You see a puff      
of smoke.

In a cloud of smoke 
a djinni emerges...

Djinni should have summoned a newt swarm.

But he's not a jackass genie.

Yay, Dudley has survived for three comics in a row. I sort-of feel sorry for Dudley, we should try to keep this streak going.

I laughed at this one..=D but why +13? that's supposed to be an unlucky number in NetHack. E regardless. @ais523: The biggest streak for Dudley not dying was in the old comic when he ascended for the 1st and only time. The 2nd time he tried to ascend a newt killed him on DLvl 1. :D I'll never forget that joke. Last edited: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:02:31

@SmashFan2005: Was that the original newt joke?
#6	Slandor	Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:52:54
The first time Dudley was killed by a newt, he'd been savescumming.

I cannot recall the orginal newt joke no... the original one was waaaaay before Dudley Ascended.

Classic setup.

I'm surprised there's no single comment to the Kring reference. Seems pretty well-known :). Btw, no comic today?
#10	Quint	Tue, 1 Sep 2009 16:55:30
It seems to be a corruption of "Sting"...what else?

The awkward pause is somehow so marvelously pulled off.
#13	xCheckPoint	Tue, 1 Sep 2009 20:59:08
I made a quick shot, just in case paxed is running out of strips...

A meta-meta-newt-joke. I'd been waiting for one of those.
#15	Sorceror	Fri, 19 Feb 2010 14:39:45
Do we have any meta-meta-meta-newt-jokes yet?
