The other day I suddenly thought: What if there were two gamers, and they played games, and while playing games they also talked about games? And what if they were placed in a traditional milleu for such an exchange? To wit: A couch. And thus was the idea for todayās comic formed. Cutting-edge, avant-garde stuff, I know. Tune in next time and check out this idea Iām working on where a dateless loser trades barbs with his cute but sardonic talking pet.
The conversation we see in the first half of todayās strip is nearly a verbatim transcript of a conversation with my brother, who is a World of Warcraft player. Well, ex-WoW player. Is there such a thing? Or are you āonce a player, always a playerā? I would suggest that since your account is never actually deleted, itās probably a lot like being an alcoholic. Youāre never cured, only ārecoveringā or ārelapsedā. If this is the case then Iām also a recovering WoW player.
