Strip by: Ilmo, Kaiju

{The party is fighting goblins. One charges at Durkon}
Goblin: Kill them all!
{the goblin bounces off harmlessly.}
SFX: boing!
Haley: Hey! That wasn't real kill. (sic) You didn't do anything for it.
Durkon: I didn't have time! He just flew away!
SFX: POP!
Roy: Did your hernia just pop?
Elan: Yep!
Vaarsuvius: Nobody paid attention when MY hernia popped last Friday!
Roy: Oh no! I'm so sorry!
Belkar: HEY!
Belkar: I have an idea! I can cut Elan's hernia. Then Elan doesn't suffer anymore.
Belkar: I can use my dagger.
SFX: waa!
SFX: waa!
{The dagger shrinks}
SFX: wawawawa!
{The dagger shrinks some more. Belkar's smile vanishes.}
Roy: Belkar's dagger doesn't want to cut that hernia(.)
Haley: Ahahaha hhahaha haha
Belkar: You and your stupid hernia!
SFX: ping!
Belkar: You have ruined my beloved dagger!

I gave this strip to my sister, who knows next to nothing about OotS. And I gotta say: she made Belkar seem like a really nice guy!
