Sunday Morning Funnies: Me want
Last week's trivia challenge produced several great answers, although no one guessed what I had been thinking about; My Pet Monster! Still, that was only worth bonus points. Thanks to shadowQQ for guessing Bull from Where the Wild Things Are, and Correlation and Undra for guessing Sully from Monsters, Inc.The other bonus trivia question was of the "one of these things is not like the other" type, and Noekh was the winner; all of the items were something that Canada is known for. Cartmensfoe also gets points for noticing that everything included in the list was edible. Apologies for forgetting to exclude the elephant shrews wearing berets with the ascots and toast. That probably confused a few people.
As for your virtual and imaginary prizes, you have all earned robots that know how to do laundry (although they are known for their laziness), bottles of detangling spray that are rumored to bring good luck when used, magical and unpredictable pink highlighters, and a lifetime supply of butterscotch-flavored gum that will help you see the future.
Before you head off to read this week's selection, I'll outline this week's challenge. It isn't trivia this time, but rather, an exercise in critical thinking. I want you to identify something in one of the comics that other people might not have identified. This could be something controversial, an obscure reference or homage, an artistic detail, and anything else you might want to talk about.
- New! Fall of the Lich King from GG-Guys.
- The Warcraft Hero in Elderly Love. Also, Journey to Stormwind.
- Battlemasters: A Little Perspective and The Only Way Out. *Bonus! The Battlemasters is giving away an Authenticator this week!
- NoObz: Good Old Days.
- Away From Reality: Of the four new comics introduced last week, this one seemed to catch the most attention in the comments. Check out the latest, Its bark is worse than its bite. If you haven't read the last few, then read Wagging the dog first.
- Beyond the Tree: A Matter of Guilt and Crosscaves.
- Coffin Comics: Teabaggin'. I have to admit that I enjoy this one.
- Daily Quests: The Evolution of Void Zones. I love this one! Very clever, and the facial expressions in the middle panel are particularly entertaining.
- Complex Actions: The Golden Rule for Rogues.
- Slash AFK: Ice-Ice Baby. I also do not recommend doing this to a bear IRL.
- K's Grab Bag: No Discrimination.
- NPC: Buzz Off. I think I could actually use a tool like that. Bink Kinks - on second thought? Maybe not. Reinstatement.
- Torment of the Week: Copout. Yeah, it's more filler (although the first one from this comic), but I like to post it. It's way more fun than no updates at all!
- LFG #335 and #336.
- Byron, the Tauren Rogue!
- WoW, eh: Me Want Free Gift With Purchase.
- Equinox and the Crime Cartel.
- Dark Legacy Comics: Cut Scene.
- The Daily Blink: If Blizzard Developed Real Life. I especially like the first and last ones. Vault Leasing and Rotisserie.
- The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf: Wrath of the LoL King.
- Tales From the Crossroads: Money for Nothin'?
- Teh Gladiators: Their Fates Intertwined.
- By Way of Booty Bay: Raaaage. Adding this in for fun. I can never tell if there's anything new because of the way it is organized, but I was checking it out while making the rounds.

Battlemasters started off strong and than the art quality and potentially interesting story just fell off altogether for a far-too-long "The Guild" cameo (guest star appearance? I dunno.)
Ah well.
Kia Mar 7th 2010 10:25AM
Yeah, it pretty much lost me too. I used to look forward to it, now I'm just all... "Oh, okay." *skip*
Zach Mar 7th 2010 11:17AM
Man, audiences are tough! Fair observations, though. On the whole, I'd tend to agree. Let's see what we can do to make it interesting.
Eddy Mar 7th 2010 4:22PM
At least its art isn't so bad I can't be bothered to figure out what's going on in a panel because it would take longer for me to decipher the joke than to enjoy it.
Ametrine Mar 7th 2010 9:47AM
By Way of Booty Bay - and the whole Supermegatopia site, for that matter - hasn't been updated since last October, and even the forum has been seemingly abandoned to the roaming packs of wild spambots.
I have yet to hear from the creator as to why.

Since you guys probably need to see this sooner rather than later.
"We Lunar Festival runs this year from Sunday, Feburary 14th at 9:00 am server time through Sunday, March 7th at 9:00 am server time."
No it's not server time, it's local. I just missed my last Elder because I read that and thought I'd have time this morning to get it. Missed the last one I needed.
Guildmates in EST confirm this because the lunar festival stuff disappeared. Makes zero sense but true.

Daily Quest was win as usual, plus super-cute loli-elf! GG Guys made me lol out loud, especially at the last panel, and I love Daily Blink's Vault Lease. xD
Azarizotza Mar 7th 2010 11:13AM
Oh man. Fall of the Lich King was amazing.
/facepalm FTW
Thanks for posting my filler! If it's any consolation, I didn't sleep and sacrificed a lamb last night. Not that that has to do with anything, but I just wanted to mention it.

I don't know if it's just me, but I wish you guys wouldn't include LFG anymore. I mean, it's NOT about Wow. It's a fantasy webcomic that has some similarities to Wow, but it's far from being a Wow webcomic. Not sure if I'm the only one, but I always skip it without a second look.
Agony Mar 7th 2010 12:50PM
Actually, LFG is one that I check frequently throughout the week to see if there are any new updates. WoW.com turned me on to it and I've read it through from the beginning. The artwork is great, the humor is top-notch and the story arcs are well thought-out.
And who can resist an undead fire/frost-specced mage with a homicidal streak who is easily bored and just as easily amused (as long as carnage is involved)?
FOR PONY!!!

Hah! Loved the comics this round. GG-Guys have a damn good point, just wait til the Dalaran gossip accidentally brushes against that monument and sees all that. Everyone will know then.
Dark Legacy Comics also made a funny little comment that applies to so many games. And the nod to the biggest of those said games was great.
As for the Teh Gladiators, I have some speculation on it as well. The humans were reduced to Vallant look-a-likes because Leeroy Jenkins was successful in his charge, slaughtering every whelp. Because of that, he got many women and free drinks.
And hell... I'd give the Oracles Shadowmourne if they would finally give me the green proto-drake!
Chris M Mar 7th 2010 12:38PM
Wow, GG-Guys was awesome. Very good comic!
As always, WoW, Eh? and DLC are awesome, the Daily Blink and NPC are fantastic, and.. that's all I read. :P

keyboard turning a mental illness? SURE, back in the day, that's what they called other things, too. i refuse to hide who i am!
I'M HERE!
I'M A KEYBOARD TURNER!!
GET USED TO IT!!

You think Richard is A MAGE?
*headdesk*
macster Mar 7th 2010 1:04PM
Duh. Was meant in reply to Agony above.
Agony Mar 7th 2010 4:34PM
DOH!
I was typing that in a rush during my 10-minute break and wasn't thinking. Please...forgive me...I have sinned...
Skarlette Mar 7th 2010 2:19PM
A good crop of comics today! GG-Guys is an instant classic. The last panel of WoW, Eh? was awesome/funny/dynamic/cute, I LOL'ed at the Daily Blink's Wintergrasp letter, Disgraph is in fine form (my Pit of Saron runs feel like that), and Daily Quests has another clever/adorable winner. Thumbs up, guys!
