[del]Kukla![/del] Ollie!

Damn, it’s been a long time since I saw that show…

HA! Loved it. Man, that brings me back.

Not to see conspiracies everywhere, but could that bearded dude be…

Ian Starshine? See pic here.

It’s an Ollie-saurus!

I have no idea what that is.

please put replies in spoiler boxes, so you don’t ruin the joke for anyone who hasn’t read the strip.

Yeah, that has been suggested before. It’s certainly a possibility.

According to the OOTS forums it’s from:

[QUOTE=SPoD]

Kukla, Fran, and Ollie, an influential TV puppet show from the 1950’s and 60’s. Specifically, that’s Ollie, the dragon.

Specifically, it is a dinosauroid variant, with fangs. Making it… not an allosaurus, but an… -Saurus.

I almost had it; I thought it was an HR Pufenstuff reference.

Ehh, it was all LSD-based back then.

Another new strip is up: here.

Does Neutralize Poison work on the effects of alcohol? Might make things either much better or horribly worse.

A poster question. On the good guys poster, who is the character in the lower left corner with the brown beard and the red boots?

That’s Sir Francois, the paladin that Elan worked for before he joined up with Roy.

I have to try some of those chaotic spices.

Note that this is not the first time in the comic that we’ve seen spices with alignment. In Start of Darkness, there’s an evil diner that imports all their spices straight from the Lower Planes.

Well we know from Xykon’s critique of MITD’s warcry that nutmeg just isn’t evil at all

New strip – #748 is here!

Best sound effect…

Thjunk!

I totally missed that! Thanks for the observation.

I love Belkar. I love Xykon, too. I bought Start of Darkness on Thursday, and finished it that night. Belkar is just not a team player, or at least, he can’t remember the team objective very well.

Attack ranks! I remember attack ranks.

Man, I’m old.

A reference I don’t get …

Who is Saget

Bob Saget was the host of ‘American’s Funniest Home Videos’ for years, which seems to have featured a disproportionate number of videos featuring men getting whacked in the Man Parts with baseballs, baseball bats, toddlers who ran into them at full force, golf clubs, 2X4s, etc.

What was the thing about halflings not being allowed to advance past level 8? That’s not something I remember hearing- was it a first edition rule or something?
