One of the things about family: no matter how much you may love each other, it can be really satisfying to throw a zinger their way every once in a while.

WEIGHT UPDATE: Saturday before last, my wife and started the "Choose to Lose" diet and exercise program used by Chris Powell of Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss edition. This past Saturday was our first official weigh-in. Here's how I did:
STARTING WEIGHT: 284.8 lbs.
CURRENT WEIGHT: 281.6 lbs.
WEIGHT LOST: -3.2 LBS.
Now, I know that a good deal of that is water weight, but I want to lose this slowly, so as to give my skin time to recover and not get all baggy to where I'd need to to have skin removal surgery like the people on the aforementioned show. I realize that's kind of like worrying that you're going to be a concert pianist after one lesson, but there you go.
Take care,
~Rob
return of carl?
@Dragonborn Sorcerer: Please, give Noral some credit for intelligence. Besides, the last time we saw Carl, he was knee-deep in snake-people, assuming he survived. 🙂
Naaah it will be that Guard from the border,..I mean heck you know he got transferred, and he had to go somewhere, and where better than to follow the Princess,…..
Snarky-Dad is much more fun than stick-up-my-butt Dad! Two thumbs up!
Eh heh heh heh heh heh. I take it back. Noral is awesome. Also, Jain really.likes Dhur, doesent she 😉
Good way to bring in a new character. Way better than “so you all meet at a bar”. Noral seems to be having a lot of fun messing with people. I guess thats all you can do for amusement after a few centuries of life.
Noral’s grin as they disappear=hee hee hee hee.
Great job on the weight loss. Generally, shoot for a loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week. You can do it!
I am really liking Noral. He knows how to bring the snark and drop it at just the right moment.
Could I make one suggestion for the site? Navigable archives to make it easier to go back and check old strips. That’s all. Thanks!
@Oarboar: There is a drop-down archive bar just over the ad to the right, or were you talking about something more detailed? Bear in mind, I am all thumbs when it comes to web design – frankly, the fact that I managed to cobble together a site at all is a minor miracle. 🙂
oh, just that body-guard that’s been stalking since 7th grade, did i not mention him?
I completely missed that. Thanks!
I like the “poit” you used for the teleportation spell. I think it is a good visual “sound” effect for the spell. It reminds me of Waspi Square, and I was wondering if it was a coincidence or an intentional decision?
(carefully studies Dhur’s Axe) Hmmmm….. Is that the same axe you were carrying before?
@Lucien d’Arcastile: Yep, that’s the one he pilfered from the lich’s castle a while back. It’s called “Grinsplitter.” 🙂
Just remember, Snarky Dad in comic strip (or TV or Movie)= funny good
Snarky Dad in real life = Bad Dad.
(I’ve got two teens)
Ohh, water, drink lots of water and you will drop pounds, sometimes you mistake being thirsty for being hungry. Also, water helps clean the system, no sense having pounds of poison or junk in your body cause you can’t spare the water to flush it out.
AHG! I just noticed a continuity error. Dhur’s belt buckle isn’t smiling in panel 3! Or doesn’t it match his expressions now?
Aiee! I forgot to draw that. Oh well. I’ll fix it for Book Two.
