scans_dailyAs they've done a short standalone story for Christmas, I felt like sharing one of my favourite web comics, Guilded Age.
Guilded Age is written by T Campbell and Phil Khan, originally drawn by Erica Henderson, now by John Waltrip.
It's set in Arkhera, a universe very much like the universe of World of Warcraft (this is not a coincidence), following the adventures of the Gastonian Peacemakers: Byron Hackenslash (human berzerker), Syr'nj (elven medic), Gravedust Deserthammer (dwarven mystic), Frigg Akerfeldt (human loudmou...er...crusader), E-Merl Danielssen (half-elven magician), Rachel Al-Abinya (human priestess), Scipio the Scorpion (human fighter), and Bandit Keynes (gnomish...er...bandit. It's a Gnome thing).
It's dear Bandit who is important to this story.
This particular story doesn't give a very strong idea of the comic's general tone, as it's a 'break' over the Christmas holiday.
But it does give a good idea of John's rather amazing ability as a mimic of other artist's styles.
And, there you have it, folks. I think Mr Geisel would be happy.

Also, there's one more page I didn't post, because it wasn't up yet, and for some reason, it never occurred to me that they wouldn't end the story on a Wednesday.
The entire comic is gold. (Can't say much about my favourite aspects (aside from Bandit), without spoiling, but WoW isn't the only video game it reminds me of.)
