Strip by: Ilmo, LTDave

{scene: a cave. Delkin's arm lies on the ground}
GM: The goblin sage speaks and asks...
Ambrose: Wait, so the guy has just ripped Delkin's arm off, and thinks he's the one asuin questions?
Delkin: At least he's not GMPC Steve the Almighty.
GM: Well of course not! You killed him! Twice!!
Delkin: {muttering to himself}: ...wouldn't have happened were he not immortal.
NPC Goblin sage: {mysterically} Answer me these questions three...

The author writes:

Yes, even the GM can quote Monty Python. No one's safe from the temptation.

In the universe the players inhabit, Lightning Made of Owls does not exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But other things that we know and love do, albeit modified by the absence of LMoO:

Lightningballs is a serious documentary about ball lightning.
Andrew Bird is known (barely) for drawing strips for Irregular Webcomic!, but gains widespread fame after animating the first Futurama movie.
Jenny Everywhere is known primarily for her role in Life and Death.
Nerdy guys on the IWC forums talk about killing Garfield rather than Steve.
GarNim was never invented. Made-up word fans never had it so good.
The major reader-submitted comic background that pervades all of Western culture is Awkward Fumbles. The original comic was remade recently into a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
Throughout the 2010s, all the greatest webcomics were Gag-a-day-slice-of-life-gamers-on-a-couch-sprite comics.
The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on iToons.
