Paul: *puts on his band manager game face* *approaches*
Waldorf: *double-facepaw* You IDIOT!
And/or:
Statler: I really don’t know if you’re equipped, Ike… and you’ve obviously no idea… hmm… try pitching your voice really high, then forcing air under your tongue.
Waldorf: Statler!
Ike: (falsetto) eeeeee ueeEEE *emits tone that shatters every glass in the room*
Other patrons: *clutch their ears*
Sound system on stage below: *starts feeding back*
Statler: That’s it! :-} Just like when I first tried! Now-
Waldorf: Stop it! Both of you! *deep breath* Paulbert… do you have a studio with a soundproof room?
Paul: *rubs ears* You what?

The new face in the shades doesn’t seem surprised by the sound. I predict the wanted drama. Pleeeeeaaase gimme the dramatic reveal I was longing for.
Right now my theory is a 50/50 shot of it still possibly being Bloodcarver, but after this page my new theory is that’s Ike’s missing Manticore dad
Oooh I like this theory
Ohh I like this theory too!! He’s got the mutton-chops and red hair like the manticores we’ve seen. Also a really peaked Roman nose (though it could also have been broken at some point). Have we seen Ike in full human-form? What’s his nose like when he isn’t lion-faced?
I floated the ‘sunglasses guy is Ike’s Dad’ theory when he first showed up. I think the only time Ike’s human face is shown was when he was telling Anthony about his own traumatic teenage transformation in Hello, Goodbye. His human nose is shaped more like his mother’s rather distinctive “ski slope” nose than Sunglasses dude’s.
Human Ike has much darker skin than this guy though. And his mom doesn’t.
I’m not convinced that it is, but if it is, I have a “yes, and” for you: He showed back up now *because* when Ike asked Statler and Waldorf for an interview, they were able to get in touch with him. I’m leaning toward it being indirect and they don’t actually know him, but maybe it’s something like… there was a rumor about a manticore who disappeared around the right time, and their friend has a friend who knew the real story.
Definitely on the missing manticore dad train, along with what I assume would have to be a manticore medallion reveal or equivalent lol
Isn’t Sunglasses just John? Lorne’s older brother?
I think John’s in the background just to the right of the =3 face at the top.
That seems surprisingly melodic. A siren would be jealous.
If a manticore can produce pretty much any sound, does that mean that they can all sing really well? And can they also mimic anything they hear?
Now I hope Ike gets lessons in manticorish.
makes sense, manticores traditionally lured their prey into the woods with song, much like sirens and lamia. I wonder if manticorsh has a magical component, or if it’s just nonmagical physical ability like magpies and starlings.
That would explain the look on the human woman face.
I don’t see any disapproving faces, and one that’s very impressed.
Also, does this mean Jim and Lorne are back together?
I can’t tell you exactly what he’s saying as my high-school Mantacorish is a little rusty, but I believe it’s an old bardic tune that starts like this:
“We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinkin’ of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy”
I knew it, That’s Dad.
I’m beginning to see how busking may be a viable avenue for them!
I cant tell its one of the most beautiful sounds this people ever heard or if its absolutely horrendous.
I am super intrigued by the writing system for Manticorsh! It reminds me a bit of Talisman script by Thomas Maska (https://omniglot.com/conscripts/talisman.htm), did you base Manticorsh on that or another script? Or is it something completely original? (Or is it just shapes meant to imply letters and I’m reading way too far into it? XD )
The world’s most beautiful Yo Momma joke
Oh that chick’s in deep smit.
I was just playing with the idea that, while busking, they might amuse themselves by Dylanizing.
I love the symbols in the sound, reminds me of Arabic text! Woould be interesting to here all the sounds together, the words, whistles, and trumpeting all.
Also: I know he aint the main deal here at the moment, but Greg is looking ROUGH. Poor lad.
Oh how I wish we could hear that tape Issac is recording. I like to imagine it’s like throat singing languages ^.^
VERY happy to see the ‘original 4’ friends again. But Greg has a beard now?? I hope that they have more appearances in the future…

That definitely got everybody’s attention! The way it’s drawn/written, it looks like it sounds beautiful ~
Thank goodness! I worried it might be the opposite!
Kory did mention that they busk in one of the asks, so I guess their singing is the sort that is a good busker, not a chalkboard.
You know, right up until this moment I kind of thought this was part of their ‘bit’ and they were just having him on about the secret language.
That’s the secret of a good bit. You make it so the less believable parts are the true ones.
“Two manticores walk into a bar…”
Siiiipppy
Its cracks me up every time I see it. XD
Can’t believe he really said :3c
So…
Everyone: Wow! Yaaay! More! Encore! *whistle* *APPLAUSE*

Yes-ish.
We saw a slightly younger Ike in human form in a flashback to the first time he transformed.

We also see him on this page in The Bug Bear Talisman returning home with Alec!

Exactly what I was thinking!
