I just came here to post that. While I’m glad that the strip has another four years to run, I’m going to be very sad when the last strip is published. I wonder what Rich will do next?

He’ll be able to do side-stories and epilogues for a while, but no doubt he’s smart enough not to draw that out indefinitely.
Eh. I’d think he’ll create a new world :)
No matter how fun the story, most authors do move on.

“Flee before me, worms!” Wonderful.
Hard to top that for a tenth anniversary strip!
Even on such a great run, this one stands out. Almost “Sexy, Shoeless God of War” good.
That pic is great as well, 216.

…did Belkar just gain a permanent mount?
I really doubt Rich wants to give him access to something so large on a regular basis. It would screw with the proportions of the strip anytime it was used, which is fine for a one shot but not for an ongoing thing.

It probably won’t fit through the gate :)

I can’t help but think a moment this awesome, can only come before a death scene.
You’re late to the party, GreatAtlantic. Read the last few posts above yours :-).
(but I did have the same thought about Belkar. Then again, I’ve been wrong about when the Belkster will bite it many times already)
I’d say “another one”, but I bet Belkar doesn’t walk away from this (Although it’s Rich. It’s not going to be obvious)
Nooo… if there’s one thing this comic needs, it’s more Belkar, not less.

Love it!
“Feeding your beast some rudimentary defensive potions while blocking out all thoughts concerning pharmaceutical dosage specifications.”
pharmeCUTICAL actually. I assume it refers to the claws.
I’m not sure why he used pharmecutical instead of pharmacutical. Maybe to make the “typo” more obvious?
Or maybe it was just more of a typo.
Another awesome comic. Going too well for too long, though; something terrible is about to happen.

Yeah, I almost kept the typo in place but I couldn’t bring myself to leave it there.
