He looks so young and happy in that second-to-last panel...

Actually, I was going to add that as well- that it does help Sangwine out as he will no longer have to make an impossible choice.
BUT. At the end of the day he's probably going to mourn for her longer this way- as they didn't get to have a life together- than if she died of old age, whether they were together or apart. So it's no blessing in disguise for him, really, is it?

That's the reason I hope she *isn't* dead, though... I was curious to know how how they would work out the problem of their relationship, and to just have one or the other die seems too easy.

You know, Sangwine always reminded me somewhat of Guybrush, from Monkey Island. It's even worse (in a good way!) in that second to last panel, with his huge grin. He's in for a bad surprise, I'm afraid. :x

Very true, but not only that but Bactine + Sang couldn't really work out. Prince elf can't marry any human. It just couldn't work out. She needed to leave somehow.

I still assume she isn't dead or something.

This is pretty much my take on it. Comics where everyone we like always lives may be more cheerful, but they don't have the same depth, at least not to me. Bactine's death is (would be, if she's not really dead) a tragedy, but a good one.

Nooo!!!! She can't die!!
Sang is gonna go on some marvelous quest to bring her back to life or something- right???

This is going to sound odd, but I love comics where not ALL the good guys survive. In war there are many casualties, and actually letting a character we love die is showing a level of realism which is rare.

I am, of course, saddened by Bactine's death, but given how we last saw her I am unsurprised, and therefore not half as strongly affected as most other commenters.

We will see where it goes from here.

That happened after she healed Zedwig. From the strain, I guess.

"She will give everything up in sacriface, but in the end, she'll have nothing." right ?
Now, what does nothing mean ? Nothing of what ? I'd like to believe that it a good omen, but then I remeber than between two people of different lifespans, love rarely ends well. It's hard to imagine her growing into a old hag while dashing wealthy Sang goes on with life, and with the more powerful mage gone Colby kwos were, it's hard to imagine how they can sort that problem.
Yet, whatever you choose, I think it will be ok, you will makes it so.

Well, obviously, Sangwine has to tell the truth as king with t he Pendant...

The bit about Sangwine's father is promising--the only thing he can do with his blood is to bring back to life the family tree of the Schoeffl line (last name??) and that means Bactine...

And there was that bit about kings, unicorns, and fairies, which is hopeful in Bactine's case since we remembered what Hope did to save Sangwine in Pixie Pass...

Yay for magic! And great, great work on the art, Colby!

No... I think Bactine dies like in Chinese Paladin.

Phenoca — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:54:26 -0000

Haha - the bottom-left strip is great. Reminds me of... Chinese Paladin episode 34. Except with less blood of course.

Hm...how very interesting. I has been a while since I've tried to theorize on anything, so let me try it sans my typical tl;dr fashion.
