OOTS #676 - The Discussion Thread

[Trobby]

Does anyone else think that Belkar is doing this on purpose? Just to piss off Roy? Or does anyone think he is serious?

That's like asking if Elan is really as dumb as he seems to be, or how many licks it will take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop.



The world may never know.

[lothos]

Was Roy's decision to turn down all three ladies morally justified ?

Ok, let's not have a thread for that.

Not a bad comic. A smile rather than a loud laugh. An interlude between classics.

on the next strip: haley demanding a refund from a vermin dealer

[SteveDJ]

Well, I thought it was funny. I also have liked the titles of the last few strips - I was even starting to chuckle just reading the title of this strip, before reading the strip itself.

Nice job!

[Swordguy]

"Just trying to stay current."

Well played, Giant. Well played.

[Balkash]

My gold says Elan adopts at least one of them and then Mr Fluffy eats it.

[Charles Phipps]

A girlfriend who can shoot lightning out of her fingers, I'd imagine.

What happens in Western continent, stays in Western continent.

[Milskidasith]

That was amusing, although I'd kind of been expecting a more story driven strip.

[Herald Alberich]

So, the joke about "staying current" is a reference to 4th edition's well-endowed depictions of reptilian races? I'm trying to compose this strip's entry for Non-Mammal Mammaries, and I want to be sure.

edit: Nevermind, it works better with a simple link without getting into the details of the joke.

On another note - "rub down your potion factory for you." I can't decide whether to be amused or disturbed; whether the innuendo is clever and creative or just ... gah. Craft Disturbing Mental Image at work, I suppose.

[shadowxknight]

The last panel was was hilarious.

[Raging Gene Ray]

My gold says Elan adopts at least one of them and then Mr Fluffy eats it.

My gold says he adopts one, Mr. Scruffy eats it. He mourns and adopts a second one...Belkar eats it. This goes on for a few hours until all the mammals are gone.

Is Mr. Fluffy Beklar's aminal conpanion?

EDIT: The mention of 4e and Lizardboobs reminded me of a few comics Holammer did for the Evil OotS thread featuring the Good Linear Guild:

I'm really patting my own back over the speech bubble solution between panels 2&5.

Chinchillas are cute (and Mr. Scruffy surely thinks so, too! :D), gophers are cute. :) That's already fine with me. And did nobody notice how oddly helpful Belkar is trying to be, and yet he still can't help being the same in very certain ways? XD Hilarious.

[FoE]

How ... did they find that many gophers in the desert? o_O

I'll have to remember the scaly line if I ever play dragonborn.

[Olorin Maia]

I think this comic completely redeemed the last few that kinda fell flat. I thought it was absolutely wonderful.

[Optimystik]

I get the feeling that "helpful Belkar" is even more useless than "psycho Belkar" was.

Well, useless at non-stabbing ventures, anyway.

[Kayeich]

Heh, funny comic. The chinchilla bit also got an -extra- laugh out of me, because in World of Warcraft, one of the better addons that can be used to modify the utility of the map is called Chinchilla.

[Ikkitosen]

Fork handles anyone?

Pretty sure he's doing it on purpose.

I don't get it .

Now that's still kind of funny even though you had to explain it. I wonder if it was intentional.

[Jimorian]

Prediction: at some point in the future, somebody will utter the line, "If only we had some chinchillas..."

[RMS Oceanic]

I don't get it .

A classic The Two Ronnies sketch:

RB: (Broad accent) I'll have four candles.
RC: Here you are.
RB: What's this?
RC: It's what you asked for, isn't it?
RB: Four candles! 'andles for forks!

I still don't get it. What do candles and forks have to do with one another?

It's a spoken joke. It would be simpler if you watched it.

Ah! Now I get it!

[Captain Alien]

Oh man, that was really funny. I liked this one a lot.

[Killer Angel]

Sex taint... LOL
Thanks, Giant.

[thunderclan]

I loved this comic. The gopher/chinchilla thing was awesome and its nice to see Belkar being his usual not-paying-attention self.

[Rhydeble]

they are not four candles

they are fourc andles (fork handles)

[Owl]

Hooray for topless lizard stick figure hooker babe! In full color!

[Thant]

Good comic, like in the old days, props.
