Comic #689: Best in Slot (Patreon)

This is a bit of a callback to this comic. Something about Donald's innocent ignorance sending someone into a existential crisis makes me laugh.

The final panel in both comics are an homage to one of my favorite Calvin & Hobbes strips. That final panel is perfect. He conveys the passage of time and Calvin's struggle so perfectly in one small panel.

I really like how the background on the final panel turned out. It's really just the same background from the rest of the panels darkened and color-shifted with a moon and some stars painted on and a glow. Maybe I'll do a tutorial on the backgrounds sometime soon.

Also, in the first panel, you may have noticed it says "Dungeon Complete" instead of the name of the dungeon, as it would normally appear in game. I did this on purpose because the trinket in the comic is a representation of loot in general, it's not supposed to be a real trinket. There's only really one trinket a rogue can use in every dungeon, so if I had put a dungeon name in the first panel, some readers would think I was talking about specific piece of loot, and I wanted to keep it general.
