The Order of the Stick

[Bogotter]

Das a gud one!


Roy's father is great!

[The Giant]

Thanks. Proof that in a world where the afterlife is a tangible fact, you can NEVER escape your parents. ;)

[WampaX]

I'm going to be the first to say that . . . this one wasn't all that funny to me. Its hard for a Web Comic to continually outdo itself week after week.

I know the next one will probably knock my socks off, so I'll stick around. ;D

[The Giant]

That just tells me you have a decent relationship with your parents. ;)

No, seriously, I don't expect everyone to fall on the floor laughing every time. As long as I get more positive feedback than negative, I'm happy.

[WampaX]

Perfect Strip for Thanksgiving, though.

[Ashlock]

Of course, once you get a standard going, it's bound to get hard to live up to. Most of them are great.

Funny, 'cause the last episode I thought was the funniest (that and the inspire competence one), while I thought the "up a level, down a level" episode wasn't particularly funny, just amusing. But that's only in comparison to what you've got going.

I think I find the more slapsticky ones to be funniest. With action of some kind and short, hilarious comments here and there.

[The Giant]

Perfect Strip for Thanksgiving, though.

One of my fans from another message board said the same thing: "It's the family holiday strip!! The older relative comes to visit, complains about college tution, says a lot of stuff that gets ignored, complains that you never call, then leaves!"

[WampaX]

Exactly what I was refering to . . . just not in so many words. :D

[Bogotter]

I sort of agree with Ashlock....some of the earlier ones were my favorites (like the inspire competance one and the hotline to thor).......and then people started raving about ones that I find only minorly amusing. (Up a level, down a level) This latest one tickled my funny bone again and others didn't like it as much.

It's weird....but cool.....that your audience appreciates different things.

[The Giant]

Yeah, I kind of find it encouraging. I mean, I've had a dozen people tell me a different one is their favorite; that says to me that I'm doing something right!

[WampaX]

Well, whatever you are doing, keep doing it. :D

[Ashlock]

Yes, do!

Oh, and my fiance adores the halfling. Keep him coming! ;)

[Bogotter]

Elan and Vaarsuvius are my favs!

So when will we be seeing these in Dragon?

[Tae_Kwon_Dan]

"I have deep rooted emotional problems. Die Die!" Thus far is my favorite line.

[WampaX]

OotS #16
A good demonstration of the comedy "rule of three."

[The Giant]

As Medesha requested, there is now a drop-down menu at the bottom of the comics page so you can hop back a few easily.

And of course, # 17 is up too.

[WampaX]

Please, Rich, Continuity. ::)
First Elan is on the right, then on the left, then back on the right.

Still with teh funny, though. :)

[The Giant]

It's not continuity, it's movement between panels. You'll notice Belkar also drew his daggers between the last two panels; since he can draw and move as a move action, and he drew, therefore he had time to move.

Plus, I set it up the way that the dialogue needs to go. :P

[Bogotter]

You latest strip had me rolling. I love it. It's so funny when you take the mechanics of the game and illustrate it literally. Very funny.

Good job!

[WampaX]

Yeah, I've always been bugged by that doubled up SA . . . always seemed rather odd. Now, it is imortalized in humor.

[Kai]

Bravo! :D

[Medesha]

As Medesha requested, there is now a drop-down menu at the bottom of the comics page so you can hop back a few easily.

I did 113 damage to a pit fiend once with the surprise/initiative combot...at 10th level! Loved the comic, GitP!

[Nim]

Hey all, GitP you know me from Fluid Fantasy as Sampetra. I personally love the sunder. I mean, imagine that in your latest campaign (literally!). Actually, that could be very neat. Perhaps it is the famous "Troll Pointy Thing of Fakeness". Trolls lure you in with fake, easily breakable but good-looking swords and then stab you with the real things.

[The Giant]

New comic is up!

[WampaX]

Very Cunning indeed . . .

It just hit me, it being commercialism time and all, I mean, X-mas time, I mean, well . . . you get the idea ;) . . .

Both Chimeras would make great plushies. ;D

[The Giant]

I'll get my marketing division right on that. ;)

[Ashlock]

Ahh, the good ol' eyelashes and lips to feminize something.....very cute!

Good one.

And I'd be happy to purchase a plush chimera. :)

[The Giant]

Ahh, the good ol' eyelashes and lips to feminize something.....very cute!

Well, don't forget, that's almost certainly NOT what female chimerae look like—it's just what Elan thinks they look like.

[Bogotter]

I'll buy a plushy chimera too.

But I'd rather have the transexual ogre complete with belt. :)

Great comic. I love the evasion panel....very funny.

[The Giant]

But I'd rather have the transexual ogre complete with belt. :)

I didn't need to know this about you...

But seriously, if I ever figure out a way to do plushies, Haley and Elan are at the top of the list. They would just be sooooo cute.
