I am with the crowd with the above opinion.

Otherwise: The suicide of the last paladin after Xykon throws his sphere of insanity (was that the name?). That is horrifying and heartbreaking both.

Obviously, the saddest moment in the whole strip is the death...


of Fruit Pie.


*sniff* Rest in Pies, old buddy.
