Okay, that’s a way-too-geeky reference to a George of the Jungle gag (um, the cartoon, guys — sheesh), but the point is that sometimes it takes a while to get a joke, and sometimes something that seemed merely amusing turns out to be damn-frelling-hilarious once you’re more familiar with what’s being poked fun at.
Thus, the couple of weeks last June that Scott Kurtz did City of Heroes-related strips in PvP, starting here.
For individual highlights, you can just look here, here, here, here, here, and here. Too, too funny. At least if you play CoH.

All great!

Most of those are reprinted in the mini-comic that comes with the CoH Collector’s DVD Edition, which has a few more. I had downloaded the PvP CoH strips and zipped them into a .cbr file for CDisplay, and sent them to a guy in Nevada that I’ve been telling about CoH. Now, after reading the strips, he really wants to try the game. (Anybody got an unused 2-week trial code they can send him?)
You’re right, though. I liked them when I first read them, but now that I’m playing, and I’ve actually hovered up to an overhead walkway, and run past low-level purse-snatchings, and teamed with cross-gender player/characters… Well, Kurtz knows both the game and his audience. He hits it right on the head!
And it’s funny… I was just thinking of that GotJ joke the other day, trying to remember the lines leading up to Daws’ character (Weevil? Or was that the other one?) saying, “Arr. And if there be one thing I like, it be Chicken a la King!”
