Worlds of Peril: Ninth Hour

The whole riddling thing was reminding me of Blaine the Mono, but now I feel much better seeing an explicit Dark Tower reference. It's always annoying to have that nagging "Was that a reference to ..." feeling.

Pedant senses... tingling...

Check Diablo's response in the fourth frame.

Had to bring it up.

In Response to Clan_Hanna (#18605):

I'll fix it when I get back from Comic-Con.

I really like Worlds of Peril. I got premium because of it!

In Response to jon (#18606):

Ooo! Ooo! is the original art available with the mistake in it? It could be a regular collectors item!

In Response to unFalln (#18630):

Font, remember?

In Response to jon (#18634):

You could always letter it with the mistake. Instant value increase!

In Response to frankenc (#18635):

Instant value increase!

I think you mean "price" instead of "value".

ooooo o.O

I know the answer... I think. It's a rather ingenious riddle really. And quite pretty as well.

Only, that is, if my answer is right.

In Response to frankenc (#18635):

I missed it. What was the mistake?

In Response to reoffender12 (#18668):

There's only one way to find out.

Become a premium member.

But, really, Super Premium members are much cooler, so you should shell out for that instead.

In Response to zamphir (#18670):

why bother? people have been copying the strip and hosting it for free since the start.

In Response to frankenc (#18635):

Maybe all the original art could have a mistake pencilled in! It'd kill two birds with one stone. Instant value increase, and would appease the greek god of comics!

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#18671):

First of all, "POOP!"

Secondly, you've got that wrong.

People haven't been copying the strip and hosting it for free.

ASSHOLES, however, may have been doing that.

In Response to zamphir (#18674):

Hrm.

Jon, you should cook up a perl-generated watermark discretely into the image on load that says which premium member accessed it, so you can trackback and persecute anyone distributing your special goods.

And whomever is spreading the love is an anticapitalist bastard that should rot in hell, devaluing not only Jon's work, but also spitting on those of us that do pay.

In Response to mcgrue (#18675):

Jon, you should cook up a perl-generated watermark

Jon doesn't cook perl. Just chicken.

Phillip, on the other hand, has occasionally been known to eat beef.

In Response to themysticalone (#18669):

It's still there, Diablo says 'potal' instead of 'portal'.

i was hoping someone would maybe post the answer to the riddle for us poor, not-able-to-shell-out-for-this-kind-of-thing-altho ugh-i-like-goats-and-am-sure-goats-premium-is-grea t university students.

and please, no smart-alecky comments along the lines of "you'll just have to pay". i think we've already gone over that option.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#18682):

I got my premium while a poor starving university student.

And we'd be more inclined to 'tease' you if you weren't a poopy-head.

In Response to Dynedain (#18683):

I, too, got it while being a poor college student. And I'm still poor, yet I still pay.

But I'm nothing if not gracious. The answer is "Your Mom".

See, the plurality of the question was a red herring.

In Response to Lonely Goatherd (#18682):

You'll just have to pay. When did "we" ever go over that option? I never remember discussing it with you, you always changed the subject to poopy.

Jon has just as hard a time shelling out for things he feels important (such as food, shelter and alcoholic beverages). If you feel he is doing a good enough job on this comic to continue living, I'm sure you can show your appreciation.

In Response to mcgrue (#18688):

I sit here thinking that Jon is a poetic genius (which of course he is, but in this case a more sentimental one) and thought that the answer was "stars".

*shakes head* How misguided I am.

And roughly 2 hours after I bought my premium membership (which I love to death by the way) I find the answer - and I was right. Stars. How poetically brilliant.

Damn.

Your mom would have been a good answer.

In Response to reoffender12 (#18694):

And yet, your awe-inspiring powers of deduction are really no match for your unending stupidity when it comes to tact.

Welcome to premium membership, George.

In Response to reoffender12 (#18694):

Damn! Now you've gone and given the answer away. You've probably cost Jon 50 premium membership subscriptions. Now people know the answer and they won't bother to come.
