If you don't get the joke please leave a comment guessing why the bugbear is getting so grabby with the shaman. Then go
here for an explanation. If you've never seen a pumkinheaded monster referred to as a bugbear, go
here.
Big thanks to my buddy Pat for sending this to me.
Is that actually a pumpkin-headed bugbear or is it rather a jack-o-bear from Glorantha? The presence of a shaman suggests the latter.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm pretty sure that's a do-karal.
ReplyDeleteFor crying out loud, I'm trying to work a toilet paper joke here. You two are killing me.
ReplyDeleteI got the Charmin reference, but didn't know the pumpkin one. See, you learn something everyday, even on the internet.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was extremely little, like 5, my mom bought a bunch of new Halloween decorations for our new house. One of them was a freaky articulated cardstock guy in funky clothes with a pumpkin head. This creature was labeled "Goblin."
ReplyDeleteEver since, that image has been among those I associate with goblins.
It's a hugbear!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic! I have a couple Knights of the Autumn Gate myself... Great mini!
ReplyDeleteWhile we're on the subject, can anyone tell me the first appearance of RQ's Jack-o-bear? I've been wanting to read that for a long time. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is... a pun...
ReplyDeleteIt's far too late for this, I guess, but in the vain hope that someone will read this: the RQ jack-o-bear is a jokey reference to Jeff Bell's pumpkinhead bugbear in Greyhawk. So it's both a bugbear and a jack-o-bear and the shaman is both a RQ shaman and an AD&D goblin shaman. There: two-system comedy, as one might expect from the omnicompetent Jaquays.
