OK, Foggy, that was cruel.
I support Hal’s proposal and furthermore recommend that moderators edit posts that don’t have bolded text. I don’t care whether the color is red or blue. And the top post in this thread should be edited to make this thread-specific policy clear.
This wasn’t a huge problem for me in the old thread though: I’m simply saying that the idea is a good improvement.
As for colors, here are some options in size 5:
Red!
Orange!
Blue!
Black!
Yellow!
Green!
DarkSlateBlue!
Measure, you passed up a golden opportunity for the Stroop effect there. I wouldn’t have been able to resist.
I never had a problem with it but, if they’re going to do it, I’d prefer blue or dark green over red or something else obnoxious.
Meh. I’m fine if someone wants to do the NEW STRIP IS UP thing. I don’t find it useful, but it doesn’t bother me if that becomes the new things.
Isn’t that the whole point?
Sure, but it fulfills its purpose in a moment and then continues to be obnoxious forever.
Just for the record, it shows up in 947. That was the piece of information that the evil spirit got out of Durkon’s memory.
No kidding, I mean I think we have not seen it outside of Durkon’s mind palace, therefore we don’t know if Durkon made it up.
That’s true: a notable drawback.
Only red or yellow are obnoxious though.
Definitely. And I don’t think it will work, because it can be readily explained by the negative energy infusion.
It’s nonetheless a significant development as it shows that Durkon can yank Durkevil’s chain. I take it that Durkevil can ultimately acquire any the information he that he needs if he has sufficient tenacity. Which he may lack.
Perhaps Malack acquired his even temperament after negotiating with inner Malack for a while.
Hmmm. Belkar’s idea was to stake Vampire-Durkon just to be safe and resurrect him later.
And now it appears Belkar was right!
This is a worse threat to the fabric of the Universe than the Snarl! :eek:
Broken clock, etc… Belkar’s idea is always “stab it with fire first, maybe do something with or to it later. Or not. Better : just have a sammich later !”. It was bound to be a sound plan eventually ![]()
#949 Method Doctor
Elan would be a better doctor if he didn’t stab his patients when he cast CCW.
But he’s a bard, he’s probably not getting many chances to ham it up on the airship, so I won’t blame him too much.

So, I can’t tell from the image in that last panel – does the scalpel wound in the chest (which was helpfully captioned with that “POKE!” sound effect!) get healed by the Cure Critical Wounds, or is that a new wound that doesn’t get cured by the magic?
Also, the new font is kind of bugging me.
Nah, it’s perfectly in character for Durkon from way back. (Actually I think “Thor’s taint!” is even grosser than “Thor’s nuts!”, personally.)
The wound is still there in the last panel, although it is difficult to see.
What about “Thor’s unsanitary ear canals!”
