Thu Jul 13, 2006 5:50 am Greyhawk Webcomic 2.0

Starting a new thread, and what better way than with a caption contest?!

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip76a.htm

Any questions feel free to ask. Otherwise, get cracking on those captions, you have a month.

Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:07 am

OK, who couldn’t help but think of Gene Simmons?

It says: “I want to rock and roll all night, and party every day.”

It says: “Beth, I hear you callin', but I can't come home right now. Me and the boys are playin', and we just started another round.”

Thu Jul 13, 2006 4:02 pm

Heironeous speaking to reader "Most people say they're going to Disney Land after finishing up the Tomb of Horrors... Not Trithereon though... nope, and now I am stuck at Maure castle."

or

Tritherion "It says Dear Tritherion and Heironeous, you won't find any treasure, and is signed by Istus."

Heironeous "figgers."

Fri Jul 14, 2006 1:39 pm

Heironeous: Dammit, Tritherion! You said, "Have a little fun, see Iggwilv's hot daughter, slay some demons..." Nothing about a boooooooring riddle trap, I am soooo out of here.

Sun Jul 16, 2006 8:00 am

Riffing on the Mines o' Moria.

Tritherion: "Speak fiend and enter? Speak FIEND and ENTER!? What in the Nine Hells kind of riddle is that?"

Hieroneous: "What was that splashing? Hey Tritherion, do you think there're catfish in this pond?"

Mon Jul 17, 2006 9:27 pm

Excellent stuff everyone, keep up em coming!

Thu Jul 20, 2006 2:16 pm

While you're thinking of captions, here's a new strip.

stuff St Cuthbert doesn't want you to know.

Thu Jul 27, 2006 7:56 pm

Now you have to do a secret origin of the enmity between Cuthbert and Pholtus, where Pholtus steals Cuthberts girlfriend away on the night of the Peaceable Kingdoms of Arcadia High School prom.

Man. That Zilchus as The Donald-thing never fails to crack me up.

Here's an idea I had -

"Yuan-ti On A Plane"

St. Cuthbert (or the most Samuel L. Jackson looking of GH's dieties) stuck in Mershaulk's realm in the Abyss raising his mace in the air and shouting -

"That's it! I have had it with these mother-@#$&$!% yuan-ti on this mother-@#$&$!% plane!"

Sun Aug 06, 2006 11:59 pm

Good one, smillan! That would be quite fun to do. I do have a movie parody in the back of my mind to do someday and it involves Sam Jackson but its not Snakes. Cool

shh.

Mon Aug 07, 2006 12:04 am

Bump! Come hither cowards! Surely you can think of some witty captions?

http://www.greyhawkonline.com/wogcomic/title/wogstrip76a.htm

Mon Aug 07, 2006 11:54 am

T: Those aren’t letters; they’re ashes.
H: I guess they don’t like that stogie.

T: Wait a minute. I think this is in brail.
H: Uh, you got this one.

Mon Aug 07, 2006 12:05 pm

T: ...I'm serious, it says "Enter at own risk"!

H: No, I'M serious, who said going in was a good idea!?!?

Mortellan,

In the Align Quiz, the look on Kords face in the "follow him back and kill his pals" was PERFECT! I nearly wet my pants laughing, and boy did I need it--the laugh, not the sodden undergarments that is...

That is so awesome!

You know, until I saw it in that context I never realized that the Doomgrinder would make a great Kustom Kulture hot-rod a la' Ed "Big Daddy" Roth. All you need is Rat Fink hanging out of the tower.

I´ve got the same impression, MTG (speaking of similarities, I confess that every time I read your nick, the name "Magic The Gathering" comes upon my head; no offense meant :-) )

Excellent strip, Morte. Who said grovelling helps a minion´s longevity ? Cool

Nice comic Mort. Though I have to admit, didn't recognise old Phaulkon there until Zagig decided to do his Shatner impersonation. Keep up the good work!

Fri Sep 15, 2006 7:57 pm

Thanks for the praise folks! That one took several weeks of writing and planning.

Guardian: Doing Phaulkon has never been easy. I've only used him three times up to date (85+ comics). There is just no reliable canon images of him to go by. It didn't help that I put him in a Mayan mask and a replica of Ricardo Montalban's jacket from Wrath of Khan. Hell I even had to break his alignment to make this storyline work. That's comics for ya! Wink

P.S. There might be a sequel someday to this particular storyline!

Thu Sep 21, 2006 2:46 pm

This is a cop out week for me. But extra credit points for anyone who can spot the anachronism in this comic. Wink

Thu Nov 09, 2006 10:32 am Hmm...

Hi all,

I can't decide if the design of the chair or the use of "git" is the bigger anachronism, but no one can blame you for needing a week off. You are the hardest working cartoonist in Greyhawkdom. No, wait -- you're the only cartoonist in Greyhawkdom!

Thu Nov 09, 2006 11:17 pm

Scott>Think about current fads and you might be on the right footing.

Sun Nov 12, 2006 4:33 am

Anachronism?

Even though B's reading a book, the shadow behind the chair shows that he is obviously sitting in front of a TV.

Current fad?

A plasma HDTV with ambient lighting?

I liked the little leg kick on the signs. Cool

Sun Dec 03, 2006 10:01 pm

Hey Mort,

Great job. I really like how you used my suggestions that worked and ignored the ones that didn't - the extra-wide panel gets around the depth/size issue.

I like the happy leg kick. Flighty elves.

And I like that while the others are drinking beer from mugs and steins, Correllon has left behind his delicate glass - obviously he was drinking Celenese nectarwine or somesuch. That just builds on the androgeny thing while at the same time showing that he was drinking with the others, not off in another corner of the bar. Such a small detail that adds so much! Man, you are gifted!

Sun Dec 03, 2006 10:16 pm

Woo! Thanks Kirt. Kudos to you too. You provided me with plenty of layout options which made my job easier but it still wasn't a simple one panel comic I tell ya. Correllon was in no less than three different places until I found the best position. The doors also took some arranging, and I still think I could've drawn them in to the left more. Eh. The small details of course is my favorite thing to do. I am glad you noticed the wine glass left behind. And the leg kick symbol idea of yours, that took a dozen redraws before I got it just right. I added the punchline, even though technically the panel needed no dialogue, just them staring at Correllon might've worked. All in all a headache but worth it.

The universe sits in quiet contemplation of this dreadful tale and it is pleased. Absolutely wonderful.

plus the story´s no terse.
