Is there a specific meaning to the X-axis?

I assume that's the time line. The story must take place in the year 1184 of the game world.

I love it. Great how Roy delivers to the practical smackdown to the Lawful Intolerant.

I'm glad I read this one before I went to work, or my office mates would have thought I'd lost it from all snorting and laughing. The Cruella/Sauron pairing is brilliantly incongruous -- I don't know how people come up with that stuff.

It's the axis of evil.

It's the axis of evil.

Lol.

So, what was the little *blip* in Belkar's line at the end of 1184?

 

[diaglo]

Lol.

So, what was the little *blip* in Belkar's line at the end of 1184?

the guard he killed. he used the blood to paint a message.

 

[Balgus]

Lol.

So, what was the little *blip* in Belkar's line at the end of 1184?

Belkar torturing Miko and making her lose her paladinhood and her mount, and YikYik and YakYak ad using his head for a chip bowl. Plus countless Hobos he killed out of pleasure.

 

[crazy_cat]

Yeah, everyone loves Belkar because he's good for a laugh, but in character he's just Chaotic Stupid.

Or Chaotic Funny as it's also known, especially when observed from a distance.

I was wondering how Roy was going to get out of this. I wonder if the celestial handling his case was shocked that a fighter had a logical and well-thought out rebuttal to the charge, considering the typical "dumb fighter" stereotype.

I'm trying to decide if the KiloNazis or Cruella/Sauron offspring is the funniest part of the strip. Although I can imagine this exchange at someone's gaming table....

"What's his KiloNazi rating?"
"It's over 9000!!!"

 

[Ridley's Cohort]

The, um, <whisper>Mindflayer</whisper> rated Roy a tastier meal than V. So he has a lot a brains by every measure.
