The artist really seems to be hitting a stride since the introduction of the blacksmith, they start doing a lot of this cool art and it's really attention grabbing.

The scalies would be very upset at you if they could read

"Dragons are reptiles" Ehhhhh... I mean the first ever creatures to be referred to as "drakon" are just big snakes, so yes, but every others ? They're chimeras with reptiles and non-reptile elements, so I don't think they can be properly classified. The Drac from occitan folklore is for example almost always depicted with mammal-like ears. Even the Welsh Ddraig has ears, you ca see it on their flag: I think this remained common until recently, when people started taking Darwin's orginin of species into account and make dragons that might nicely fit into a classification of species. Bat wings an horns are also traits borrowed to mammals. Not strictly "mammalian traits" because we can find examples of reptiles that have had similar features, but clearly these medieval people didn't think "It's a mix between a dimorphodon and a carnotaurus !".

This chimera aspect is even more important and Chinese dragons which are described with nine ressemblances:

as to the nine resemblances, they are the following: his antlers resemble those of a stag, his head that of a camel, his eyes those of a demon, his neck that of a snake, his belly that of a clam (shen, 蜃), his scales those of a carp, his claws those of an eagle, his soles those of a tiger, his ears those of a cow. Upon his head, he has a thing like a broad eminence (a big lump), called [chimu] (尺木). If a dragon has no [chimu], he cannot ascend to the sky.

Of these nine animals, only the snake is commonly understood as a reptile. Cladistically speaking, the eagle is also one, but that's still only two out of nine. And four mammals (assuming the demon isn't one... I'll take it it's also non-classifiable).

So, dragons aren't strictly speaking reptiles, and giving them mammalian traits is acceptable and trivial.

This is just further evidence for the Argonian hypothesis

Reality check: You will NEVER enjoy a warm refreshing glass of lizard milk.

it's just an adaptation, like protective coloration

Cecile has seriously lucked out meeting these goblins tbf she was in a pretty bad position previously.

Could’ve gone with “Division of Labor” if “Alienation from the Product of Labor” was too spicy

I agree, I too think the dragon blacksmith is a little overly boobular.

Haha, I forgot which number you said we learned Skye’s name in, and while I managed to catch Cecile, I did forget that we just learned a new name

I hope we get something better than Kid, though

The kobold? and 2/3 of every female goblin are shirtless in every comic
