Sunday Morning Funnies: Do hug ghosts

by Amanda Miller Mar 21st 2010 at 12:00PM

I've been laid up all week with a nasty case of the flu.

Fortunately, I think I have managed to avoid passing it on to anyone by staying indoors and suffering in silence. Here's hoping that all of your weekends have been better!

We have a couple of new comics to add to the list this week, as well as some updates from comics that only refresh sporadically. What do you guys think about the newbies?

To compensate for my lack of trivia inspiration this week, I shall send everyone "flu immunity" vibes. That has to be at least as good, right?

You'll also be happy to note that Battlemasters is back! Zack, coincidentally, had the flu a couple of weeks ago. Isn't spring wonderful?

Sunday Morning Funnies: Durable underwear

by Amanda Miller Mar 14th 2010 at 12:00PM

This week, we have a healthy crop of WoW-related webcomics for your perusal. Before we get into that, let's look at last week's challenge.

I asked everyone to make some comments about the week's comics, hoping for some funny, astute, honest, and observant ones. Lots of you rose to the challenge, and to you I bequeath a virtual and imaginary collection of kaleidoscopic thimbles. I'll even throw in some chocolate flavored lemon drops and your very own pretend mini hippopotamus.

For this week, I want you to try reading a comic or two that you don't usually bother to read, or that you haven't paid much attention to, and let us know what you think about it. Next week, I'll give you guys another trivia question. Ready? Go!

Sunday Morning Funnies: Me want

by Amanda Miller Mar 7th 2010 at 9:00AM

Last week's trivia challenge produced several great answers, although no one guessed what I had been thinking about; My Pet Monster! Still, that was only worth bonus points. Thanks to shadowQQ for guessing Bull from Where the Wild Things Are, and Correlation and Undra for guessing Sully from Monsters, Inc.

The other bonus trivia question was of the "one of these things is not like the other" type, and Noekh was the winner; all of the items were something that Canada is known for. Cartmensfoe also gets points for noticing that everything included in the list was edible. Apologies for forgetting to exclude the elephant shrews wearing berets with the ascots and toast. That probably confused a few people.

As for your virtual and imaginary prizes, you have all earned robots that know how to do laundry (although they are known for their laziness), bottles of detangling spray that are rumored to bring good luck when used, magical and unpredictable pink highlighters, and a lifetime supply of butterscotch-flavored gum that will help you see the future.

WoW.com's Weekly Comic: Byron, the Tauren Rogue!

Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic -- Byron the Tauren Rogue!

Man, Byron is flirting with danger here. I mean, if 'Danger' is the name of the very large, hairy and angry human farmer, then...well, I mean, he's not exactly flirting either, but....hey, I'm just trying to be dramatic and artistic here.

Hopefully he won't pull that 'out of the frying pan and into the fire' thing, huh? Stay tuned to find out!

Sunday Morning Funnies: Big tongues vs puppy men

by Amanda Miller Feb 28th 2010 at 9:00AM

This week, we have several newcomers to the list! I love having new comics; you never know what will become a core feature for each week's entertainment.

For last week's trivia, there were so many winners, that I'm frankly just too lazy to list them all. You guys did a great job, although the consensus did seem to be aimed at Frankenstein and its famous comedic little brother, Young Frankenstein. This is going to require some sort of mass prize awarding distribution system (MPADS).

First, I shall create a virtual and imaginary, but giant, Frankenstein's monster pinata. I might duct tape it on the inside just to make you work for it; your epics should be able to get through it in time. Inside, there will be toast, poutine, a white Christmas, a family of elephant shrews wearing tiny berets, and butter tarts with a side of real maple syrup, topped with Smarties. There will also be enough ascots for all.

This week's trivia question can be found buried within the comic list, so you'd better get cracking! Bonus extra trivia points if you can tell me which of the above virtual and imaginary prizes does not belong (not counting the ascots or the toast - those were just necessary) and why.

WoW.com's Weekly Comic: Byron, the Tauren Rogue!

Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic -- Byron the Tauren Rogue!

I'm finally back after a too-long medical hiatus. My cast is finally off, so it's back to drawing for me! Thank you everyone for being so understanding, and humoring my little right-handed diary pages. I'm sure Byron will forgive me for showing them off.
We finally get to meet the owner of said property that Byron is trespassing on, and we'll finally get to see some nifty rogue-ish and engineering-ish tricks! Also - will he actually get that pie? Stay tuned to find out!

Sunday Morning Funnies: Red shirt mistake

by Amanda Miller Feb 21st 2010 at 9:00AM

Alas, this week's list is merely an average size. What does that mean? Many artists are busy, away, injured, or have websites that aren't working. Fortunately for us, there are some really great comics this week to make up for the loss of bulk.

As for last week's trivia, GI_Prophet wins with 'American Psycho.' Hex will share the glory for recommending the book. You both win a virtual and imaginary lifetime supply of custom business cards, which happen to taste like jelly beans. They're non-toxic, don't worry.

This week's trivia question is: What is being referenced in LFG's comic #332? I will accept several answers, so feel free to be creative. Of course, the prizes aren't real, but there's always the glory, right?

As always, I'm taking tips. Have you seen a WoW-related webcomic not listed here? Has an older such comic been reactivated?

Sunday Morning Funnies: Ribbon-wielding cultists

by Amanda Miller Feb 14th 2010 at 12:00PM

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Pudie and Antubis and Sukugaru won last week's trivia! Pudie was the first to identify the origin of the song, and Sukugaru and Antubis reminded me that I had asked for the name of the song in specific, and not the movie title. The full answer was The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music from The Sound of Music. Lys' idea of Beauty and the Beast would also fit, and it hadn't occurred to me.

You each have won a virtual and imaginary pet bunny prize! These bunnies shall come from outer space; very savvy and and genteel bunnies of witty and adventurous natures.

As a bonus, for identifying the My Little Pony, Serthida wins a virtual and imaginary epic purple Valentine's Day cake! It tastes however you wish it to taste, and contains no calories, sugar, fat, etc. Heck, it's actually nutritious.

This week's list of comics only appears to be of moderate length; it's actually quite long.

As always, leave your comments, and send tips about WoW-related webcomics through our tip form, or leave them in the comments section as well.

Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic -- Byron the Tauren Rogue!

Here's a nice little Valetine's comic for all of you lovebirds out there. Sure, Gruuka is a good friend, even if she does pull his tail, call him names, and blame things on him. The young rogue-to-be assures us that girls are most indeed "icky," and "full of cooties."

From the deepest depths of a child's mind, we have Byron's first invention - the Cookie-Getting Bird. He knows that there would probably be more gears and stuff, but those are really hard to draw...or so he says.

Sunday Morning Funnies: Epic win

by Amanda Miller Feb 7th 2010 at 12:00PM

First of all, I would like to congratulate Keyra for winning the virtual cookies! This batch is vegan upon request, comes with a nice tall glass of cold soy milk, and I'll even throw in some fresh berries. Khloe Kardashian was the right answer to last week's impromptu trivia question!

Watch out for this week's trivia question, buried in amongst the comics.

Unfortunately, I didn't receive any new comic tips, but I don't think you'll be disappointed!

On a side note, I feel very lucky that photographing one's collection of My Little Ponies is a relatively popular occurrence, for how else would I have found such a lovely epic pony? I had more to choose from than I would have imagined, but I finally narrowed it down to the lucky pony on the right.

Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic -- Byron the Tauren Rogue!

Geez Louise, that seems like an awful lot of effort for just some cookies, don't you think?

On the other hand, when you're young, a few copper must feel like a fortune, so there is some understanding in the undertaking of these kids.

Next week, we're going to show you some of Byron's earliest blueprints, and the world will witness the birth of an engineer.

Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic -- Byron the Tauren Rogue!

Now, we're going to be doing something a little different for the next two or so weeks...you see, the WoW.com staff and I managed to get our hands on none other than Byron's diary. Because we like the little guy, we're going to do the right thing and broadcast it to the world.
What, you thought we'd give it back? Where's the fun in that?

(Author's Note: In truth, I actually had surgery on my drawing hand/wrist on Friday, and am gimped and unable to draw. The regular comic will continue after I get this blasted cast off. Therefore, everything here has been drawn with my right hand [I'm left-handed.] Thanks for understanding!)
