Java 436
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!



The harpy trying to get out of frame is unexpectedly hilarious.
And that wasn’t even in the script, she came up with that on her own.
