Rich Burlew, Tiny God

Category: Asides

I’m not going to recommend Order of the Stick. If you aren’t reading it yet, you probably don’t want to be.

I just wanted to note that today’s strip was really funny. Like, really funny on a deep and profound level. I laughed multiple times at the punchline, because the full comprehension of the punchline requires SO MUCH FORTHOUGHT as to be a work of art in and of itself.

By my guess to full appreciate this single comic strip, you need to have read hundreds and hundreds of comic strips. Just to get to the point where you can even understand the strip, let alone find it humorous.

I love you Rich Burlew. Keep on shining.

    I absolutely loved that punchline too. It was years in the setup and perfectly timed.

    I agree, actually – I’ve not read any of the previous comic strips, but the punchline there was good. However, if I hadn’t been expecting something really good, I probably would have lost interest halfway through as it’s a fairly long strip…

    I gotta agree, I loved that punchline! I wanted to post the strip but realized only long time fans would appreciate it. Totally awesome.

    Oh, man. I love Order of the Stick. If only we could have a comic each day… I’d pay for that.
