    It's probably come up before, and perhaps it's too ambiguous of a case -- but might you not be missing O-Chul's first appearance, in strip 290?

    http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0290.html

    Based on your listing, it looks like you have his first appearance as 403.

    Cheers.

    That character has been declared not to be O-Chul. He's listed as "Fellow-Medium Sized Paladin", with two appearances.

    Who would have guessed that a CAT now looks very likely to be the first non-order character to break 100 appearances?

    Is the change in eye color worth noting?
    Question answered: red eyes means Malack is "vamped out." I'm counting that as a magical alteration.

    I think we should make a clear decision if we are counting Malack as Lizardfolk or Malack as Vampire in the alterations list.

    We don't keep track of Xykon as a lich, so no. Malack has been both lizardfolk and vampire for as long as we've seen him in the comic. If we get a flashback to a time when Malack was not a vampire, we will track "Malack as mortal".

    Awesome. Added. The unnamed folks with "+1" only appeared once, right? So they wouldn't get listed.

    The hand that held up the "Thanks!" sign as an appearence by Rich Burlew? I thought that was supposed to be him.

    Does the title page of the pdf count? If so then it's thirteen appearances for Belkar.
    Please write all sarcasm in blue text. All metaphors should be marked in red text and for any split infinitives, please use green. Thank you.

    If that's the Gygax strips, I think we should wait until they are compiled into a book format, as we did with the Dragon magazine appearances.

    Oh, we waited? Cool then, ignore the G001 post and I'll try to remember not to make a G002 post.

    Can I just say I really appreciate these strips with regular defined characters in it? So much better than having to remember which mummy was belted. :)
