If the sketchier page is still up, know that it will be replaced with a properly inked strip, soon! I just wanted to make sure there was a proper number of updates this week in the meantime.

Anyway, more signature Mace Paladino "contract law rules lawyering" D&D 2nd Edition style. Before the term took on a secondary meaning, we used to call "rules lawyering min-maxers" by the term "Twink". Then that word took on a whole new meaning a couple decades later. I think the definition change had something to do with the assumption that table-top RPGers back in the day subsisted entirely on Twinkies and Mountain Dew. Then Hostess collapsed, financially. It wasn't until their resurrection under Little Debbie Corporation that I noticed the lexicon change. By then, it was adopted by the LGBTQ+ community to refer to a queer "Pretty Boy", because it's assumed they are always "cream filled". Gross, but that's often how this shit goes. Now you know something. Apologies for learnin' ya something without consent, because consent is sexy. ;)

And I am sure there is some overlap in the term appropriation. But I distinctly remember Brian Clevenger working the D&D version in back in 2004-2005 for "8-bit Theater". But I digress.
