Lack of Intelligence
I am a big fan of Clarence and Sarge. I could seriously run a second comic based on their exploits. It would be D&D meets Gomer Pyle, USMC.
For the 3 of you still here after reading the previous statement, I am working on a few new items for the online store and I’ll be debuting them next week.
In case you missed it, John Wigger of Zombie Roomie did the art chores for today’s issue of The Gutters. I will not spoil the joke for you but it involves comic/game shop retailers and early on in the process, John decided to include Pops in the comic as one of said owners. I love shared continuity. Love it. Love it. Love it. Seeing little easter eggs like this in comics across the web always feels like an added reward for reading comics.
Thanks so much for making Pops a part of your guest comic, John.
I kinda’ dig Clarence and Sarge. Not enough PoV from the other side of combat. Heros this, and Heros that… bah. It’s tough being a wondering monster, or part of a clutch of goblins just trying to make it through the day holding down your dungeon.
DaMacGuy, you’re right. It is tough being a goblin. Add to that the inherent prejudice adventurers have against you. If there’s a human amongst you, automatically he’s either your leader or prisoner. Sheesh! Maybe you’re just being neighborly and invited him for a meal! Or maybe he’s bringing back the hedge trimmer he borrowed last week.
There is a hilarious novel titled Grunts by Mary Gentle, taking the orcs’ side of the story in a LotR-style epic. This strip reminds me of that book.
MINION T-SHIRT!!! MINION T-SHIRT!!! MINION T-SHIRT!!!
Gomer Pyle USMC FTW! 🙂 (Yeah, I’m old enough to get that one.)
If you made that shirt in a 4x; I’d totally buy it…
By sheer coincidence, I just happen to be reading this while I’m reviving my play-by-forum D&D 3.25 campaign, one in which the player-characters ARE villains serving a fallen nobleman, building up and defending their crypt in hopes of eventually reclaiming their family’s manor, restoring order to their dominion (while reminding the people who’s really in charge), and eventually expanding their borders and exacting vengeance against their neighboring nations who stood idly by and watched them fall in the first place.
(The biggest difference between that and this, of course, is that four of our six players are playing undead characters serving an undead lord and a fallen, undead noble house, not orcs, goblins or whatever Sarge and Clarence are. Thanks, Libris Mortis! 🙂 )
