Death and Axes #22 - 24 Foreign and Domestic For more of our comics, check out our linktree: linktr.ee/nichrome.m... #deathandaxes #reruns #goblins #comic

Title: Foreign Panel 1: In the goblin palace, the particularly large goblin Queen Zurga sits on her throne. Her advisor, Meatbucket, approaches her and says, 'your majesty, a band of humans have approached the village, requesting a meeting.' Queen Zurga says dismissively, 'kill 'em.' Panel 2: Queen Zurga, the goblin queen, and King Ochs, the orc king are locked in an intense arm wrestling match. The Queen is large for a goblin, but still smaller than the orc. Around them, goblins and orcs watch the arm wrestling match eagerly. Panel 3: Queen Zurga wins the arm wrestling match and the goblins cheer. The orcs look disappointed at their leader who looks embarrassed. Panel 4: King Ochs removes the bone crown from his head and attempts to place it around Queen Zurga's head, but it is much too large and fits her like a necklace. In the background King Och's advisor whispers to Meatbucket, the Queen's advisor, 'she not orc queen now, right?' Meatbucket whispers back, 'unclear'.

Title: Domestic Panel 1: In the receiving chamber of the goblin queen's palace, Queen Zurga sits on her throne looking bored. Beside th queen, her advisor, Meatbucket says, 'explain your dispute.' In front of them are two other goblins, Leek and Bettle. Leek points at Beetle. Stitches can be seen on his arms where his arms were reattached. He says, 'beetle stole my ax!'. Beetle crosses her arms and says 'no i didnt!' Panel 2: Queen Zurga says, 'u didnt?'. Beetle says, 'furst, meetbuckit and i cut off leeks arm. then i kickt meetbuckits ass. THEN i took the ax.' Panel 3: Queen Zurga looks sideways at Meatbucket. 'is that tru?' Meatbucket looks embarrassed, but says, 'its tru' Panel 4: Queen Zurga shrugs and says, 'seems fair 2 me.' Leek hangs his head and Beetle celebrates.

Panel 2: Later, Queen Zurga again sits on her throne when Meatbucket approaches her. He says, 'your majesty, a group of elves have been spotted planting a garden nearby.' Again Queen Zurga says, 'kill 'em.' Panel 3: On yet another day, Queen Zurga sits on her throne when Meatbucket approaches again to say, 'your majesty, some gnomes got lost and came here for directions. I presume you would like me to k--' Queen Zurga interupts and says, 'keep 'em.' Meatbucket says, 'your majesty?' Panel 4: The next day, Queen Zurga sits on her throne. Beside her on the floor stands a terrified looking gnome with a collar, who she pets on the head fondly. She says to a pair of visiting goblin children, 'and th
