It’s a cliche often used that “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” In this case, a journey of approximately 17,500 miles per hour begins with a single rocket and a large explosion.
This is how engineers work.
Rades and I wanted to do something a little special and different for the upcoming holiday season, as well as try our hands at a mini story-arc! So expect this story to run for pretty much the rest of the month, until we reach its epic conclusion. We appreciate any feedback as we branch out into something slightly newer and different from the ‘gag’ strips – which isn’t to say the upcoming strips aren’t funny, because (humbly) I think they are.
I’d like to pretend that I dreamed up this comic as an excuse to draw Vid and Rades with toques and mittens, but actually that was entirely Rades’ idea. Needless to say, I approve!
The last panel there is a tribute to our “favourite” bug from this week. It’s fun to play “guess the profanity!” I actually realized it had turned itself on again when I was giving directions in an LFR and I told them with great confidence, “Make sure you stack up on his #@!.”
I’ve read all released comics so far, and despite the absolute lore slaughter of a Draenei being friends with an Orc, this is a pretty funny comic. Also Draenei is my favorite race, a trait not shared by many other WoW players. Herpa.
I always play guess the profanity, it means if someone is saying it to be cruel I have a shield somewhat, and you can usually tell what people are saying. Not sure why my guild complains so bitterly, but then I used to play Puzzle Pirates 😉
Rades should tuck his ears into his hat though, don’t want them to freeze off!
I say you spin off a “Northrend: Cold and Scourge-y” travelogue.
I can’t wait to see how this story plays out. 🙂
Soot-covered, flannel-clad Rades? ADORBS. Cuter than baby kittens and little schnorgly puppies. *squees*
I leave my word filter on all the time, so I’m always playing ‘guess the profanity’ game! I usually try not to swear myself, so it always amuses me when I censor myself.
Amusingly, we were just commenting this afternoon how our language filters stayed off since last night. That bug is rather annoying!
I can’t wait to see where this arc goes…VID KILLED GREATFATHER WINTER!
Yay, I’ll be watching!
