We should all fear Becky's Slapping Hand, for it is powerful.
For those of you who are new to the strip and are wondering why there is a DING sound effect over Dhur's head in panel #4, allow me to explain: The way I work experience for these characters (a la D&D) is that every 100 strips sees them go up a level. In World of Warcraft, the DING sound effect denotes a character leveling up. We're at Strip #600, so now the gang are all at 6th level now (or in Becky's case, multiclassed as Fighter 3/Paladin 3). Now they can really start to do some damage. :)
Wow. 600 comic strips. Pretty sweet.
See you next time,

Gratz! And thank you for all your work!

This… is actually really clever! I never thought about simulating progress that way!
Sorry that it’s not related to strip 600 (great that it’s still rolling!), but inquiring minds want to know! Who did you base your wizard’s personality off of for the D&D game you’re a player in.
@Yakumo: Nathan Ford from Leverage, more or less (but without the drinking problem). Thanks for asking! 🙂
This is when it turns out that Bigby’s most famous line of spells had Becky as their inspiration.
