Hey guys, what's the difference between a lawyer and a catfish?

One's a scum-sucking bottom feeder, the other's just a fish. ;D ;D ;D
Disclaimer: I have no personal hate for lawyers.

>>>"What is this? Why the hell is Miko eating with a spoon She should get some serious exp penalty for beeing out of character! "

ummm you do realise asian cultures use spoons to have their soup right? seriously?that has to be one of the more silly things I have heard in a long time

**phlip** · 2005-10-04, 11:16 AM (ISO 8601)

What are you talking about? I have soup with chopsticks all the time!

It just takes a really long time to get through it all. That or you have to make really thick soup.

Or, you hollow out the chopsticks and use them to slurp up the broth like straws! (slightly less sophisticated method- they give me the funniest looks over at the Embassy...)

Sounds like Penguin logic:
Penguins are Black and White
Some old TV shows are Black and White
Therefore, Some pengins are old TV shows.

Wouldn't any class-action lawsuit be moot, given that Miko's victoms are, umm, dead (or destroyed, if undead/constructs/other non-living evil entities).

**Kish** · 2005-10-04, 01:26 PM (ISO 8601)

Just the evil ones. The class action lawsuit is on behalf of the survivors (those she didn't kill because they weren't evil).

**whmice** · 2005-10-04, 01:35 PM (ISO 8601)

lolololol :D :D :D :D :D

My personal favorite:

Carol weighs as much as a duck.
Ducks float on water.
Wood floats on water.
Wood is meant for burning.
Witches are meant for burning.
Therefore, Carol is a witch!

I love TV.

...Well how do you know she's a witch?

...Build a bridge out o' her!

**El Jaspero, the Pirate King** · 2005-10-04, 10:36 PM (ISO 8601)

I just had a thought:

Did Belkar just learn his first spell, summon letigious ally I?

**Kulatu** · 2005-10-04, 10:55 PM (ISO 8601)

He must have gotten a new point and put it into wis. :O

**Kish** · 2005-10-04, 10:57 PM (ISO 8601)

Or taken a level of a prestige class that relies on Intelligence for spellcasting ability.

The only question is, when did he level up?

**Dorni** · 2005-10-04, 11:17 PM (ISO 8601)

It is also quite possible that the class action lawsuit, while not a very good pun, gets a chuckle and is a legal way to bring miko to court.

**Kulatu** · 2005-10-04, 11:41 PM (ISO 8601)

They levelled up after slaying the dragon if I recall...

Belkar has a pretty poor attention span ("What giants?") so maybe he didn't even think to check out his newly acquired 1st level spell list...

Or maybe he just spotted a lawyer and came up with the idea on the spot. He certainly had enough money to do so.

**silvadel** · 2005-10-05, 02:33 AM (ISO 8601)

One thing I find interesting is that Miko actually thought she could cast Detect Evil on Belkar after he did the casual remark -- Oops I forgot my lead sheet...

Even someone as dim as Miko the microphone should have realized that must be a trap.

I dunno... You think Belkar could even spot a lawyer?

**Slibs** · 2005-10-05, 06:18 AM (ISO 8601)

Where did he fnid a lawyer in the middle of Nowhere? The whole country consists of what appears to be the Watergate.

**Kulatu** · 2005-10-05, 06:33 AM (ISO 8601)

Belkar's spot check may be bad...but Lawyers don't seem to be the stealthy type. In my opinion, Belkar only has trouble with EXIT signs and ninja.

Also, you are wrong sir. This hotel is in the middle of SOMEWHERE, not NOWHERE. Also, it is quite a fancy hotel and if the lawyer happened to be passing through, it seems like a quite acceptable choice even for his snobbish taste.

**Sami_Hamlaoui** · 2005-10-05, 07:06 AM (ISO 8601)

new comic

FIRST!!!

**ScreamerSimon** · 2005-10-05, 07:10 AM (ISO 8601)

Can't believe it, it is really me beeing the first to comment on 229!!! Woooot!!!!

EDIT: (Grumble, too slow... Darn it, Sarmaul ;))

At least the dwarf is aware of his stickness, I wonder if the Order is also...

**phlip** · 2005-10-05, 07:27 AM (ISO 8601)

Ooh, there'll be blood if Haley finds out about that comment...

**Baron** · 2005-10-05, 07:37 AM (ISO 8601)

they need an umbrella just like the "unknown" creature has...

**Baatezu** · 2005-10-05, 07:44 AM (ISO 8601)

I wonder who brought the 'no shadow' issue to the giant's mind. I know that I didn't notice it until now.

Heh... Especially if she finds out as well about the "court jester" thing regarding Elan ;D

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT comic! I also loved the fact that the red-haired dwarf is aware of the nature of the world he inhabits :)

They can still be raised or "speak with dead"ed to.
Dead is not sure in D&D.
Taxes, on the other hand...

**just_al** · 2005-10-05, 07:57 AM (ISO 8601)

New comic at 8:00a 8)

Of course this just means it will probably be longer between this comic and the next one :o I'll start twitching now....

Excellent comic though... Love the fact that the dwarf knows he's a stick..

**Invariel** · 2005-10-05, 08:24 AM (ISO 8601)

Breaking the fourth wall for our amusement. Thanks, Rich.
As for Belkar, he went up a level when escaping from the dragon's hoard. It was well underground, after all.
