And what happened to Elan's smooth, swashbuckling ways?
It's kind lilke dancing: guys only do it to get girls. Now that he has a girld he doesn't need to do it anymore.
Great, now my sup wants to know what I'm laughing about. Thank you Dilbert tab!

| Another character going against type. Vaarsuvius is the last character I would expect a silly one-liner from (I might expect a one-liner turned into a three paragraph exposition from her though) but there she is in the current strip dismissing 3 elementals with scrolls and then joking that paper beats rock.
Everything is going crazy - Redcloak grew a set, Zykon lost his and V is making jokes more suitable to Elan. | |

| Belkar's my hero. I can't count times I've heard that same conversation that he has in the first panel of the latest comic.
If he and Black Mage from 8-bit Theater got together it would be the best comic in he universe.

Yeah, but now which one is the real Xykon? the coward, the killer, or the moron?

| | The Xykon in the rear is the real Xykon, and Redcloak really is Redcloak. Frame 8 is the clincher--the "Who?" in response to "Greenhilt and the Order of the Stick" makes that clear. Why? Because Xykon could never remember Greenhilt's name or the name of the Order of the Stick. He kept calling Roy things like "Redblade" and "Bluepommel", and he always had to be reminded who the Order of the Stick was. The Xykon from strip #422 must have been the cowardly Xykon now embedded with the south group. | |

| Notice they all got different coloured medaillons?
the orange medaillon coward is indeed the coward who redcloak bullied in strip 422.
Xyqon from older strips doesn't have the medaillon.

I got it but it wasn't as funny as it could have been. Maybe if SNL hadn't run the joke into the ground it would still be funny to me. It's hard to make a reference like that and mave people remember how you thought something was funny at first and not how tired you were of the joke near the end.
I can see that. With over a decade remove and without the annoying sketches, it's funny again to me. At least applied to V anyways.

Is "meh" a kind way of saying "complete and utter crap?" That show has sucked for like 10 years.
The "It's Pat" line was still funny. Not a gut-buster, but funny nonetheless.
