He really needs a friend who can tolerate his insanity.

This page reminds me of songs I used to play on the piano by ear, but never wrote music for, and now have forgotten. Losing a song that way is terrible. Trying to remember a tune, but never getting it right, yet wishing you had it again, yeah. A sad moment for Mr. Troll

a very very sad moment indeed for him… one that will push him over the edge

The collector looks kinda sad… and the rhyme… this makes me kinda sad for his sake. It seems like without the song that he's heard so long, driving him, he's lost his strength and motivation so he's afraid that he's now alone in the dark hall. I imagine that he didn't feel alone even if he wasn't with someone else before, because the song was always with him. So this could be the first time he feels TOTALLY alone.
Poor collector. *sniff sniff* … of course, I could be completely wrong!

that's pretty deep- he is to a degree a tragic figure, driven by one thought only to have it taken from him.

you'll have to check out when bean first met the guardian to find that answer:)

Well, for Bean's sake, i really really hope he cut that rope. If not, he won't last very long. which would be sad, cuz that would mean the end of an amazing comic. 🙁 🙂

If you look back at the older pages, you'll see that the rope was broken when the rock gollem attacked.

I like him, even if he's bad I really hope he turns out to have some redeemability or at least goes after someone -worse-.
… I like the rhyming, so sue me!
Trav the bean » 27 Sep 2010 »

I have to wonder if this batty old thing will be shown as friend or foe…

I can't say enough good things about the atmospherics of your art. It's so immersive!

the young Hero find “the sword” and must proof himself against a huge Monster. Hmm.. with the last Page i hear the “Bossfight Theme” from Secret of Mana.
