    Nitpick time: File this under “wrong usage of -eth when trying to sound medieval”. That particular usage became “-es” in modern English, and if you make that replacement in this comic (cometh → comes), it’s immediately clear that it’s wrong. “Come onward” would have been just fine, but that, of course, looks far too modern.

    I mean, you could read it as being deliberately demeaning or objectifying - she is being a hard taskmaster - but I don’t think that was the intention here.

    If she has permission - or dares take the initiative - to use the familiar form of address, she could try “Now, come thee onward!”, keeping both that “th” that was wrong before, as well as the syllable count. Might still be a bit weird in context, but not grammatically.

      It’s a lot heavier than that! The density of steel varies as there are different alloys, but most are in the range of 7.5-9 g/cm^3

      Gold has a density that’s more than double most steel alloys at 19.3 g/cm^3. Of course, that’s assuming we’re taking about pure gold, but still, gold is way more than 10% heavier than steel

    “My lord, we are having trouble breaching our enemy’s wall.”

    “Very well, we shall to come to your aid”

    Queen throws King at wall, problem solved.

    are armbands and knee bands to keep your joints from popping out of place when you’re lifting heavy stuff?
