Dudley's dungeon

As you kick the doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov'd:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.
        [ The Inferno, from The Divine Comedy of Dante
                Alighieri, translated by H.F. Cary ]

.HORNRoland hath set the Olifant to his mouth,
He grasps it well, and with great virtue sounds.
High are those peaks, afar it rings and loud,
Thirty great leagues they hear its echoes mount.
So Charles heard, and all his comrades round;
Then said that King: "Battle they do, our counts!"
And Guenelun answered, contrarious:
"That were a lie, in any other mouth."

It's not the best, but I love the strips where the monsters spell words

In NetHack, Random, it often does. NetHack isn't D&D any more than it is real life.

Yeah. The chaotic deities in Nethack would probably be chaotic good under D&D.

Chaotic isn't the same as evil. You can be lawful and evil, for example some of the greater demons are lawful. On the other hand, the distinction is a little more blurred in nethack than in D&D.

Oh hell's bells. It doesn't matter whether or not the comic conforms to the user's manual, it only matters that it's funny.

Take the stick out of your butt.

This comic really needs the Benny Hill theme "Yakety Sax"

So that's what that music is called!

P.S: I reckon this comic needed at least four more panels of word-spelling, possibly employing anagrams, to be a "Good" or higher.

Overall, inferior to comic #2. Why do all comics that spell letters use only capitals?

Roger Barnett has it correct.
