[Nazzo, the 102nd]

After a quick re-reading... 213 for me.

"And don't you feel stupid now?!?"

[phobiandarkmoon]

#211, all the way - it has great comic timing

[Spiryt]

The choice is... tough.

213


For Belkar's interesting ways of spending skill points.
" I didn't think it would come up!'

[Porthos]

215:

The beginnings of the end of Roy's fixation with Miko....

[Abacab]

A vote for212, Sir.

"Exactly when did you become the ultimate authority on me? If you took everything you don't know about me and put it together, it would get a -16 size penalty to AC."

This is a beautiful quote by Haley because it foreshadows about her character and her background.

[Hel65]

212. Bump uglies.

[Twilight Jack]

Make mine 213. With every single comic having at least one great line, I have to choose based upon total effect. Belkar as the skill-less Ranger, and berating Roy for it, is absolutely priceless.

[Avatar God]

214 it is...

But many funny ones, as always.

[Jamie Fameflame]

213

"..."

"I'll be in the back"

[David Argall]

214

213 is a close 2nd, but I go with the next one.

[LordVader]

#211. Classic Belkar.
"Clearly, it is my work to smite these wretched abominations."
"I agree. We should hunt down and destroy them."
"Sounds like a plan, boss!" "If I may make a suggestion, we should start with the outlying farms, and then sweep in to wipe out the shops and taverns and suchlike." *angry stares* "Oh wait, did you mean we should kill the ogres? Never mind, then."
Like I said- Belkar at his finest.

[BobTheDog]

#213 does it for me.

The good old "oh, crap, I knew I should've invested the skill points there" with a Belkar twist.

[TroyXavier]

211....Belkar just wins it here.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

#215. The last panel I could both relate with and totally cracked me up.

[Tolkien_Freak]

212. Everyone agrees, except, you know, not.

[Fraz-Urb'luu]

I would have to go with 212, although they are all good.

[chpicker]

211. Definitely.

[Bremen]

I'd say 215.

[Fawkes]

215. No contest.

Love is an epic-level challenge.

[Parasocrates]

I have to say 211. Nothing beats Belkar equating poor and helpless peasants with wretched abominations.

By the way, shouldn't this be a poll?

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

By the way, shouldn't this be a poll?

It would be if polls were not disabled in the forums for now.

[Vargtass]

I settle for 212. Close call again...

[Holy_Knight]

I think it's got to be 212 for "The proper term is "smite evil", not "bump uglies"." That's one of the best lines in the comic, I've always thought.

[Icewalker]

I'm thinking 213. Tough one though.

[RMS Oceanic]

212. "Bump Uglies" is too classic a line to pass up. Tough choice, though.

[warmachine]

212. Bump uglies. Love it.

[Kreistor]

213 and have to say something to make the message long enough to post.

[Jarwy]

212, dirt farming... *snicker*

[Vulion]

215, for me. The last panel just killed me.
