The Order of the Stick

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Anyone else read this? It is by far the funniest comic strip I have read in a long time.

Hah. From looking at only one page I can already tell that Miko is the best character in that entire strip. :oops:

I dunno, it didn't win me over immediately, like 8-bit theater did.

Neo Monster Island is cool too, but it gets tedious with the little lizards bizarre political statements at times.

EDIT: OI! Wait a minite! Aren't those lads talking in some fookin' brit-slang at times? This be a brit-comic? :eek:

Miko has only recently joined TOOTS. She has taken all of them prisoner. You have to read from the beginning. Roy (the black guy) is the leader.

Nah, the interplay between the regular characters is the best part, if you read it through from the start.

It's funniest if you get the gaming references, but don't let that stop anyone...

Anyone read QoW?

...That and the D&D cliche jokes that only an uber-geek would get.

I have to agree I only laughed out loud every couple of strips, but I did spend two hours reading them from the beginning, so they must be doing something right.

Good stuff!

The best line is "I think I just had an Evilgasm"

I agree. I think 'evilgasm' is the funniest word I've heard in a long time.

:D
