A classic……………….

Rob from the rich and give to the poor! Is Shi-Shi more chic than Starbucks?

There’s probably some deep symbolism in Shi-Shi - I’m just too lazy to try to find it…

What holiday is it then? And what is shi-shi?

From Urban Dictionary: shi shi AKA Sheik, classy overpriced and contemporary.

From Mythology: Shishi (or Jishi) is translated as “lion” but it can also refer to a deer or dog with magical properties and the power to repel evil spirits.

In this particular strip’s case, it’s the first one.

What a lovely forest mall. So cool.

If Boody is the last dragon, what are these? I’ve not seen these characters before

This is a completely different strip! A pity we never got to se where it led….

Kerovan: That’s why I wrote all that boring drivel at the top.

Justin - it could also be chi chi, as in Chic. I like yours better!

It may be ancient, but it’s still pretty cool!

What would you call that character? The Dragon of Nottingham? Cyrano de Dragonac?

How about the Sheriff of Dragonham? One of the Three Dragoons? (But which one: Arthos, Porthos, or Aramis–or even perhaps D’Ragnon?

In Japanese Shi = 4. It also means death

Four-Four Coffee? Death-Death Coffee? Four-Death Coffee?

Yeah. Four-Death Coffee. Kinda like my CocoMocha, or Doctor Toon’s Nuclear Coffee.

But be careful, though. If you make it too strong, it’ll start pouring you.

(one of its known Granted Super Powers is the ability to turn its drinker into a shapeshifter)

I prefer Ishmael coffee, myself.
