OotS #788 is up!

[Orius]

"No matter how many people he kills, the audience still thinks he's lovable." Heh.

Hmm, is that a crack at OotS fans I see there? Nah, can't be.

Of course, it's Rich's fault for characterizing Thog the way he did. Yes, he's a murderous thug. But he likes puppies and ice cream! Or how about the antipenultimate panel here? And there's some of the bizarre stuff he's done too, like the rocket skates, the leprechaun outfit, the giant wooden alpaca stuffed with potato salad.... I don't think he's lovable, but he's great comic relief.

The next few strips should be pretty good.
