It's clearly a dragon making pancakes. It has the butter, the Mrs. Butterworth syrup, but no skillet to cook them on, so he uses the knight's armor for the hotplate.
everyone just ASSUMES that the dragon is dead... the dragon was OBVIOUSLY trying to cook pancakes when the knight came along... in the second panel he is showing the knight that his hands are simply too big for the task... in the third panel he drops to his knees to worship the Savior of the Pancake who has adorned himself in the raiment of gods
I'm not sure how you still don't see it. It's really simple. A knight ventures into a dragon's cave expecting a horde of gold and treasure.. He finds a pile of syrup and butter, picks up one of the butter sticks because he's confused... And then the dragon appears to guard it's treasure! The knight drops the torch and butter and quickly draws his sword (and you'd think a shield, to fend off some of the flames) but instead of the dragon breathing fire, he breathes pancakes. The knight quickly dispatches the dragon, then pulls a pancake off of his armour, obviously confused as to what just happened.
I think that a lot of people misinterpreted this one.
The knight went to slay a dragon but is confused by its hoard consisting of butter and syrup. He's caught off guard by the dragon, but it actually breathes batter instead of fire so the knight inadvertently turns the batter to pancakes with his torch. The dragon is slain but the knight is still all "Wtf?"
I read it as a dragon whose weakness is pancakes. The treasure hoard of syrup and butter are for his favorite food. The knight came in with pancakes displayed prominently on his armor, as protection or a peace offering. In the last panel, the knight is offering one of the pancakes to the dragon, who is extending its foreleg to take it. .... am I reading too much into it? O_o;
Anyway, whatever it means, it's still a tasty tasty update. Om nom nom pancakes.
okay, so he has butter in his hand....and the dragon appears, I'm guessing he throws the butter at the dragon, cause it's his weakness? and the pancakes are blood?
I'm a bit perplexed by a pancake-breathing dragon keeping butter and syrup as treasure. If I breathed pancakes, I would never want to eat them. Is he just a friendly dragon who likes to feed people?
