Hinjo vs. Hieronymus Grubwiggler
A real character vs. a shtik.
Shojo vs. Old Blind Pete
Shojo was funny; Pete was a treacherous ingrate.
Greysky Priest vs. Ancient Black Dragon
She had a lot more initiative than the Cleric of Loki. Besides, you know, being a dragon.
Ganonron vs. Blackwing
Blackwing is nicer, funnier, and has more to do in the comic. And he’s a stealth dinosaur.
