani seems a lot more okay with the feminine side of... them, making a return. So all in all I'm gonna avoid the pronoun game until Natani decides what the fuck they want to be called, and they doesn't even feel wrong what with all the personality issues going on in that head...

Golden Gears

I could have sworn that zombies scared Nat because of that one graveyard scene from the comic where Nat goes into detail about why it's better to cremate the dead then to bury them.

Mattgames4110

Round one fight.... K.O Natani wins and Keith loses.

Golden Gears

I could have sworn that Nat would be the one scared of zombies due to her not liking the fact that the basitins bury the dead instead of cremating them. She was too scared to even walk into the cemetery without coaxing.

Shockblaster

Well, it's not much "Natani is a zombie" as it is "Natani is dead", something that Keith would really fear, seeing how many of his loved ones died...

Torbjörn Larsson

"just don't go around correcting people because it's never been definitively stated." Well, try to say the same to Nat, that clearly prefers to be seen as his chosen gender. The general rule is to be nice, and correcting people on this - whether Nat is real or imaginary, others are in the same situation - is nice.

Torbjörn Larsson

The zombie magic is strong in that one. But I woul love to see the followup: Silly Keith and Sillier Nat.

2026-10-08 12:00 Wow, you guys have some in depth reasoning for Natani's costume..... While I'm just figuring out if Keith is dressed up as Clovis or a Templar. &gt;.&gt; Makes sense if it was Clovis though. o.o

Kat testing Halloween outfits on poor unsuspecting souls sketch pls

DarthKeidran

I love the TF2 videos. Also, you need to check out Piemations’ TF2 videos if you haven’t.

DarthKeidran

Pretty much what everyone above said. Correcting people tends to cause hostilities that, considering the message of tolerating others’ differences that Tom has tried to teach through the comic, don’t need to be present here, or frankly, anywhere.

Solus

He's not a zombie. Keith's worst fear is that Natani would die.

Solus

Obviously Clovis. Templars would have their sigil, and they tend to wear plain cloaks, as opposed to Clovis who wears a very extravagant red and gold cloak

Natani Wolf (Sykez Wolf)

I 100% agree with you DarthKeidran. For me personally correcting is a little annoying, but i just ignore it.

LupusK

My thoughts exactly. Poor Nat's worst fear is Clovis. Wonder if he's gonna be in the main comic at some point. :D

Alto135

Agreed, they’re hilarious.

SCD

Natani: Brains! Spleen! Pancreas... es! (Phineas and Ferb reference) Keith: [singing] I used to be a little boy. (Smashing Pumpkins reference)

Greg Perry

...an amusing possibility with this would have a rather capricious dragon give Keith the full Clovis treatment. ...well, while wearing the costume at least. Based on Natani's issues with her biological gender, she'd probably be able to have a few laughs at his expense.

DarthKeidran

He was. Last page of last chapter.

DarthKeidran

You know, after the Wolf terror attack on Edinmire.

The_Nitpick

Think it's just Gold. We've seen Trace pay for some stuff before, mostly to the effect of "holy crap, is this *real* Templar gold?!"

Tally Rush

I would perhaps understand more people having an issue with correcting if it weren't overtly stated but it's been overtly stated. Natani is male. The case is closed and if you use female pronouns or call him female you are wrong and should be corrected. Tolerating others' differences would include accepting Natani's gender more than accepting people who are stating his gender incorrectly so that's kind of a BS remark, DarthKeidran. Misgendering a trans person is pretty shitty and if you know/knew what it was like you'd know where the correction stuff is coming from I'd hope.

Toby T. Tobes

Ok so I made my first comments to support Tom and his work. I I'm a huge fan of his characters and his art style. ----- I didn't realize Natani's official gender was considered male but I checked the reference sheet and he is male. That's cool, nothing wrong with that, full support, my bad, and I'll make sure to be correct next time. That's it, nothing needed for discussion anymore. Let's leave the comments in support of Tom's work and not to fight anymore with this ok guys^^

Toby T. Tobes

Also, I'm not targeting anyone. I respect all of you guys, don't want anyone to be hurt, and wish you all the best!^^ Now let's enjoy the new sketch "Spooky Maeve" together as a family of fans!:D
