Description
Another important rule for questing is having the right tool for the right job. Winslow is obviously some sort of fighter/warrior/berserker-type so axes are clearly going to be his thing. He has dozens in his collection, but I don’t think he’s ever come upon a monster so horrible that it required him to break out… Salma.Salma, as you can plainly see, is a massive double-bladed battleaxe forged in a Latin-American volcano by expatriate Scandinavian blacksmiths. It’s been etched with mystical double D runes and blessed by a dwarf king, a faerie queen, a dead pope, and, most recently, Selena Gomez. Salma is capable of dispelling magical enchantments and slicing through dragonscale, and can pass through airport metal detectors without raising any alarms. Hell, I can feel it’s power just writing about it.
Stay tuned next week for the THRILLING CONCLUSION to this adventure that’s only an adventure in Winslow’s head, apparently!
(Side note: Kurt’s expression in the center panel is modeled after a face my son makes all the time.)

Ok, I have a few points to make on this comic:
1) Your son makes the most adorable face. EVER.
2) Winslow's monster-slaying face is a bit epic (but not as epic as point number 1)
3) Next week is the CONCLUSION?! It had better be a darned good ending to quench my mighty thirst for ADVENTURE. You have been warned.

It has sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Maybe.

xD Love it, though ugh I hate ass-clowns like Kurt, I'm always like Little Winslow "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET THEM BE HAPPY AND USE THEIR IMAGINATION!? IT'S FUN!"

I think it's worse than just imagination.

True, Winslow is an odd one

That's quite the axe. The best any of my rpg characters have is a great stone hammer of justice, with a sock monkey tied to it. It belongs to a female dwarf who sports a unibrow, snaggletooth, and five-o'clock-the-next-day shadow. Salma clearly wins.

I try not to reach too far into my axe-hole. It causes chafing.

Only if you don't do it right.

I dare not ask how he got that gigantic thing into or out of his axe-hole. Seems a bit um.. ...much. >.<;
Go get em', Winslow! XD

Clearly you don't understand the magical properties of his axe-hole. There's all sorts of cool stuff down there.

Can't have 3 halves, only 4.
Half Troll
Half Orc
Half Ogre
Need one more half.
They left out the most scary half, TELEMARKETER.
When the creature has you at 1 hit point, you will be barraged with a series of calls that will cause 2d6 of psychic damage, 1d6 of physical damage and 3d6 of damage to the wallet. There are no saving rolls but you do get an onion roll.
I agree that one must have a week to get away.
I plan to go away to Pony World as soon as I collect enough hay.
The last time I checked out my Axe Hole was when I had a Colinoscopy.
Colin was able to verify that the axe was still there.
Looks great.

Of course it can't have three halves. That's the POINT.

That was close, the telemarketer would have been too much.

I was going ask you what are Scandinavian blacksmiths doing in Latin America, but then I re-read and noticed that they're expatriate. I hope the weather isn't too hard on them.

No one really needs a reason to move to Latin America. Those Scandinavians love the warm beaches and the tiny swimsuits.

Big, hairy Scandinavians in tiny swimsuits, yum...
