At the moment, I don't get it. Why could the grid bugThese electronically based creatures are not native to this universe. They appear to come from a world whose laws of motion are radically different from ours. Tron looked to his mate and pilot. "I'm going to check on the beam connection, Yori. You two can keep a watch out for grid bugs." Tron paced forward along the slender catwalk that still seemed awfully insubstantial to Flynn, though he knew it to be amazingly sturdy. He gazed after Tron, asking himself what in the world a grid bug was, and hoping that the beam connection -- to which he'd given no thought whatsoever until this moment -- was healthy and sound."

OK, a newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

Good idea, poor execution riddled with inconsistencies. May change my vote if someone offers a good explanation.

See license for details. zaps with their MC3 cloakCloaks are the universal outer garb of everyone who is not a Barbarian. It is hard to see why. They are open in front and require you at most times to use one hand to hold them shut. On horseback they leave the shirt-sleeved arms and most of the torso exposed to wind and Weather. The OMTs [ Official Management Terms ] for Cloaks well express their difficulties. They are constantly _swirling and dripping_ and becoming _heavy with water_ in rainy Weather, _entangling with trees_ or _swords_, or needing to be _pulled close around her/his shivering body_. This seems to suggest they are less than practical for anyone on an arduous Tour.

And 'You hear the wailing of the banshee' is better if you want to set the mood. Poor for diagonal attacks and unreachable wizardEbenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could find to a path in these overgrown woods. Every few paces he would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his wizardly strides. He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring, as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.

Ignoring the wrongness I give it Fair... After all even a mediocre strip is worth much more than the judgement of a reader-only like me.

Inconsistencies are okay as long as there aren't too many of them, or the strip isn't intended to be entirely NH... but there are simply too many to ignore here. G for idea, M for delivery. so, F.
