The cat in the middle of the carnage getting his teeth beat the fuck out, does he remind anyone else of Carl Veldt? I know it's impossible because Carl lost his brain to a bottle but it is a striking resemblance.

I agree with you, and actually that is my one complaint about this strip. Seeing as that is the primary image in the collage, I wish it had been a little more original. It seems like he basically just rehashed the bottle image, only in a less interesting way.

Why are people worried? What's the worst thing that can happen to Beef and Ray? They die again. Big whoop. It might even be good for Beef. If he dies 3 more times he gets a free room upgrade in heaven.

Man, come on. It is one thing to see Beef get shot, all with hands clutched comically over his chest and little x's for eyes. It would be another thing entirely to see Beef get bashed in the face, his skull all collapsing and his teeth all shooting out, blood everywhere. Beef getting stomped mercilessly on the ground, tons of pain. What world is this, where such a thought does not worry you. We may need to tear out your entire middle to see if you have a heart. Unfortunately, no one said that could be done.

There is such a thing as off camera. We didn't see the bloody wreackage after he crashed the golf cart. And when he went to hell there was just the phone call ahead of time.

I too think that Beef has something more than "wait it out" up his sleeve.

Perhaps they will douse the field with gas or oil and light it, so that the flames will form a funnel leading to their position, and that way their small group will not get overwhelmed by sheer numbers and can concentrate on a few attackers at a time. 

A bit outlandish, yes, but something tells not prohibited by GOF regulations.

But see, if it were off camera, that would be just as disturbing. Totally anticlimactic. Anyway, just admit that you are extremely scared for Roast Beef, Cort.

Listen, everyone: Cort cried but did not Accept that he cried.

I get the feeling that nothing is actually prohibited by regulations, besides (presumably) wussing out. I really doubt they'd complain if Beef showed up with a Sherman tank and Agent Orange, all ready to party Asian-land-war stylezz.

There's a certain point where weaponry too drastically changes the fight. If it was my thing, I would say only bladed, pointed or blunt weapons and with those, no more than 36" including the handle.

No missile weapons
No firearms
No weapons that involve irritants, poison or electricity

Basically this should be melee with possibly the occasionally thrown or hurled axe, sword, or knife.

For my weapon I think I would want a batleth.

Who wants to roll up about 3000 5th level fighters and stage this with dice and pizza?

I see this as Beef being wise enough to evade the opening carnage, where people just rush right in and start bashing away on each other, best to duck away for a bit then come back swinging.

Plus, what shall we refer to the leather helmet wearing cat as, if he pops up again? The LHWC?

Still waiting for other characters to make surprise appearances.

What this makes me wonder is whether it's even possible to make 3000 significantly different 5th level fighters.

I think all weapons are allowed but no one bothers anymore because they just get torn apart by the serious fighters.

Actually, there's a college near here who does something like this as a big event, every fall semester: "DeathFest," where they generate a stupidly large number of D&D characters, put them in a big pile, and have people take random characters and slugfest it out, with each player pulling a new character from the pile when their old one gets killed. Last man standing wins. No word on whether there's a barbed-wire-and-skulls enclosure for it, though.
