Really, who wants to be in charge? It always means a lot of boring busywork, and it invariably means bad things happen and you get blamed for them. (Hm, maybe this just means that I personally should never be allowed to be in charge of anything.)<br><br>Locke's disappointment, then, is my own. And Llewellyn, who sometimes seems not to be that aware of what's really going on, at times like this demonstrates that he actually knows what everyone else is going to do before they do it. His understanding and confidence allow him to nonchalantly water the bushes in an apron (I'm not sure why an apron) while Locke falls on his own sword. I know that's not exactly the right metaphor, but the right metaphor would probably involve a septic tank, and therefore be really gross.<br></i><br><br>This one's great <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Locke in the last panel is great.

[Zylo]

The last panel is perfect. I guess 10-year-old pirate captains aren't too well educated, since he can barely spell. It's not like he can go to school.

It's better to be the servant than the boss.

[Henohenomoheji]

if Llewellyn knows what people are going to do before they do it, does that mean he's psychic?

[simon]

No, people are just predictible. Being the observant type, I'm a bit like Llewellyn in that sense myself sometimes.

[NHJ BV]

Especially considering Lewellyn's age, ofcourse.

[Elscire]

Well of course =)<br><br>I would love to live as long as dragons do, aside from the fact of having to outlive all your family and friends, heh.

[Miles E Traysandor]

Small problem: If your family was dragons, they'd live just as long as you would.

[Sabre]

Locke is always great.

[Henohenomoheji]

oscar wilde should have said this:<br><br>the worst thing about being young is outliving your family<br>the worst thing about being old is your family outliving you.<br><br>can't live with them can't live without. i know that last phrase was for something different but i don't know what, theres just so many things that you can't live with or without.<br><br>but we're alive, arent we?<br><br>maybe that is why we die?<br><br>i'm on the wrong thread arent I? i feel fillosawlical write know.

[Doctor Fred]

It's such a superb display of Llewellyn's and Locke's personalities. A classic.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

If you think about everything life is gonna give you it's kinda scary.<br>I don't really wanna live that long.

[Muninn]

IMMORTALITY, n.<br>A toy which people cry for,<br>And on their knees apply for,<br>Dispute, contend and lie for,<br>And if allowed<br>Would be right proud<br>Eternally to die for.<br> -- Ambrose Bierce (The Devil's Dictionary)<br><br>In case people suspect something The Devil's Dictionary is a great dictionary with satiric and cynical explanations for words sometimes in poem format. Not a book about satanism.<br><br>I know the issue here is living for a long time but this seemed appropiate to put here.

[Burning Sheep Productions]

I don't really understand why you'd want to live so long, sure you'd get to see so much technology and stuff and you'd have so many stories to tell but you'd also have the downside that makes you wanna kill yourself.
