Zandar's Saga 76
This guy is truly horrible.
It's weird that this church uses the same holy symbol as the Mephitist church. Fuma would certainly never condone such behavior from one of her priests!

Here comes trouble.
Lazlo mentioned in the confessional that his uncle was the Cardinal, which is how he was able to get Zandar into the convent.

HE FELL FOR IT!
This is how I might have to handle sex scenes in the new pages now that the Saga is on Patreon.
Next page will have to be skipped. It shows Zandar learning to read, and paying for her lessons. Lazlo says the nuns will allow Zandar to walk in the quad only if she takes vows, which he obviously does not want her to do yet.
Oh my goodness, do you really think he is going to fall for this mountain of BS??
The reference to a hole in the wall in panel 5 is to the encounter in the confessional, which I skipped for this recap. It is implied that Lazlo had a standing arrangement with the Guild for this service.

Here we are in the convent. Looks like the churchmen bought Zandar's preposterous story - well, at least some of them did.

Oooh, Zandar, you dirty liar.
Yes, that's the Lazlo who took Zandar's "confession."
Brother Philip truly has a cleric's priorities.

The two skipped pages in the confessional involved Zandar asking Father Lazlo for protection from the Prostitutes' Guild. She claimed that with the Guildmistress dead, this was the perfect opportunity for her to get away and join a convent. She did a .. "special favor" for Lazlo in the confession booth, to convince him of her sincerity.
Behold my attempts to draw a medieval city.

Dang it, there was some real dramatic stuff on those pages .. but there was also full frontal nudity, and I want this recap to be public.
Years went by. Wulfrida got old, but Zandar remained the same. Zandar could use bodymagic to temporarily revitalize Wulfrida, but she could not reverse time, and eventually her partner died. The Guildmistress was very callous (but practical) ...

We already know from the prelude that Zandar does not obey this commandment.

Well, that was a bigger gap than I expected. All of those pages had something, of varying degrees of strength, and I don't want to put any of this recap in the Patrons-only feed...
SO, what did we miss? Zandar and Wulfrida bond & fall in love. The Guildmistress calls upon Zandar to lie with a strange alien being, a member of a star-race which must lose their virginity to an...

You can probably guess that the Rite of Partnership involves lesbian sex, so we will be skipping some pages...
Readers at the time this first came out noticed that Wulfrida looks like Springfield from the first story. Actually, since this is supposed to have happened earlier, it would be more accurate to say that Springfield looks like Wulfrida. It might be important.
This spider character appeared later (in story chronology, earlier than her appearance here) in the Ballad of Adler Young.
The Ballad is at http://adleryoung.tumblr.com if you're not familiar with it.

Dig that crazy Zip-a-Tone!
Actually it was done with a Photoshop filter. I don't think Zip-a-Tone has been made since the early 1990s. This reminds me that I haven't described my creation process.
I draw these pages on paper (often the back of random scrap sheets, which I impulsively collect) with a blue pencil, then ink them, letter them by hand & scan them. I do mos...

In the pages we skipped, the Ladybird reminds Zandar to seek the land of the Keltoi. On her way, she learns that she can trade sex for things she needs.

Panel 2: Where are you? (or if you're German, Who are you?)
The Ladybird's importance has been overlooked both in Zandar's Saga and in the Ballad of Adler Young. Keep your eye on this character and her innumerable sisters.
Panel two: You unlucky (one)!
Panel three: Why did they do that?
Panel seven: Who speaks?

Okay, we've had to skip over some sexy stuff. What's missing is, basically, Zandar wanders in the forest for an unspecified length of time, during which her body .. changes ..
She stumbles upon a shepherd who apparently speaks Italian, but understands the Universal Language - of Venery! They have sex; the shepherd brushes Zandar's fur and brings her food & clothing. More se...

Gross. Rest assured, I didn't even show the next scene in the original, so you're doubly safe from seeing it here.

Translation of that pidgin Old English:
Panel 2 - What are you saying?
Panel 3 - Eala! (You'll see this word a lot in the story. It's a meaningless exclamation, like "wow!" or "Golly!")
Panel 4 - I am a doppelganger? (a twin? a changeling?)
Panel 5 - What happened to the other skunk-child?
I must confess I'm a little mystified as to who exactly the Old Crow is talking about when he refers to his "master." Presumably that would be High King Adler I "the Prudent" .. but why would elves concern themselves with the doings of some petty lowfolk lord?

That string of numbers next to my signature in the first panel .. that's my wacky Metric Date notation. People have asked, and I have explained, so FOR THE RECORD, here's how it works: The year is divided up into 100 units of 3.65 days each. I came up with a formula to convert from calendar time to metric time because a standard day has 1440 minutes and a metric unit has 5256 min...
