JCC [OOTS]You suck, Monty

1259: By Size, Color, And Number of Holes

Nice use of managerspeak by Haley.

 

This is a huge team now. And extra cleric, thief, two paladins and a beholder. Now, which ones will die.

 

1260: Stew You

Good to see Team Evil again.

 

The banter of evil is quite funny. "Reminds me of when I was able to write my name in the snow."

 

1261: Certain Doom

Oona the bugbear is still hilarious.

 

It occurred to me today that in the previous comic there is a Monster In The Darkness clue when Xykon says eh thought this kind liked to eat dwarfs.

So at the moment they do not suspect MitD of purposely tampering, just incompetence.

 

1262: Two Villages

 

That is an example of a character who's dump stat is INT but has a very good WIS score. I wonder now if this will become the water that waters the seed planted by Durkon.

 

1263: Assorted Situational Uses

Great snark by the demon roaches.

 

I think Xykon is playing dumb here. He might not be privy to everything but I think he sees enough and he is going to have a knowledge reveal and take pleasure in making some tragic endings.

 

1264: Also an Uncanny Resemblance

Hilarious joke on legalese.

 

It's a EULA joke!

Dilbert made several a couple of decades ago...

 

The modron is probably a Quinton - they have 5 arms, one of which is referred to as a tail.

 

The roaches are quite talkative this issue. And hilarious.

 

1265: Non-Killer App

The modrons continue to be funny.

 

"Is never same as ad once you start playing." I think the "as" is a mistake here. Even with his broken speech this makes no sense.

I wonder if Belkar can use his Ranger ability to tame the MitD.

 

No, it does, but the wolf doesn't use articles in his speech. He means that "It's never the same as the ad once you start playing". Basically, false advertising.

 

1266: Even Deal

I like the Quinton modron's demand. Very clever.

 

This is also funnier if you remember that Xykon sounds like Darth Vader.

 

1267: Dead Letters

Quinton continues to be funny.

 

Good grief, I'm going to count every last word he speaks.

 

1268: No Skill Point

Roy's last line here is hilarious.

 

Well, panel one looks like a D&D game inside a D&D comic. And it feels like a throwback to 2nd Edition Proficiencies.

 

1269: Stuck In A Meeting

Looks like Belkar's still exercising his pranking skills now and again.

 

Odd day for a release. Wouldn't mind a few rapid fire issues to get things a moving.
