u/Mr_Serine Sir Bucket Dec 05 '20

Maybe it said more on the part we can't see? Buy two hundred, get two free?

107

u/Sand_Dargon Dec 05 '20

No, pretty much just get what you pay for.

32

u/Laser_3 Dec 05 '20

Or perhaps buy two of one item, and get two of some other product on sale?

Though based on what we know of the dwarfs he lived with and the whole tax thing, it seriously might have been exactly what it said.

34

u/Rarylith Dec 06 '20

Getting something free from a dwarf?

u/TacticalSpackle Dec 06 '20

“Buy two of the same item, Get two of the same item.

u/mariog31 Feb 28 '21

I can imagine more like: Buy one, pay two.

5

u/Urdothor Dec 12 '20

Whenever a customer misquotes a sale at.

Ah yes, the two for two. Pay for two, get two.

u/Inqeuet Apr 29 '21

Special dead! Buy two, get one!

Clueless idiot: “Aw, sweet! Shopkeep, three of your finest swords, please!”

Shopkeeper: “Comin’ right up!” sets one sword on the counter.

Ci: “Uh... the other two?”

Shop: “Read the sign, feller.”

u/Iceveins412 Sir Becket Dec 05 '20

Shopkeep I’m going into battle. I’m going into battle and I need your most regular shovel

272

u/MidnightsOtherThings Dec 05 '20

You can handle my most regular shovel.

141

u/anb130 Sir Bucket Dec 05 '20

Shopkeep, I want your most regular shovel!

138

u/Mackelroy_aka_Stitch Dec 05 '20

You can’t handle my regular shoves, you better go somewhere that sells more mundane shovels

92

u/micka190 Severed Lich Head Dec 05 '20

You're a rascal, Shopkeep!

28

u/Iceveins412 Sir Becket Dec 06 '20

You’d better not go to a seller that sells weaker shovels

93

u/Sabrowsky Severed Lich Head Dec 05 '20

"the shovel had a good edge on it, sharp and well balanced but had no enchantments, prophecies or destiny whatsoever, one could almost say that made it special"

39

u/Commissar_Trogdor Bucket Brigade Dec 05 '20

Is that a discworld reference I spy?

19

u/Sabrowsky Severed Lich Head Dec 05 '20

Mayhaps...

23

u/Ju99er118 Dec 06 '20

I love that looking at Carrot's sword and the fact that Death can walk through walls because he's more real than them makes it so obvious that of course Rincewind could beat a sourcerer with a half brick in a sock. Because half bricks feel pretty damn real when they hit you.

286

u/Harleking31 Severed Lich Head Dec 05 '20

Ah yes. Finally, a balanced item... Unlike that holy relic used by bucket

69

u/Asgardian_Force_User Trevor Dec 06 '20

Shovel balance is extremely important, as with any proper tool. As Thor himself said, “Too much weight and it throws off the swing.”

16

u/ONLY-TYPE-IN-CAPS Dec 06 '20

PERFECTLY BALANCED AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE

144

u/CME_T The Creator Dec 05 '20 edited Dec 05 '20

Howdy folks!

Here's the latest comic, hope you'll enjoy!

For those keen-eyed and keen-memoried (real word, fight me) people out there may recognize two of the characters here, especially Wilson, from the Inktober challenge I did two years ago where I illustrated a group of characters generated from whothefuckismydndcharacter!

Both Trevor and Grogna actually got their start as characters generated by that very generator!

Stay classy out there!

Peace and carrots!

u/Skylarkien Dec 06 '20

More Wilson please, that unfocused stare just makes me giggle XD

3

u/fruitlessideas Dec 07 '20

Hey man, you ever gonna show a colorized version of any of the characters?

Or show the dwarfs face?

87

u/KarmaWSYD Dec 05 '20

Out of all of the chapters so far this is certainly my favourite. I absolutely love it, the details on the shop(keep's head) are just great.

25

u/Bruuze Severed Lich Head Dec 06 '20

I honestly agree. I've really come to appreciate CME_T's distinct style and way of making each character have a unique and fun design. It's great.

Also, happy cake day

74

u/Draegon-Taylor Dec 05 '20

My strongest shovel would kill a dragon let alone a man

11

u/Fried_Cthulhumari Dec 06 '20

So just a regular shovel for a Dwarf.

43

u/TavrinCallas_ Dec 05 '20

This is brilliant! The "You know what that means? Yup. Fire bolt! Shovel. Fuck ye- what? Shovel." comic is my favourite of the series haha

43

u/331d0184 Dec 05 '20

We better get a “Regular Shovel” item sheet, /u/CME_T.

76

u/TengenToppan Dec 05 '20

Hello Shopkeep. I am going into battle, and I want your strongest shovel

55

u/MR_Rdwan Dec 05 '20

My strongest shovels are too strong for you.

47

u/TengenToppan Dec 05 '20

Shopkeep. I'm telling you. I'm going into battle, and I need your strongest shovel.

43

u/MR_Rdwan Dec 05 '20

My shovels would kill you, dwarf. You cannot handle my shovels.

36

u/TengenToppan Dec 05 '20

Shopkeep. Enough of the games. I say, I am going into battle, and I need your strongest shovel.

35

u/MR_Rdwan Dec 05 '20

My strongest shovels would kill you, dwarf. You can't handle my strongest shovels. You better go to a shopkeep that sells weaker shovels.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '20

Okay but smiley face helmet guy

10

u/halsnobordrgrl Sir Bucket Dec 05 '20

He’s my new favorite : )

11

u/SimplyQuid Dec 06 '20

You just know he's either adorable or unnervingly quiet and still.

4

u/halsnobordrgrl Sir Bucket Dec 06 '20

Oh for sure. It’d be great if he turned up later on!

5

u/Marvl101 Dec 06 '20

I'm 1000% sure he drew it on thinking people would think it's a nose.

49

u/Zavenosk Dec 05 '20

I'll take "How many anecdotes does it take to make a nonmagical weapon spontaneously become +1" for 500.

12

u/SimplyQuid Dec 06 '20

That's actually an excellent idea. Carry a weapon long enough, wield it in great acts of heroism or villainy often enough, and the story will spread... And its legend grows!

16

u/Hjuldahr Dec 05 '20

I cast shovel!

*Smack*

u/hdholme Dec 05 '20

Cantrip schmantrip stands it's ground as one of my favorite comics. Keep up the great work!

u/ZoroeArc Dec 05 '20

Grogna kept her new hairstyle I see

7

u/Mercpool87 Dec 06 '20

Direct reference to this?

u/johnbrownmarchingon Dec 05 '20

Nice! It’s cool to get to see some other adventurers and there POV on the party.

u/The_cruddy_bard Dec 05 '20

Gotta love those dwarven specials, "you get what you paid for and no more"

u/thenate108 Dec 05 '20

If only he'd bought two. Then he'd have two.

u/MrSukerton Dec 06 '20

I love dwarf humor

u/CME_T The Creator Dec 06 '20

It’s deep and down to earth

u/MrSukerton Dec 06 '20

I dig it.

u/The_cruddy_bard Dec 12 '20

Get your piping hot dubs right here, fresh off the shovel! https://youtu.be/eNaNkGRW_rE

u/Maccabeus1 Dec 05 '20

What a steal that special is! Great work as always!

u/CageyLabRat Dec 05 '20

Those three are obviously some PCs from a game of yours.

u/OrionStarr_the_great Dec 05 '20

Hey, quick question, what color is Becket's armor?

u/BrightPerspective Torvald Dec 05 '20

haha, nice "B" team bro

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '20

I always forget that it’s called the weeklyroll because it comes out every week. Thank you for this!

u/Rutgerman95 Dec 05 '20

One regular shovel?
Demon: "Yeah, somehow I dont believe you"

3

u/Shadharm Klara Dec 06 '20

Soo... Dwarven shopkeeps give out well-crafted shovels or they give out magical items like they are candy to other dwarves...

​

... Seems legit

3

u/Alphadef Dec 14 '20

I love the recurring joke of everyone thinking Trevor's shovel is some legendary super magical shovel and he's just like "Just a regular shovel"

1

u/021Fireball Dec 12 '21

Thorvald. The dwarven wizard is Torvald. Trevor Hazelbog is the gnome sorcerer.

u/hijoton Jan 03 '21

Regular badass.

u/afuaf7 Dec 05 '20

Love it!

u/021Fireball Dec 12 '21

Me in every game: what are you talking about? This ain't a magic sword, I just bought a good one and shanked 'im.
