I wonder if the anagram was intentional?

The Gnome was named (rearranged) Lost Glory - urk!

for the strip.
but in D&D goblins ain't green.

They aren't? In every movie I've seen and game I've been in, they were green.

they never have been in D&D.

edit: they range from yellow to dull orange upto brick red in skin color.

Also, geez. That gnome sure is dense - gnomes don't talk to foxes, they talk to burrowing animals.

Um, foxes live in burrows. It's where the term "fox-hole" comes from.

At least, I hope it is. The alternative doesn't bear contemplating.

*goes to check rulebooks*

Huh, I always thought of them as green, always heard them described as green by DM's, even saw them drawn as green in fan-made D&D art. Ten years of D&D and I'd never noticed that they weren't that way officially.

I guess "Goblins are green skinned" is an incredibly common house rule, one of those rules so common that everyone assumed they were that way.

My apologies, I thought we were discussing the strip

LOL ...

I just noticed that Belkar is wearing the Gnome's hat

 

[barrowwight]

Is it just me or does Belker look like the jack in the box icon with the hat on?

 

[Ghostwind]

I woke up my wife by accident over the Fox news joke.
Best strip in a long while...

Heh. To quote myself on #538, "Sometimes, the problem Belkar is trying to solve with bloodshed is 'not enough bloodshed'." Or something like that.
