Glad someone posted this. It's probably THE most relevant strip that hasn't already been linked. The basic fact is that if D&D alignment did not lend itself to complex and nuanced interpretation, then this scene would not be possible.

Also worth noting that this was 550 strips and six years ago - which underlines that this is a concept Rich has been examining and playing with as part of the comic for quite some time now.
