That ledger is starting to sound like a bookmaker’s or loanshark’s ledger.
Very possible.
Or she was tracking stats because she suspected someone of cheating? Which would be a good reason for the book to be missing as well. In that case, good luck finding it.
Or maybe a list of plays and counterplays for every eventuality in a game that she was memorizing, much like a chessmaster’s notes…
"If Kt-KB4 then QB to KR5"
(which may or may not make sense, I’m not looking at a chessboard at the moment, not that it would help any)
Good luck! Thanks for the comic!
Wishing you the absolute best, and cheering you on, as always.
Wishing you all the best. Good luck!
Always glad to see an update, whenever it arrives! No worries, Rich. 🙂
The book was about statistics and maths! For a profane, it would look like magic writing. She was "cheating" but because was studying the game, tactics, etc…
Title of this strip goes out to P!ENAPPLE !
t!
… I’m speechless 😉
Good luck!
All the best to you, hang in there – and thanks very much for the comic, cool as always!
Good luck!
Progression–always nice to see.
And I agree with some of the theories–that perhaps magic wasn’t involved but simple mathematical analysis.
Looking forward to the next installment–whenever it is.
Or someone wanted what was tucked IN the book….
Always kept a $20 in a copy of Dante so I needed it I could say
"where in HELL is my money !!!"
Hopefully hers wasn’t made of gnusprint…
Even if it does make better TP than the slick folio pages
Rich, wishing you the best of luck, and the strongest of oxygen for your quick breath!
The "book" is a parasitic life-form whose mouth-parts were holding on tightly to its host and using chemical and physical means to adjust the host’s behaviour to not want to get rid of the parasite. When the host died from being predated upon, the parasite moved onto a new host. Look for the person with a new wide shallow protrusion under their clothes.
They were attached to one another
attached ?
yes, at the wrists and ankles
The first one to get the reference gets the prize !!!
Whoever finds the book had better remeber to say the words before they open it…

Can they just go with "Open Sesame"?
I gnu something wasn’t right 😛
maybe it was a list of cards that was gathered with divination spells, and knowing which cards she had she could figure out what everybody else had and play accordingly.
Or just use marked cards. In a universe where magical cheating is a thing, something as simple as marked cards might be overlooked.
That was covered in Strip #3460.
t!
just because…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j53z6RfFb7U
Great find! That was so gnice of you to share that. ?
Thanks, I gnu someone would like it 🙂
A connoisseur is looking for new restaurants to visit and notices one that promises to be able to serve the meat of any animal. He thinks it’s a hoax but decides to give it a try anyway.
He enters the restaurant and is seated at a table with fine white tablecloth and expensive-looking silverware. The waiter hands him a menu filled with descriptions of strange and exotic dishes: elephant cutlets, lion chops, yak’s tongue, anaconda brains, and the like.
The connoisseur decides to give the chef a real challenge and order off the menu. He tells the waiter, "I’d like a gnu steak, prepared in whatever manner the chef recommends." The waiter agrees and after a while returns with a sizzling slab of meat on a silver platter.
At the conclusion of his meal, the waiter asks the diner, "Was everything to your satisfaction, sir?"
"The steak was excellent," replies the connoisseur. "However, I don’t know what meat that was, but it was definitely not gnu."
"That’s true," the waiter confesses, "but I think you’ll agree it was as good as gnu."
Of course, take your time. We’ll all still be here.
But I’d be remiss, if I didn’t wish you a happy 1 year anniversary, for the last thing you posted on the other site. 😉
I am a little confused here… didn’t Eliddel describe the book’s contents and not Taurenil?
