Hell, even XXXenophile's the funniest porn comic ever produced, narrowly edging out Willingham's Ironwood in that small category.Dick McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521293874696659063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-50066092908866131312021-06-22T08:11:13.831-04:002021-06-22T08:11:13.831-04:00The strips quality seems to rise above The Dragon ...The strips quality seems to rise above The Dragon itself.<br /><br />...but I too wasn't loyal enough to not be confused by the plot.

For a while I thought Gremorly <i>was</i> Wormy, because when I started reading the comic, it focused mostly on him and no one ever mentioned his name. Boy, did I feel silly later...<br /><br />I think the sphere-filled space that Solomoriah breaks into is meant to be the ethereal plane, because when Gremorly is escaping into it with the demon-spheres/dwarven bowling balls he says, "The Obyls of Odium, by ethermn forged, to the ether doth return!"John Brinegarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12123235797335728124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-72794302174090509912021-06-21T14:50:04.485-04:002021-06-21T14:50:04.485-04:00Spelljammer came out years after this was publishe...Spelljammer came out years after this was published and I always wondered if that particular strip had been an inspiration for whole "crystal spheres floating in the phlogiston" thing. I know they're probably "just" planar access points (maybe to different planes, maybe to other locales on the same one) rather than whole star systems and you'd better hope you never see that many spheres in such close proximity to one another but the similarity still rings out to me.<br /><br />Grimorly and Solomoriah's spellcasting with the "verbal component" represented as unreadable exotic characters in the word balloon still come to mind whenever I think about what D&D spellcasting would sound like. No "ala kazam" stuff, just sounds most mortal minds can't comprehend or even recall past the moment of casting. You'd know something weird had happened, but without spellcraft or arcana or whatever you'd have no idea what beyond any obvious physical effect like giant flaming explosions or whatever.<br /><br />Truly a tragedy this was never finished, both for Trampier's sake and his readers.
