The Genesis of... Cranky

Angelspit · Unread postby **Angelspit** » 01 May 2006, 02:30

Just as Penny Arcade was making a comic about the new world of Might and Magic, reader Joni draw a strip, his second on this site, about the origins of Cranky Hero. It features a green orc who tries to find a character suitable for the diehard Heroes fans. While there are some discrepancies, such as the side of the bed on which he usually sleeps, I must say that the tale is quite accurate! There are so many details in each cell that you will notice new references if you read the whole thing twice. Check it out here.

Joni's previous episode, about Cranky Hero recruiting for the Nival office, can be found here. Next week, Cranky Hero is back from Russia and analyzes for you the recent happenings in the Heroes community.

Wonderful, marvellous, fantastic, extraordinary...
And that's not even close to describing how great this was!

...Only one conclusion can be made based on your comments: Everyone in The Heroes Round Table has been celebrating 1st of May (and obviously still are).

I suspect that Orfinn has offered 10 rounds of extra strong mead to all or something.

Despite the perfect timimg (every hero in a 2-per mille cheerfull mood), my humble thanks

for the Über-kind

words!

I don't know about mead or whatever, but I've been celebrating the 1st of May by work... So you can be sure my opinion is mead-free!

"The second link doesn't work."

It shouldn't have the 1 on the end.

Angelspit · Unread postby **Angelspit** » 01 May 2006, 17:49

I fixed the link. Sorry about that.

Hey... Why does the poster keep changing?

Campaigner · Unread postby **Campaigner** » 01 May 2006, 22:19

Yeah, I noticed that changing poster too.

When you read it a second or third time you notice details which you didn't notice at first. Their pet-dragon for instance, burns up his morning shoes
