I tried to resist writing this one and I couldn’t and I’m sorry. 🙁
If the reference is lost on you, here’s what they’re singing (sort of):

I’m gainfully employed! I’m a delivery driver as of yesterday. Wish me luck!

By Gorm, seems to me it’s been ages since you went unemployed. Oh, this is great news! Top luck to you with the new job, may it last and be stable.
Also this page is fricking great and nonsensical, i love it.
To me, D&D is always at least ridiculous with maybe a dash of cosmic horror. Kinda like an 80s cartoon version of Conan the Barbarian.
Plus, considering what level 1 go through to level up, going from Level 0 to level 1 could be done with a training montage.
Now all of Faerun knows you’re here!
Congrats, Bart.
This is in your wheelhouse — you already deliver great comics. 😉
You’re a wheelhouse. >:(
(thank you)
He’s only in a wheelhouse if he does the deliveries in Volkswagon van or motorhome, otherwise it’s just wheels.
You’re lucky I can’t throw tomatoes through the internet.
Or unlucky. What if I wanted free tomatoes?
this might be me nitpicking, but shouldn’t “wait you guys rehearsed this.” have a ? at the end, or was is supposed to be a statement?
It’s a statement, not a question. Only intonated statements, ie. statements used as questions, have a questionmark at the end. Thus we can infer that the statement isn’t intonated – she isn’t seeking reassurance on the statement, she’s just stating it. No puzzlement, just realisation. Think “I see what you did there” moment.
I tried to square up Sera’s dialogue boxes so that it came off that she was understanding what was going on, but I don’t think it helped. :p
But yes, this was intended, as per Lucas’ comment.
I’ve loved most of your strips here, but I think this is my favorite so far! (And can stand alone pretty well too, with sufficient context). I almost never comment on the internet, but here’s my +1. Great job, and congrats on the job!
Thanks <3 Always glad when we make a lurker say hi. =)
