    Comic 701 is now up! I have to weigh in and say that I, too, enjoy a good pull!

    Well, my suspicions have been confirmed - the U.S.A. was founded by (and continues to be run and populated by) evil goblins obsessed with world domination.

    Why in the world did they have to get the MitD to pull the string?

    Come on Splunge ... I mean really, have you not seen a picture of G.W. Bush yet? I always thought he was more a troll, though....

    The delays in between comics are getting a bit ridiculous.

    I agree. I still read them, but frankly I'm losing track of the plot, and aside from the OotS characters themselves, I'm having trouble keeping track of who's who and what their roles are.

    That's why you buy the books! I love OOTS, you'd think I was emplloyed by Burlew, but I'm not. But I bought one of the first copies in Edmonton of Don't Split the Party!

    It doesn't help that it's taking him an ungodly number of strips to move one subplot a tiny fraction of an inch forward... and that he keeps creating new subplots.

    It's been two strips in two weeks. It's like reading Goblins ... which was great today. I think this was the first strip where I actually cheered for Minmax.

    :lol:
    I actually held my arms up cheering for Minmax when I saw the ending to the last Goblins strip. He might be stupid, but he still knows what's really wrong :D

    Like many people, he probably works in spurts. He does have a condition of some sort that he has alluded to that likely makes it difficult for him to keep a work schedule, but when he feels better he slams out as much as he can before his next occurence(sic).

    I think you're right LKD. Burlew has alluded to something like that.

    Anyway, I won't complain about delays.

    It's great entertainment for me and it's free. I'm grateful for that.

    Yes, that is one game where the Grim Reaper itself would be at a disadvantage :D

    This may be a little bit off-topic, but imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, and I was recommended a pretty good OotS-inspired comic, Keychain of Creation. It is particularly recommended to Exalted players.

    Even though I'm having trouble following the plot (age thing, I guess), #723 was pretty neat, although it seemed vaguely familiar. :)
