I LOVE these background characters in the tavern where Bill, Frank and Kohr are, that Jason Williams does occasionally as a background guest strip for days like this when I NEED a guest strip. Bit thanks to Jason for this, and we will return to Kohr’s tale on Thursday… I’ll give ya some extra comic goodness as thanks for your patience. 
Be sure to check out Jason’s Saturday comic, “Barwench Tales,” right here at LoB, and then check out Kevin Vassey’s Sunday comic “The Gnome Syndicate” to boot!!
All of the characters and comics are great! We wait patiently (grins teeth)
Actually, wooden the dwarf be the one hanging?
C’mon, tree! Fight puns with puns!
But he did! He gave him the brush off. Leaf now. warning. A good switching.
At least the dwarf didn’t call him a knot-head.
That’s all you’ve got? I may be going out on a limb saying this, but you need to branch out!
Yeh…. An egg-head like him should have all sorts of puns nested away.
I see the strip is branching out in new directions …. although, the lack of eye candy leaves a little to be desired; the dwarf comes up a bit short. Damn, but this is gonna take a log, log time!
You all crack me up!!!!! the puns are fantastic! Thanks all!

Wow….. He went out on a limb with that joke.
Gimlet and Tree’stache? (Or is that Treetoupé?)
Where’s the rest of the Nefarious 9?
Their fearless leader Golfclub? The Ranger Stumbler, whose true name is GMOcorn, son of Monsanto? (Who wields the mace Anvil, recast from the Chunks of the hammer Darbyogill?) O’dorf Sackett, the Schlob from the Stye, Rock-bearer. His hapless hireling, Spamslice Spammeat, miner. Legless, who goes about on his hoverchair, armed with his gun of blasting. Gimlet, we’ve spoken of. Yet another Schlob from the Stye and one from Guckland: Killjoy Brandydrink and Reddelicious Gook.
I’m almost afraid to ask if you came up with that yourself or borrowed that from another parody. And I thought your distaste for the “new” Klingons was intense. (Assuming that is distaste here, rather than merely the most involved humorous leg-pulling I’ve seen in a long, long time.)
I came up with it in a couple minutes. It just seemed appropriate with an ent and a dwarf.
It was brilliant. Totally daft, but brilliant.
Thanks.
hehe Put it to growing up reading Douglas Adams’ books…
I’m still laughing… XD XD XD
Why would a tree be drinking out of a wooden mug? Wouldn’t that be like a human drinking out of another human’s skull.
Sure, but that’s been done too. Said to give a nice head to the ale…
Well now, ent that a shame?
Very punny guys…
Not to worry, their bark is worse than their blight…
Isn’t anybody else wondering why there wasn’t a comic today?
Personally, I’m used to Dave having to deal with the random stuff that comes up that keeps him from updating.
…. but yes, I am wondering “why” as well.
Ooh! Ooh! I know! I know!
David is buried with other work and he’s sick, plus Jason (LoB’s Barwench Tales artist and emergency backup artist) was unavailable to do a strip for Thursday. I would have tried to do something, but was busy as well. So be patient Billbarians, we’ll get back to the Ballad of Kohr next week.
Thanks for the update, Don! We appreciate it.
Here’s hoping Dave gets better soon! [drinks ale]
NEVER anger and Ent…. just ask Saruman.
