Patriarch Poak feels like he is going to make one or two new friends today.
FUN FACTS:
-It is customary for yinglets to leave a weapon unwashed after slaying a great enemy, and display it in community areas such as this.
-The center rug was a gift from House Ivenmoth a few months ago, symbolizing Trademaster Viracroix’s intent to strengthen the bonds between his House and the local yinglet enclave.
-The term “enclave” was chosen for yinget community centers over other possible terms because one of the early Great Councils decided “It sounded very impressive and they wanted people to be impressed by it.”
That is one huge for yinglet!
In the olden times, being a Really Big Guy could make you a huge celebrity with your tribe/clan/etc!
I hear it works similarly in Southern California.
Because of improved nutrition, the average height of people in industrialized nations has increased by about four inches over the last two centuries (for example, the average adult male in the 1800s was 5’5″; nowadays it’s 5’9″.)
If improved nutrition allows humans to grow bigger, it probably applies to yinglings as well. Poak IS the patriarch of supplies and foodstuffs; something tells me that he’s never been at risk of starvation. So it seems likely that is part of the reason for his unusual size. (The high rate of mutation among the yinglings might be part of it as well.)
A greater muscle mass and more solid build also means he would be able to tackle larger prey or work harder in the fields, which is likely how he earned his position.
When I first read this page I was certain that in the last panel Poak said “Have a calm” which was just so stupidly endearing. I’m honestly almost a bit disappointed now that it was “clam”, although that does make far more sense.
Same, though it’s so funny to me either way.
The voice I give figgins in my head sounds like an old Irishman, or possibly a smoker.
Ohh wow, Figgins is missing half his tail! Looks painful.
PROTECTIVE AUTHORITY POWERS ACTIVATE!!!!!!
Poak reminds me of Joey Tribbiani
Thanks, I will never not think of him voicing Poak now…
God I love the fact that Elim is so strong compared to the yinglets as a bodyguard. And he’s not even huge by human standards. I’d like to see if they feel intimidated by Isher or Yannit.
Absolute unit
On reread Poaks offer of a clam is incredibly generous.
Big thick
I’d hug that big yinglet ;w; <3
Of course the patriarch of food would be HUGE
May I offer you a nice clam in these trying times?
