I find it entirely appropriate that Belkar is rooting for Piter.

What spell is Durkon casting?

Well he’s telling the time with it (which you need to get the …um longitude?) but I don’t know of any cleric spells that do that.

Hah! I hadn’t noticed that, nice touch.

The Rolex spell is probably lower level than some sort of directional/finding spell, plus I guess that way they can avoid the typical magical misdirection/warding.

Two weeks later, 691 is posted.

Aaaand back to the usual schedule. Boy, those fast strips were nice, weren’t they?

Yes - like this (692).

Yes, this one looks like he only took a couple of days to produce it.

Been much happier since I stopped following the comic day-by-day. Better to buy the books or wait six months and come back and catch up.

I disagree. Still a long, long gap though - might start checking once a month or so, as Marcus does.

Order of the Snail.

Amongst the new merch on the site I noticed that he’s selling water bottles with the characters on them.

1L bottles for $32 each. What the hell is Burlew smoking? Do they come filled with whiskey?

New one’s up, just under two weeks this time! But this one is a better strip, at least.

Elan is totally going to become a dinosaur in a future strip, or so I hope.

Well, that’ll slow things down. That’s good; the strip was drawing a lot of complaints of the breakneck speed of its plot movement.

i’m sorry, but that was just plain unadulterated awesome

I suspect he’s lying. For that very reason. Burlew’s fuckin’ wit’ us.

Yup, the entrance is right there in the desert.

Yeah, saying that something is anywhere except where it actually is sounds like the kind of thing a master illusionist would do. And my prediction is that Elan is the one who intuits it and points it out.
