One slap and that sphinx went down faster than a half-vampire, half-rakshasa, half-jaguar cub.

That was an oddly specific reference if you’re new to this strip.

It looks like Java may have actually learned something from his past battles. Like: don’t waste all your time and energy biting and slashing a vampire that can only be hurt by a weird mishmash of items like garlic and holy water. Same with a Rakshasa which requires a magical weapon… or a single blessed crossbow bolt.

It’s almost like D&D nerds have value! I hate to say it, but in the event of a zombie apocalypse, there will actually be a LOT of know-it-all gamers that survive in the wastelands.

Anyway… Java appears to have won the day! Now comes the best part of defeating a multi-national coffee conglomerate. The war reparations!
