If you just read Chainmail Bikini and don’t hang out in the forums you might have missed it, but Shawn and I (er, mostly Shawn so far) have begun doing “Wednesday updates”, where we post some bit of art or other funny stuff that’s related to the comic but doesn’t fit into the story.
Yesterday Shawn posted bit bit about “Schrà¶dinger’s Pants“. He and I both have different ideas about what sort of pants the Ramgar character is wearing. He thinks of it one way, I think of it another, and the “answer” has never appeared in the strip. He even has a poll going over at FtB so people can make their own guesses.
Which is it? What is he really wearing? How long until the situation forces us to see him from the waist down? I guess we can all argue about it fruitlessly until we find out. That seems to be the way you’re supposed to do things on the internet, and we are nothing if not rigorous stewards of tradition.
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
Why The Christmas Shopping Season is Worse Every Year
Everyone hates Black Friday sales. Even retailers! So why does it exist?
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Spec Ops: The Line
A videogame that judges its audience, criticizes its genre, and hates its premise. How did this thing get made?
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.

Hmm, this totally made me look down, whether or not my own pants still existed…
I totally missed out on this. Is there a way it could be included in the main ftb.com/comic. Not necessarily insinuated into the comic continuity, but just made accessible?
The bonus stuff appears in the RSS feed, if you’re an RSS type of person.
I love the RSS feed on LiveJournal… now if only my new journal style would adapt to images wider than the main column…
Also Phlux, there’s a link to it at the bottom of the comic. The possible options so far look very entertaining. I’m personally voting for a tutu :-)
Anyway Shamus, since I don’t mess around on those forums much, you guys are doing a bang up job with Chainmail Bikini, no matter what anyone else says.
Err…umm…
Assuming “bang up” is a good thing… I suppose I should really look up my slang before just tossing it out… Assuming tossing it out means using it in a statement… oh spit.
I don’t know about the pants but from the pictures it seems he is wearing fuzzy slippers on his feet. This makes me think he is perhaps wearing pajama bottoms.
Sounds like Wilson’s face on Home Improvement….
It’s on the RSS feed, and I’ll try to remember to update the blurb at the bottom of Monday’s comic with a link every Wednesday.
There’s also a link under the comic to Bonus Features, which will link to all of the Wednesday Updates.
I wonder if anyone reads comments posted in an older thread…
Well, as far as I know, he’s wearing all possibilities of pants at the same time, and simply hasn’t been forced into one set in particular by my own outside influence, yet.
Still, I’d like to think that when I DO force him into a choice by viewing the bottom, that he will in fact be wearing
I’d say, the player just doesn’t have a clear picture of his chars pants in his head at all. So they may just vary ingame, depending on circumstances.
