Soup the Comic Strip by Alun Clewe
Comic strip for August 30 2023.
PANEL ONE: Two adventurers, a man and a woman, stand in front of a door. MAN: I can't believe we're this close! According to Jarum's map, the Amulet of Ygraine should be right behind this door! WOMAN: Who names these things, anyway? PANEL TWO: The man tries to open the door. MAN: Huh? WOMAN: Well, why the Amulet of Ygraine? Why not Ygraine's Amulet? PANEL THREE: The man slams his body against the door. WOMAN: I mean, they're all like that. There can't be just a thunder staff. No, it's got to be a staff _of_ thunder. Not a silence ring, but a ring _of_ silence. Not the demon crown, but the crown _of_ demons. Sheez. PANEL FOUR: The man pulls at the door. WOMAN: I mean, do they really think that the silly word "of" makes things sound that much more impressive? MAN: Shut up and help me open this door of lockedness.

Yeah, a lot of these very early strips relied for their humor on poking fun at fantasy conventions. That's not something I think is a particularly fertile vein of humor, and fortunately it's not something I continued for long; I don't think it really extends beyond the eariest strips.
