You bump into the wall. The two of clubs falls over. The three of hearts falls down.

The ten of hearts tumbles down. The two of clubs knocks over the six of clubs.

This one was rather strained, I fear. It almost seems like another of the "jokes that don't work in nethack". Maybe we're starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Pretty much what Antheridium said.

Wow, I was 100% sure this was going to be some variant of the recent hex map strip. I definitely didn't see THAT coming.

I call it E.

Yeah, kinda stretching the limits here. Still, it wasn't bad, so fair, I guess.

Another way to explain a collapsin dungeon... I thought it was pretty smart, albeit stretched but hey, I'm not piccy.

Took me completely by surprise, and was quite well executed. Most definitely an Excellent.

Good because it stretches the boundaries. Fair because the punchline wasn't solid. After panel 2, I saw a lot of potential for where things could go, but I felt like it just ended and sort of left the joke hanging there. I know that headstones are a staple of Dudley punchlines, but I felt like this one could have used a quip from Dudley before the headstone....

But this did give me an idea for a strip....off to create a submission.

But slashes aren't walls, even underscores are altars (not walls or floors), and the vertical dimension on the screen is horizontal for Dudley ... in short, this comic simply does not work!

On the other hand, it's pretty funny.

First panel should have been something like "Wow! Look at all these wands and thrones! But why so many iron chains?"

I was waiting for a 'house of cards' joke.
