I'm hoping parts 2 and 3 are longer, because 9 panels could have easily fit into one strip.

Would you prefer a nine panel comic and two idle days, or a three-parter of three panel comics?

I guess it's a set-up.

Oh, yeah, and...I would prefer the two idle days. (Sorry to double-comment.)

I agree with idle days. At least that way you'd get the punchline straight away instead of waiting two days to set it up.

I'll wait and rate as to whether this was worth it after I've seen the rest.

Perhaps it would have been better with a fourth panel. Dudley rolling his eyes and making a sarcastic remark, or something.

Uh, yeah. I prefer my multipart comics with punchlines. Upped one point because you recognized that too.

Where's Dogley?

You see here a spellbookThe Book of Three lay closed on the table. Taran had never
been allowed to read the volume for himself; now he was sure
it held more than Dallben chose to tell him. In the sun-
filled room, with Dallben still meditating and showing no
sign of stopping, Taran rose and moved through the shimmering
beams. From the forest came the monotonous tick of a beetle.
His hands reached for the cover. Taran gasped in pain and
snatched them away. They smarted as if each of his fingers
had been stung by hornets. He jumped back, stumbled against
the bench, and dropped to the floor, where he put his fingers
woefully into his mouth.
Dallben's eyes blinked open. He peered at Taran and yawned
slowly. "You had better see Coll about a lotion for those
hands," he advised. "Otherwise, I shouldn't be surprised if
they blistered."

I trust that the rest of the series will be better, as promised; still, IMO there are better ways to go than a three panel strip with no punch line

Huh, when I viewed the pageThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

the first time, it showed no comments, so I decided to post my opinion. Now that I did, I see lots of prior messages. Sorry for the redundancy.

Same error here: first view, no comments. Anyway, I'm sorry for such a lame punchline. At first, I intended to make parts 1 and 2 as one strip. Dunno why I separated them.

My apologies, an 'under construction' message would have been appropriate. I try to fix the file writing issue that's haunting us.

"Dunno why I separated them."

By guess is severe head trauma. Better check your skull for any (new) cracks.

Nope, apart from those old cracks (I met a car once) my head is all right. But there's something tumor-like on my hand. Does that count?

Maybe you're breaking out. Allergic to comic writing?

On another topic. Did you know that any spellcasting monster of sufficient level checks to see if it can cast Double Trouble? It just always fails unless the monster happens to be Rodney. (Presumably this is so he can still do that if he's polymorphed into an arch-lichBut on its heels ere the sunset faded, there came a second
apparition, striding with incredible strides and halting when
it loomed almost upon me in the red twilight-the monstrous mummy
of some ancient king still crowned with untarnished gold but
turning to my gaze a visage that more than time or the worm had
wasted. Broken swathings flapped about the skeleton legs, and
above the crown that was set with sapphires and orange rubies, a
black something swayed and nodded horribly; but, for an instant,
I did not dream what it was. Then, in its middle, two oblique
and scarlet eyes opened and glowed like hellish coals, and two
ophidian fangs glittered in an ape-like mouth. A squat, furless,
shapeless head on a neck of disproportionate extent leaned
unspeakably down and whispered in the mummy's ear. Then, with
one stride, the titanic lich took half the distance between us,
and from out the folds of the tattered sere-cloth a gaunt arm
arose, and fleshless, taloned fingers laden with glowering gems,
reached out and fumbled for my throat . . .
