    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!

  6. 21/09/2008 at 11:24 Mo says:

    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.

  13. 21/09/2008 at 12:39 andreas says:

    shit, that was really awesome!

  14. 21/09/2008 at 12:59 Vanderdecken says:

    I lol’d. VERY hard. TS be a genius.

  15. 21/09/2008 at 13:05 The Hammer says:

    This is one of my old favourites. Thanks for the re-post!

  16. 21/09/2008 at 13:06 Mil says:

    But but… he just had to close his eyes. Everyone knows unseeing units don’t disperse fog-of-war.

  17. 21/09/2008 at 13:10 MasterBoo says:

    Best Strafe Left ever.

  18. 21/09/2008 at 13:50 nemolom says:

    I often find these strips forgettable, but this one really made me laugh.

  19. 21/09/2008 at 14:06 Acosta says:

    Awesome.

  20. 21/09/2008 at 14:10 Nero says:

    Poor guy.

  21. 21/09/2008 at 14:29 jeremy says:

    He he that was cruel

  22. 21/09/2008 at 14:32 Optimaximal says:

    Why are they laughing? He should be congratulated for revealing the map for them, allowing then to see any future attacks on their territory.

  23. 21/09/2008 at 15:43 Gorgeras says:

    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.

  24. 21/09/2008 at 15:50 ScubaV says:

    Bravo, the first funny Strafe Left!

  25. 21/09/2008 at 15:53 James G says:

    @ScubaV

    Talk about back handed compliment!

  26. 21/09/2008 at 16:13 Eli says:

    Hilarious!

    Semantics…

    I remember this one
    It’s one of my favourites

  29. 21/09/2008 at 17:37 Cataclysm says:

    @dartt
    Its a long stand. They got me with it at my place of work when i started several years ago.

  30. 21/09/2008 at 18:24 sbs says:

    And while you are at it, get some replacement bubbles for the spirit level, thanks.

  31. 21/09/2008 at 21:47 Kast says:

    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.

  32. 21/09/2008 at 22:57 Grandstone says:

    Left-handed smoke shifter, anyone?

  33. 22/09/2008 at 00:04 shinygerbil says:

    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.

  34. 22/09/2008 at 03:18 MindBrain says:

    That was cruel

  35. 22/09/2008 at 09:37 Gap Gen says:

    Excellent.

  36. 22/09/2008 at 09:38 Duoae says:

    Haha! Really clever :)

  37. 22/09/2008 at 18:01 Jeremy says:

    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….

  39. 22/09/2008 at 19:43 Tei says:

    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.

  41. 01/10/2008 at 12:11 Axonn Echysttas says:

    *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
