At least it's a comic. And long awaited.

This is probably Dion's subtle way of telling us that the buffer is empty and we should submit strips. :-P

(... , yes our parents wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province, "notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase." The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins, halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears, had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from eating infants on a fast day.

All right, we get the point. I would send in a comic, but just how soul-crushingly un-funny a joke would you accept?

He took mineMade by Dwarfs. The Rule here is that the Mine is either long deserted or at most is inhabited by a few survivors who will make confused claims to have been driven out/decimated by humans/ other Dwarfs/Minions of the Dark Lord. Inhabited or not, this Mine will be very complex, with many levels of galleries, beautifully carved and engineered. What was being mined here is not always evident, but at least some of the time it will appear to have been Jewels, since it is customary to find unwanted emeralds, etc., still embedded in the rock of the walls. Metal will also be present, but only when made up into armor and weapons (_wondrous_).

Okay, open question time: Should we readers demand more or less of Dion's own comic input? In other words, do you think he should write more comics, or has this community pretty much established that it is a reader-participation custom around here?

More or less reader participation. It's our own fault if the strip doesn't update every day; if we don't send in comics ourselves, we have to wait until Dion feels like writing one. But on the other hand, it is Dion's sense of humor that attracted so many people here. While I'm not going to demand that he write them, and certainly not all the time, it's nice to see every now and then that he still has SOME attention to spare for the comic he created.

But we were not on a station platform. We were on the track ahead as the nightmare, plastic column of fetid black iridescence oozed tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus, gathering unholy speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the pallid abyss vapor. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway train -- a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us, crushing the frantic penguins and slithering over the glistening floor that it and its kind had swept so evilly free of all litter.

There. I've just hacked my way through the entire archive. Took me few days, but it was totally worth it. Now I declare myself as a new active reader of Dudley's Dungeon (active means commenting).

Dion used to write all the comics, and most webcomics are done (almost) entirely by the original author, but one person can only make so many jokes about a single video game. Realistically, it's reader participation or very little. (I've sent in one comic, but I have a few more ideas I'll put together soon.)

Heh, you got me there, GreyKnight. Actually, I tried writing a strip for DD (three of them, to be precise) and I hope they're going to get submitted here. Y'know, bad comic > no comic (at least I read it here somewhere).

I can't even parse what the comic's saying in this one.
