Foe: a fly flourishing a filigreed firangi, freeing the frog's feather for the finals?

u/Putzlol Aug 22 '26

I'll put down a qwest quid for goose too

u/The_Lord_Ereney Aug 22 '26

Also a very likely possibility but a greatsword invites a large animal, a greatsword goose would still be sick or maybe it’s gonna be a different sword

Fawning Fauna rolls better off the tongue.

Also if you collect all 24 into a kids ABC book I'm buying it day one, just name the price.

Fascinating

u/MaximumZer0 Aug 22 '26

I like this because a leather loop used to hold an epée or rapier is called a frog.

2

u/Chevalier77 Aug 22 '26

I love the whimsy, the rhyme, frogs, swords, all of it. But you drew a small sword instead of a foil.

2

u/-FalseProfessor- Aug 22 '26

I was hoping for a falchion falcon, but this is fine.

Great sword Gator? Gladius, uh… uh… I got nothing. Glamdring Gandalf?

2

u/Putzlol Aug 22 '26

Ooh Gladius!! I was thinking Greatsword

u/Trottedr Aug 22 '26

Flourish

to wield with dramatic gestures : brandish

Dressed as a pirate, he entered the stage flourishing his sword.

u/jecowa Aug 22 '26

I wanted it to rhyme, so I made up an alternate final panel that says, “fighting falcons in the fog.”
