What do you want to 
zap? d - a wand of'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.
'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed.  I am
Gandalf the White, who has returned from death.  You have no
colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.'
He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.'  There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet.  'Go!' said Gandalf.  With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.

@ "Keep up the good work! We're going to visit AsmodeusIt is said that Asmodeus is the overlord over all of hell.
His appearance, unlike many other demons and devils, is
human apart from his horns and tail. He can freeze flesh
with a touch.

A trap doorI knew my Erik too well to feel at all comfortable on jumping
into his house.  I knew what he had made of a certain palace at
Mazenderan.  From being the most honest building conceivable, he
soon turned it into a house of the very devil, where you could
not utter a word but it was overheard or repeated by an echo.
With his trap-doors the monster was responsible for endless
tragedies of all kinds.

& "So, you think you can just break my roof and walk away, little humanThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the
earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but
occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit
mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often
resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of
using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the
Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.

You know what I discovered? If you start to make a comment/rating around midnight, it gets applied to the next day's comic. :)

Seems to be BaalzebubThe "lord of the flies" is a translation of the Hebrew
Ba'alzevuv (Beelzebub in Greek). It has been suggested that
it was a mistranslation of a mistransliterated word which
gave us this pungent and suggestive name of the Devil, a
devil whose name suggests that he is devoted to decay,
destruction, demoralization, hysteria and panic...

I have a game of ToME open, so when I saw this comic, I thought: "This is another reason to always detect traps."

He should have had 5 ArchonArchons are the predominant inhabitants of the heavens.
However unusual their appearance, they are not generally
evil. They are beings at peace with themselves and their
surroundings.

I guess it could be the start of a series. But even strips in a series need their own punchlines.

Dion needs to redirect the homepage to the current comic so that this doesn't happen.

In other news, this was work a try. And an eff.
