Belkar is the in the funny group... with lots of strong personalities

the other one looks real dull and boring to follow...

I hope this does not happen. There is just too much going on with Xykon and redcloak and MitS and linear guild...

I don't want it to be harder to raise Roy. Roy's my favorite character.

"Not resurrected" does not mean "not in the strip". I want Roy raised too, but I want to see lots of afterlife hijinks first, and that won't happen if Durkon raises him tomorrow morning.

If Roy gets raised right away, it will annoy me more because his death will have accomplished nothing but taking him away for 30+ strips, for no reason.

But each group only gets half the time. Not sure I see anyone getting more screen time out of it.

If we were following Durkon's group for 20 strips, there's a higher percentage that there would be more Durkon screen time in there because there would be less characters to have to deal with. Right now, any time Rich keeps any character off-screen for more than 3 strips, the masses scream about where their favorite character is. A split-up would remove the pressure to show every character every few strips to keep fans sated. They would know that, "OK, now we're going to look in at these people for a while, you shouldn't expect to see the others for a bit."

I foresee Haley, Belkar, and Roy (eventually) in one group; Durkon, Elan, and Hinjo in the other. V could wind up in either, but I'd guess the former.

Huh? Whya this strange foresight? Roy won't be in any group as long as Haley (with Belkar) brings his remains to Durkon, which means that if there is a Roy, the group is reunited.

And good for that guard; he's going to get himself a cup of absolutely. Giggity-goo.

Assuming they don't get killed at the docks...

In other news...

Durkon has just coined the perfect pronoun for Vaarsuvius: "'E"

"Not resurrected" does not mean "not in the strip".

It does, however, mean "not in the group".

I must admit I didn't notice the tramp stamp until I took a double take. That is what I love about this comic...despite the stick figures there is detail and depth to the story.

I must admit I didn't notice the tramp stamp until I took a double take.

I wonder if it is a tattoo -- it's too high to be a tramp-stamp. If it's a birthmark, like the heart-shaped birthmark that shows up on the rightful heir to the throne, that could be interesting.

If you look *really* closely, there's an I before the heart and something else written after it.

I (heart) GP?

I just hope the redshirts make it out alive...
