We got "invisible" again just back at the new year's celeb, I am sure it will be around another time...

Roy: What's going on in there?
Haley: Nothing!! Just a minute!
Elan: I'm invisible!

I vote "whatever fits into the story next, please don't force it."

The lawyers! They've been gone for more than 100 strips now.

Church of Banjo. With new class Elan may change his point of view on Banjo.

Explosive runes. They'll just never get old. "Invisibility", Church of Banjo and sacrificing minions are right next on my list.

I voted for Explosive Runes, but Lead Sheet and Sacrificing Minions are close second. What I really don't want to see again are lawyers.

Definitely Belkar's lead sheet. I LOVE Banjo, but the lead sheet is just too hilarious.

Flumphs, definately! :D Poor jelly monsters and their disturbed self esteem :p

I don't see how that one could come back, though -- Miko doesn't need to verify that Belkar is evil; the fact that he's supposed to be in jail is enough cause to go after him on sight.

I want to see the Tentacles of Forced Intrusion again -- V still has that in his repertoire, doesn't he? C'mon ONE more time wouldn't do it to death.

Respectfully,

I want Banjo to come back and Elan to get actual followers but then find out that they plan on sacrificing him to banjo or something

I voted "other" because this should have been a multiple-choice poll.

Agreed. However, I went for the Flumphs because I've always had a soft spot form them.

Also, it amuses me that as of this post the Lawyers are only slightly more popular than the Goblin Teenagers.

Banjo and Runes!!

Runes in an "explosive way", Banjo church, maybe for a short sub-plot

LMFAO, that would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm..... YEAH!!!! Can't believe I didn't think of that......

yeah, that's what we need, jokes on demand so that they are fully expected and predictable.

The flumphs, followed closely by the magical knights --- I mean, lawyers. The Church of Banjo was done so well the first time that any recurrence would be overkill and/or insufficient.

I'd contribute something to this thread, but the post I quoted already has me covered.

Lawyers. they're so random.
Also belkar's lead sheet!

I voted for the lawyers, but I wanted to vote for most of them....

I dislike the lawyers.

On the other hand, I like magic, explosions, and explosive magic. My choice, therefore, should be obvious.

What I wouldn't mind seeing.. would be a Return of the Lawyers, and at the same time, the return of Explosive Runes, and/or Spiked Tentacles.

Wallyz

2007-01-20, 12:08 AM

Better yet, the lawyers getting hit with the spiked tentacles, right before they read the runes.

I thought that was implied.

I had forgotten about it until I read #403, but Illusionary Belkar and his Generic Insults! We really needed that to show back up and it is stone cold... funny!

Au contraire! Banjo manifested an actual (granted very teeny tiny) lightning bolt, with just one devout worshiper, not even a cleric. Heck, not even a smidgen of a Wisdom score. I think the whole "gods are created by belief" thing opens up tons o' potential. But basically I just want to see what the guy's personality turns out to be... What traits will Elan's subconscious attribute to a banjo-strummin' puppet/clown god? Can Banjo defeat the Snarl where the established gods couldn't?
Anyway, make mine Banjo!

Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion...

Performed on Miko...

While she (for some reason or another) is wearing a schoolgirl uniform

Ah, yes. That would be the best appearance of lawyers so far.

I don't know whether to be laughing, angered, or turned on o.O; I watch too much anime.

The only one I think I never want to see again is Haley losing her voice. Those were the lowest comics for me in 400 issues. I didn't really enjoy having to hunt down the translations (cause I didn't have any interest in doing them myself) every time she opened her mouth. That's a gag that just went on too long.

But I DID like her other personalities. I thought they were great! Maybe next time she withdraws into herself she can still speak so that we, the reader can understand (like in italics or something). That would be enjoyable.

I definetly would like to see " answering the mails" stuff once again

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0033.html
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html
It was hilarious, and Belkar comentaries are great....
But they propably won't fit well now with this world saving- plot stuff.

:haley: Ninja vs Pirate the age- old debate
:belkar: by "age old" she means " showed up on the Internet like two yeas ago, at most"

:vaarsuvius: Back to you, sir Greenhilt
:roy: The kitchen...

I'd like to see most of 'em back... but the lawyers..? What the hell is with that? The jokes i like best are Vaarsuvius' Explosive Runes and Belkar's Lead Sheet... It not only blocks Detect Evil, but also knocks out paladins!

Alysar

2007-01-21, 08:34 AM

Ok, just for you. How about this? For some reason that Giant would undoubtedly find a good reason for, Miko is wearing a schoolgirl uniform or something that looks a lot like one. V, unable to restrain his/herself or his/her amusement, begins to cast "Evan's Spiked ..." just as Roy comes running up behind panicked and clasps his hand over V's mouth.

Lithitemir

Well, now if it does happen then it won't be as funny.. Because we already disscussed the possibilities.

I voted Other, meaning All of the Above except the goblin teenagers. Seriously, we don't need to go back down that road...

nizwiz

2007-01-21, 07:59 PM

I've voted for "sacrificing minions", but actually I liked the umbrella monster wondering about gates most.
Oh yes, and I can't get enough of those speaking roaches.

At any rate, there should definitely be more :xykon:-related stuff, IMO.

Cleverdan22

I don't see how that one could come back, though -- Miko doesn't need to verify that Belkar is evil; the fact that he's supposed to be in jail is enough cause to go after him on sight.
Hey, i didn't say he needed it for Detect Evil, just that the sheet should return...
