Comic #867: Ancient History (Patreon)

This week's comic changed quite a few times from the first idea to the final product.

My original idea was to make another history book comic, much like #853 in which some historical character from the lore defeats some prime evil but then goes back to Stormwind to fix a crappy transmog. It was going to be a bit of a parody about how we're more concerned about how our loot looks after finishing a raid than the fact that we just saved the world.

I then thought of changing it to a child reading about a historical event that one of the Dark Legacy characters was involved in. The child wants to know what the Dark Legacy character did right after saving the world, did they fly around informing all citizens of the world that they were safe again? Cut to the character complaining about their transmog.

When I tried to decide what the event in question would be, I thought how old the Dark Legacy character might have felt at the idea that their vanilla raid was now part of a history book. I ended up making that the punchline instead.
