	* David Reddick's ''Legend of Bill'' is a long-running webcomic featuring the adventures of an amiable but short-on-brains barbarian called Bill, who one day tires of his safe office job in the accountancy department of a local evil warlord. On a whim, he throws over his boring job auditing invoices and goes out adventuring, with his friend Frank the Blue Dragon - who turns out to be the ''real'' brains of the partnership. On the way they learn it isn't all about the unfortunately named dragonburgers and the chocolate milk shakes, the man's drink that Bill so loves in his usual bar, the Wet Gill. They learn about orcs, ogres, wizards, magic users, seductive sorceresses (one of whom takes a big shine to Bill) and fearsome pink-haired warrior princesses called Gina. Along he way the series generated two spin-offs: ''the Gnome Service''(about a race of shy, retiring, magic-users whose job is to audit everything and give reality a poke when it needs it) and ''Barwench Tales'', revolving around a typical tavern wench who is clearly in the wrong job: it is discovered she was trained as a lethal psychotic Assassin for whom pulling pints and dodging pinched bottoms is not an advisable career change. Her notions of good customer service are somewhat ''basic''... Safe for work, btw. Although Reddick loves drawing pretty girls, nothing crosses any lines.		* David Reddick's ''Legend of Bill'' is a long-running webcomic featuring the adventures of an amiable but short-on-brains barbarian called Bill, who one day tires of his safe office job in the accountancy department of a local evil warlord.

	Thunt's lovely take on what happened when the lowest and most despised form of life in the Dungeons and Dragons universe decided they weren't just going to be non-player characters and practice fodder any more and rolled their own character stats to become fully fledged players. Like ''Order of the Stick'', but taking a different goblin-centred direction. Anyone reading {{SN}} or {{RS}} will see similarities. Only ''these'' goblins have got more attitude and sharper edges.

	Even the Gods were children once. This strip follows the adventures of the children of Odin and Freya, along with other adult characters such as Valkyries, Hel and Fenrir, who are charged with their education as a pantheon. Lovely touches: the dark goddess Hel is the Schoolmistress from, er, Hell. The obvious issue of a world with overlapping pantheons of Gods is ''demarcation''. The gods of Scandinavia deal with their fellow pantheonic deities in Greece/Rome, Egypt, the Celtic world, and further afield. (The Chinese and Japanese deities have some groovy ideas about martial arts). A Middle Eastern troublemaker who demands that no other Gods should be allowed to exist is summarily dealt with. And the Pantheon Games between the various families of Gods is just pure genius.		Even the Gods were children once.

	The author of this wicked little series, Jaycee, also has a membership here and joined us to debate the issue of how far her ideas overlapped those of the great Terry Pratchett. We agreed that we are all fishing in the same stream and ideas overlap and run together. Although Pratchett isn't usually as blatantly dirty as this... another NSFW strip set in a Rabelaisian fantasy world and not to be accessed from a computer at work. Gloriously funny.
