I think that Hctib made a class-action lawsuit against Richard through some sort of demonic legal system? you dont have to deserve punishment in order for some idiot to sue you.

i am kind of reminded of that Next Generation episode when Q decides to put the human race on trial... only this will be a bit less serious than that xD
but seriously, does that actually count as suicide?

So I wasn't the only one who thought that!
Interesting that the judge is one of the dragons. Hm. I wonder if the whole thing is just Richard's hallucination, or if it's real. If the former, I can see Richard hallucinating the various demons, but why would he hallucinate one of the humanoid dragons from Kethenecia as judge? And if it's the latter, and Richard is stranded in the glowy Otherplace where the archmage and his dragon ally are sitting watching reality like TV, why are the imp and the various demons there too?? I do hope it's just a hallucinatory realm.
Although I must admit I didn't expect the imp. After the judge said "will the defendant's counsel step forward" and before I scrolled down to see the last row of panels, I expected Richard's defence lawyer to be CALE. Seriously.
Although now I wonder if the counsel for the prosecution will be Cale. "Your Honour, when I first met the accused, he incinerated me with little provocation. Off with his head!"

If a clone counts as a separate person, then it's murder. Otherwise it's suicide. But then, some societies count(ed) suicide as a sin/crime, too.
As the saying goes, they (the religious types) get you coming (into this world) and going...

We don't really know what he is on trial for yet though. The judge just asks 'How do you plead?'. There is no mention as to whether this is related to his murder/suicide. They (the writers) may just have been getting the other Richards out of the way before moving onto this court session. Knowing Richard though, the general theme of the trial will probably be death.

Gah, he's back. I always hate the whiny, monologuing-type villains.
Richard doesn't look too great in orange.
Also, the courtroom looks more like it's filled with aliens than fantasy creatures. I suppose time/space continuum plot lines lead to more sci-fi characters.

How did a court just get summoned into the Plane of Suck? Movable courts for the undead... I didn't think undead had courts o.O
Seeing Richard in orange isn't really nice, how bout a tux?
malkavian
May 22 2008, 05:51 AM
lol tobrain, thats all i could think about when a court appeared out no where...
but on a serious side, i have to wonder about this, as soon as he asked himself:
Does that count as suicide?
and at that time you hear the gavel...
Makes me wonder if the plane of suck is actually a manifestation of Richards mind as in a dream state plane...
which would really mean that benny saying only he can get himself out, which would be right to say that Richard's either a sleep or this plane is feeding off what he thinks would happen to him, and besides little bitch in this realm... that makes no sense unless he somehow transported him self or is thinking what would happen to himself if he was ina court trial predicament..

Now I know why the judge dragon reminded me of that Next Generation episode with Q putting Mankind on trial! It's the weirdly shaped cylindrical headdress the dragon wears! I swear, it's the same (or very similar) to the one Q wore. And both are wearing very similar costumes: Q had red and black robes with black cuffs and red gloves, and the cloth from the black headdress covering his neck and throat too; the dragon's costume looks almost identical except his outfit it is cut more like a skintight catsuit with a belt than robes. But he wears red gloves, too, because the dragon's skin is green, not red.
I couldn't find a screenshot from the actual episode, but I found (weirdly) a picture of a Q action figure in the "judge" outfit from the episode in question.
The similarities between Q and this dragon are too obvious to be coincidence. Lar did this on purpose. Nice homage.

Oh gods. I am in the most exquisite and delicious pain EVER. it hurts to laugh so hard....it does!
I love the lord of the dance quip....and I agree with whoever mentioned orange is NOT richards color.
he looks almost....wimpy without his shoulder pads.
I believe it was my brother who informed me that the most important this in WoW was the size of your shoulder pads.....if this is so than richards rock and he is sad without them. =(

Okay...this just gets weirder and weirder, but then, that's why I keep reading.
Actually, considering the fact that I just finished driving for 14 hours straight from Fayetteville, AR to Colorado Springs, CO with just me, my Honda and a stack of CD's, nothing should be making sense to me right now.

"Punch-drunk" doesn't begin to describe it.

As it's Richard, it's probably going to be about the few murders he's comitted. Aren't I great?
My question is why Hctib Elttil shud defend Dick? (Yeah, I'll either die of a FHWOOOM or a knife, depending on if Richard or the Richard fans reach me first) That dragon guy seems a bit obsessed with justice, so probably the little bitch will forgive Dick in some way.. any ideas on how?
Anyway this is my first LFG forum post, so forgive me

See, it's never a good thing when your own imp is your big nemesis/supervillain. It indicates a certain lack of ability in the "hearts and minds" department. Who knew it was even possible to be so self-absorbed and repugnant that you pissed off hell?
(I love the notion that it might be about something evil Richard failed to do though.)
"OOM?" was pretty classic.

It's the second pinching-the-bridge-of-your-nose facepalm from Richard in as many weeks. (He did one on page 149, too.)
Truly, Cale is contagious!
Other than that, this update mainly helps to set up the next one. There's not much story in here yet.
However, after we're done with the Richard antics, can we get some Krunch and Benny backstory, please?

Yeah, I've been hoping for this for quite a while as well, you don't have to give it all away at once, but some more tidbits would be nice! Probably been hoping for this since the "He left because of me" comment when I think about it.

Not dread, but wants to make dead.
Bitch succeeded once in an attempt to piss Rich off, whereas the latter has to practically look at the imp and he's gone.

Last thing I was expecting (sans the first panel, that was pretty obvious), but when it happened I was somehow not surprised. So, this is how Richard will get his 'soul searching' done in the Plane of Suck. But then again, I don't think this is the Plane of Suck. Given its occupants and proceedings (pun intended), I think this is the Demonic Plane Richard banished Hctib to the last time we heard the squeaky little freak.
It makes sense at least. Aside from this being a mere hallucination on Richards part, where else would he end up full of demons and Hctib? Last time Little Bitch got booted out of Richard's sight, he was sent there. He probably complained. Then when Richard shows up....
Hctib: SothenIwaslikewecouldtotallytrickthePharesintodestroyingallthehumansforusandthenIwouldbecomesupremerulerofeverythingandthenitwillbemekickingeverybodyelsearoundforonceand-
