“Geez Ray, you always seem to have plenty of explosive devices. What’s the deal with that?”

“Let’s just say I had a troubled past…”

I realized I’d forgotten to add the previous storyline “The Fitness Column,” to the sidebar, and the storylines page. So I added it now, it’s a good time to go back and read it all at once.

I still haven’t figured out if my stories make more, or less sense when you read them in one sitting, as compared to waiting for each separate strip. Good luck.

Today’s strip is a few hours late, sorry about that, but here’s the exciting conclusion to our foray into the exciting world of insane religious cults based on genetically abnormal rodents. Hard-hitting topical social commentary, as always, here at the Dorks.

In some ways, I feel like it’s not a true “nerd-culture” comic if I don’t throw in some D&D references. I got into the D&D band-wagon pretty recently, I didn’t grow up with it like most nerds do (blame that on the “D&D is evil and will send you to hell” movement) but it’s a lot of fun, and a constant source of humor. Don’t worry, I just have a couple of these jokes to get out of my system, this isn’t a storyline or anything…

I don’t quite understand why it gets such a bad rap among some people. I guess some of it’s more vocal fans are kinda creepy, and that can be dissuading. But really, it’s just a fun game, and I think encourages good problem solving and social skills. And seriously, if you play Warcraft, you can’t make fun of people who play D&D… That’s like a Trekkie making fun of a Star Wars fanatic.

Atleast we can all make fun of Babylon 5 fans.
