The above video shows what awaits for ElvUI users when they log in today. I must say, I've been using addons and UI mods for years now in WoW, but as one YouTube commenter says, "Trolled by an addon, that's a first for me." Personally, I got a good kick out of seeing this on my main and I'm looking forward to logging onto my alts, at least just to see my dwarf scream "DO THE HARLEM SHAKE" to Zangarmarsh.

However, for those ElvUI users among you who may have been less than diligent about keeping on top of updates - and who can blame you really, I swear ElvUI goes out of date every three days - it seems that instead of the Harlem Shake, you get a message saying all your gold has been donated to the Orgrimmar orphanage. I personally can't confirm this, because for once I did update my UI as soon as it said to. Let us know if you can confirm/deny the orphanage joke!

Big thanks to @Vixsin_LiG5 for bringing the video to our attention, as well as the other commenters who tipped us on ElvUI's goofy prank. Happy April Fools' Day!

Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.

Over the next several months, SMF will spotlight a regularly updating WoW-related comic. To kick off the series is Contested Territory:

What happens when two small girls from either side of the war meet? What happens when they become best friends? Contested Territory is a story about just that; a young orc named Thook and a rescued night elf with no memories named Kithra. Instantly inseparable, the girls face the challenges of Azeroth together, testing the boundaries of friendship, family and faction as they learn what makes them so similar, yet so different.

Raised by loving but cautious Auntie and Uncle, Aguul and Kross, as well as a dear tauren friend, Winthir, Thook and Kithra learn what happens when two enemies meet before they are old enough to understand hatred.

This comic was originally written in 2008, with the prologue and chapters one and two taking place during Vanilla. The comic is done entirely by hand: pencil, pen, colored pencil, and scan.

Contested Territory uploads regularly on Tuesday and Friday mornings.

This week, we have a nice long list plus a slew of bonus material. Moeru (of Lo'meath & Huilii) has posted about her experiences at Toronto ComiCon 2013, including a few photos. Coffin, who has been recovering after a convention, posted some cool notes and drawings about the process of creating What's Shakin'.

Kuo is taking naming suggestions for a wolf and NPC posted some sketches in late February. Gratz posted several updates this week (with the much-promised action) and although Contested Territory is still on hiatus, there are several new sketches up that you might find interesting!

Trig, we're all still wishing you well and hoping for a speedy recovery! Ash (of The Trolling of Azeroth) also mentioned being sick, and we hope that by now you're doing much better.

As always, if you have any tips for comics to include, you're welcome to leave a comment with a link!

Over at the official forums Community Manager Nethaera has a bit of an unusual question for everyone: do you dream of electric sheep? Well, okay, it's not exactly that question. She wants to know what unusual or unique items you hoard, keep, or carry and the reason why. Do you hang onto Pamela Redpath's tea for courage when you face the undead? Do you keep Archmage Vargoth's Staff for some company on those long, Netherstorm nights? Or is it a practical item that you prefer - a repair bot or the Direbrew Remote for when you simply must have some of that Dark Iron brew?

This question is actually a tough one for me to answer. Not because I don't have an answer but because I have entirely too many answers. My bags and bank are stuffed full of random items that I refuse to get rid of, even now-useless stuff like Shard of the Fallen Star. I guess if I had to choose, I'd say it'd be a tie for two: my Orb of Deception and Orb of the Sin'dorei. I love turning my night elf into an undead or blood elf, respectively, though unfortunately the Orb of Deception requires being equipped in a trinket slot to work, so it's not very practical for raiding. The Orb of the Sin'dorei you can just click to use. True story: once upon a time back in Wrath I was hanging out, transformed into a blood elf, at the Ulduar summoning stone helping bring my guildmates to the raid. Another Alliance player walked up and /spit on me. When I whispered him with a frowny face emote, he freaked out and thought I was a hacker. Helpful tip, my friend: a blood elf in full tier 7 druid gear is not actually a blood elf! Also, you shouldn't /spit on people, it's really rude!

Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.

The day has finally come to unveil the new and improved SMF Guide! It features some never-before-seen artwork (as well as some you have) and will guide you through the comics that most often grace this list. A big thanks goes out to the artists who submitted artwork, and for their patience while it was all being assembled. Check it out below!

In comic news, Contested Territory's Maiu is attending PAX East (Boston) March 22-24. She'll be cosplaying Pokemon on Friday and Saturday but wearing a t-shirt to advertise her comic on Sunday. She's also bringing a hard copy of her comic.

In other news, LFG is now on ComiXology! And The Daily Blink has a new t-shirt.

Also, I regret to inform you that Trigonometry is feeling pretty sick, and as such, only managed one comic this week! (*cough*slacker*cough*) But really; we're all wishing you well, Trig.

Coffin also caught a bug and so there's no What's Shakin' this week. Feel better Coffin!

Finally, if you're curious, the GU Comics indiegogo fundraising never did hit its first ad-free goal; however, it surpassed $10,500 which means that the artist will start converting comic images into printable files in preparation for a future print book.

Editor's Note: The gallery was not ready for public consumption yet! Sorry!

"There must always be a Lich King," Bolvar reminded us, and he really, really meant it. Across all realities, in every Blizzard intellectual property, there must be a Lich King. That's right, take a look at that screenshot up there. Yup, that's the Lich King, buried in a sheet of ice somewhere in the Koprulu Sector. Redditor Aunvilgod laments, "I'm just making a map, and I see this..." I'm not sure it's really any major source of concern, though, considering we have recent confirmation that the Zerg would curbstomp the Scourge in a brawl. Then again, that's only good news if you're Zerg. Terrans and Protoss might have a slightly different perspective.

Unsurprisingly, the thread is immediately flooded with cries for a Warcraft 4. I really don't think WoW is going anywhere anytime soon, folks, though I suppose fans can dream.

Fellow fishing achievement-seekers and completionists, it's that time of year again! The time when birdsong fills the treetops, daffodils bloom merrily on hillsides, and clouds of pollen return to punish your sinuses for daring to survive another winter.

Oh, and it's also the time that Winter Squid turns into Summer Bass.

Fishing up both Winter Squid and Summer Bass is a requirement of The Oceanographer achievement. Much like the world event and holiday achievements, though, you need a certain time of year to be able to complete The Oceanographer. Winter Squid is fishable from September 23rd to March 20th, and Summer Bass from March 21st to September 22nd. Both can be found in normal waters (no schools or pools needed) in Sunken Temple, Feralas, The Cape of Stranglethorn, Badlands, Tanaris, Blasted Lands, and Swamp of Sorrows. Swamp of Sorrows appears to have the highest drop rate for the squid, and Blasted Lands is the best for bass. If you're a squid away from The Oceanographer, now's the time to cast your line! This has been a friendly reminder from your neighborhood WoW Insider columnists. Happy fishing!

Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.

We have a nice full list this week! As always, if you have any tips, don't hesitate to drop some links into the comments section.

In other news, anyone who will be in Orlando for Megacon March 15-17 should definitely stop by and say hi to Coffin. He'll be in the artist alley at table Purple 15, and you should make sure you mention that you're a reader of the comic online because he's promised something special.

And we have one of our regular comics back! Welcome back from your hiatus, From Draenor With Love; we missed you! And speaking of a hiatus, although Contested Territory is out for the month of March, there are already quite a few goodies posted to tide you over, including original character sketches and and chapter covers.

Stay tuned for the unveiling of the SMF Gallery Guide 2.0 later this month! It's going to feature lots of original, never-before-seen artwork from several of your favorite comics.

Contested Territory finishes up Chapter 2 this week and will be taking a one month hiatus while Maiu, the artist, prepares Chapter 3. We can expect to see Chapter 3's cover uploaded on April 1, and the next installment April 2. In the meantime, Maiu will be aiming to post filler every weekday, including character sketches!

On the upside, From Draenor With Love is scheduled to resume this month. In addition, we'll be unveiling the SMF Guide 2.0 later this month, featuring never before seen artwork from some of your favorite WoW-related web comic artists from this list.

As always, if you have a tip for a comic you'd like to see included, leave a link in the comments section!

Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW-related web comics.

We have a new comic to add to the list! Check out The Trolling of Azeroth (thanks for the tip, ash.w.miller!). I've linked the archive and will start next week by including the latest in the list. If anyone has any other tips, feel free to drop them into the comments section!

As an update to last week's comic-funding news, LFG's kickstarter fund was completed on Friday. GU Comics is still funding through indiegogo with the goal to shift the emphasis away from soliciting and managing ad revenue and towards making comics.

Coffin (and therefore What's Shakin') is down for the count this week with a bad cold; boo! Get well! Also, Kuo is back up; glad to hear that your father is doing better, Volucris! Check out Kuo's Facebook page for a couple of character drawings and definitely check out the new site that features only Fox Rain comics. I love the background! It really sets the mood.

In other news, fans of Foxtrot may want to make sure to check out The Daily Blink this week!

Finally, I'd like to congratulate Contested Territory on its 50th strip! Check it out below:

Have you heard? LFG is fundraising on Kickstarter for an animated musical short! There are some cool prizes for contributing, including an awesome Squishable Richard that is selling out fast. Even if you can't 'pony' up, you'll benefit - the final production will be public.

And don't forget that you can donate to GU Comics via indigogo until March 8 for cool rewards and to help make it ad-free for everyone - including the creator, who is aiming to decrease his reliance on ad revenue and focus on comic-makin'.

Both sites recently took a hit when from the Blind Ferret Network went down, but are both back up and running and on this week's list.

Guilded Age is now updating five times a week. Yay! (And kind of badass this week. Check it out!) We have an extra comic on the list this week thanks to a tipster. The new SMF Gallery is progressing nicely, and will be unveiled this month. Finally, NPC posted a video of one of this week's comics being drawn from scratch (compressed to 2.5 minutes) and it's awesome.

In general comic news, GU Comics (a general gaming comic that sometimes features WoW-related content) is crowdsourcing for funds using Indiegogo, which also means some cool benefits are to be had in exchange for donations, from access to extra artwork to commissioned pieces just for you and more. Plus, if enough funds are raised, the site will feature less (or zero) ads for a year.

NPC Comic has had its site design tweaked. Check it out! Also, if you've always wanted to see Chloe and Bink being sketched in an animated GIF (I never knew that I secretly desired this, but here we are), well, now is your chance!
