2-20 The Hall of Portals
Friday, June 29th, 2007– Commentary –
J.D.: Wow. Lillith looks a lot like Marcus in panel 2.
Craig: She’s even got the tendril of hair in the middle of the face thing going on. Compare to panel 4 of 2-10.
J.D.: More Tim-loving over here. Just look at him in panel 3! He can obviously see that Lillith is in some duress, and he helps her. You know?
Craig: He is very kind. He helped Leon a few pages ago.
J.D.: And defended his choice to the Maintainer.
Craig: He did?
J.D.: Yes, when he started to explain why he brought Burger Star into Mythband.
Craig: Oh–right! I notice that the tavern got some lamp oil in overnight. 🙂
J.D.: And lanterns, yeah.
Craig: I hate it when the general store is out of a basic staple that I need. More than once I’ve descended into the dungeon without arrows or sometimes rations because the store didn’t happen to have any.
J.D.: Oh, Satisfy Hunger. How do I love thee?
Craig: In panel 3, we have moved into a different realm. We’ve seen that the Earth Realm is in shades of brown, and that Mythband is in shades of green. But this new realm is in shades of pink.
J.D.: Yep. Who do we know who is associated with the color pink? 😀
Craig: Tell me about the text that appears in the portal.
J.D.: Well, some of it what they’ve actually said in the panel, and some of it is kind of made up. It represents Internet dialogue, such as you would find in an IM conversation. So in a way, they’re on the other side of the screen preparing to have a conversation, or at least that’s why Lillith brought Leon there. He seems to have other ideas about it.
Craig: The symbol at the top of the portal was my invention. Since we often use smilies in IM conversations, I thought it would be fun to include a smiley as the symbol that represented the IM portal.
J.D.:Â That would… make that the Maintainer’s smiley, wouldn’t it?
Craig: Indeed it would.
J.D.: So why don’t you use it? 😀
Craig: Because. I. Am. Not. The. Maintainer.
J.D.: Much!
Craig: *unintellible grumbling*

I love Lilith. hrm…the way she is drawn that is…
We have seen Maintainer in his true form (or have we?). I wonder if we will see Lilith too. She clearly is not human, even that she looks that way. More like some sort of vampire demon. Force of Evil. Like Rex Caligo…. Which BTW explains why Rex and Lilith has same color associated with them.
In panel two there seems to be too many teeth in her mouth…

I thought that :E means that you have to press :E in Mythband to use that portal.
