How about little dude just ends up sucking and he goes home? Or maybe Mr. CTS just disappears one day and the kid becomes a hermit? What would the perfect anti-cliche be here?

You are forgetting that people like to read shit that is interesting and cool.


Hermits are usually only cool when they have a long and mysterious past to hide from.

There was also a short story in one of those old Scary Stories books about a hermit who lived at the foot of a mountain, and he supposedly never left, so some kids all get together and run him off so they can explore, only to find out he's been keeping some spooky monster at bay all those years.

See, that's kinda cool.

Abracadaniel

Yeah, the ending of the story is him running back towards his hut trying to warn them and being like "NOOOO NOT AGAIN" Which is sort of sad on his part

Good god, when will mysterious wandering Samurai ever learn that taking on apprentices is a bad idea? He'll only inevitably betray you! Trust no one

What? No, man, that's only one possibility. My counter-cliche is where the student gains skill over the years and eventually saves or avenges his master. Or marries his daughter after helping him to finish off his decades-long battle with his arch-enemy, like in Banderas' first Zorro movie.

I like the whole Jin thing from samurai champloo

everyone thinks he betrays his master, but it turns out his master was ordered to kill jin in his sleep and jin winds up killing him

That was such an awesome scene.

The second apprentice dies

My roommate and I fucking cracked up on the way home from work listening to that.

Nah, its the first student. First students always become over confident and tragically die.

Then years later when the master has lived in solitude and guilt he'll take a 'trouble child' and mold him into the level headed warrior.

Yeah, see, this is what I mean. There are so many possible cliches, don't limit yourself to just one!

The kid is the Cardboard Tube Samurai. That's the twist I'm expecting.

CTS doesn't age apparently.

Wait a minute. The snow fell in the exact same pattern in front of that tree three winters in a row?

I demand a refund for two of those panels.

What are you talking about the snowfall is different each time.

Upon closer inspection the snow is loafers.

The Far Side

its gonna be awkward when JAEF starts complaining about a loafer storm when its really just snowing

I was listening to that in a coffee shop this morning and I choked on my coffee and nearly fell out of my fucking chair

mike yelling "GET OUT YOUR DICK" was the funniest fucking thing I've heard in fucking years

Fallout

the D&D podcast was great

Javen

Is the D&D postcast on their downloadable content RSS feed? I can't seem to find it.

Olivaw

I hope they do more of those

They just seem to get better and better

I was in fits just thinking of Wil jumping up onto the table and leaping across at Jerry screaming NOOOOOO. The whole thing was hilarious and their reaction pure gold.

FTV

Wow... I'm pretty dang amazed... no one mentioned anything about the looks on the faces of panel two. Way to go guys.

Ranx

congratulations on being dumb

FirmSkater

I am really like this CTS arc.

Anjin-San

Ageless.

Like Batman.

Except in that one series where Batman is really old. And also except for when Batman is a kid, though he's technically not calling himself "Batman" yet.

Kuribo's Shoe

sorry that's not for you guys to do

Javen

Shoe if you love Whippy so much why don't you marry him

Kuribo's Shoe

because I married my wife

she's even more awesome than whippy, and has pretty rad knockers to boot

sarukun

Based on these revelations, one can hardly fault Shoe for his choices.

DarkPrimus

Nope.

Linksville

Yes, but Whippy has the prettiest hair.

According to an interview I read the other day, Tycho and Gabe would ideally like to do it sort of like a TV season, so a quarterly thing or whatever. Apparently Scott Kurtz is moving to Washington, so all they have to do is get Wil and they can record whenever. I'll look for the interview tomorrow, it was pretty neat.
