My memory might be faulty, but I always thought Belkar was rather attatched to his current daggers

It's good money plus it's only reasonable to not leave powerful weapons with opponents that are (even only technically) still alive.

Signature weapon isn't separated from the designated nemesis until they're dead. I mean, come on, Belkar knows that.

I like how OOTS characters are all perfectly in touch with the fact that they're fiction, and yet whenever you justify their actions with that knowledge it doesn't feel very forced.

It'd be another art upgrade and one that didn't allow Burlew to do a very simple design.

Unless Belkar picked it up and it ploinked into his current dagger design.

I kind of find myself hoping that Bad Haircut gets swapped to being Belkar's anti-nemesis. Like she could get all vengeancey against him over this thing, then show up every couple hundred comics or whatev and try to pick a fight with him and he completely chumps her and laughs as he leaves her for near-dead. Burlew could switch the leveling thing agaisnt her so she's perpetually just high leveled enough that he can totally kick the crap out of her without breaking a sweat. It'd be a great little reward, like "hey so now that you're pretending to be a good guy, here's someone you can repeatedly beat the tar out of without ever having to even fake feeling bad about."

Well just taking score, so far he's stabbed someone to almost-death and left her laying in agony, and set an old man up to be bludgeoned to death by his former best friend.

So, yes.

yea but old Belkar was gonna let HIMSELF die, just so a paladin would betray her churches laws and strip her of the very thing she based her life and personality around

New comic. Hoorah. Good times. I have to say, a vampire thief would be quite cool.

He needs a new Goddamn server.

I completely fucking agree.

It's even worse for us who go to the GiantITP forums. Every single time, literally, a new comic is released, either the forums are shut down for a while to ease traffic flow, or you just can't get to them, because it takes about an hour to load.

Great comic though. Hopefully, Rich has caught onto the fact that Celia's becoming increasingly Flanderized.

New comic. Go read it. Made me giggle.
