I've never understood the complaining about the CTS. I think its a nice diversion from the regular routine.
Nothing wrong with a little variety.
Also, this is simply another parody of nerd culture, similar to the whole Witchalock thing. The difference being, the Witchalock strips tend to be very heavy handed, whereas the CTS is all about minimalism. Its a different form of expression, and I appreciate it.

People love to bitch. They'll only be happy when Gabe & Tycho make comic strips that require no previous knowledge, where you don't need to follow any gaming news, when they never cover the same topic twice, when they never do continuity again, when they never do another CTS strip, and when they never do material outside video games again.

also every strip needs to have homoerotic undertones

I'd just like to defend myself a bit. I'm not bitching that they're doing more CTS. I don't mind continuity at all (the witchalok arch was one of my favorites). I don't mind needing to know a little back-story to get the comic. And I even said that I can appreciate the artistic quality of the CTS series (and I'm sure Gabe thoroughly enjoys stretching a bit of artistic muscle for them) . I'm just saying that CTS just isn't my cup of metaphorical tea.
Me: I've never been a fan of the CTS.
Lucas: I don't understand people complaining about the CTS.
Coldbrand: People love to bitch.

All of these comics that have the "Wandering Age" are all set in the past. If you've followed the whole CTS saga, you'd know that the Wandering Age was a specific period of time in the backstory of the character, and is all in the past tense.

When I went to bed last night I knew Bogey would give the topic to somebody else, even though there were no other topics that were posted about it. I hope the person who got it winds up having a daughter who gets raped and then murdered
Gabe's artistic talent is really starting to get pretty impressive.
Starting? Like, since...since when? How far back can we go and still use "starting"? Like could I say that Microsoft is starting to look like it seriously wants to be part of the console market?
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.

Well OK but that last one is just boilerplate for life in general. Let's be fair.
matthias has already said it, but god damn those are some mutton chops.
Watch any of the many live-action wandering Samurai team shows made in Japan in the late 70s/early 80s and you will understand where the chops are coming from.
Edit: Apparently most of these come from the 60s and 70s.

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
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.

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

YOU MUST BE SWIFT AS THE COURSING RIVER
WITH ALL THE FORCE OF A GREAT TYPHOON
WITH ALL THE STRENGTH OF A RAGING FIRE
MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOOOOOOOOOON

What am I missing?? :?
In other words, i am the asshole in the theater shouting
DON'T OPEN THE DOOR
if your outfit (or lack thereof) is revealing, you are about to die
a burka is recommended
Or just be fat and unattractive so you don't get cast in a horror film...
Uh
was there ever some confusion as to this?
I think we all knew they took place in the past
(And maybe someone was confused and they were just pretending that they weren't. Its a crazy world out there.)

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!
