Genius.

Lovely perspective transition from panel 3 to 4.
The joke reminds me of the classic kitchen pranks of asking the new guy to get a bucket of steam or a bacon stretcher.
report
Hehe
Up there with asking the office junior to go get a tin of Tartan paint from stationary ;)
report
Cruel but necessary.
Can somebody fetch me my left-handed screwdriver?
report
Haha, genius!
report
LOL! I laughed *SO* hard at that! Thank you so much for that! :)
report
Stone for President!
report
Hahaha, nice.
report
‘go fetch me a box of grid squares’

BTW, “Fog of War” actually was one of Gandalf’s powers in Return Of The King. The game, that is. It knocked bad guys down.
report
amazing, such insight.
report
I need you to go down to supplies and ask for a long weight.
report
shit, that was really awesome!
report
I lol’d. VERY hard. TS be a genius.
report
This is one of my old favourites. Thanks for the re-post!
report
But but… he just had to close his eyes. Everyone knows unseeing units don’t disperse fog-of-war.
report
Best Strafe Left ever.
report
I often find these strips forgettable, but this one really made me laugh.
report
Awesome.
report
Poor guy.
report
He he that was cruel
report
Why are they laughing? He should be congratulated for revealing the map for them, allowing then to see any future attacks on their territory.
report
No, lifting fog of war usually only reveals territory with default options. To see if the enemy is coming you need to leave a unit there.
report
Bravo, the first funny Strafe Left!
report
@ScubaV
Talk about back handed compliment!
report
Hilarious!
report
Semantics…
report
I remember this one
It’s one of my favourites
report
@dartt
Its a long stand. They got me with it at my place of work when i started several years ago.
report
And while you are at it, get some replacement bubbles for the spirit level, thanks.
report
Got fooled by being sent for a ‘sky hook’ once. It sounded perfectly sensible at the time, like it was a nick name for a hook or clamp you hung above your head to keep something in place.
report
Left-handed smoke shifter, anyone?
report
Tin of elbow grease. ;)
This is definitely one of the best Strafe Lefts I’ve seen. I did lol, and I mean LOL, quite raucously.
report
That was cruel
report
Excellent.
report
Haha! Really clever :)
report
I guess I never got caught with one of those, so the laughing wasn’t quite out loud. Although, I never did get my long weight….
report
Quality
report
freaking amazing.
anyway the matter of fog of war is #000000
report
A genuinely funny Strafe Left in an ocean of “I see what you did there :|”s.
report
*laugh* … Nice one
But… all that guy had to do is break the alliance with his side and then he would have been covered in fog of war. But then again, even so, he’s still a unit ::- D.
report
lol
we used to send n00bs for a bagful of oxygen
