Hey, he defeated her in fair combat. Plain open attack from straight up front.

Bernard's first cameo guest appearance (there will be many more) is, unfortunately, kind of crappy. Esteban Maroto's classic Sonja outfit has a well established design with armor made of round metal scales, ornate shoulder protectors, gloves, boots and various ornaments; here she's just wearing a generic bikini of second-rate chainmail. I got much more particular with accurate portrayals of guest characters later.

Again, apologies for the Swedish sound effect. Turning ”RAAP” into ”BUURP” in a flat image without layers just didn't seem worth the bother.

Sonja's word balloon is one of two versions that I drew. The one that did end up in the strip – saying ”six” for ’sex’, same word in Swedish – got used although I wasn't too sure about the potentially confusing double negation; no fighting = no sex.  Still, I picked it since the other (below) could be read as meaning there will be sex as long as they have a fight first. The hassles of wordless writing.

So-called rough foreplay.
