LARP

Aug 31, 2018 — Comic #187
A soldier mocks a man in a helmet with a flail and shield who says he’s reenacting a fantasy battle: “That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! You all put on costumes and pretend to fight fake monsters! Maybe you should go join the real military!” Asked about his own weekend, the soldier says, “My Guard unit is drilling. We’re preparing for an invasion by some country called Atropia.” The LARPer replies, “Stay safe.”

“Oh cool, I think I read that series.”
