- But I have to get out of here! My evil twin brother is going to kill my- my Haley! And she's all unsuspecting and defenseless and, and, and Haleyish!

Me- squeee!

Wow, Giant, I am really enjoying this storyline! And of course, it's funny, too... Can't wait to see why Thog's in that costume!

[jasonab]

New comic is up.

Sorry about the delay; no excuses except for the fact that I wasn't happy with my first script and scrapped it.

I don't suppose we could know what the original script was...

Pure brilliance. I always knew Thog and Elan would be cool together. One of the best comics in a while, one that actually made me laugh out loud.

[faerwain]

Wow, the prison food must be full of vitamines..since when is Elan able to do convincing bluff dialogues? And who would have thought that we would see so much different emotions in such short time? Crying, furious..all from the person who we have thought to ever dance carelessly through life.
I have the nagging feeling Rich tries to trick us into taking the little minstrel seriously...

Woot for 3 strip overkill! Plot, gags,and movie references..totally worth the waiting!

EDIT: 8 people posting while I'm typing! We are all a little crazy around here, aren't we? *goes to bed now*

[skreweded]

Yay!!!

Prison change thog quickly.



Now... why the leprecon suit?

(Ah... it was worth the wait!)

[Trobby]

I think it's pretty obvious why Thog is in a Leprichaun costume guys...

OBVIOUSLY he couldn't just wander around naked. Sheese...:P

Heh...seriously though, that's one powerful half-Orc. O.o; Tearing dat' dere prison wall off and everything...

[Hilbert]

Sweeeeet!

I like the little "idea lantern" in the last panel of the first page.

prison changed thog quickly

Ingenious simplicity.

[SMEE]

Cthulhu! I loved the Hulk reference!
And Thog definitly got the best lines.

: how thog's pants turn blue?

Is just priceless.

Giant, you're great.

[Selvan]

Wow, Elan must have spent some skill-ranks in 'bluff' if he get's away with this 'Vaporizing Flu' story.

Great Comic. Can't wait for the next one on Tuesday.

[The_Old_Fox]

That comic was so full of one-liners that my head my very well explode.

The incredible
Nice

“If you wannabe thog’s lover, you gotta get with thog’s friends….”

[Bloodred]

[Norenche]

how thog's pants turn purple?

priceless

[Konrad]

Hail! First post ever here.
OOTS is really a good comic, but this strip was hilarious and sooo worth the wait!
"And those iron bars? Those iron bars ATE all of Nale's breadcrumbs! And then they punched a clown!"
Best lines ever

[Khantalas]

Now let's go save Haley!

and nale.

Right, and nale.

No capitalization. Is it intentional?

[Turcano]

And those iron bars? Those iron bars ATE all of Nale's breadcrumbs!
what?!?
And then then they punched a clown!
thog hate you, stupid metal bars!

That is pure, unadulterated comedy genius.

[Manga Shoggoth]

Note to self: Next time, rip out lungs before reading comic. It might hurt less. At least it will eliminate the coughing fits.

Maaaan! There was so much to laugh at in this one - hopefully I haven't woken up the rest of the household. And Thog really does seem to be getting the best lines. At least, the best one-liners.

[Samiam303]

I KNEW there was a reason I kept reading this comic... Heh, best comic in a good while.

[kaairn]

OH DEAR GOD NO!!!!!! *runs screaming from Thog singing spice girl songs*

Worth the wait giant, can't wait for the next episode and I am sure Elan has taken a rank of duelist with that ding

[Radome]

Ah, that was so sweet when he said he had to save "my Haley" Good comic Giant.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Ok, at what point did Elan become halfway intelligent?

[Eldritch Knight]

Bwahahahahahaha!!!!! Brilliant! Love the joke in the title too!!! I Love it! Keep up the excellent work, Rich!

[Djagir]

It was scary enough just seeing Elan outwit one person. With Thog, you could sort of justify it. But outwitting three...now he's just getting impressive. :)

[Khantalas]

Now I'm wondering how the Giant will make #400 rock if he uses up all the great ones now.

[Mirage_of_Deceit]

Score 1 for the pyromancer! I finally guessed right on an important plot piece.
Hurrah for triple-comic!

This one wins a special place in my heart.

"prison changed thog quickly"

Hey Axel I didn't know you had an account here :P

[Askenada]

I think far too many people mistake naivety for stupidity.

Also, I don't think Elan's had a reason to put thought and effort into being serious and accomplishing something. I see him as the person who would rather just goof off all the time, but that does not mean that he's incapable or worthless, simply uninspired. Note that when asked why he does certain things, I believe he states that its the bards way at least once.

Now he's inspired, so you can see what happens when he actually stops goofing off.

Also, very good comic. I think my favorite part was Thog noticing his magical color changing pants.

[Warbanner]

I'm not sure which is better, the awesomely hilarious Hulk reference or the fact that so many people already dug it and noted it.

I'm betting we never do hear the story behind the leprechaun costume; it'd almost HAVE to take away from the absurdity of the outfit to explain it. That's just how humor works, folks.

Of course, now the question is, how does Elan save Haley? She's unarmed and unarmored, and they're outnumbered three to two (no way Thog or Sabine are gonna fight against Nale here). Could be a tough spot.

[OmegaDonut]

It's true what they say...

[Thomar_of_Uointer]

But... Leprechaun... And...

Oh, whatever. It's masterful, Giant, and we all are just anxious for the next one even though we want to see it all now. *sob*
