more comic time: Legend of Bill

I can not believe I haven't seen this online comic before! Legend of Bill is an epic fantasy comic farce. It reminds me of Hagar the Horrible, the Wizard of Id and Dave the Barbarian. The comedy is funny and well done, even if it feels like its been done before. The coolest part of these comics, unlike other cheap barbarian gag strips, is that it tells a story.

Even though bumbling barbarians are hilarious, this post is on a gnome themed blog...

Which is perfect for the Legend of Bill Gnome Syndicate section. Its about gnomes...  spying gnomes. The CIA of gnomes.  I am so excited for this. Cheap gnome jokes with a serialized storyline. Awesome!

The main characters of this side strip are Gnome 12 and Gnome 13. Apparently syndicate gnomes only have numbers, like the MIB. Gnome 12 seems to appear only in the Legend of Bill cartoons, Gnome 13 appears to be the main protagonist of this Gnome Syndicate cross-over. Other characters include Gladys, the Todd, Miss Keebler, Agent Shirley, Kirby, and Chief Perry.

Definitely a cartoon to read and follow.


Update: 
Apparently this comic is in some kind of limbo. The website is down? In progress? Being Built? Anyway, the website is linked above and on the Links Menu. Dave Reddick, the artist/writer, has his website here. but even he links to the same website.
