Give the guy a break! If he can’t tell the difference between a little girl and a dog in a dress (p.12), don’t act all surprised when he can’t distinguish between genders of a species other than his own!

You know, I’m starting to think that he’s not stupid, he just needs eyeglasses.
I’m starting to think that he doesn’t want to be replaced and so finds all sorts of unsuitable people to bring, hoping that eventually she will give up.
NoneCallMeTim calls it again! Curse you and your ability to dissect my narrative structure 😉
I wonder if eyeglasses would cure my stupidity? I’m making an appointment with an eye doctor right away!
I guess in this lighting everyone has the same skintone… actually there wasn’t much variance to begin with, given that every character so far is upper-class European/English… and that weird turtle thing…
What color do you suppose Mr. Dult would be in daylight?
I had assumed some kind of greyish brown, but then he wouldn’t look much different in the dark than in the light…
Uh oh.. Is that Mrs. Wollstone? Oh, no!
Don’t fret. Mrs. Wollstone (Charlotte & Alice’s mother) is safe and sound in Farthingshire 🙂
Actually, he should be very proud. Being a paragon is no small achievement. Most people work all their lives to become a paragon of their art, unique skill, or speciality and he’s achieved it! Bunglers, incompetents, and screw-ups will model themselves after him for centuries to come. Congratulations, Mr. Dult!
I consider Ed8 (along with his various aliases) to be a paragon of Unearth commenters.
P.S. He paid me to write that 😉
Well worth every penny!

First kickstarter to overfund by 100,000%! After all, Twitster and Farcebook have already made billions off of people desperately pleading for attention. It’s a sure thing.
I know that feeling. You’ve been kidnapped, you get a chance to make a run for it…. then one of your kidnappers says something so stupid you simply HAVE to stop and correct it for them.
Yeah, I hate it when that happens to me too.
“I’m also not a female”
Wait. Any one of the three of them could be saying that. Which one is it? 🙂
… You’re going to milk this gag for all it’s worth, aren’t you?
Prepare to see a dead horse beaten 😉
Not literally, I hope. 😛
(Given the circumstances, that’s not so far-fetched.)
Don’t start giving me ideas. Seriously. You’ve already got me thinking of how to work a dead horse into the plot.
