Haven't seen Zach in a while! Can't tell what's Kari is doing (is he making a Snow Gargoyle?). So Pete's codename is Cookie Monster :lol: Have to say that is oddly fitting of him!

we actually saw him 2 strips ago, but I guess you mean in an actual arc.

Actually he really shouldn't do this or Jess will come up with even worse methods of aversion training against being seen as a prophet.

Teasing frozen gargoyles is just stone cold, Kari.
Indeed. He's brave when they can't move.

The Gargoyles have regressed to bitter stone
and the Keenest of Ferrets is making plots
as Kari really can't be left on his own
and it's only our Zach, picking out spots.
The game is over but the pieces remain,
fully affixed to the great game board.
To a Ferrets eyes it would be a shame
not to try to take the Gryphon's horde..
It's best you don't go alone, Zach.
It's best you get someone to cover your back.
Take Jess; you know she'd want to go
and she'd meet any monster, blow to blow.

Hurray more demigod stuff. If only Cookie Monster could be here to see it. I wonder where if dragon had a temple and if so where could it have been.

Oh and nice modern sonnet there Welsh.

Kari's just holding something red, you can see the brown of his paws on either side

Dragon's temple was in the desert where both temples were at the start of the game, as shown here (well I guess it's on a mountain near the desert)

I think that's a beanbag he's holding, which proves that gargoyles like playing Cornhole.
Maybe Keene has gotten Zach a little holy staff to go with his job which will be misinterpreted by the forest critters? :lol:

I think someone should warn the gargoyles about Karishad. That one looks too trusting by half.

If anything, maybe if nothing happens it'll get Jessica and the other woodlanders off his back. Or cause Jessica to hound him more for being a "false prophet." And yeah, it sucks getting really dressed up for something you don't entirely want to do.

Also, "Jehovah in Latin"? I'm rather off on my studies, but isn't Jehovah already in Latin?

It's actually an Anglicised variant of a Hebrew word that is supposed to never be fully spelled let alone spoken. According to Wikipedia: ""Jehovah" was popularized in the English-speaking world by William Tyndale and other pioneer English Protestant translators, but is no longer used in mainstream English translations, with Lord or LORD used instead, generally indicating that the corresponding Hebrew is Yahweh or YHWH."

Decided to look up the Tetragrammaton in light of this information, thanks! I really need to get back on my history.

Back on topic, I'm trying to figure out how Pete came to be called "Cookie Monster." We need theories, guys!

Maybe an ancient recipe was found?

I wonder if the woodland creatures are still stealing Zachs diary as holy literature.
Zach looks like he is ready to obliterate that phone with pure rage.
Opener of ways for the win!!!

Can't wait to see who else will join Zach, aside from Keene and Jess :mrgreen:

YES! ZACH ARC!

You know, I am weird. It is sometimes what I come up with in my mind that makes me like a character. I have found a love for Zach during the Halloween arc. Me shipping him and Jessica made me see that I love him as a character, and see that I like his arcs. I have a new character I like.
"You know, I am weird." WELL NO DUH! THEY KNOW THAT! That would be why I said, you know...

Now for a question, anyone have a Zach fan forum banner I could use, or a place I could make one? I really want one for under that Bino fan banner.

Well, we all know his first encounter with those stone beasts didn't go so well. Better pick up that pen Zach, because here's something else you can add to your "I'm-gonna-regret-this" list.

Also, a scarf hanger! That's so cute! :D

Karishad: "You want the ball? You want the ball Gargy?"
Gargoyle: *roars*
Karishad: "Who's a good Gargoyle?"

The Tetragrammaton is the 'four-letter-word' or shem that Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel used to bring the Golem of Prague to life. Mmm! That piece of halibut was good enough for... well, moving on...

'S'true enough. Now, how about one for Spirit Dragon? Let's move from Sesame Street to Stratford-on-Avon and ask the Bard:

Thanks, Willie. And no, I'm not suggesting The Moor of Venice for the next Imaginate! production, but if it works out that way, you heard it here first...

So, did Rocky ever tell Keene the full outcome of the game? He sounds like he thinks that Pete just disappeared on him.

Also, does this mean he's rounding up the old team again (minus Sabrina)? Hope that Other Daryl gets in on the action next...

Deal with that, Zach, it has to follow you for long... Temple = Zach. :| Huh, Keene, any kind of word spelling is hard, don't you know? :P You cause a problem, and the others have to repair it... Eheh, move on now, Zach, a money compensation is waiting you. :P We'll see what will happen between Zach and the "cookie monster". ;)
You have to dress? You call a scarf, a dress? :P Tiger and Marvin have one, too. Uhm, that lime green scarf isn't new to me (a revenge over Jessica's last time joke?)... ;)
