Future supervillain in training…
Sandra and Woo was down for several hours this morning since our webhost was moving the data of all their customers to other servers.
- Teacher: Zoey, do you have an excuse for not doing your homework?
- Zoey: I… … I… ate it.
- Zoey: That’s not funny! Larisa put it in a blender and made me eat the mash!
- Larisa: You’re the worst liar ever, Zoey!

comon make that bad girl get a punch back for being so evil or make the teacher se the evidence sticking out of her backpack
to Powree and Oliver
That is…going too far Larissa. That isn’t funny. Really. Bullying like that isn’t funny.
I sincerely hope that she doesn’t get away with it.
Nobody say you have to like the characters, but writing for an D&D alligniment is kind of… I dont know… pathetic? but not in a bad way, just that reducing a character to mere Chaotic neutral is no good, the alligniments were created for a proupose in the game but there are not sociologic or psycoanalitic terms. Its not like he is chaotic good, or neutral or wathever, Larisa is Larisa and that.
many D&D rules dont exist, not even in the world inside D&D (Lv and stats are outside story, but inside game)
ugh, this is getting my head hurt
Calvin once dropped a big snowball on Susie which would have seriously injured her in real life. Please don’t take cartoon violence too seriously.
You have to live with it. Almost all characters are written with a certain alignment in mind. It’s also kinda funny since you just have called the majority of stories ever written for D&D pathetic, especially the one of Planescape: Torment.
@Gerardo Tejada and Novil:
Gerado, you forget that our favorite, diabets suffering pyromanic Larisa might have really good reasons to do what she’s doing.
Also, from the profile I have of her, she’s definitely a kind of girl with a chance of actually existing in the real world.
(ok, this sentence was just messed up…)
And if you take away the “restrictions” of D&D, the allignment system would actually work in our world.
But of course not everyone with an “evil” allignment would steal or kill like stupid…
beeing an *censored* is enough.
But eyeryone can agree that the lawfull/chaotic thing might be partially correct in our world.
Things like what Larisa did would fit a chaotic neutral character very well.
A chaotic evil one had just killed Zoey… or at least tortured her for one day straight…
Chaotic neutral means, that you do what seems to be a good idea without caring about rules and not thinking too much about the consequences either.
Including “evil acts”.
But they’re normally not humilating anyone without a reason XD”’
The only strange thing about D&D and allignments is that you have to do something bad in times so you’re not becomming “too good”.
(As Novil said, way up o,ô”’)
My Character is so strange, he got chaotic, lawfull, good and evil allignment bits…
helpfull, powerhungry, holds his word, does not respect nobility, sense of honor, tortures enemies, rescues helpless people, takes bounty, works with/summons undead/devils/demons, kills/banishs undead/devils/demons… and so on…
so he just ended up beeing true neutral…
Anyone else got this problem at least once? >,>’
The pun here is great. If you don’t get it, you probably don’t remember a certain choice of word from WAAAAAY back.
I have a disorder called pika. I literally did eat my own homework. nuff said.
Pika pronounced PIE-KAH
omg ide kill to have her as a little sister
Heh. Goodbye, Chaotic Neutral… Chaotic Evil, here we come!
woo-ho! color!
The color does make a big difference! I figured Zoey was telling the truth, since it sounded like something Larisa would do. And I noticed that you were drawing attention to something in the final panel, so I assumed it had something to do with her guilt.
Now that I see it’s a power cord, though, it’s much funnier.
@ reynard61:
thats just- *face palm*
@ Novil:
So far it looks as if Larissa is a sociopath in training.
Her sense of “humor” and her fire-setting would set off alarms with any profiler.
Omg, I didn’t see the plug dangling out of her backpack until the fourth read-through!
Big-time humiliation placed upon Zoey!

Not much point in trying to counter someone 3 years after the fact… but alignment does not guarantee success in any endeavour. Chaotic Neutrals can’t very well be Karma Houdinis if they end up in jail, as one would correctly ascertain that many do.
I once did this myself. Well, I didn’t bother doing the work at all, because not only was the assignment boring and tedious, but we had been given several sheets of A4 to do it on and there was no way I was going to write that much. So I just ate the paper and when the teacher asked for the work I replied “I ate the paper”. This actually worked because the school was so stingy with giving out paper (every school I went to was like this, you’d think paper was gold leaf or something the way they used to go on) that they didn’t want to give me any more just so I could eat it again.
The bullying element here doesn’t bugs me a little, but what really bothers me is that no one believes her. I mean, they know Larissa! This shouldn’t be surprising!

@ Char:
which you misspell and misspeak.
@ Trent:
A nonliar is not the worst liar but a nonliar.
Good to see Larisa back in her evil ways.
(I hate bullies and all but Zoey’s a bully too so it’s all cool…Like a player killer, killer…
If that made any sense.)
@ Isaac:
I get a bad feeling about this…
Anyone bullying Larisa doesn’t deserve anything else. It’s not as if she didn’t know about her very special personality before she bullied her. Maybe it was a bit more than she deserved, but most likely it was still Zoey who provoked this in the first place.
And that’s how it works in real life too. Responses of any kind are not always carefully measured. Wars have been started over reasons more harmless than school bullying (not that there’s anything harmless about bullying).
i feel for her
