OOTS #341 - The Discussion Thread

[The Giant]

New comic is up.

A note: I'm going to try going back to an automated update script as of this week, so these threads might not appear the moment the comic is up. Discussion threads can be created by any poster, though only one will be kept open if multiples are created simultaneously.

[BelkarsDagger]

Awsome. Comic.

ooo Candy Land! thog loves Candy Land!

[Ryshan Ynrith]

Quite funny. :)

Especially the "upstaged" line. :)

[Straun]

Yay, it's here! And there was much rejoicing! And first page!

CJ

[Josh_Kablack]

Yet Again, Thag is frighteningly on target in representing my day at work

[Arky]

Trees are shady? Naturally.

I grin most heartily!

[HypnoticMonk]

FINALLY!! :::whew:::

an average strip in the series UNTIL the last panel which made me laugh outloud!!

btw a 1st page-ish geeky glow has come over me ;)

(and what exaxtly DID Elan "spy"?)

[Hario]

The half-orc really satisfies the evilness of nale.. well done...

[Valonius]

A more pertinant question I'm trying to figure out... What exactly does Elan see?

;)

Good punchline though. I'll never forget how Plumpy comes to snach defeat from the jaws of victory. ;D

[Flyerfye]

WOOT FIRST PAAAAAAAAAGEE!!! Ya good Stuff, gotta love the Orc

[Zenith]

i wonder if what Elan's spied is anything important? :-/

Woot - First post and first page

[Erathia]

I object, I try to remember that Thog is evil but no one who loves Candyland can be evil!

[brother_1]

All of the truly memorable childhood icons have a hint of evil.

Let us not forget that candy causes tooth rot.

[Screech]

Haha nice work there im sure there is plenty more words begining with I that u could use to insualt Elan hehe

[Axl_Rose]

Woo page 1!

Well, the whole setup of that scene was pretty cool =)

[soni]

yay! Thog makes an appearance!

[Sign_of_Fourteen]

This had better be first page...

EDIT:

No! So close!

Anyway, funny. Liked the 'shady' pun, and I wonder what this 'candy land' game actually entails...

[Shynthriir]

Darn it! Almost first page --

I donno, makes you wonder WHAT Elan really sees? It causes me mental pain -- I need coffee!

I'm also curious as to how the linear guild will not be able to see the rest of the OoTS saying that most of them, namely V and Durken are kinda in plain sight.

[Platinum_Mongoose]

I get the feeling that "what Elan spied" is going to become a popular debate on this thread. I might as well kick it off.

How about... Inter-continental Ballistic Missile?
Too far-fetched?

By the way, I loooooved that "wide shot" of the square.

[LordOfNarf]

Yay for upstaging half orcs!!

Is it jsut me, or is the shouting for help thing goin to be more a plot element than it seems to suggest.

Ohhh, haley's new secret, a deep, unrequitted love for Roy....

Too far feched maybe?

[theKOT]

Ahh gumdrop mountain. Truly the most majestic of peaks......

Huh, it's funny, ever since Miko left, I don't really have much emotional investment in these characters. I find the plot line interesting and the jokes funny, but I don't feel as though I NEED to know what happens next.

Ah, but I ramble on. This strip gets a 6.5/10.

[eheins]

Hmm.

Important plot point?

Ideal spot for an ambush?

Infernal being? (could relate to Sabine...)

Interloper?

Inspector? (maybe the CPPD are on the job...)

INCOMING! (It would be just like Elan, to notice, but fail to give warning...)

[Sc00by]

I liked it!

I loved the 'wide shot' and thog steals the show - as always. ;)

I'm sure this isn't going to go well for our intrepid heros (hey it starts with an 'I')

Iguana?
Insect?
though I did like ICBM!

[mikeyq6]

Ah... Durkon and his irrational fear of trees... I was wondering how he felt about parks and such. Perhaps as a child he was tormented by Treants, or some other sylvan creature... is funny all the same! :)

[Arkadian]

The pieces are set...the games afoot...Our adventures are prepped for anything...and once again...Rich manages to keep us in forever suspence!

hehe...wouldn't have it anyway ;D

[SumGuy]

Yay Thog! To answer Nale: No.

[Flashlight_Fish]

I get the feeling that "what Elan spied" is going to become a popular debate on this thread.

That's funny because when I read it I thought "I must be missing something really obvious...guess it's just me."

[LTDave]

Knowing Elan, what he "Spies with his little eye" probably doesn't begin with the letter I.
Also, this rhyme is different to how I would say it. Is this version standard in the US?

And suddenly Hayley's teenage angst returns from nowhere? That's got to be a narrative point.
Personally, the sooner she starts talking again the better for the strip - she's too important a character to keep from interacting witht he others.

[Lostboy]

I... I.... hmmmm.....

Incoming?

[Pheldagriff]

perhaps it is just a bad pun, I foggily remember a movie called "I-Spy" or something
