Funny because it's true

I don't get all the gags here, because some of them are specific to "SOLAR" (the artist's local Larp of choice), but some of them are fairly universal.

It's probably best to read the archives from the beginning, because she usually introduces a concept the first time she uses it - like the Monster Tabards and the spell component pouches.  This is the central problem with doing LARP cartoons - you almost have to pick a specific system if you're going to do observational humour, which means you may well leave half your audience in the dark.  Unless your comic is for the club newsletter or something, of course.

As I say, though, some of it's universal. It comes to us all in the end...

Devil's Panties... Jen's other comic is also rather good and linked from the Geebas pages.

Solar has a few strips, though Geebas is the most regularly updated. I can't think of any other fest events that have online cartoons.

the spelling pains me too much to read those.

it paaaaaaaaaaaaains me. i only find bad spelling/grammar cute if i know the person who is doing it and they are endearing enough for me not to beat them in about their sucky handling of the language.

Like when its done with a malathian accent?

spoken malathian i can deal with. written malathian would probably kill me.
