I would have thought Umbra or someone would have made this thread already, oh well. Anyways, I thank Umbra for introducing me to this webcomic.
Looking for Group is a fantasy-themed Canadian webcomic written by Ryan Sohmer and drawn by Lar DeSouza. The Comic follows the adventures of Cale'Anon and Richard, as well as their companions. Since its launch on November 26, 2006, it has received positive attention from the webcomics community at large.
Looking for Group's Ryan Sohmer (the author of Least I Could Do) and Lar deSouza (the artist of Least I Could Do) draw the themes of Looking for Group from many influences, such as Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series,"Dungeons and Dragons", Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series, George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (with several acknowledged news posts of this), and Blizzard Entertainment's popular MMORPG video game World of Warcraft. The art style and the title imply that it was originally intended as a parody of World of Warcraft - the four main characters resemble four of the Horde races in World of Warcraft. Though the comic began as purely humorous in tone, it soon shifted to a more serious (albeit complicated) adventure, with most of the remaining comedy carried by Richard the warlock. A recurring gag in the comic features characters resembling famous fantasy characters such as Frodo Baggins, Obi Wan Kenobi and a Smurf appearing and then immediately being killed. Dialogue from The Lord of the Rings is often parodied, and pop culture references in medieval guise abound. The comic is currently updated twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
I just.. I just love this webcomic. You should try it!
The "FWOOSH" Gauntlet: In other words, your hand/fist will immediately be covered in flame, allowing your punches to have a bit of a kick. Using heat-resistant metal, the gauntlet would be riddled with holes (each connected to a separate tube). In the forearm part of the gauntlet, would be fuel cells to which the tubes would connect. In order to open the cells, you must bend your wrist backward to pull the opening lever. On your middle finger and thumb are two flint packs. Once the tubes are filling with gas, snap your fingers to ignite your fist. The fuel would only last about 60 seconds, so make every one count. Proper cleaning prevents carbon build-up that can lead to fuel blockage, and consequently, your hand exploding inside the gauntlet.
