The first strips (as the name suggests) presented the comic as a fake news source for the [=WoW=] universe a la Website/TheOnion, complete with advertizing parodies, but over its short life it has quickly grown into something more thematically bizarre, technically complex, and universally silly.
The strip incorporates {{Machinomic}} tactics, typographic gags, and a hefty helping of Photoshop to create anything from story-driven multipanel cartoons to parody magazine covers. Individual entries satirize the game universe as well as the real world culture of [=WoW=] fans, with a special emphasis on forum debates, recent news, and controversies within the player base.
As such, it is decidedly InJoke-heavy. If you stumbled upon this page with no knowledge of World of Warcraft and its fan community, then this is not a comic for you. Indeed, you probably just left before getting this far in the description.
