That’s the one, and he’s definitely got the right kind of comedy chops. Surprised the heck out of me.
There are probably clips of him in Cuckoo out there (there’s a comedy fight scene that likely features prominently but that’s not typical of the sitcom as a whole). His role is very Elanesque - a cheerful, goofy, handsome, physically fit, well-meaning idiot.
ETA: And it’s “Taylor”.
I’m pretty sure I saw the first episode of Cuckoo. Perhaps I should revisit it.
And I know it’s Taylor. :o I have no idea why I wrote Tyler. Twice. :smack:
He’s way too “mature” now, but Cary Elwes (in Princess Bride or Pirates of Penzance form) would have made a great Elan.
Also, numerous Azure City ladies.
The fact that Elan can be such a huge goof and NOT be kicked out of the party is testament to his high Charisma score.
The affection people feel for Elan is inversely proportional to how useful they expect him to be.
He’d make a pretty decent Julio Scoundrel…
It’d be almost inconceivable for Julio Scoundrél to be anyone but Cary Elwes.
Antonio Banderas.
How about Melissa Benoist as Haley? She’s cute enough, and her hair tends towards reddish blonde when they don’t mess with it.
While waiting for an update (no, sorry), I re-read the most recent strip. Wow, that was great.
a joke about black speech balloons
Belkar writhing from “protection from evil”
nice bit of exposition (they have an advantage because the baddies are distracted, per rules) in the bard song
gorgeous drawing of flames and glowing swords and all that
dumb joke from Elen
and a nice chunk of plot development.
This is why I read the strip. Eager for more.
Went back to re-read the last strip. Noticed for the first time that the baby has the beginnings of a beard. I’m assuming that means it’s a boy.
Depends on the campaign. Early editions of (A)D&D had bearded female dwarves. I don’t know if 3.5 had them or not, really, but it varied even then with the setting (Forgotten Realms dwarves did, Eberron dwarves didn’t).
One of the prequel books shows a carnival sideshow, where one of the attractions was a bearded lady. An attendee complains that it doesn’t count, because she’s a dwarf. So apparently, bearded female dwarves are a known thing in Stickworld, even if not all female dwarves have beards (maybe it’s just the style for them to shave).
Nor is this the first instance of a bearded baby in the strip: Nale’s always had a few strands of his goatee.
Damnit! False “New strip” alarm.
Good point. Maybe it’s Nale’s baby.
Sorry.

Clever! And now nobody will notice that the real “New Strip” notice is up!
I suppose that’s the SDMB equivalent of “slipping one past the guardian” or something. Well, not really, but I have to stay on topic.
