I'm going with a crazy theory. Belkar had less than a year to live, not exactly a year. Maybe he's dead in the metaphorical sense, seeing as he has changed his ways?

Mirai Gen · 06-29-2009, 08:29 PM

Yeah, that's what you'd think, except Burlew probably figured that was going to happen. Oracle's real prediction was "Belkar will breathe his last breath - ever - before the end of the year" or something akin to that.

That's more a copout than actually killing him.

Aerozord · 06-29-2009, 09:01 PM

yea the oracle seemed to try and make it clear he will die and stay that way. The last breath thing clears out things like resurrection, and he also used less direct things to indicate he will die

I just realized this was strip 666, felt compelled to point that out.

Oh and I'm just gonna say undead (possibly mindless) Belkar. I mean there's gotta be some undead (other creature/mutation/outsider) type that doesn't have to breathe and can't enjoy birthdays. Just because I want to go against the grain.

So, V with a ponytail. I wonder why s/he decided to go with it.

I imagine long loose hair and fireballs aren't a desireable combination.

Timiat calling on six lines for the FCC was hilarious.

"YOU GAVE HER THIS POWER AND SHE DID WHAT?!"

I am intensely curious to know that, if getting V to even be Evil for a few hours all together wasn't the plan, then what could they/are they going to do to make her turn evil during their possession of her?

Burlew makes me jealous.

Cause Burlew got bored of drawing traditional V, probably.

I'm just glad Durkon finally got a scene for some character development.

Also, OOTS is one of the best webcomics ever, probably up in my top 5 along with the likes of Dr. McNinja and 8BT, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how it's maintained its high quality throughout its run. (But you already knew that.)

I dont think they actually give a crap about V's soul. If V goes too far down the evil alignment then bonus, but it would be just that, a nice consequence for what they really care about. Whatever that may be
