Warlock.

Man, not a comic book character? There goes some brainstorming.

Is it permissible to ask for clarification as to what definition was used for ‘literature’ when answering DQ9?

I keep having other people ninja my DQs, I was going to ask about audio/lyrics upon a no to comic books…

Rules question: Does reading previous pages of this very thread count as web research?

515

Nope. Helps avoid duplication. BTW, what’s the difference between appearing in a comic book vs. comic strip?

516

A comic strip is a specific format, used in newspaper syndication. Comic book is much more general, and would include most of the superhero questions we’ve been trying out.

Another rules question: If you have three IQs pending, can you withdraw one in order to make room on your queue for a new IQ?

517

Yup. Thanks for the comic explanation.

518

Printed fiction (novels, short stories, &c) and poetry.

Yes. Comic strips are what you find in newspapers - Garfield, Mary Worth, For Better or Worse, &c, including single-panel strips like The Family Circus. Some strips appear in magazines (Pee-Wee Harris in Boy’s Life, for instance). Most webcomics use the same format, but I don’t think I would include them in the same category.

Comc books are separate publications, such as those by Marvel, DC, Gold Key, &c. A lot of characters appear in both strips and comic books; I would group them by their original form of publication.

I believe that’s been done a couple of times during the ~two years I’ve been playing.
