Quite a bit, potentially. They’re pretty big claws, and slashing weapons are one of the better options for fighting a giant jelly (try poking one with a spear, and see how far you get).
How about some props to the author for some great artwork???
Love the expression on the face, first panel, right.
Can’t believe that there are aren’t more comments for this comic . . . it consistently delivers and deserves a bigger audience! (Even if DND based comics aren’t the biggest demographic ever.)
What with “Goblins” and “Order of the Stick” I would’ve thought that D&D comics capture a rather large demographic. So clearly there must be something wrong with this comic. Hmm. Wonder what it could be? Because I just can’t find it. 😉
if everyone who comments voted for it on topwebcomics, for instance, it would probably garner a few more readers. Particularly if it were concentrated on a month and got it into the top hundred. (Top ten is even better, but top hundred seems to draw readers.)
Partly the answer is time – Order of the Stick and Goblins have both been running for much longer than the couple of years Rusty & Co have been adventuring. And perhaps too the fact that they’re a little more serious – it can be hard to convince people that a strip featuring a rust monster, mimic and gelatinuous cube as protagonists can actually be good, not just a cheap gimmick.
That said, I’ve managed to get several friends hooked on this strip, to the point where people occasionally drop references to it into our gaming sessions.

I have to agree that Cube was very inconsiderate there.
I sense an Equilibrium-style face sliding scene in the next panel.
What the hell does he think claws are gonna do to a cube? Seriously?
I dunno. Make it into a whole bunch of little cubes?
Rectanglar prisms actually, or square cuboids if looking from above!

Big yes, Cube-slicing size? NO
So swords are not “dragon cutting” material, but no one ever complained.
Wouldn’t Cube dissolve the claws?
Also, he’s using the wrong hand, so any slashing isn’t going to be on cube
Cube… bringing down the house!
Why I do believe shit is getting done.

A vote-button near the navigation-buttons would make that much more easy.
I’ll see what I can do.
To be sure, there’s a button near the “share” buttons, though that’s a little higher.
To be fair, that button wasn’t there when LurkerAbove mentioned adding it.

Having a page on TVTropes helps — that’s how I discovered it.
GC is a LOT faster than he was in the first adventure. Amazing what a few levels will do for you.
If you’re not better at sixth level than first, you ought to quit — your DM is doing something insane.
Yeah, but when they started he couldn’t even climb an inch-high step. Now he can leap a hundred feet into the air.
Hey, if someone knocked down your house of cards, you’d be slaad , too!
I was honestly expecting cube to just… ~splat~ against the window. More fool me.
Must be a weighted, samurai, garment, thing.
