It looks like WoW (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) has hit another cultural milestone; it's been parodied in no less than the Sunday comics now, as this strip from Bill Amend's Foxtrot shows.

The world is watching, folks....or, playing, in any case. And also, Doomulous Prime might just be the coolest name I've ever heard...

Bill Amend actually had a week of "World of Warquest" strips a month or two ago. They're good for a laugh or two.

Yeah, Amend's been following/parodying WoW for a while now. There was a whole series where Jason made an in-game friend, only to discover it was his nemesis/friend/icky-girl Eileen...
