I love Sally's lines. "Wesa makes up our own luck!"

She's getting downright ''scary''...

So David Morgan Mar is taking a page out of XKCD's playbook and trying to intentionally start an internet meme. And yes, XKCD has attempted it before, at least once.

Jar Jar, you're a genius!

I fully support Morgan-Mar's meme-smithing.

Just my two cents, but memes do not work that way. It's called forcing a meme, and it's frowned upon.

I'm sure - or at least I hope - that DMM meant no harm. It's more of an internet experiment than a meme... I don't think it's intended to last. He just mentioned the phrase, the readers all went on to verify, and the internet monster turned it into a thing.

Forced meme or not, it's an interesting analysis of how the internet works - he took a phrase that meant nothing and, by mentioning that it got no google responses, it quickly developed into spam site material. The internet is, now more than ever, kinda like a living thing...

"Coruscant. The entire planet is one big city."

I'm kind of surprised that DMM didn't even link to his previous (and much more thorough) thrashing of the idea here and here. That's 8 comics making fun of Coruscant, right there.

I suspect he didn't want to go through the email barrage again.

Well, that's a problem, because he couldn't get away with Ben not complaining and complaining about it will generate emails. His best bet really would've been saying "Yeah, I've already gotten enough emails about it".

Actually I randomly peeked at the D&D forums today and saw he posted about it. Basically "we know IWC people are tired of it but D&D is separate and it had to be there. That said, it's not the focus."

WOW. That was creative. I guess that's why Yoda didn't give anyone a chance to interrupt that speech in the movie.

145 I've got a bad feeling about this.

Specifically, it looks like the Irregulars are setting up that old chestnut "The Balance Of The Force means an equal number of Jedi and Sith". Blehhhhh.

So apparently Ric OliƩ's job description includes "describe every planet we visit to Anakin".

It's amazing that they haven't ripped up Sally's character sheet yet. Too funny!

Note how fast the DM went along with it. I guess they needed some way to take out their insanity on the players...

Funny, I was expecting Annie to be try to renegotiate while Ben just acted bewildered. We've got all our archetypes here—loonie, munchkin, two real roleplayers and what I guess you could call a "real man".

Oh my god...

This is easily the best use of the screenshots so far. Especially panel 4 and the last panel.

Ep 161

I love the title of this one. Also, Artoo is "short and cuddly".
