    That does nothing to create favour.

    Edcrab is almost Scottish, geographically.

    hey my ancestors back in the old country were as well

    then again, being lancastrian catholics, they were on the losing side of

    well

    pretty much every war fought in england after 1350 or so

    plus the social fallout after the "gunpowder treason"

    which, i suppose, is why i was born in the united states of goddamn america

    it's still about comics because of the gunpowder treason

    remember remember the fifths of novembers

    and burn some poor sod who got caught with the embers


    in other words ed is good people and i will stick your head on my spear adorned with wolf-tails if you say otherwise

    I almost appreciate the sentiment Horseshoe but now I can't help feeling that I need to get Liiya to some sort of... Scot-free safehouse until the barbarian hordes give up the hunt

    I'm only a little bit Scottish in the first place! Drop the damn swords and go home

    hm

    maybe Hadrian's Wall was actually built to keep my people in

    then again i think Cutwolfe was executed if it's any consolation

    I promise that I will not repeat that mistake.

    Perhaps I should prepare to make reparations for all the things that my ancestors in the 10th century did to civilized people who offered them tea and biscuits.

    That would be a lovely idea.

    wait

    ed did we have this conversation before?

    something like you wrote a paper that referenced this same dude

    Cutwolfe / Cudwulfus / Cudwolf

    or something along those lines

    (there's some weird spelling in my genealogy)

    anyway he was the most effed up dude in my line

    before they became proper landed gentry

    to bring it back to comics I picture him being something like Slaine but with a pointy stick instead of an axe

    We did! In fact I believe I pledged to dig up what I wrote on him but I never did find it

    To be fair I highly doubt I found any information you weren't already aware of but it still pissed me off

    actually the story about him cutting off a dude's hand because he touched Cutwolfe's wife with it was one i hadn't heard before

    but it's pretty consistent with what i know about him

    As a probably apocryphal tale goes, a young man drew a sword on him during an argument

    Cutwolfe smashed him in the side of the head with the hilt of his own blade rather than just gutting him

    Said the kid wasn’t to be killed, that his wits were to be allowed to grow back of their own accord, what with Cutwolfe having just pruned the badness out of them

    My granddad was a Rolling Stock Inspector for British Rail and when he saw that film version with me he pointed out that the train would've taken much longer to stop than it did and would've crushed that girl!

    ...thanks, granddad!

    YaYa that is pretty cool actually. If I ever make my way to Sand Diego for comic-con we gotta chill.

    Liya and Ed. I just checked National Rail and to get up north would cost me between 48-105 pounds. I'd pay 48 but 105 is actually mad.
