I would assume that the life of a warlock is saturated in paranoia. To start with, it is a well known fact that 'locks play loosely with that whole "morality" concept. Both the Alliance and Horde tend to distrust them, and for good reason; never leave a warlock alone with your virgin daughter if you don't want bloody demonic ritual mess all over your carpet. Worse then that, however, is the unspoken truth that Zahktib or Jhar'kruk or whatever the heck randomly named demon they currently have as their minion is doing so entirely under coercion, and most likely has dark, bitter, perhaps slightly silly revenge thriving in their shadowy demonic minds, as illustrated in the comic above. Special thanks go out to a strategically placed forearm/bracer, preventing me from having to submit the image for ESRB approval or label the post NSFW.
As long as we are on the subject of warlock pets, one question has puzzled me from the moment I first saw their big blue gaseous level 10 companions:
Why are they called Voidwalkers, when don't have any legs?
No no, don't answer. Just ponder it for awhile. Let it rot away a few layers of precious brain cells. You'll thank me for it later, as those specific cells were the ones that were going to spark up next week and convince you that you should re-roll as a Dwarven melee hunter that only uses throwing weapons for ranged pulls. It wouldn't have been a pretty sight.
Arthur E. "Arturis" Orneck sold his soul for the honor of drawing this weekly web comic that you partake of each Tuesday morning. The WoW Insider staff went to great expense to have a real-world warlock turn it into a large purple shard, which he gets sent photos of once a week from various exotic locations, much like the gnome from Amelie.

Glad to know they dream of the way it ought to be, lol.

lol / silly, thanks for the chuckle.
@5
Other than the fact it has a warlock as the subject, it isn't the same idea.

@7
Did you mean that for me? I'm #6! Anyway, it was just a snippet of a longer arc wherein the has plotted revenge against the warlock for the constant abuse it suffers.
that being said, I love the /silly that says it all without requiring a story arc :)

I am an avid webcomic reader of a multitude of sites, and Looking For Group is definitely on my list. I didn't, however, make the conscious mental connection between LFG and this weeks comic, and though they share the same "scorned pet wants revenge" concept, I think we went separate enough directions in the execution that they can both coexist on this vast internet of ours. The idea actually came to me when I realized that the poor Voidwalker gets repeatedly ordered by his master to charge into battle butt-nekkid with nothing but his trademark bracers to protect him! If there was a demonic labor union, I'm sure we would see picketing and strikes by now.
Thanks again for the positive feedback, guys and gals!

They walk the void. Legs are pretty useless for walking on void...

When I first got my FelGuard it seemed like everyone around me had one named Haadhun. I miss my FelGuard, but you know how demon spec warlocks get into raids.
