Frudu, Samwose, and the OotS

[GreatWyrmGold]

I recently looked at this strip (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0415.html). Why am I bringing this up? Look at the last panel, more specifically in the crystal ball. Now look at the last panel of the most recent comic (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0672.html), more specifically towards the Western Continent. Some people think it's another sun, but more people think it's because of a different colored atmosphere or dust.
They look similar in atmospere, do they not?
Thus, I think Samwose and Frudu are on the Western Continent...and possibly out to meet a group of characters.
:vaarsuvius::durkon::belkar::elan::haley::roy:, in no particular Order.of the Stick!

[theinsulabot]

theoretically, even if those two losers were on the western continent, by now they finished hucking the damn thing into the volcano and have left by now

[Astrella]

Well, the glow in the Frudu - Samwose scene is probably due to the volcano, rather then a different coloured atmosphere.

If they don't live there. And what makes you call them "losers"? I wonder if the Giant said something I missed about that...

I guess it could be...but the similarity is striking, no?

[NerfTW]

I think the glow is the sun.

The giant white object is supposed to be the moon.


And the first person who says "you can't see the moon when the sun is out" gets smacked.

You can't see a full moon when the sun is out.

the "giant white object" is actually yellow, and, while it could be the moon, if the glow was a sunset, the rest of the sky would probably be glowing, too.

[Cizak]

Hmm, have we actually seen them in any other strip online?

We have seen them
In SoD (well not Samwose, Frudu and the wizard) and in OotPC (Again no Samwose, but you know what I mean).

[David Argall]

Frudu - Samwose have their own plot to take care of. We may see them again, but it will be just another quick comic.

Would you mind please to remind me
Where they appear on SoD?

[Brauley]

There should be a filler comic with them in.

Also first page of Dungeon Crawling fools

I'm going to go with "running gag" personally. Though if the Ming actually turns out to be a plot relevant artifact as the OP's link suggests, I will be awed.

[Linkavitch]

Excellent observation. However, I think it was mostly just coincidence.

[Elfin]

Agreed. In the real work, the skies in Gondor are not the same colour as the sky viewed from the slopes of Orodruin.

it is plot relevant. But only to the lord of the mings.:smallbiggrin:

before you ask. Yes I had to.

[Prowl]

Oh dear.

About the hobbits... I've got some bad news. (http://lfgcomic.com/page/32)

[Raging Gene Ray]

Their entire reason for existing is to give Order of the Stick a pun reference. I'd feel like a loser if I knew that was all my entire life had been leading up to.



About the hobbits...

HALFLINGS! Wanna get sued?

[Tempest Fennac]

I'm curious about where they appeared in SoD as well. Regarding the moon, I've sometimes seen full, or at least nearly full, moons during the day.

Thanks to you, I laughed so hard a perfectly good sip of Pepsi was distributed across the screen.

Er...glad? to hear it...But I was being seriousish...

Never read it, but I hear that a Gandalf-like wizard is among the cameos appearing in the line to apply for a job in the Order when Roy starts recruiting - oh, wait, that was Origin of the PCs.

But I doubt they'd ever appear again. They were a throw away gag. Nothing more. Them returning would make about as much sense as the FFVI characters showing up again, or Cyclops and the other X-Men aiding the OotS or Azurites.

There's a better case to be made for their re-appearance than for that of the FFVI characters or Cyclops because we've already seen them 3 times. I don't recall their being in SoD, but both Frudu and the Gandalf counterpart appear in Origin, and apparently also in Dungeon Crawling Fools bonus material, though I haven't read that. It's getting to be a running joke, so if there's another opportunity for comparison between OOTS and LotR, we might see them.

[multilis]

"...9 mings for the Greek Gods doomed to die,"
"One for the Chaos Lord on his Chaos throne,"
"In the inner planet where the confusion lies,"
"One ming to rule them all, one ming to find them..."


..."Perhaps we do not know everything we ought to regarding this task which we are undertaking"


"The Greek Gods... were seduced by the Chaos Side of the Force. They ceased to be Gods and *became* Mini Snarls. When that happened, the good Gods who made you were destroyed. So what I told you was true... from a certain point of view."

"A certain point of view?"

[Mystic Muse]

{Scrubbed}

This isn't funny at all. The thing it mentions happening to Gandalf at the end happened to a friend of mine and probably a bunch of other people's

[nysisobli]

I would like to apologize, about the link in the earlier in the thread, i did not watch the video all the way through, and may have upset some of you. I would like to apologize.

Im sorry

*If* OotS involves some sort of parody of LotR... there were only a few ways into Mordor, guarded by *gates*.

The black hordes invaded middle earth from those gates, the main army of course was barely defeated by Gondor, another army was held off by the elves (that attack included Saurons forces in mirkwood), and a third army *defeated the dwarves*.

[Cizak]

Would you mind please to remind me
Where they appear on SoD?

The wizard and Frudu appear on the page where various people tell Roy "no".

[Optimystik]

The wizard and Frudu appear on the page where various people tell Roy "no".

That's Origin, not SoD.

[The Bookworm]

The wizard and Frudu appear on the page where various people tell Roy "no".
That's in OotPCs.

[Cizak]

That's in OotPCs.

...
Omg of course it is :smalleek: I knew that! Wtf...?
