OMG….Drunk Bill?! Oh this is going to be bad….so very bad. And how cute is Frank reminding him he’s a big rough tough fightin barbarian and doesn;t drink chocolate milk!
I know! Right? My first reaction: OMG! Has Bill ever been drunk before ..?
More importantly, our heroes are stone broke. Wonder how the tab will be settled? Maybe a manly wager over a game of Tiddlywinks, or somesuch, is in order. Don’t laugh: Tiddlywinks can be brutal, totally put someone’s eye out. Especially in a tavern setting.
Wow – just noticed that for the first time ever, GoComics appears to be one strip AHEAD of the official site… I won’t wreck things here with any spoiler comment, so I’ll just say “lethally funny as ever, DR, keep it up!”
*Psst, come over here* If you’re referring to the strip with the treant and the dwarf in the bar, thats a guest strip that Jason did about a week ago. Monday’s strip is “still undergoing production”.
Sure, all those other guys work with a “buffer”, even weeks of strips in advance in case of emergencies. A bunch of wimps! You guys, I see, work right on the edge, adding the finishing touches just seconds before the publishing deadline – just like real barbarians would. Good for you! Have a chocolate milk on me!
I’m not sure orange was a good shade for Bills’ tutu, Don, but I think you got the pink ballet slippers just right. It really made Bill’s interpretive dance telling of killing the world’s toughest fire dragon sparkle. He obviously payed some attention when Gypsy was doing her dance.
Uh oh…. I have a feeling that the combination of alcohol and stories of Kohr killing Frank’s people might trigger another Billzerker Rage…
…. or just result in Bill getting stupid and passing out on the floor.
Don, I humbly accept your correction! I have just rediscovered and occassionally commented on recent past strips that I missed. It wasn’t so much an internet time-warp as working night shifts – this kind of kills any desire when you stagger home to sit in front of ANOTHER computer screen caching up with things. All you want to do is sleep… today is a day off, I am no longer jet-lagged and I can catch up. The Ent strip was terrific, btw. I have freely commented in the appropriate place. As for “How did the coloring turn out?” I can asure you it will be perfect. It always is…
Getting the milk and the chocolate fresh aren’t the problem. Making the chocolate milk fresh isn’t the problem. Surviving the wrath of your drinking partner, IS the problem. Maybe someone can tell Bill they serve Kahlua Mocha?
It is possible to get Irish cream liqeur of the Baileys kind (do you have this in America? A not-bad sweet-tasting confection of cream-based liqeur heavily flavoured with whiskey and deceptively potent – unlike other dairy-based produce it stays fresh for years) in a chocolate form. Therefore at least one alcoholic chocolate-milk drink is on the market, but Bill would be wise not to ask for a pint. There’s Tia Maria, of course, but while it tastes of chocolate there’s no milk in it – adding milk would curdle it…
In America perhaps, but I’m thinking none of this is available in a medieval barbarian tavern. My guess would be maybe Ale, possibly Mead, and whatever local moonshine is available. For Bill, I would recommend the Ale, I think, and stay away from the ‘shine.

Poor Bill. What’s he going to do now without his manly chocolate milk?
Bill’s getting smarter after all…. or IS he?
urggh. ordering chocolate milk in a bar, it would come soured and in chunks, you know, like that milk carton that had an expiration date in 2003 July.
lest we forget, barbarian taverns do not have refrigeration.
I assume they keep a chocolate cow in the back for such occasions.
well, of course. this is billiverse physics working here.
No, they just feed a regular cow Hershey’s syrup and have a barbarian or two spin it over head like you see in those commercials.
That’s impossible – where would they get Hershey’s syrup from?
Maybe the gnome agency sells it? Gotta pay for those pens, papers and salaries somehow.
Famous last words
Bill drinking?? Oh dear… this can only end badly… Though as long as Frank stays sober they have a chance.

The idea of Bill getting drunk… wellup, it’s gonna be entertaining…
Then the Dark Queen comes in and drags him off in a drunken stupor. Is this the end of our favorite barbeque-ian?
Uh oh…. I have a feeling that the combination of alcohol and stories of Kohr killing Frank’s people might trigger another Billzerker Rage…

Oh this will be most interesting.
maybe bill wil explode into his barbaric form after a few real drinks
that would be jawsome!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the feedback as always, Billbarians!!
