OotS #364 Is Up

[Aaron L]

You know, as much as everyone complains when there is less humor and more story in the strip... I'm really confused. I've never found OotS to be that much funny at all (sometimes, but generally not so much), but I think the story is interesting and thats the primary reason I read it.


I guess thats just me, though. I see people saying they are falling over themselves laughing or spitting various liquids on their monitors at jokes that, frankly, aren't funny.


Bah. Sorry, Ive been awake for 26 hours and my leg feels like a 3 and a half foot long toothache.


My favorite character is Roy.

Fixed it for you.

I actually think Belkar will see through Nales disguise, but not care, for his own evil reasons.

I think Nale will grow tired of the OOTS not noticing how hard he is working trying to be Elan. He'll just suddenly stop and yell "I'm NALE, you IDIOTS!"

If Nale is surprised that Roy and Julia don't want to kill one another, then why would he have kidnapped her in the first place?

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Uh... He didn't kidnap her, she was a willing accomplice that had a sudden change of heart.

Actually, Klaus, you have to go back a ways--I mean a long ways--to find it. But Julia was, indeed, kidnapped.

Oh, yeah! And then she agreed on helping because it involved embarassing Roy. It's all coming back to me (in a non-Celine Dion kinda way).

While I don't view every strip as fall down laughing funny. The strip has hilarious moments. My friends and I are still laughing about the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity showing up in the first few strips, then making a comeback 300 strips later.

The author does a great job of mentioning an interesting nugget of information, burying it, then rediscovering it like a piece of hidden treasure.

Also, the references to the game rules and 3.x D&D "inside jokes" can be very funny.

Ultimately I read it because it's well written, witty, tongue in cheek and funny.

How ticked will Roy be when Haley makes him go all the way back to get Elan after they find they have Nale ?

 

[Mouseferatu]

Random thought:

Everyone's wondering about how the OotS will figure out that it's Nale with them.

I think it would be interesting, instead, if Elan--fearful for the safety of his friends--showed a brief flash of competence, escaped from Cliffport, and caught up with the party.

In either case, though, I really hope Rich doesn't take too long to resolve the issue. I'm not a fan of long-running "mistaken identity" plotlines, and I'd really like to get back to the "main plot" of the campaign, as it were.
