Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

"Looking for Group" a webcomic written by Ryan Sohmer and drawn by Lar DeSouza.
The comic follows the adventures of Cale'Anon (an elven hunter) and Richard (an undead warlock), as well as their companions, and takes a good natured pop at stuff like Dungeons & Dragons, The Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire, World of Warcraft and the like.
Gloriously funny, well worth a read.sigpic
