Hi, Tony the creator of "ZOGONIA" here. Some of you may not know it, but the orc-with-pie 'joke' in the strip was a parody of a famous dungeon written by Monte Cook.
Check out Mr. Cook's "The Orc and the Pie" dungeon here:
http://www.montecook.com/arch_lineos11.html
The strip is my personal homage to Mr. Cook's prolific greatness. You don't 'need' to have read Mr. Cook's dungeon to appreciate the strip, but you should read it anyway--if you haven't already. Which I'm sure you have. (...except for YOU. And that guy over there.)
If you are asking, "Who is Monte Cook?" then read this interview at GamingReport.com:

I like you. You're funny. :D
I havn't read it yet, but I will soon.
I loved the Orc and Pie cartoon. I was in a group that did Orc and Pie about two years ago. It was pretty funny. My cleric was the last one to get any pie, and I had to take it out of the mouth of one the characters who fell unconsious when the barbarian (who really wanted the pie... but don't we all?) smacked him pretty hard.
I love your strips, man.
THANKS for the good words, Airsucker and Big Jake!!
Big Jake, your cleric took some pie out of some unconscious character's mouth? Wow...I'm stunned...I'd have done EXACTLY the same thing.
Haha

Tony, your best strip was when the thief kicked the head off the gnome.
good stuff dude
peace
I agree with Quex Ul, our whole gaming group saw the relevance of its intended humor on everyday life.
The gnome.
The kick.
The pause, reaction and final statement were all indicative of everyday life, everywhere.
mahalo.
I seriously could not stop laughing for about 5 minutes, but then again that is the effect that most of your comics have on me, for example the one with the paladin, i mean Kev expertly stated how everyone feels about them, and when you topped it off with the "are you detecting evil one me?! you'd better not be detecting evil on me!" pure genius.
Hey Tony,
I also love your cartoon. The first time I saw it was with the frog in the Lich's skull and the halfling zombies.
After that there was no hope for me.
Great work,
Cheers
hi all, the "tell...the...town...to flee....to helm's deep" was great, so was "RUN! it's trying to bore us to death"
THANKS for the nifty feedback about my strip Quex UI, John Zarate-Khus, sushi lives!, Tony Ranger and vecna's hand!! You guys have made me merry.*

* Not "merry" like a prancing-elf merry. Merry like in a laughing, blood-splattered, tattooed berserker with a battle-axe in his left hand and a severed orc-head in his right hand. Haha. :)
