I immediately noticed that Belkar did not chop off a single head.
Perhaps that one was for those relatively recent posts saying Belkar could not possibly chop off heads with rules as written.

There's a rule for chopping off heads?
 

I am not one of the Belkarnagers. Belkar is one of my favorites.

I did not even think twice about him chopping off heads until a few people on previous posts brought it up. I was just wondering if this is an indirect response to some of those recent posts.

Personally I think flying heads are much more dramatic.
 

Drawing all of the bodies the same way is probably easier than drawing some beheaded and some not beheaded. He did chop off a hobgoblin's leg in panel 2, which you also can't do in D&D, so I don't think this is any intentional change in the way Rich draws.

Also, maybe beheading represents a critical, and he didn't crit during this strip.

Oh, no, I LOVE that line. Love it!

But one great line does not a great comic make. Sure, it might cut it for some lesser webcomic, but this is Order of the Stick, the creme de la creme. It is held to a higher standard. What would be an awesome comic for someone else is a mediocre one for Burlew.
