OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
New comic is up.
Also, I may start a separate thread about this later, but Ookoodook is having a Black Friday sale on OOTS books, 25% off regular copies and 75% off scratch-and-dent/"as-is" copies, which we have too many of right now after some issues in the warehouse over the summer.Rich Burlew

Following RB on twitter is a good way to know when a new comic is up.

We've had one, yes, but what about second nap?

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
Poor Roy. So excited to make plans for the final battle, but the group keeps getting distracted and just called for a snack break so he has to wait while the other players make popcorn and drinks.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
I'm starting to wonder if Serini isn't still trying to stall them.

Elan being surprisingly savvy there.

No, none of us were altering the unimutable laws of physics. That would be wrong.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
Roy is about to find that he does not have an easy way to return or let others know that he has found something interesting. Not all of Serini's friends will know about the new alliance. They could easily perceive Roy as a wandering adventurer.

This seems like an opportunity for a visit from Roy's old man.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
How does Roy not know better than to split the...
Oh, right, he was dead for that part.
Edit - Ooops, quoted wrong person.
Would make sense. I mean, wasn't that her whole plan during the fight (after it was clear the ambush wasn't working) as well as the discussion afterwards? We never figured out what she was stalling for, did we? Other than, perhaps, "If you stall long enough, maybe something random will happen you can take advantage of to turn the tables."Last edited by Crusher; 2022-11-25 at 12:42 PM.

Roy, when even the paladins agree it's time for a break, it's time for a break. Sulking about it won't help anything.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
Firstly what is Elan holding? I thought it was a bowl, maybe a glass bowl as apparently it's see through based on the last panel.
And secondly it feels like the whole story has completely stalled. It's another holding comic while the Giant figures out what's going on, at least that's how it feels to me. I'm sure the long term plan is there and some of the big things that will happen on the way are there but boy is it taking a while to do anything.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
The whole "second breakfast" thing always raises my hackles. It doesn't make a lot of sense to break one's fast twice in short order, unless every meal should also be considered to be breaking a "fast". And Tolkien would never have called it that; he'd have used the proper term "elevenses". Breakfast, elevenses, lunch, tea, dinner, supper.
It's Haley's bow; see the previous page.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
Thanks for the heads-up, given that the index seems likely to require a second reload in perpetuity... unfortunately for me, my Twitter feed tends to be crowded enough that I'd probably miss it.
I'm reminded of the cook (Corporal Snark, which makes me wonder if that's where the word came from or vice versa) in Catch-22 who complains about having to cook for such Philistines, they would wolf down sweet potatoes laced with laundry soap.
(Which is true, but...)
Spoiler: spoiler for Catch-22it's because they want to be sick so they don't have to go on a bombing run that could get them killed, for no real purpose other than gratifying their CO's career-enhancing whims.

Re: OOTS #1271 - The Discussion Thread
Ahah, yes, imagine someone calling two different meals of the day variations on breakfast. Would would do that. So crazy.
Linguistics do not care for "making sense".
Also, Tolkien does mention all the meals you've listed un addition to second breakfast, despite qtating elsewhere that Hobbits have six meals a day. Either this is a little mistake or one of them is not considered a proper meal and more of a snack or something.Forum Wisdom
