This comic was inspired by some things that Sniff the Raven said in an IM to me, about being able to insert cards to things other than weapons and armor (of which are pretty ambigious when it comes to RO... after all, with golf clubs for weapons, and panties for armor... yeah.). So, you've got him to thank for the idea of the comic.

You'll notice that the number of people featured in this comic is actually much larger than is featured in the opening. See if you can guess who's who (I'm thinking ya'll won't have any trouble with any of them, except maybe one).

Give up?


No? Yes?


YOU GET SPOILED ANYWAY!!11 That's me, Saint Damien, Talien, Nth and Novvy who appear without actually "starring" in the comic.

I think it's SD that most people will have trouble recognizing if they don't know him from previous RWs. He was the best choice for having the Spoon of Hiding though, given he's the guy who's been used for Matrix jokes so far.

Concerning the Erudite Toilet joke, I had some reservations doing this, because I've been trying to steer RW away from perverted or toiletry humor.

On the other hand, it was just too good to pass up, making a joke about the porcelain throne giving intelligence to people. The guy sitting on the can isn't meant to really be anyone. If you want to you can say it's an RO GM (given he's wearing white and has a hairstyle that was meant for GMs back in Alpha... I think), but when I was drawing I was thinking more of Aristotle.

I'm not sure if that quote "I think, therefore I am" is from Aristotle. I think it's from Descartes... if that's how you spell his name. Probably forgot some accented letters. Bleh.

And yeah, the gray, ashy person standing behind Sniff in this final panel here IS supposed to be the same guy that got blown up - whoevever he is.
