Order Of The Stick

So, when was the last time you say a webcomic pull off a completely captionless comic?

And do it well?

And tell a detailed story in the process?

I love Order Of The Stick.

==============
Edit: I am told by several people that this is much less awesome if you missed the setup.

So, here's the setup.

Comic 1
Comic 2

The one above is Comic 3.

sorry, man, but could you explain it to me? I don't get it.

Okay. Roy (the black guy) and Whatshername (the pixie in the dress) have been flirting for a while, and they've finally gone to dinner.

This comic is the dinner.

Conversation, telling stories, laughing, having a good time, pausing, she leaves the table briefly.

He stands up and celebrates the date, loudly.

He sits back down.

She returns and he's looking totally innocent, like he wasn't just celebrating on top of the table.

I thought it was cute, anyway.

Thanks for asking for the explaination, I didn't quite get what he was doing on the table either. But I got all of it but the last two squares. :)

OOTS, is indeed, the bomb. Burlew just gets it on so many levels. Need to buy the books one of these days.

Yes, you do. Dungeon Crawlin' Fools is OK, it's a very clean and well-done reprint of the first hundred or so comics with additional notes &c, but On The Origin Of PCs, which is the prequel book, is fantastic.

OH thank you for spreading the LOVE that is OOTS.

I will try to stop squeeing now.
