In case people didn't know there was a small reference to The Order of the Stick in today's installment of Girl Genius:

http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20070321

It's a billboard in lower left corner. In fact, all of the billboards in today's (and Monday's (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20070319)) spread are references to various webcomics.

I wonder what the pies at Rich's restaurant taste like? :smalltongue:

EDIT:::

This is a list of the webcomics referenced over the two days, as near as I can tell:

Girls With Slingshots
Wapsi Square
Gunnerkrigg Court
Arcane Times
Something Positive
Dominic Deegan
Home on the Strange
The Devil's Panties
Buck Godot
The Order of the Stick
Namir Deiter
Digger
Freefall
Shortpacked!
Questionable Content
Bob the Angry Flower
Lackadaisy

Plus what looks to be a statue of Mosp from Sluggy Freelance (its one of the gargoyles in Monday's strip). There also might be another one in the far right lower corner of today's strip, but I can't quite make it out... (<----figured out the last one and added it to the list)

hmm, I recognize some of those, but not all. I'll bookmarks the comics, and maybe next week I'll look in on them and see if they're almost as good as OotS!

Thanks. :smallsmile: I figured it out just before I saw your post and added it to the list. It was very scrunched up and it took me a while to properly google it. Of course, once I found it I knew I found the right match. :smallbiggrin:

Hello all Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/index.php) fans, look closely to the funny little ads on the side of the road in today's new strip (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ggmain/doublespreads/ggcoll07_010_012.html) !

Kudos to Rich who has achieved enough renown to have Phil include him in his comic. :smallsmile:

P.S. You did not find the ads ? OK look here (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20070323)

The enlargement didn't work for me, and I had to stick my face right into my monitor to make them out, but I found it in the end.

Nice. The circle is now complete; I mentioned Phil's old "What's New with Phil & Dixie" in my Dragon Magazine version of OOTS a few months back.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Belkar's cameo in Something Positive, though...

(I merged the two threads on the same topic here.)

Missed that one! URL?

... and found it: Rich's news item seems to suggest Belkar is the angry little fellow on the screen in the first box on http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp03122007.shtml
