Yay for LOTR references! And Kidneys!

He still has the bear arms? O.o

Eeee! Hehe Okay, so I am perhaps more tickled by this than I should be, but I have been on a LOTR kick for the past few weeks (rewatching all the movies, playing LOTRO, re-reading the books).

And... the Fork Of Truth returns! I hope we're building up to something big... like, FwooshFwoom big

Nice reference to the past issues. Especially the Fork of Truth. Though I do not remember it ever glowing before.

yea all richard artifacts ! cant belive those arms and kidneys didnt rots away

I was surprised to my friend. It looks like he has been taking good care of them though...I mean they are sooo shiny.



Perhaps it is simply catching the light for more drama...or maybe it glows now...either way I loved this page!!!

ROFLMAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAAH Richard you brilliant creature!!

That was great, i just love hoe he broke in with the pillaging shovel, and it was truly nostalgic to run through old ArtDickFacts (Richard Artifacts). I love how much he loved his kidney hat, and Richards facial expression when showing off the real kidney, an EPIC page overall.(I could care less about the LOTR refrence, it was all Richard on this page baby.)

Love that hat and sexy pose, Richard. Stay sexy.

I know they just came out with the blanket, But i really want to buy a kidney hat now.

Seriously that would be the perfect attire for any situation.

cool page, what a bearlock!

a little bit late, but happy birthday, Mr. Sohmer!

Whis up with Richard and trying to give Cale that pillaging shovel? Back when they were going into Kethencia Richard offered to share it with Cale... <.<>.>

Interesting, methinks...

Because he is actually very shareful.

hmm anyone notice the blue glow on the fork of truth, I'm thinking that theirs actually some magic to Richard's silverware

Everything Richard comes into contact with is magic.

I'm so enthused by the LOTR reference

And poor Cale >.< He looks so alarmed in that last panel. Not to mention Richard's pose is so.... model-esque XD

I'm not sure why I find this page so funny. maybe it's the nostalgia of revisiting all of richard's items/weapons (except the bear skull hat) or maybe it was the pose he was in but this is right up there in my list of favorite pages

P.S I'm back >=D

also Ray'd further breaks the chair! I'm thinking that think barely serves as a throne

Lol, i think you may be right, but i like to know what is going to happen we already know his kingdom is set he has everything he just needs the gnomes and i think we will see the rise of cale'anon king..


i really think that cale is shocked about all this, i mean he knows he is to be king doesn't he understand this?

Or is he just going with the flow to right which is wrong by helping people, and yes i been saying this for the last few threads he has everything to make strong kingdom happen and fight the north.

soh/lars i really CANT wait to see the battle and for cale to come out of his shock after all this

Does anyone notice that the hammer is almost as big as Ray'd?

That poor gnome and his chair..twice it's been broken. Cale...he look so..kingish there

Yet another challenger for Best. Page. Ever.

ok, hilarious things about this page:
a) all the completely useless stuff Richard carries around
b ) the way he ruins a serious moment/LOTR-reference
c) imho a good candidate for funniest thing ever: how Ray'd rips Toyk's throne apart just to prove his point! And not with his mecha-arm either!

Models (and teenage girls) only wish they had Richard's figure.
And is it just I, or is this really the first time anyone's actually said "Hey, you're King" to Cale's face? I mean, sure, he's always sorta been the defacto leader, but I think he's still technically in a state of servitude to Gid. Resurrection oaths and all that. So this King thing might shock him just a bit.
You know, shock him more then the just now realization that pillaging shovels apparently follow the same proper holding technique as tea cups. Which is just like Richard. Always so proper.

When you say ArtDickFacts fast it sounds like Arctic Facts. Just saying.


Maybe that's why he's alarmed!


... So it is.


Renewed shall be sword chair that was broken...

*is shot for lame pun*

Anyway, we have yet another piece to add to the "Devil Makes Prada" thing.

Since Richard has done it, as pointed out by Wyr, now there is a new rule of edicit. Whenever holding shovels, especially pillaging shovels, one must ALWAYS keep your pinky extended away from the handle. Punishment for breaking this new Richard code of Edicit is torture, fwoosh, death, revival, torture, and then another fwoosh, and then death again, from the fwoosh.

saw it coming with "You have my Mace"

also

too bad he didn't give his Bone Throne, made out of Bloodrage bones

We all did, but it doesn't make it any less funny

ALAS!!! the Fork of Truth make its return! LMAO

LotR and Richard's growing collection. One word:

Roflcopter.

You can always trust Richard to steal the spotlight. And thereby make life awesomer than it already was.


I just wish we could have seen some bloodrange faces in the last panel. I want to know how they feel about being mocked.

And I've really missed squeamish cale. he's so cute! *pinches cheek*

Lol, the gnome asked not to be fwoomed, so I guess Richard decided he needed a new, fabulous hat.

I remember everything but the kidney. Now I must find this elusive kidney ... wonder if Cale kept the blue wallet?

Wait, are you saying that the right to bear arms is useless? What are you, some sort of pinko?

Currently listening to Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Trouble Is...

Has Richard ever called it his Pillaging Shovel, or was that an invention of the forums? Because that would be the first forum invention that got put into the comic...I can't recall, and the comic is getting to large to search quickly!

Yes, Richard said it when they first entered Kethenecia.


Richard didn't rot away, either. Well, not entirely.


I noticed that it was much to large to be of any use to Cale.


...but no facepalm. And a reversal of Cale "finding him less horrifying with each passing day." And Richard didn't offer Cale the giant eyeball.

I wish Richard would stab someone with the fork, that would have made my day

While I think this page is hilarious, the biggest thing for me is how Richard with his kidney hat made me think of Mr. Burns whene he sings about making clothes from animals...

See my vest, see my vest,
Made from real gorilla chest...
Beret of poodle on my noodle
It shall rest...

He strikes the same pose as Richard when he's showing off his wardrobe.

Hmmm... Coincidence?

*claps* very nice.

I thoroughly enjoyed the fancy pinky.

Cale seems very surprised at all this loyalty swearing. Imagine how he'll react when he finds Richard has sent his undead army to Kethenecia lol

I actually just noticed, but tht is one big ass hammer that Krunch has there, i mean, it's almost as big as Cale when it's straight up.

And Ray'd should have said; 'You have my maces.' and Dorel seems a bit, i don't know, wimpy-ish with his 'magics' =P

This page seem crammed with references...

LotR has already been mentioned by many, and Bunny Bones mentioned a quite possible reference to Mr Burns 'See my vest'.

The way Dorel looks and the fact that he's a mage/shaman reminds me of god/demigod Baphomet.

There's also Elfquest in panel 1 and of course the Sword Fork of Turth.

Richard must have WoW-style backpacks, where raw fish can be kept indefinitely without rotting!

Hmm, you've got a fine point there. In fact, as a skinny, evil, very old guy there are multiple parallels between Richard and Burns and I can picture them moving/dancing in similar ways...

See, now there's the Richard we've been missing.

Sorry, but Don't Tase Me Bro and Mastercard just don't do him justice. Propbag ftw.

Yay! More LOTR!

I love Richard's kidney hat. It looks so dashing on him. Really brings out his yellow eyes.

there is at least a few differences bewtween Richard and Burns first Richard can move , second Richard is a undead warlock but other than that i don't think there are anymore BIG differences

oh and this page was awsome!!!

THE FORK OF TRUTH IS BACK!!!! hooray. and yay for the LOTR references

I'm pretty sure he called it his Pillaging Shovel the first time it appeared, actually.

I don't remember ever seeing the kidney hat before. Has it made a prior appearance?
