[The Giant]

Last few comics were awfully wordy. Enjoy.

[somatic]

Gah! He has given up his awesome hiding space and now the she-devil has a shot at him! Curses!

[Dhavaer]

Hooray for lack of pepper!
I loved the expression on Belkar's face when he climbed out.

Oh, and so as to uphold tradition: Woot! First page, etc, etc.

[Vitellio]

I'll stop lurking in order to compliment you on the quality of your last comics!
It's soms weeks that each one surpasses the one before it!

And nice save for belkar in his hobbit-taste!
now it's time to sneak and finish her!
GOGOGO!

[Maryring]

Woohoo. That one was hilarious. The expressions of both the combatants at all times were simply priceless.

And first page yattayattayatta. There. Done.

[team56th]

First page. Yay!!!

This strip, too, was cool. It seems like Belkar will escape Azure city...

[Oorlof]

Huzzah! Cool comic, Giant. "Meanwhile, outside..." Now, the question rises...do they throw away the soup, now that it's been Belkarized?

[Karellen]

Ah, more Belkar vs. Miko! So, the question is - is this the premature end of the duel, or will we get an actual winner?

[phlip]

Now, the million-dollar question: will Miko realise Belkar isn't kersplat? Or will she just leave him for dead?

Tune in next time to find out!
Or... maybe not...

Tune in next time to find out whether or not we'll find out!


Personally I doubt Miko'd leave him without a Smite Evil or two...

[zzyss]

How come Miko still has hair?

[Dhavaer]

How come Miko still has hair?

Damage doesn't seem to affect apprarance apart from scars and so on.

[Ikkitosen]

How come Miko still has hair?

Because unless they're using the Wound Point system, HP loss doesn't lead to scarring except for flavour :).

Great comic Giant, go Belkar!!

[RBloom0566]

To paraphrase an old saying...
"Out of the soup pot and ON TO THE STABLE!!!"

[tis_tom]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :D

Go Miko! Kick that evil little halfling's ass!!!

[Ilover_Juventad]

IRON CHEF! WOOOOO!

Hahaha, lots of laughs! Great one!

[brummeren]

What's with the soup?

[diapsid]

And on that day, humans discovered the delicious taste of halfling...In the soup wars that followed, the casualties were astronomical...not a single hobbit went uneaten...

Great comic as usual Rich!

[nerve]

soup 4 one:

same procedure as last fight, miko?
same procedure as EVERY fight, belkar..!

;D

[Vargtass]

How come Miko still has hair?

If she's been able to squeeze in the occasional lay-on-hands, the burns would probably also be the first to heal (if there's a choice). After all, it seems the saké only provided normal fire (as could be expected).

I have a question: Does Halfling drop soup refer to something other than the obvious (Some kind of wordplay that I'm missing? My kitchen-English is not as updated as I would like it to be. Otherwise, the soup looks like Swedish yellow pea soup, but then the arrak-liqueur (punsch) is what's missing)?

[Freelance Henchman]

Ha! Take that Belkar! Go Miko!

I doubt the fight is over. This has to end in blood. (Halfling blood, heh heh! :-) )

[Alfryd]

OhmiGods! How did I miss this?

Mmm. Evilicious. And punctual, I might add.

Egg drop soup.

It's chinese, and therefore somewhat in keeping with the oriental theme of azure city.

[Quixote]

I feel that there's a pun here that everyone else thinks is so obvious that they don't think it's worth mentioning, but I'm not the best at deciphering puns...

[Psymon]

Egg drop soup.

Ahem, couldn't resist.

[Norri_Windwalker]

Great comic though I really hope that Belkar wins it cause I can't stand Miko ^^;

I also needed someone to explain that with the egg-drop-soup (I am from germany)... muchos gracias!

Seems to me that it is "Miko 1 : 1 Belkar" right now - I am pretty excited how it will end...

Greets,

Norri

[Ilover_Juventad]

Hahahahahaha! Ye'll have some professional hackers chasin' ye tail now. ;D

Yeah. Join the club.


It´s still a great strip,though. And it has to one of the earliest ever... I mean, the OP of this thread is timestamped what... 5:43 AM East Coast Time? :o, if I may say so.

But, speaking as a European, I´m happy whenver strips are up early, because that gives me the opportunity to read them on the same day, instead of on the next. Please keep that up, Giant! (Although it doesn´t have to be 5:43 AM, of course - 10 AM or noon-ish is still more than enough)

[Dark_Stalion]

He he he, halfling drop soup. That is so random. I suppose it was the only way of saving Belkar (i.e. being random) short of Miko herself grabbing him due to her sence of honor, and I'm not sure even that streaches far enough. Beats by far the old trampoline or matress senario. C'est tres bien, Giant. ;D

German translation: I guess "Eierstich" fits best ;)

Sorry about that. Sabotaging Wikipedia just to make a joke just isn't funny.
