  1. And HER fingers do thusly. His imagination may need to be a little more specific.

    1. Was thinking the same thing!

  2. He’s become Don Juan De Casanova?

  3. The Phantom Belcher

    This cannot end well. But it will have a lot of boobies and hot sex before it does, so that’s good for us! 🙂

  4. … and, slowly but surely, our likeable guard becomes the biggest douche in the land.
    Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    I really hope that the potion works in reverse too (others’ affect him similarly) and the girl’s desires transform him into a dildo. Permanently.

    1. Wait, he was likable? This is the same guy who slept with Patience when she threw herself at him, remember? Like a lot of frat boys (which is what he is, really), he won’t question a good thing when it’s handed to him… At least not immediately.

      –Jaycee

      (P.S.: to the frat boys reading this, please forgive my use of the stereotype. I know you’re not all like that.)

      1. At the risk of being labeled a douchbag, as well, I’ve going to admit having trouble understanding this negative attitude about the guard’s initial behavior. An attractive (single) woman throws herself at him (single) and he’s a cad for accepting her advances? Perhaps in this world, magic is as common as alcohol, but is he supposed to ASSUME that she was “under the influence” of magic just because she was so fast & eager? Ever since that incident, he’s been beat up or raped every time we see him. Besides, he’s no worse than virtually every other character (excepting the maid) for taking advantage of other people. I’m see him more as a victim, personally.

        1. I mean, ..until this last panel. ^_^

        2. Agree; initially he was just ‘going with the flow’ of a (as far as he knew) willing hot female guard (one he had been flirting with hitting on for awhile), but now? Now he’s coming across as a dirty rapist

        3. Well, I’ve *almost* forgiven ‘Tool’ for be a harassing pig towards his fellow guard WHILST ON DUTY *before*any*of*the*magical*hijinks*occurred*. “stop trying to measure my breastplate!”

          ‘far as I’m concerned, he’s not BECOMING a douche. 😉

          He was shown to be a lecherous jerk before he ever was given any actual character; we became sympathetic towards ‘Tool’ for the (just) misfortune he’d undergone.

          This? This is just the pendulum changing direction as it swings…again. Of course, it’s not gonna be long before it AGAIN changes direction, is it? >:)

      2. Yes, he was likeable. Clueless, but still likeable.

        His role was purely passive, he reacted to circumstances in simple and predictable ways.

        He accepted Patience’s advances because he thought that it is what she wanted at the moment, there was no coercion on his part. Later, with Nadia in the picture, he was also following the lead of the women. Yet again, he was just a tool to them but he accepted his role and did not try to take control.

        But now… I have lost all sympathy (not to mention any respect that I had) for this dickhead. Off with his dick!

        1. Well, he was a bit of a jerk when Patience “woke up” and was going, “Wait, what’s going on here?” He’d been atoning for that, though…

    2. What do you mean, slowly? More like ‘first chance he gets a whiff of a chance for sex’.

  5. Oh my, he does seem to catch on pretty quick, and here I thought he was supposed to be a bit .. slow.

    1. We men are ALL much faster when it comes to sex. Even the slow ones. It’s pretty simple, really:

      – Oh, sexy girl in sight.
      – Me get aroused at the sight of her. *grunt*
      – Me would wish her to be aroused at the sight of me *sigh*
      – Oh, look, girl is very aroused near me.
      – Could she be aroused with me?
      – Oh, yes she can!
      – Let’s get it on

      It’s all pretty simple, really, and we men are hardwired to think this way. Even the dumb/slow ones. 🙂

      –Jaycee

      1. Some of us have respect for other people, beautiful women included.

      2. It doesn’t help that the prospect of sex makes people even dumber…

        I agree with Lurker, though; some of us do have respect. Some of us can power past the hardwired response.

        1. You can ?

          Dammit, that’s gonna make things harder.

        2. Stay good, lady. Don’t be evil.

        3. “Now you see, Lone Starr, that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.”
          (Dark Helmet, Spaceballs)

          Y’know, just quotin’… 😉

          –Jaycee

        4. The fact that ‘lord’ Helmet is on evil’s payroll puts the lie to that claim. :p

        5. True that. 🙂

          –Jaycee

        6. I’m not Good, I’m not Evil .. I’m naughty !

          … and I have matching luggage for you to carry. 🙂

        7. Uh huh. And what kind of compensation are we looking at for the carrying of said ‘luggage’?

        8. Compensation ?

          I’m sorry, I don’t speak that language.

        9. I think he’s asking what sexual favors he must perform for the honor of carrying your luggage. 🙂

          –Jaycee

        10. Um. … No. ^^*

      3. Jaycee, please continue to be true to your characters. I hope he gives her a dozen sky-splitting orgasms, and in the morning when the lawyers and puritans knock on her door to commiserate over her “rape”, she throws the chamber pot at them and sets about her chores wearing nothing but his boots and a big smile.

        1. Ah, but if they do make a case of rape against the poor man, maybe some evidence will be needed .. in the court .. with repeated demonstrations in court. 😀

        2. Oh, what a NAUGHTY idea… >:-)

          –Jaycee

        3. “You stand accused of rape and presumed guilty (naturally), so unless you want to be the 439th man we execute for rape this year, you’ll have to prove your contention that she must have given you consent because no woman can refuse you. Bailiff, summon Baby the Orc, Griglinde Grossenbusen the Lion Tamer, Kalani the ninth-rank Courtesan/Assassin, Unattainia the Mother Superior of the Order of Our Lady of Frosty Reserve, and that Gold Gyno-Golem we brought back from the ruined citadel of the mad arch-mage!”

          “Couldn’t you just execute me?”

          “No.”

        4. LOL. There are a few gems in there.

          –Jaycee

        5. You’re more than welcome to use them. (And I’d be happy to share my thoughts on character design, but then what do I know about cartooning?)

  6. Oh, YES! My soul for that recipe!

  7. I’m a’ be honest here – there are way too many storylines going on in this comic at once. I have to look back through loads of comics every week to try and figure out what’s going on.

    1. It also the once a week thing, that sometimes slip you up also.

      1. I think the once a week thing is more the issue. Sometimes it can be a month or more before we get back to a character. But we’d lose some quality (I guess?) if it updated faster. Bloomin faries is one of several comics I read that only updates once a week, and they all suffer this to one degree or another. But I still love this comic.

    2. I may try a slightly different formula in the next few months, with mini-arcs focusing on certain characters (or groups of characters) for a few consecutive weeks at a time… That might help a bit. It’s going to take some time to happen, though, considering that I’ve got a small buffer of strips that are already made and in the works. But I appreciate the feedback and taking good note of it.

      –Jaycee

      1. For me at least, I just hate the once a week, cause it such a fun read, but I more or less easily remember the stories, but that just how I am 😀

  8. This red head is the hottest character so far.

    1. So, am I the only one who feels sorry for her when they see her expression in the third panel? That doesn’t look so much like ‘crazed with lust’ as ‘terrified and doing whatever is necessary to get past what the heck this is as soon as possible’.

      1. Just looks like embarrassment to me.

    2. I disagree, in my opinion Baby is the hottest but she is definitely my favorite runner up thus far even passing Sexy Marie.

      1. Y’know what? I think it’s time to have a new poll to see who people think is the sexiest BF chick.

        –Jaycee

        1. You’ll have to reveal Ms. Ginger’s real name, then.

  9. … =_= Patience should have kicked him in the groin instead of busting his arm.

  10. Panel 3…
    Is she a mind reader?

    1. No, it’s simply what he imagines/thinks, happens

    2. he was fed the glamour potion by albert. according to a vampire comic i came across a few days ago that’s how vampiric mind control is called, too.

      guess what he’s doing.

      1. Yeah, he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s doing this against her will. To him, he just wants her to want him and she does. He really isn’t all that bright, it may take a while before he realizes that he’s basically raping her.

        1. Knowing this guard’s luck he’ll realize it and try to stop but the maid will be too horny and end up raping him instead.

        2. Agreed. 😛

  11. methinks one should wait to see how she is left after the fact before making judgments. beyond the last panel, alll he’s really done is skip the foreplay. 🙂
    He’s creating a need he’ll be wanted to fill. and, again barring the last panel, which is quite innocent, really, he has yet to ‘instruct’ her to be specifically aroused about -him-. If she manages to tell him to stay away under the current conditions, his reaction will be a clear answer. beyond that, I await the next step of this dance.
