BIG round o’ drinks to Jason Williams for this TRIPLE-sized Barwench Tales strip for our Monday!
My apologies, Billbarians, for the absolute absence and lack of strips. I went COMPLETELY ill all last week, had a ton of work on some large projects (one of which I will announce SOON, and all you fellow geek/Trekkian types out there will LOVVVE this) and was totally incommunicado, then immediately had a convention to attend, so please accept my apologies for the disappearance and lack of word about Kohr’s tale, etc! I AM, however, back in the saddle, and ready to rock. New LoB comes Thursday, and until then, enjoy this FANTASTIC Barwench Tales strip (didn’t post Saturday for a hold-out to today) until then, and be sure to chekc out Kevin Vassey’s newest Gnome Syndicate strip from yesterday (click the TGS icon above)! HUZZAH! *Barwench Pixie, an order of drinks for my fellow travelers here at the Inn, and some NyQuil for ME!*
*pours a round of drinks, makes a warm fire and some warm lemon, honey and whiskey for David* This will knock it right outta ya! Maybe….But then again you’ll be to happy to care so drink up!
On a serious note, lemon and honey warmed up in the micro is a great way to help you feel better. The lemon has vitamin C and the honey has antibactarial properties. The Whiskey (if you choose it) numbs the heck outta yer throat. Glad you are back and ok but get better! We can wait if we have to. *tucks the covers around you. Get some rest too!
drinks on the house? a terrific idea.
give me my usual. ginger ale
thats four steins of ale to one shot glass of ginger
And as to the comic, well I was wondering when one of you were gonna get to my younger (And thinner) years! FINALLY a dark haired barwench! *squee*
Awesome Job Jason… Much Pixie love.
Oh, be still my heart…
The barwench reminds me a woman who worked at my first job in the mid 1980s…
Very nice and not just the bar wench
Love the comic. The art is wonderful. Has been wonderful. I was recently reminded how important it is to say so every now and again.
Great job, Jason!
Call me fickle, but ,,, that barwench is NOT my idea of “bottom of the barrel.”
Dirk still had hair … Im’a suspect this tells a tale that explains the difference twixt now and then.
Yet again, Jason, you’ve provided a large enough format panel to be a wallpaper. I’d suggest one small change: (of course isolate panel 4, and) replace the text bubble (as in, no white space) with a nice graphic “Ye Olde Barwench Tales” that would appear to be what Dirk is speaking so suavely. Nice & simple … could also be a pretty spectacular T-shirt, although it hurts not to have our belle of the show Sarah present for that.
But, still, the wallpaper has already been done … just a slight tweak or two ….
And, David: sucks that you’re out sick and all. Best wishes for your full recovery. Pixie’s recipe for for lemon-honey whiskey works. I’ve used it for years. What I usually do is cut the outer rind off a couple lemons (you can leave a good bit of the white pulp in place) and blend them thoroughly with approx. equal parts water. Bring to a simmer on the stove, honey it up to taste. A shot or two of whiskey (or rum) in a steaming mug to sip on is a grand treat on a sore throat. All the pulp and ground up seeds are good for you, no need to strain them or throw them out.
david needs some magical elixir of alchemic preparation for instant relief
depending on your Health Insurance, that would either be castor oil or cold beer
I’ve seen wenches, and I’ve seen trouble, and that wench is definitely a lot of trouble…
So why hasn’t the Minotaur taken HER? Is he only interested in disrupting breeding couples?
If so, here’s another reason for me to wish that I could cross-reference my fictional universe to this one. (The basic idea is that my hero goes from realm to realm tweaking problems like this.) That Minotaur would be steak on the barbie before the day was out.
And his wife would be out to pasture on Dirk’s spankin’ new dairy farm. 
dirk’s weapon of choice …… is the meat grinder.
hamburgers on the house
wonder if dirk will keep the bulls tail, like the
matador in mexico and spain
Well, as a very naughty joke ends, the matador doesn’t always win, you know!
DAVID: We know your priorities, and when you explain them, we understand. Don’t work yourself to death.
As does the rest of The Crew here. 
JASON: Duuuude, you really have an eye and an ear for this sort of thing.
MAKE DIRK TALE THE REAL STORY!!!
silly. the Minotaur has the tail.
yes, jayson, about that raven hair bar wench, she has positively the most lush and big …. ah … lips. yes that is correct. i was looking at only this buxom wench’s lips.
God bless you, jayson. God bless you.
I was worried I’d be the only one commenting on the new dark-haired bar wench…..
Thank you all. You cannot even begin to imagine how good it makes me feel that you all read and enjoy this! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
ah, jayson, my man. who reads your stuff???
i am personally here only to check out curvy and succulent wenches. [said while drooling on my keyboard]
sorry if there was a misunderstanding. heh heh heh
this is beginnin to rival GIRL GENIUS for sheer buxoms and lunacy
Actually I rather like that aspect— it sure beats the Hollywood and fashion industry “ideal” of beauty, which is a size zero or double-zero. I’ve met exactly one person who was naturally like that and actually appeared healthy. My favorite model— I doubt anyone’s heard of her because she’s apparently not gotten into trouble like most— is not the Hollywood/fashion model “ideal.”
Although, admittedly, it’s the humor that keeps me coming back. To silliness— “clink” of chocolate milk mugs— that gives us a distraction from daily life.
NICE outfit on the tavern wench.
Nice work on the page. One thought, you should have the boar’s head on the wall looking to the right, to match everybody else.
My immediate thought was that the boar, for whatever reason, was indifferent to Dirk’s claim to heroism – which I thought was the perfect touch.
I just thought it would make a good sight gag.
