Funny, but rated fair, because it's not really a NetHack joke...

The point of this webcomic is to be about a game. Otherwise it'll be just like every other webcomic, except with no art. Mehh. Rated fair anyway.

Oh dear Kos"I am not a coward!" he cried. "I'll dare Thieves' House and fetch you Krovas' head and toss it with blood a-drip at Vlana's feet. I swear that, witness me, Kos the god of dooms, by the brown bones of Nalgron my father and by his sword Graywand here at my side!"

Meh, I think we're being a little overly harsh. Occasionally these comics have to stray outside the boundaries of Nethack; otherwise we'd run out of fresh material. In fact, we've had comics that didn't have anything to do with Nethack before and wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province, "notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase." The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins, halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears, had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from eating infants on a fast day.

See license for details. OK. So we ought to cut the guy a little slack; the only problem I can see with this one is that it does in fact feel a little too much like a drab newspaper comic. And yes, you're right, that's not what we come here for, and it feels out of place. But what DO we come here for, anyway?

We come hear for Newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

It's not that bad. You could easily kill the kopThe Kops are a brilliant concept. To take a gaggle of inept policemen and display them over and over again in a series of riotously funny physical punishments plays equally well to the peanut gallery and the expensive box seats. People hate cops. Even people who have never had anything to do with cops hate them. Of course, we count on them to keep order and to protect us when we need protecting, and we love them on television shows in which they have nerves of steel and hearts of gold, but in the abstract, as a nation, collectively we hate them. They are too much like high school principals. We're very happy to see their pants fall down, and they look good to us with pie on their faces. The Keystone Kops turn up--and they get punished for it, as they crash into each other, fall down, and suffer indignity after indignity. Here is pure movie satisfaction. The Kops are very skillfully presented. The comic originality and timing in one of their chase scenes requires imagination to think up, talent to execute, understanding of the medium, and, of course, raw courage to perform. The Kops are madmen presented as incompetents, and they're madmen rushing around in modern machines. What's more, the machines they were operating in their routines were newly invented and not yet experienced by the average moviegoer. (In the early days of automobiles, it was reported that there were only two cars registered in all of Kansas City, and they ran into each other. There is both poetry and philosophy in this fact, but most of all, there is humor. Sennett got the humor.)

The problem isn't that it wasn't nethack-related... some jokes outside NH are good... but a joke that could be done at any other webcomic and still regarded the same doesn't really go well here. Besides, it didn't feel at all like NH.
