Description "Quite a load" is a comic I wrote and illustrated to submit to worldofwarcraft.com's comic contest.


The comic is based on a warrior gnome from the greated MMO game ever, World of Warcraft, and how the game has every character, no matter how much you give them to eat or drink, be in phenomenal shape. I believe this is due to what each character is able to carry around with them at all times.

This comic was an honorable mention in June of 2008 (here is the link [link] )

Oh man wouldn't that be fun. But, only if we could still rez like in the game, lol. Otherwise that would be a dangerous life!

Isn't it the truth! Add to the load all the quest junk we have to drag around until we turn it in, including severed heads and body parts.

Maybe the bags come with a permanent "freshness" spell? Of course Shirobe, my troll priest, would say, "What smell?"

I think we should send some GM's tickets saying we want car air fresheners to put in the bags. Or at least a dry cleaner in the game, lol. I wonder what a GM would say about that, hmm. . . I think I'm going to try it and see

Do you read "Order of the Stick"? I think they heroes in that tale went on a quest for a +20 epic-level car air freshener once. They needed it, too.

Well, you don't carry mounts, you carry their reins, whistle or whatever else, and eventually summon them.
The question is from where they get summoned...
And oh, the backpacks. My poor blood elves, carrying all of that! D:

JMarcDodsonJr In reply to thecrimsonkitune [2010-05-18 18:01:16 +0000 UTC]

My wife has a blood elf hunter. I have no idea how she even lifts those backpacks, lol.

Where do they get summoned from indeed. . .hmmmm? lol

thecrimsonkitune In reply to JMarcDodsonJr [2010-05-18 20:22:33 +0000 UTC]

Mine is a blood elf hunter too. What more, she has a devilsaur in, apparently, mobile stables. Huh...
And around 50-ish mounts, including a mammoth and huge proto drake.

Gah. Let's say our backpacks are like Doctor Who's TARDIS - bigger on the inside.

JMarcDodsonJr In reply to thecrimsonkitune [2010-05-22 22:04:14 +0000 UTC]

Devilsaurs are the coolest pets.

Hmm, like a black hole or vortex in the bags. Interesting thought.

I have a spirit beast Skoll, the ultra-rare one which I tamed by luck. Adore him. But yes, great pets.

Spirit pets look really cool. One of my low level hunters (I want to have enough toons to have all professions) has the white lion Eyechia (or however you spell it). I know I might want to upgrade eventually, but she's such a beautiful lion.

thecrimsonkitune In reply to JMarcDodsonJr [2010-05-23 18:57:42 +0000 UTC]

But she isn't a spirit beast. And I think this lion is male... But a beautiful one, yes.

Thanks. I came up with the idea after starring at my orc warrior and thinking he should be in a bodybuilding competition, but then realized pretty much every character should

^^ yeah, they should. At least all the male characters.

I really miss it too

I haven't played since my undergrad years, and with being married, working full time, and being a grad student, I simply just don't have time. After I get my masters and have more free time I'm going to be right back in the world of Azeroth!!! Hopefully I'll see you there
