New page! Next page will be on Saturday. After that HOPEFULLY a couple of two page weeks 🙂 That weekend is pretty busy as I’m playing some 40k and D&D plus I have a bunch of overtime at my day job so that might push the Wednesday page back-Though I will do my best 🙂
Practicing for a doubles tournament at Warhammer world. I may not get tickets to go but I need to prepare in case I do. My half of the army is 1000 points of Imperial Guard (or Astra Millitarum). IG are my favourite army but most of the models I have are proxies and kit bashes. One army using a lot of WW1 themed models and the newer one using a lot of Napoleonic miniatures. As this one is at Warhammer world I have to use the official GW models. I like their stuff a lot but the IG models are not their best work.
I’ve already got a bunch of Catachans that I’ve had for ages (23 years?). I’ve stripped them, added some of the plastic figures to bring up the numbers and have green stuffed berets onto them (because berets are cool). They should look okay once they’re done. I’m going for a Commando/Parashute Regiment vibe with the berets 🙂
The D&D should be fun too. 5th ed rules. I’m going to be running a monk. The theme behind him will be ‘gentleman adventurer’. A fist fighting explorer with impeccable manners and an excellent taste in sharp suits.
If you can afford to, please back me on Patreon. Two pages every week and a new vote pic every month. That’s the dream. More backing means more time to work on the comic 😉

A big ‘Thank you!’ to all my existing Patrons-you make this possible 🙂
I imagine they have to keep making saves or be charmed via Kolboldness for a few rounds.
Yes (he’s so handsome!) XD
Not going to lie, I like his Moral Code.

And like that you have gotten even higher in my esteem. B&T best 80s movie out there.
It’s pretty hard to beat 🙂
I am currently rebinging the archives. On one page it was said that Arjuna and Rath have been rivals for a long time. Does that mean that she’s only pretending to be a rival so she can get close to him while avoiding his perverted nature or is that just her way of flirting in general or is she actually not into him after all?
@current strip:
Okay, those are some twisted moral codes there. Eating window pie, not wanting to NOT eat dungeon crunch, but being ok with having peasants eating that terrible stuff? That sounds like “protecting big corporations, but not caring about the little people” to me.
Rath and Arjuna have a rivalry but also fancy one another-Although neither of them are fully aware of that component of the relationship 🙂
Zeen doesn’t really mind eating Dungeon Crunch-It’s just that he can only eat so much in one go. The moral issue he has is with taking the prizes out of the boxes without eating the cereal (as this goes against the sacred law of cereal prizes). Evil mega corporations do not care what you do with their product after you buy it-just as long as you buy it 😉 If you buy a load of breakfast cereal and throw it all away I’m sure the manufacturer won’t care (even though that would be a terrible waste of food).
Although Rath hates the stuff it’s not actaully all that bad-So giving it the the villages to eat so that Rath and Zeen could get the scrolls seemed like a win win solution 🙂 You’ve got to remember that Rath and Zeen are monsters. They TRY to do the right thing but they often forget and do bad things because it’s useful to them or amusing. Don’t worry. They do get better (as a wise man once said ;)).
Okay, I’m curious how the Rath/Arjuna think is going to develop. ^^
I just went back to find the scene where they ate the dungeon crunch and I guess their sacred law was even established beforehand already. But when I read “10% less toxins” as well as the elaboration on pages 67 and 68 I thought that they were even less edible than those McDonalds burgers with the pink goo in them.

PS: Now I understand what Zeen actually meant by “The most important code of all.” He isn’t referring to being kind to people, it’s about eating the cereals. XD
Hey-It’s ‘not technically illegal’. What more do you want?! XD I’m sure you and I eat worse every day 😉
I guess that depends on the definition of “not technically illegal”. If certain sweets and fried stuff should be made illegal because they have toxic amounts of sugar or fat respectively then yes I eat worse every day.
But I assumed that “not technically illegal” meant something like “we created a bunch of new chemicals that haven’t been tested yet so they’re technically not illegal yet, because they haven’t been classified as toxins yet, so we can say we have 10% less toxins” (and that is something that happens in our world as well). It is super rare for me that I eat stuff that might be of that category. I can affort good food. 😉
That’s good to hear. Buying quality food is definitely not a waste on money. Likewise spending time asleep is never wasted time (within reason). That along with a reasonable amount of excersise are the cornerstones of a healthy life style. Plus a nice big bowl of ‘Dungeon Crunch’! Go on-how else are you going to get your vitamin R? 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovfM7dvFto0
Hahaha, that brittle bones thingy doesn’t make sense on so many levels, but hilarious nonetheless. XD
Zeen needs a few Ziploc Bags of Holding. Get the prizes now, eat the cereal later!
That was suggested by Rath (panel 4)- https://btbcomic.com/comic/page67/ Great minds think alike! ;D
