The Order of the Stick: May

[Piratecat]

My wife dreamed last night that Belkar was running around with his little kobold hat. Then someone said "Didn't that kobold have some troll blood?" and there's a halfling-sized scream from off-panel.

Nice work. This week has been great!

I'll steal this site from you ;) and say that Nale and Elan (Hey I just got it), must have a lot of fun using that +12 jump, that explains how Elan came over that pit easier than anyone else in #4

[SimonMoon5]

One drawback to the minimalist art:

When Roy complained that he couldn't jump wearing all that armor, I was thinking, "Armor? He's just wearing a blue shirt with metal shoulderpads." :)

And, hey, no fair: Elan already defeated Thog, and now he's going to get to decide whether Nale lives or dies. Nobody else got to beat more than one opponent... Oh, but Elan'll prob'ly screw it up though.

Do you have any idea what the armor check penalty is on metal shoulderpads?!?

[Tarlonniel]

And, hey, no fair: Elan already defeated Thog, and now he's going to get to decide whether Nale lives or dies.

That's 'cuz Elan rocks ;D But seriously, Nale is his twin brother, and Nale did stab him in the back, and Nale was his original opponent before Thog stepped in - makes sense that Elan should be the one to decide Nale's fate.

[Grey Watcher]

And as for Nale, finish him! The traitorus cur's probably killed many innocent people over the years, and won't rest until he gets his revenge. Best to make sure he's completely dead and un-ressurectable.

True, but I think Elan's a bit too idealistic/naieve to (deliberately) let Nale fall to his death.

[Calyn]

I think my favorite part was Elan's expression when he said "Karma-riffic!"

[fredryck]

hehe... I'll repeat

KARMA-RIFFIC ;D

lol... It still cracks me up...

[JD]

Thanks Giant for all these funny comics every day.

I think that if Elan tries to pick up Nale he'll drop him into the pit, because he was trying to do the opposite....

[dktsang]

Although I feel fairly confident that Thog is evil, even if he isn't his inclusion into the Order will not occur, and would not occur, especially considering Belkar is not a good comparison.

Belkar is mot likely evil, too...

I logged on this morning and realized that we're back to the twice per week schedule....and I'm on vacation next week with no web access....I have to wait an entire extra week to find out what happens next!!!

::SHUDDER:: I can feel the withdrawl starting already!!!

Giant, outstanding job with the daily strips. I was laughing that entire time. :)

[Zherog]

ACK! I'm suffering withdrawl symptoms today! :-/

edit: wow! talk about timing! ::)

[JD]

I just opened my Internet Explorer and headed to this site to find out how well my vision would turn out, and now I'm depressed :'(

[Grey Watcher]

No more daily OotS. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to pay more attention to my boyfriend now.... ::)

Thats the downside of these boards, I can't sense sarcasm just as easy, so I'll ask a question no one asks someone in RL: "Are you gay or joking?"

[Caleb]

I would think GW is a girl.

[dktsang]

I would think GW is a girl.

The "Gender:" entry would indicate otherwise.

Not that it really matters; paying more attention to one's SO (almost) always seems like a good idea...

[JD]

What special someone? Oh you mean my Pentium IV? No? Then I'm lost.......

Oh yeah karma-riffic

[Grey Watcher]

Thats the downside of these boards, I can't sense sarcasm just as easy, so I'll ask a question no one asks someone in RL: "Are you gay or joking?"

Would you believe both? ;D

I am gay, but I don't have a boyfriend... yet. There's someone I'm seeing, but I don't yet know how far that's going.

:eyes all the new moderators:

Ahem! Yes, well, as fascinating as my romance life is, let's get back to the Order.

...

Apart from joining in the expressions of withdrawal, I can think of nothing constructive to add.

[Bogotter]

Ahem! Yes, well, as fascinating as my romance life is, let's get back to the Order.

Yes, let's. ::)

[Duskrider_Moogle]

I feel so bad for poor Belkar with his tiny daggers...is he going to get some new weapons soon?

[Gorbash Kazdar]

I feel so bad for poor Belkar with his tiny daggers...is he going to get some new weapons soon?

Given his newly acquired headgear, I'd say he's doing quite fine with them. ;)

[JD]

Seriously do you think he used his daggers for that? I think he used his hands (re-read it and read the sounds!).

Karma-riffic GW

P.s. I'll use that expression to everything from now on, man those people in the supermarket looked.

[Dolash]

On what days does the Giant usually update? Mondays and Fridays? Tuesdays and Thursdays? Or is there no specific day, he just makes sure to make a comic at least twice a week?

[The Giant]

Try going to the Comics page, starting at the very top and reading down. :P

[Dolash]

...Oh. Ok then.

[Duskrider_Moogle]

Seriously do you think he used his daggers for that? I think he used his hands (re-read it and read the sounds!).

The "scheeets" look to me like he was dragging the daggers...like, nails on a chalkboard except instead of nails they were daggers, and instead of a chalkboard, it was kobold skin. And anyway, if he had used his hands...o.O I don't think Belkar's that strong.

But either way, the kid could use some new weaponry.

[Gorbash Kazdar]

Well, he can pick up at least one larger sword off Yikyik, but perhaps he has an attachment to those daggers? Or maybe they're enchanted just the way he likes 'em. ;)

I wonder what the Order will do with Thog, since he surrendered?

Just noticed this was discussed before, sorry!

[Fantasy]

Whee... I love the new strip. I never really about Law and Chaos, with the whole conscience shoulder buddies thing, but it was quite amusing. But.... BLAST, still have to wait to see Nale's fate. I'm all for him falling, but that's me...

[WampaX]

So, Giant, you've been getting those Slaad Spam e-mails, too. ;D
