    Have you ever noticed how humans walk like this? But dwarves walk similar but much closer to the ground?

      Phil does all of the alt text when he uploads pages after lettering them. He could not letter tonight and T took over, thus no alt text. Alt text will come later, please check back.

        So… T’s not able to make up funny one-liners based on the page’s content? O.o

        Interesting…

        Anyways, I hope Phil’s not sick. :[

          I doubt he’s sick. If he were sick he would be at home near a computer and able to do stuff. No, sometimes we have lives.

            Lulz. I’m just being concerned for his well-being, just as much as I would be if you couldn’t draw a page or T couldn’t write his half of everything. :]

      There is now alt text.

      Erica, I appreciate your trying to cover for me here, but if I’m doing Phil’s job I need to do Phil’s job, period.

      The alt text may change later, though, since as primary comic-poster Phil has the privilege of redoing it as he sees fit.

      So you all need to refresh the page every few hours, is what we’re really saying here. :-D

        (In my mild defense, it is WILDLY confusing that our system’s interface has three separate places where you can add “hovertext,” and only one of them works. That doesn’t absolve me of the need to check that sort of thing in the Preview Post, but it is kinda freaky.)

      My version of Opera has decided on its own recognizance to stop showing alt text entirely, so I have to get it by “Inspect Element” anyway.

    Heh. Gravedust is going for the deconstructionist alt-comedy angle, but no one’s getting it…yet. Clever as he is, I suspect he may wrap up leaving his audience most uncomfortable. And probably calling for his blood.

      Nah, he’s a dwarf. Stereotypes dictate that they’ll be spilling slightly hemoglobin-ized alcohol at the night’s end.

    I thought Bandit stole the alt text.
    No joke. I mean there was a moment where, it being late, I thought Bandit stole the alt text.

    I do hope Gravedust concludes his act with prudence and measure.

    “A Troll, an Elf and a Dwarf walk into a bar…”
    “No wait, only the Troll and the Elf do, the Dwarf walks UNDER the bar!!”

    Why can’t you borrow money from a Dwarf?”
    “Because they’re always a little short. HA HA HA HA HA! Get it? DWARVES are SHORT!

    So the Dwarf said to the Human… uh… something about… and then the Human took a uh…”
    “Anyway the story ends with the Dwarf dead and the Human beheaded and it turns out I got all the gold! Muhahahahahaha

    How do you tell the difference between a dwarf and a heavily bearded midget? One wears a gold ring to symbolize his marriage, and the other wears a gold ring because he’s married to it!

        Fascinating, Captain. When your posts approach warp speed, it appears they actually warp, causing spelling from another dimension to seep through!

      Gravedust is substituting his class ranks in Embittered Communicator with the Deceased for a perform skill check and he gets to add any one of his mental ability scores to his check result. I would guess that he is using Wisdom at the moment. The total check result is probably about a 15, maybe a bit higher.

      Interesting. I had heard that Steve Miller was called ‘The Gangster of Love’ (other known aliases, ‘Maurice’, ‘The Space Cowboy’) but I was unaware of any alliances or connections to G.A.

          He ‘wants to show you a real good time’ and doesn’t ‘want to hurt noone’, so I kinda assume he’s CG.
