Ivory, Cookies, and Comments
On occasion, a comment or commentor goes above and beyond, deserving higher praise than mere inclusion in the ranks of the Top Comments.
On Thursday, Ivory Bill became the latest commentor to get the Internet equivalent of a standing ovation from the Blind Ferret staff when he posted the following:
Ivory Bill
This is nothing new. This comic has always been full of satyr.
Will immediately made it a featured comment, the first featured comment from a non-staff member in recent memory, possibly ever. He followed it up with this:
Ivory Bill
What can I say, I have a lot of faun with this.
That second comment may not have had the 60+ upvotes of the first, but it’s still so, so good. I was going to make a joke that you need to give the rest of us a chance to be funny, but:
- That’s tall poppy syndrome (not “sunflowering” as I thought but found out had a very different definition);
- It’s just not true. There’s plenty of funny for the rest of us, since, for the second week in a row, I’ve couldnt’ narrow comments down to the usual 3 comments per page.
Ivory Bill, you and many of your top comment regulars are the high tide floating our comment boats. If this trend continues, I may have to bump it up to 4-5 top comments on each page.
On an unrelated note, Lar! Remember Lar? He’s back! In cookie form. You can be too!
Lar is raising money again in his neverending fight against Multiple Sclerosis. His latest tactic? Cookies. If you use this link and donate $20 to the MS Society, then forward your donation confirmation to [email protected] by December 7th, Lar will send you a gingerbread cookie avatar in your likeness. Donate $40 and he’ll send you a Christmas cookie avatar. See below for more details.
As they say around my house, after the cookies come the comments. Here are the top comments for November 28th to December 2nd!

Benny would be wonderful at CinemaSins.

What he means is “I like sex so if the lady wants the heads of our comrades in a well labeled “Traitors” then my only question is “How deep do you want that well”.”

This isn’t going to turn into a freaky sex comic now is it? Because if it is I’m going to need to update my bookmark.

Prediction: Benny challenges Uncle Rayd for the right to lead the Bloodrage, and her true paternal lineage is revealed: she is daughter by blood to Krunch, not just through adoption. Hemming and hawing over her being an elf/taur mongrel is shut up by “So? Rayd’s humping a she-elf too. What’s your point?”
EDIT: Postscript second prediction: Leena’s daughter mentioned in 1030 is fathered by Ray’d, which would further strengthn her “So?” argoment.

If I held the legal and political authority to create a new word that could express the infinite, matchless and immortal hatred I have for you in this very instant, the word would be a verb called “infinabominabhoraloathe” and its definition would be “to abominate, abhor and loathe someone or something in a manner infinite, matchless and immortal” and its past tense “infinabominabhoraloathed”.

You know what you should do, Bush? Invade desert country on the other side of the world under false pretenses.

Now see, this is where Richard is more effective than the Knights of Ni. He doesn’t ask people to bring him a shrubbery; he goes and fetches it himself.

I saw the pile of rocks to Richard’s left as dugtrio and can’t unsee it
