MODERATORS
Nitpick time: File this under "wrong usage of -eth when trying to sound medieval". That particular usage became "-es" in modern English, and if you make that replacement in this comic (cometh → comes), it's immediately clear that it's wrong. "Come onward" would have been just fine, but that, of course, looks far too modern.
I mean, you could read it as being deliberately demeaning or objectifying - she is being a hard taskmaster - but I don't think that was the intention here.
If she has permission - or dares take the initiative - to use the familiar form of address, she could try "Now, come thee onward!", keeping both that "th" that was wrong before, as well as the syllable count. Might still be a bit weird in context, but not grammatically.
Taskmistress** thank you very much 💅
What are your house parties like.
Wildeth
Bold of you to assume, etc.
She does say 'thee' in the other panel so familiarity is established.
Anyway, even without knowing the rule, you can sense something is wrong by saying it out loud. I don't know if there are examples of turns of phrase staying in use when they don't flow well in spoken language?
That'll be me fixating on the grammar of one panel and forgetting everything else then.
Verily I perpend that though mayest o’er-rauhot thine aversion to proclivity and hastily fornicate thyself with nigh but the expertly expedience of one so deserved of such an unpregnant act.

are armbands and knee bands to keep your joints from popping out of place when you're lifting heavy stuff?
No. They're support, rather than protection. For people with messed up knees, it keeps the knee from wandering away under the skin, or the muscles from moving wrong. The muscles do all the work, the bands just keep everything in it's right place.
So, yes?
I'm also leaning toward yes after hearing the answer, hahah
The difference is that you don't need them unless you have a bad joint.
No you said to prevent it from popping out of place, he is saying it's to stop from wandering. Huge difference.
Does wandering sometimes lead to popping out of place?
It may seem that way, but in reality they're both exactly the same.
It's like the difference between wandering over to your local coffee shop, vs. popping in.
The shape of a crown has never made more sense!
"My lord, we are having trouble breaching our enemy's wall."
"Very well, we shall to come to your aid"
Queen throws King at wall, problem solved.
... and Gold is 10% heavier than steel!
It's a lot heavier than that! The density of steel varies as there are different alloys, but most are in the range of 7.5-9 g/cm^3
Gold has a density that's more than double most steel alloys at 19.3 g/cm^3. Of course, that's assuming we're taking about pure gold, but still, gold is way more than 10% heavier than steel
But is a kg gold heavier than a kg feathers??
That will depend on the atmosphere.
Kettlebell thrown? Sweet.
Kettlebell ~~thrown~~ throne
FTFY. That one confused me for a bit as I couldn't find anyone throwing kettlebells in the comic, lol
outside of the art, this feels like it could be a perry bible
