Oglaf

Pretty sure this is a parody of the scene common to barbarian stories where a witch/seer/whatev demands sex for location of macguffin even though with the description provided they could just get laid by asking any guy so it makes no sense that would demand sex as payment.

The Answer for why? They are fucking morons.

I read it the same way Alice did.

Quite the slow learner, aren't we?

Their is a new comic but I wanna talk about this one since it managed to make me crack up.

And they all grew up to be Spartan Warriors.

The newest one made it difficult to breathe.

"I would find him and I would forgive him. I would forgive the shit out of him."

I'm still laughing.

THAT WAS AMAZING.

I can't shake the "Love and tolerate the shit out of you" meme vibe. It makes the strip even funnier

Perhaps it should be "The Reign of Lifeblood" so it doesn't sound so grim......what? What's everyone staring at?

This newest one. Why. WHY! Why are you so damned funny.

Mom was right! Honesty IS the best policy!

I laughed out loud. As much as I like the main story line, I really do enjoy the one-offs more.

And the artist is really good with the facial expressions. I can't put my finger on exactly what changes in the girl's face between panel 4 and 5 but something does. And it positively makes panel 6.

Oh lord, I laughed. XD

^^ I never put my finger on that, but you're right, the facial expressions always just sell this comic.

Oh and since nobody seems to have mentioned it in this thread the chick who does Oglaf also does Platinum Grit, which is well worth checking out if you want to see more work in the "virginal gingers being tormented by psycho nymphomaniacs" theme. It has ways less dicks and boobies though, so it may disappoint some Oglaf fans :)

The latest one made me laugh out loud again. I really like most of her one-offs.

I love the series' off-the-wall sense of humor on fantasy conventions like "Homecoming" Good stuff.

On Zeus and his horniness.

Zeus' golden rain incident was always particularly creepy.

I love Olgaf, but it always makes me feel so uncomfortable...not sure if its in a good or bad way.

Does anyone know what the current oglaf's reference is?

It's a fox who gives a guy a princess made of sticks and then makes him marry her. And then err... consummate the marriage.

It's amusing, but it feels like it is specifically referencing/making fun of something, like a lot of her one offs do.

Anyone got any ideas?

I'm only getting the general trickster archetype fox.

I think it's the whole "help a wild animal, get a random wife" fairy tale that is being joked here.

I think that's an actual Japanese fable, but I don't know the specifics of the story.
