In the Snow . . . at last
Hello, WoW wanderers. It seems you were drawn here because you delight in the death of harmless boys with stupid grins and no armor.
We’ll try not to disappoint.
What is it that drives us to destroy? I see the fingers of small children systematically transform book pages into breaths of confetti; grown men and women, oozing as much ecstasy as sweat, swing the smooth, wooden handles of sledgehammers in a smooth arc to a splintering climax. Who of us would pass up the chance to push a car off a cliff just to watch it erupt in a blossom of heat and blinding beauty?
Fortunately (or unfortunately), our murder has become digitized. Robbed of duel options, days of white gloves and ten paces, we must seek other outlets. Our bugles have turned into headsets, our foxes into mouses. We battle personified code, lacking the gray areas of humans sympathy for their soul is nothing more than code, and we are allowed, no, encouraged to scatter their ones and zeroes. At the end of the night we can sleep, our hands bloodless, our consciences clear, that age-old lust satisfied.
I suppose this is why Mark can kill Willow time after time and still giggle about it (I myself try not to kill children, as much as they might ask for it). Still, I’d like to think Willow exists in some children’s book Azeroth, the streets papered with posters holding Mark’s growling visage:
- Wanted -
For goring, beheading, cooking, trampling, drowning,
mauling, splatting, crushing, and dog-piling
an innocent boy with a nice smile.
Mark is passing on the tradition, training his young one in the felling of carrot-horned snowmen with eyes as black as coal.
There will be slush before the day is done.

A thousand apologies for the late post. Something exploded in my front yard and the power went out right before I usually upload the comic. It would appear that I have angered Zeus yet again. In his anger the life of my xbox 360 was taken.

thats a cool poster in the second panel

I’d like to confirm the wanted poster thing. It also has Jane the Ripper next to it, but his was the number one wanted poster. 3,000 gold bounty if brought alive. A life times supply of rabid monkey pirates for just his head.
But still, didn’t you know? If snowmen are left alone, they become quite evil. They must be destroyed before then, or else…he is teaching her a good thing there.

@ thedarkone- and by UK, you mean Utgarde Keep, the first instance in Howling Fjord, correct? Or did you possibly mean the uk in rl, where rl is defined by my Hordie friends as “the other dream”
@shatterspear- agreed, although you probably could have put a bit more elequence into that statement (and this is coming from a rogue with an int of around 12) because we don’t want to give us Hordies a bad name, now do we?
About the comic….. Mal’ganis has suffered enough already, what with being killed millions of times by the army of Arthas, as well as Arthas himself between Warcraft 3 and World of Warcraft’s Caverns of Time instance “The culling of Stratholme”. I mean, that is Mal’ganis, correct? I mean, if it’s Balnazzar, by all means, continue.
(Yes I am an Azaroth nerd, deal with it)
Oh, and if you don’t have the whole Rez-Sick plotline planned out, you might consider adding a bit of the Troll-NE ancestry debate in there (as a point of reference, there’s a good book in Gadgetzan on the subject)

Awwww, and I JUST got my 360 dusted off and back outa the closet about an hour before you comment there. xD
PS: Are you guys by chance planning on bringing the old Graveyard videos back? My cousin keeps bugging me to ask this, he misses the D&D ones the most.
