Bleah. I was really enjoying the strip this time. "Druids always pick the hard way. It encourages Natural Selection." Classic!

But the end scene is really revolting. Add the final 5 panels to why I really dislike what Belkar brings to the strip. Add the last one to why I personally feel Rich went too far with this one.

He's still got a great strip. But for me he crossed a line in this one I'd have rather he not crossed.

[sblock]Only if you assume that the "chunky salsa" is actually part of Yok-Yok. I think it's exactly what Belkar says it is: Salsa. That's exactly the kind of thing he'd do to freak out Roy, and we know from past strips that he's got a halfling's palette, with all the need for good food that requires.

As far as using Yok-Yok's head as a dish, sure, icky. But no more so than wearing Yik-Yik's head as a hat. ;)[/sblock]

[Sblock]Actually, I did assume it was salsa. The tail coming out of the salsa was a bit distasteful. And using the head as a bowl was about as revolting as using the head as a hat in a prior strip. I find both rather revolting, personally. Just not my kind of humor.

I am normally a huge supporter of Rich, but this strip I just felt the need to speak a voice of reason. It isn't like I'll quite reading the strip. I'll just add it to the reasons I don't enjoy Belkar as a character.[/Sblock]

That is, in essence, the point of the character, though. You're not supposed to like him. You're supposed to dislike him. He's there to foster conflict and show contrast between characters without having to rely on an external 'badguy' agency.
 

Err, I can't be alone in enjoying Belkar eating chips out of Yok-yok's head, can I? Eh, eh? :)

I liked it. Extra-chunky, good stuff!
