The Sphinx quizzed Oedipus on this one.

She quizzed everyone who tried to enter Thebes and ate the losers. It’s ’man’. Or woman, whatever. When he is young he crawls. in his prime he walks on two feet and in old age he utilizes a walking stick.

you should read your british history about buckingham palace

Shit Tyrone, get it together!

"A miserable pile of emotions."
I'm sorry, the correct answer was "What is a man?"
"..."

You don't make this easy. I love Jeopardy. but the floor drives me crazy. It boggles my eyes; PLEASE make the floor more compatible to your watchers. Thanks.

When will JEOPARDY sponsor the LOTTERY CONTESTANTS SHOW WITH ALEX TREBEK?

Nevermind I got it.....

Please, can someone explain this, i really dont get this.

Dear Jeopardy,
What colleges in the SOUTH have participated as constestants on COLLEGE JEOPARDY? From what we've seen NOTRE DAME, VASSER, PRINCETON, AND U-CAL, have been some of the constant winners.
Please send COLLEGE(TEAM/SINGLE) FORM to: NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY/ALUMNI

Years later Jo, and this is still comic gold. You should sell poster size prints of this, if you don't already.

This comic is amazing. One that gives the most laughs in the simplest package I've seen.

The only thing I can think of that would make it better is if there was a glass of wine opposite Dracula's buzzer.

The answer is YOU!

That is freakin' hilarious in its cleverness! XD

Whats the matter with you, Darwin has be discredited and it all bunk.

god i thought it was like a bucket of water in the rain then evaporated or some shit I Didn't play symphony of the night i played circle of the moon

way too much win, this is too much

Miserable pile of secrets~~~~~~~

This is truely a really amazing comic strip! And his face of pure serious-ness just makes it perfect!

In the "morning" of life as a baby, man crawls. In the "noon" he walks on two legs. In the "evening" of life, man gets old and walks with a cane.
The sphinx is cute. I'd like to see her again sometime.

While I get the reference, what I don't get is how that answers the riddle. How does 'a man' answer it? O.o

...curse you! This is why I shouldn't read gaming comics while drinking. Corona out of your nose is not a comfortable feeling. Great job!

Didn't even recognise him, but the "WHAT IS A MAN!!?" came imediantly to my head

I figured it has to be Castlevania related from Drac..but damn, that's clever. (Thanks for other OPs for posting an answer).
Almost as clever as "Engy is a credit to the team" from before, haha.

Dracula's drawing is perfect. I hope most people get this joke

I read the answer, put the reply in the form of a question... just in time to scroll down to a mugshot of Drac.

One of the best single-pages comics I've ever seen, for presentation if not for originality.

Of course Dracula has 0.  He's the No-Life King.

This is one of the best single strip comics I've ever seen, if not the best. The execution is perfect, sometimes you have to risk the fact that some people won't get it, because to the people who do it's hilarious. Keep it up.

WHAT IS A MAN? Nothing but a miserable pile of secrets! But enough talk... have at you!

Fucking newfags. There is the joke. Go look up the sound clip on YouTube.

Wow....this is brilliant...

its humens

10000 hearts for Dracula? That is not enough.

The answer is Human.

I totally agree with you Corpi. This is pretty lame, and it just mucks around with the comic and distracts from it.

The notes system should be scrapped, it brings nothing good here. "Where's the pussy?", for chrissakes.

A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS

Hahahahaaaaa I love it. xD Beautiful.

I feel like I'm the only one who gets it at times, though.

The Dracula guy kinda looks like Phil Ken Sebben from Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law... :o

god dracula's facial expression is dead on from the game, and it's so funny because it works.

Oh ho ho~

Uh...
Uh...
UH...
A whale!

...Did I get it?

In general, I'm not a huge fan of comment systems. Crowd-sourcing for the loss. If you think it increases your traffic or something, though, go for it.

Keep up the good work; don't to what people have to say. Thanks :)

Hahah clever joke is clever.

"What is a meal? A miserable little pile of pancakes! But enough breakfast... have at you!"

oh my god the only thing blocking her nipples is that thin piece of paper fap fap fap

What is... A MAN?

Don't listen to the people who don't get it, any more words would have ruined it.

Anyway, great comic. I actually laughed out loud which is very rare for a webcomic.

What IS a MAN?


A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS.

I KNOW THAT!! IT'S A MAN!!! ... You didn't phrase it as a question ... WHAT IS A MAAAHN??? You fail..

This is the awesomest thing ever.

Please keep your comics verbally spare. You've done a good job with it so far, and the fact that you've been able to routinely convey jokes and plot largely without words is impressive. Also, this would've been a lame joke if you had made dracula say it. Just the visual impact carries it well.

What is a miserable pile of secrets?

also...draclua is about to win the whole game :D

the dracula is about to say "WHAT IS A MAN!?" becuse he said that in a game....get it now?

nerf now does not need more explaining, for the love of god please don't turn this into buckley 2.0

and knock it off with the LOL RULE 63 TF2 XDDDD shit, it stopped being funny a very, very long time ago

How can you guys not get this? You kids clearly aren't playing enough video games!

I think I know it, but I don't think I should say it... NIGGERS

While im happy theres a comments system now, i feel that the Notes idea was a bad one =/
Also, Great comic :) hope to see more tf2 ones later :)

Oh come on.
Why did you have to stop doing TF2 comics?
They weren't the best, but they were better than this.

It took me a couple of seconds before I got the joke.
Very clever...

For those who didn't get the reference.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfjBRngsM60

it took me half a second, and then when it hit me, I laughed so hard. This is truly the most brilliant thing I have seen in quite a while. I keep laughing every time. :)

Needs moar explaining :P
I don't get it.

Also, TF2 comics FTW :D

Good thing he didn't let Richter win, ten thousand hearts can use a LOT of Holy Water item-crashes.

What is a test?

I didt get this comic at first, it had to be explained to me lol. For any of you who use facebook there is now a nerfnow page.

Oh man, his face XD

Ummm... What is a mahhhn??? And yes I will troll now :D

Pun hell is a very real place where you are going to go, should these criminally bad puns keep up.

...Cause he's dead?

Are Dracula and the Sphinx going to fight now?

Stop it, these comments will only lead to faggotry and inflated egos.

I really love the TF2 comics and I look forward to more of them, but this is easily the single most brilliant comic you've done.

aahh, finally i can sat something about the comics :D
this one is great, loved Simphony of the Night

is it, What is a shitty comic?

Hah others got owned horribly.
For some reason, that death looks so cute. I want to hug it, even if it's a guy. I just hope it's a she though

Wow. This is one of the most perfect comic strip segments I've seen in a long time.

it's well known riddle but I don't get last panel

The answer is....

"What is a man" a line from Dracula from castlevania symphony of the night

"What is a man, A miserable pile of secrets. Enough talk! Have at you!"

The answer is nothing but a miserable pile of secrets.

have at you!

i dont get it D:

It took me a minute to get this one.

A real man beats his opponent in one blow.

Coincidence? I think not.

Oedipus Rex for the win!

Not dumb, just biding his time.

Zero Hearts!?! How can the dracula be so dumb? D:

Seems pretty similar to todays Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20081007.gif

Coincidence?

I know the answer! And obviously Drac knows!

And yes, Drac was the original vampire badass

Dracula is lookinbg badass as always :)

This is extremely clever.

...I have no idea what's going on. x_X

And Woot! First comment evar. :D
