Issue 1007

A still silence filled the Great Hall of Meridell Castle, its unwelcome presence permeating the very stonework that lay at the Kingdom's heart. Ordinarily, the grand blue and red tapestries that hung along the two grey stone walls flanking King Skarl's Throne bore witness to the sort of hustle and bustle or political intrigue that was all too familiar for any vibrant royal court.

Reposting the comic reviews I put on the equivalent neoboard thread!

The Best Security- 

Cute timely joke with the new NCUC's! While everyone wants their pet to match their UC token, I like how they deliberately used them to deceive here lol

Darkest Corner darkelfa Azusa -

Beautiful art, I keep starting at the soft colored linework and graceful curves/shapes of everything! Funny little gag as well, can't go wrong with a good pun.

Taxing Time- 

He better get invited with that kind of tax! That's great how literal he took it and broke off part of the coin for payment haha

Life Improvised Kengplant - 

Good on the Tax Beast for being helpful in getting things filed at least! What a nightmare though if he was the only tax expert in Neopia though lol. I'm in love with the fact that we have multiple tax-themed comics this issue xD

Swapping Space for Land- 

Oh nooo, I'm assuming Sloth was not consulted on this exchange. Love his jaw-dropped expression xD And well, the Grundos deserve the break anyway, so good on them lol.

Poster Shenanigans- 

Very true, never tease anything plot or event related if you don't want the whole userbase speculating xD The chia's evil face in the third panel makes me laugh every time.

A Delicious Friendship- 

Some habits die hard alas. At least they both made the same mistake, maybe that makes it slightly less awkward? xD Also great how you referenced the April Fools' Day posters

Purrposterous- 

Lol, guess the Pant Devil has to get creative to keep things interesting with his "career." Funny to think that he steals not for his own gain, but just to sow more chaos in the world.

Smiling: Neopia's Best Medicine- 

Honestly can't be a coincidence that the April Fools' joke was about always smiling while the plot teasers are turning everyone grey. Chadley, do you know something that we don't >>

Chocolate Hair Perks- 

Cute art style! Would also be convenient if you could just spray hair on or eat it off, depending on what style you want xD

The Lupees-

From what I understand, that can actually be an intense game, so I understand his anguish xD And oh nooo, sorry to hear you went through a similar ordeal lol. Very cool art style, love Torr's face in that last panel haha.

Somewhat Presentable- 

Turns out he wasn't actually struck with a grey curse, his job and its implications just finally caught up to him xD

No Daily Limit-

Unfortunately, puns cannot solve all our problems. Their visual contrast really adds to the joke with the Gnorbu being a literal party toy.

Faerie Slumber Party-

That's honestly a very cute idea that Jhudora's green wing accent colors are from nail polish ;w; Also great how instantly invested Nuria is with dark faeries lol. An interesting group, I wonder how they became friends.

Poker Face-

Aw, poor little guy ;; Was half expecting the Pteri to hatch out of its egg in fear haha
