I will forever treasure the 1e Dwarf I made/played, Axebeard McBeardaxe of the Clan McBeardaxe.
The MacAxeBeards are our adversaries. The AxeMcBeards are our enemies!
But what ever happened to the McAxeClan Beards?
They were all burned off in the Great Forging Disaster of 976. Between their bald chins and their embarrassment at having a Forging Disaster, they haven't come out from their hold in years.
Reminds me of a friend's joke character, "Lummox McBigbrute, of the McBigbrute Clan from Thugginbourg". He had things like "Weapon Proficiency: Tree", a negative Int score, and an immunity to mind-affecting spells and effects.

Wait a minute... Has Fighter become Sigmar or Conan? I'm confused.
Blood for the Stabby Throne?
Poor fighter, being successful.
I'm actually halfway seriously here- sure, he's reached pretty much everything he could hope for.
Power, fame, riches...
But look at him; he's alone, sitting in the dark*, on a uncomfortable chair...
Not even a drink.
And that cape looks kinda impractical too. Can he even stand up without choking himself?
In his place I'd miss the early days too.
*Not exactly, but it looks... gloomier, less bright than the bar they usually hang out in.

Ya know how dragons are arrogant and overconfident? Don't be a dragon. Be a DM.
Can confirm. DMs get substantially better bonuses to both.

Look, it's no picnic for the kraken either. It's got to figure out the "breaking objects" rules.
Colin, have you considered doing a comic about the combat grid and COVID-19, and how it's like the characters are social distancing because they're always 5 feet apart
Its not social distancing, its staying out of melee range.
Well now I have.
Of course, the problem is that I've seen that gag a couple of times already. Didn't a dude block out 5' squares with plywood to illustrate a few months back...?
In any case, I'd have to think of a way to put a new spin on the punchline. Definitely needs to go on the "ideas pile" though. :)
With a couple exceptions, i feel like topical stuff like that makes for bad comics. Its going to age pretty poorly (hopefully, at any rate) and doesnt really serve to promote the word of something important the same way a certain other topical page did. Also, im kind of sick of hearing about COVID in non-news sources. Let me have my silly escapism for a little bit.

In which Cleric gets a hot new look.
Handbook of Heroes #518: "Intriguing"
I'm pretty sure Barbarian would win the cleavage contest at my local Ren Faire. Followed immediately by winning the joust.
Handbook of Heroes #519: "'Science' Fiction"
You guys ever hear of a game called Hypertellurians? It's retrofuturistic science fantasy, and the creators reached out to partner with us for a few comics. :D
totally not my genre
