LOVE this series, esp. the later editions when the art improves. An awesome story with quirky writing... I just wish there was more! :)

I love Oglaf and I await for a new comic every week. I had really high expectations for this but what was that? It didn't make any sense and the "accent" was hard to understand sometimes.

Like most everyone, I decided to read this since this is the same team that creates Oglaf, which is a seriously funny strip, so long as you don't mind the smut ('cause there's a lot of it). I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who couldn't make much sense of what the heck was happening here. It doesn't help that they phonetically write out a Scottish accent for the first couple of issues, but beyond that, I couldn't figure out what was leading one event to another. In a way, it made me think I had picked up volume two in the series, since I felt like there was a lot I should've known before starting with this volume.

I gave it two stars because you can see the genesis of the "hapless apprentice" gag from Oglaf, but for the most part, it's not something I would recommend. At all. Which is funny, because this is 100% smut-free (though it's certainly suggesting a lot, and has a little bit of nudity).
