English onomatopoeia is almost an art form in and of itself -- one I'm not very good at.
I don't think a rake has ever looked this menacing!
Awesome work. Your painting skills are top notch!
When you know how inoffensive he actually is all this effort and precautionary measures seem a bit pathetic. Cool, but situationally pathetic.
Objectively, it's true! XD The false alarm is going off because:
1. The average height for an adult man is around 5' 6". The tallest man they'd ever seen is probably around 5' 11" max, maybe less. Ethan is 6' 5".
2. They'd never seen a white person until now (one arguable exception being a completely non-threatening little girl, whom we will meet later).
3. The average person in this region stays within a "3 days on foot" distance of their village for their entire lifetime, never venturing farther out. It's very rare to see people from outside of their village, unless they're merchants or something. Meaning it's very rare to see people you don't know, since everyone knows everyone.
Quite true. I imagine it would be the same as dropping Jeremy Lin into a medieval European village. Minus the magic.
I actually had to redraw the last panel from scratch because it was... a tad too reminiscent of tentacle pr0n. >_____>
