OotS 1034: Always a Good Rule of Thumb

You'd think that a rule of thumb would involve less words.

The author is great at building tension. Nothing like an at-length conversation complete with smarmy quips during an action sequence.

>We should kill them.
>No, we should run.
>How?
>I dunno. Keep killing them.
What a great conversation.

>>46834003
> REEEEEEE
Not subtle enough

Well, we also got "non-stupid Paladin" shtick.

>>46833638
I am starting to quietly hate the author. Waiting a week for this meaningless piece of shit is dangerous for my psyche.

>Hurr
ok you got me.

What's even the point of making a huge comic, fill it 50%+ with speech bubbles that basically say
>we have to kill it
>lets GTFO
>how?
>idk, kill it
?

It's characterization. It teaches us that the character Rich Burlew is a hack writer.

Part of it is a statement of the usual DnD response to battle as "we must fight!" so the writing is like 50% "you guys suck with paladins" and then the point is completely lost due to events in the story.

>>46836332
Can't he just write an article about his personal pet peeves and focus on writing an actual story in the comic?

>>46834612
Genius

>>46834612
>There is no one we need to d other than our wives
Fucking paladins

>>46834612
I normally hate thog edits, but this one was gold

bumping shit thread

>>46836677
The comic has always been about his pet peeves since strip 1

>>46833638
>Finally something happening
>WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS
>Nothing accomplished

Goddamnit Rich can go choke on a grapefruit. An entire grapefruit. Just lodge it in his windpipe. Fuck.

I assume that, by this point, he's writing it like this just to allow hilarious edits.

>>46834782
What else is he gonna fill the panels with? "Art"?

The old Paladin is wise.
