Jason Williams brings us another great installment of Barwench Tales! (We had a technological weekend hiccup, so I’m running Barwench Tales and The Gnome Syndicate this week as a thanks to these guys) This particular strip was created by Jason just last week in response to that hilarious Orc Stew Recipe by tennessee charlie (scroll down to the blog and you’ll see it) – Jason couldn’t resist, he told me to put on hold the one that was slated so he could do THIS one! Ah, INSPIRATION!
…Nope, can’t see it. Every so often, the comic just doesn’t show up, and all I get is that evil little box with the red X in it. *unhappysigh* And I was so looking forward to reading PsychoServer’s latest escapade…
I am blinnnddd! ….hang on, no the comic isn’t showing.
I’m not getting the strip. The page pulled up but not the strip. Anyone else having the same problem or is t just me?
Yes and me – no strip.
You’re lucky – I don’t even get a red X . . .
…I’m getting it…great job..oh,wait..that’s the ad on the side…never mind..
it… is…. AWESOME!!!! 2 polar bears wrasslin in a blizzard! you kinda hafta squint, and hang yer tongue out the side of your mouth. very important you hold yer mouth right…
no, i’m having the same “missing comic” issue… le sigh
yeah, i sent david an email
Nope. I can’t see it either.
And when you cannot see Sarah before you, you go paranoid and start looking all around.
I would say that I don’t have any strip. But I slept in different clothes than I wore yesterday. But the comic strip is not showing up. Bill broke the interweb with the axe to the tree.
My uberest apologies, folks. I’ve been having issues with strips loading properly into the ftp server, and inevitably ALWAYS when im away this happens… I will try to rectify this asap. Thank you for your patience, and sorry Jason!
i will post it on facebook as well
Don’t worry Mr. David, we all know the basic idea. Obnoxious customer being obliterated by barmaid. We can make up our own imaginary comic until you get the real one up.
Well, in the meantime, I could regale everyone with an epic tale about the Barwench’s Boss, a crate of rabid badgers, a bottle of fruit juice, and a roll of duck (dragon?) tape…
jason, i checked your website. like your art! but the lob page o’ the day ain’t there, at least i didn’t find it…?
No comic here for me as well
My apologies, folks. I tried to post the strip via my Droid but no luck. Im away from home and wont be back until Sunday evening. Fingers crosses The Gnome Syndicate posts (having ftp issues) tomorrow- otherwise Legend of Bill will indeed post Monday, and i’ll re-post Barwench Tales next Saturday!
You never know, it might not be an obnoxious customer being obliterated by the wench. It could be a schmoozy swashbuckler type flattering her up one side and down the other…and then making a hasty exit before she realizes he didn’t leave an actual tip. (The violence would then be either off-screen or in next week’s episode.)
Droid doesnt.
Barwench Tales is up.
Either the boss is trying to get rid of Sara the Saracen or trying to make the best of a bad situation…
Thanks david! and Tennessee Charlie, this ones for you! great recipe!
This comic is hysterical! Maybe she can just find where Bill was and pick up the left overs? I mean the bits are in the snow. That’s like refrigeration….right?
She doesn’t need a helmet. I don’t think she even needs a sword or mace. Just give her a tankard or platter… sit back & watch the splatter.
With Sarah on the job, orcs are now an endangered species.
The only good orc is a dead orc–but that doesn’t mean that I’d want to eat it! Always leaves a bad taste in the mouth…
I got the image, but… grammatical error in the last panel? “Luckily I do….” …. what?
Whoops! I get it now. Should have put the manager’s “speech balloon” on top; I read Sarah’s remarks first.
i laughed so hard, i pissed my pants.
Oh well it is a good thing Bill chopped up lots of parts for her
GREAT idea: an LoB/BWT crossover! (Redundant, I know, but this *would* the two storylines together…..)
Nice one, Jason.
i’ll bet if she tells the first one she meets who she is, it will gnaw off an arm for her and run!
Orc: Who are you?
Sarah: I am… ::ominous voice and music:: SARAH! ::thunderclap::
“Orc – the other green meat”
Strip is back! Yay! And so is our hunky dork, Bill. All is well with the universe? Running.
Thank you all for enjoying this strip, i am kinda overwhelmed by the kind words and response to it. thanks to you all, and thanks to David for letting me be part!

Kill the boss already!!!
David, Don, Jason, and Kevin: LONG LIVE THE BILLVERSE!! Hurrah!!
I love Sarah — I don’t think I’d want to be a customer, but I love Psycho Sarah. (And she’s the perfect one to go hunting for orcs)
And what do the residents of the Billverse call themselves? Several years ago someone asked one of the peasants of Id what they call themselves, and the peasant answered “Idiots” (it seems perfectly logical to me). Are the citizens of the Billverse “Billious”?
With Sarah on the prowl, I should feel sorry for the Orcs.
What’s really scary is that Saracen Sarah is a lot like my first crush… which lasted for six years— junior high and high school. The only real difference is that Meli- er, the “lady” in question never killed anyone, at least I assume so.
Is that scary or what? In several senses!
Omg I can SEE the tavern–no, wait, the visor’s down. Curse you, tournament gods! *shakes her battleaxe* XD
@Robert – First, thank you. I speak for all of us when I say it is a great joy working on the comics in the Billverse and reading your comments.
Second, yes, Sarah (don’t call her “Psycho” when she’s within earshot) can kick some serious Orc butt.
And third, the names of Legend of Bill residents hasn’t been officially determined. However, I’ve seen David call the fans “Billians” or “Legend of Billians”, while I’ve called them LoBbers.
*hugs for Jason* Oh you big mush you ! Don’t worry, I won’t tell.
Want a name for the inhabitants and fans of the Billverse? Why, the best choice is obvious: “Billiards”!!!
Why not? They get behind the eight-ball, get knocked about… pick your analogy and accompanying atrocious puns.
Wait, I know orcs are bad, but eating sentients is just wrong. Even when the threat of starving to death is over your head, it’s still not something to celebrate.
Oh Johanan! That literally made me LOL!
Oh the puns we can come up with.
“They get it in the hole.” “They play with thier pockets” Oh it’s never ending!
I cherish you for this all the MORE!
barbarian-billys????????? billy-tones?????
I still like BarBillians. Makes us all sound tough and rough! *paints a wall pink*
lol, I’ve always liked “Billians”… but Barbillians makes me chuckle. LOL
Any other ideas for names?
P.S. I’ll be running Sunday’s Gnome SYndicate tomorrow to make up for it’s loss on Sunday… I’m moving this week so LoB will return next Monday! 
@David – Wow, I didn’t know you could alter the space-time continuum!
Don, i believe we have underestimated Davids Powers. All kneel
@pixie — i like your BarBillians. reminds me of dumbbells. i always like when i read dumbbells, until i dropped one on my foot.
@ Tennessee Charlie. You read dumbbells? *is lost and pretty.” Oh look shoes!
Even if The Rest of Ye All (even Pixie, bless her fuzzy lil’ dandelion heart) take on “BillBarians”, I’m going to stick with “Billiards” – if only to annoy the rest of you.
And if someone sends Psycho Sarah after me to change my mind, remind her first that I have one weapon even she can’t get around: I can talk her to death.
