New OotS

[jeffh]

Eh, it's more of a Brick Joke, that occasionally Thor (or his servants) mishear Durkon and try to send something very inappropriate.
Goes all the way back to comic #7 (Giant In the Playground Games)

Not really a counterargument to anything Squire James said.

And I happen to agree with him, this is the first OotS in quite some time that hasn't worked for me on some level. The last panel sacrifices all pretense of story plausibility for a joke that, at least IMO, isn't even all that good.

(Maybe because I put myself in the player's position, even though I know that officially there isn't one, and think how violently I would object to a DM doing this.)

Yeah, the punch line wasn't funny in the slightest, overall bad strip. Again, seems like the comic's only good anymore when Tarquin has speaking lines.

Besides, is it just me, or has Durkon become the The Short End of the Stick in this webcomic? About 20 strips pass by without him, and when he does show up he immediately gets level-drained and loses "several important combat spells". Then he has his deity play stupid on him... now I suppose the Giant will actually start paying attention to Break Enchantment's 10-minute casting time now that a protagonist is attempting it (not to mention Restoration spells with their shorter but still combat-prohibitive casting times).

And Daddy Tarquin seemed so intelligent and perceptive, and is now acting so unresponsive to his biggest enemies fighting within his own castle...
