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.

Cudley wields the +7 Vorpal"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

I don't really like epic-long webcomics for some reason. I like short 'n' sweet ones. I'm not going to vote for this one.

Multiple large comics, sequentially, with a story that extends over multiple days is kind of dragging. Some comics are designed for story and exposition, but so far, this one hasn't been. It does kind of break from the norm.

Gonna hold off rating until the series is done. I don't think it's fair to judge a movie scene-by-scene (although MST3K was never "fair"...)

Intelligent life outside of Nethack? Is that...possible? Um, Mr Nameless? I think you forgot the punchline.

I was going to rate it good, till I saw the corpses of Dogley's DISINTEGRATION blast.
