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.
Hehe
Up there with asking the office junior to go get a tin of Tartan paint from stationary ;)
Cruel but necessary.
Can somebody fetch me my left-handed screwdriver?
Haha, genius!
LOL! I laughed *SO* hard at that! Thank you so much for that! :)
Stone for President!
Hahaha, nice.
‘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.
amazing, such insight.
I need you to go down to supplies and ask for a long weight.
shit, that was really awesome!
I lol’d. VERY hard. TS be a genius.
This is one of my old favourites. Thanks for the re-post!
But but… he just had to close his eyes. Everyone knows unseeing units don’t disperse fog-of-war.
Best Strafe Left ever.
I often find these strips forgettable, but this one really made me laugh.
Awesome.
Poor guy.
He he that was cruel
Why are they laughing? He should be congratulated for revealing the map for them, allowing then to see any future attacks on their territory.
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.
Bravo, the first funny Strafe Left!
@ScubaV
Talk about back handed compliment!
Hilarious!
Semantics…
I remember this one
It’s one of my favourites
@dartt
Its a long stand. They got me with it at my place of work when i started several years ago.
And while you are at it, get some replacement bubbles for the spirit level, thanks.
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.
Left-handed smoke shifter, anyone?
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.
That was cruel
Excellent.
Haha! Really clever :)
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….
Quality
freaking amazing.
anyway the matter of fog of war is #000000
A genuinely funny Strafe Left in an ocean of “I see what you did there :|”s.
*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.
lol
we used to send n00bs for a bagful of oxygen
