Hmmm...

Two of the three petrified creatures in this comic have ended up falling on, or almost falling on, someone. Here and here.

Makes me wonder who this guy is going to land on...

...just a silly thought...

Rich just jumped the shark with this last panel. There is unrealistic, there is unbelievable, there is suspension-of-disbelief-shattering and then there is... this.

I mean, two more Lawful Good lawyers in the same comic? Come on. Celia was already one too many.

Thanks for the comic, Giant!

So... I think there was some mix up in that last line of panels... I guess the cast coordinator was exhausted or something.

Adjourn is spelled differently from in the strip.

Good strip though.

So worth the wait. :D

The Flumphs appear to be learning. They may want to get out of the court as soon as possible though. It's vicious in there.

Jones and Rodriguez now have a promising new career as "Fall Guys!"

I find the best humor is to use a running gag but then running it in a way that the audience did not expect it to. This strip qualifies. Nice job.

Well, Durkon *wasn't* having any legal problems. The situation probably changed the moment his teammate dropped his other teammate on a pair of lawyers.

But I dinnae know she was going ta fall on ye!

:lawyer: So you can definitively prove that you didn't lure me under your teammate so that he could drop your other teammate on top of me? Or would you just like to settle?

This is why OOTS is awesome. In one page we have a hefty increase in dramatic tension and at the same point it's friggin' hilarious. >_>

He can escape if he has Gaseous form learned.

Its the only possible escape I can think of, well that or using a wand if he has enough in UMD. Haley can`t reach Sabine from that distance so its up to him.

Great comic.

When I saw the lawyers talking to Durkon, I expected his entry papers to get mentioned, but I loved the twist
