    Awww… they look so sweet in the first panel, I bet Larisa was watching them, then called them before it went to far :D . I guess it was a good thing that Larisa’s pills fell down the drain. She actually found the Holy Grail 8O???

    Does this mean Larisa is the next king (queen?) of England?

    That would need to be Excalibur not the Grail. The Grail grants eternal life if you stay in the hole with it. Or so they said in Indiana Jones.

    I thought the rule was that the grail could not leave the temple, not that you could not leave the temple.

    But if you aren’t around the grail that can’t leave the temple, the effect never occurred an all the time that you didn’t age comes back… or at least that’s how I remember it

    “Yeah, that one too…” lawl XD’
    I like this kind of humor :P

    Also:
    Even though that’s not an Anime, one of the core-rules seems to apply:
    “As long as the story isn’t reaching it’s end or some kind of twist,
    romantic scenes are ALWAYS disturbed for some reason!”
    XD
    (I once made a list of those rules ^^ In german of course…)

    I wonder what’s for dinner
    errr, I mean…
    I wonder what’s in this backpack…
    Maybe the money??? O_O’

    Oh, I just realized:

    Sandra: “Cloud.”
    Cloud: “Sandra.”
    Larisa: “CLOUD! SANDRA!” [...]

    I find that somehow funny too XD’

    So, Larisa goes through all that trouble to prod Sandra along, then interrupts when something’s finally about to happen?

    Actually, yeah. I guess that pretty much does sound like her.

    It is absurd that Larrisa would use the truth to break up dramatic moments. Where are the nuclear missiles or they giant bear guardian?

    What? It’s not a Geocache that’s been sitting untouched since the days of DOS 5.0? Or maybe a Letterbox that hasn’t been touched since the mill shut down? :)

    Maybe this is just my twisted sense of humor, but does anyone else think that Sandra was just waiting for a “romantic moment” so she could interrupt it?

    Clypheed-That can’t be true because Henry Jones Senior drinks from it to heal his mortal wounds and he leaves the temple in good health IIRC.

    I think the thing she is holding in her hand is the pills that were dropped. (this comment is to mystery penguin)

    Nah, the pillbox was darker and more circular.

    So what if you’re confined to the temple? Just jack it up and set the thing down on a big set of treads (like the shuttle crawler: http://images.dieselpowermag.com/news/0705dp_03_z+nasa_diesel_shuttle_crawler+test_base_aeiral.jpg). Install a big wooden ship’s wheel to steer with. Presto: Mobile temple of immortality.

    Speaking of immortality, that’s what her medicine is for: She’s actually several centuries old and relies on pills created from minerals found in a Siberian lake to freeze her age. That’s also why she calls her mother by her first name: not only isn’t she her real mother, but she’s technically younger than Sandra is.

    Her age-freezing pills are why she isn’t very impressed with the Holy Grail.

    yo, maark30, i just thought i’d clarify excalibur does NOT make you king of england. that was the sword in the stone. excalibur was the sword arthur got from the lady in the water. and now that i’m done bein an @$$,

    GO LARISA!!!

    One becomes King of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland by being the rightful heir at the time of the reigning monarch’s decease. This is certified with a full coronation, preferably at Westminster Abbey.

    But to clarify even more, the sword in the stone is the same excalibur as from the lady in the lake. She gave Arthurs father the sword. he jamed it into a stone and Arthur retreived it. Of course that is depending on which storyline you are folowing on the idea.

    Sorry thought it was my turn to be an @$$. ;-p

    WAITaminute! I thought that was a flashlight at first, but she’s holding a flashlight in her other hand! It really is a shiny metal goblet with possible religious significance/supernatural abilities!

    Though Larisa’s line in panel 2 would be better informalized as: “You gotta check this out!”

    Good idea, changed it. If you have other suggestions for older strips I’m always willing to consider them.

    @vanessa: I’m sure they’ll need Woo to get at the thing Larisa found.

    @Crystal: No, she’s holding it wrong. It really is some kind of goblet or chalice.

    @maark30: The sword in the stone is *NOT* Excalibur. The sword in the stone was the sword of Uther Pendragon, Arthur’s father. After pulling it from the stone, Arthur used it until it got broken in battle. Then, at Merlin’s direction, he traded the broken sword to the Lady of the Lake in exchange for a lifetime lease on Excalibur.

    @waffle911 & Novil: The original wording for Larisa’s line in frame 2 might be appropriate if she learned English after first learning Russian. Certain speech patterns tend to creep into some people’s second languages, even if they are as fluent as a native speaker, simply because that’s the way the person learned first.

    I hate to sound anything like a pedant, but I LOVE Arthurian legend, and…
    From what I remember, the sword in the stone is not the same as Excalibur. Arthur wielded the sword in the stone until it was broken in a duel with the black knight ( whose limbs were NOT sliced off) and Merlyn told him to go to the lady of the lake to recieve Excalibur.
    ( coincidentally, the sword isn’t magic. The scabbard is, and it made Arthur invulnerable when he wore it
