Original: quest on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
Wizard: Sir knight, do you know why you quest?
Panel 2:
Wizard: Do you truly wish to slay the questing beast? To bring home its hideous hide? Or are you just searching? Trying to find on horseback the hope that seems always elsewhere?
Panel 3:
Knight: I'm just trying to bang the princess.
Wizard: Ah. Ah, yes.
Panel 4:
Wizard: Can't make babies on a peasant, bro. They're barely people.
Wizard: I'm going back to the spirit realms.
Votey:
Wizard (caption): Come to think of it, the orcs are way more egalitarian...
(The wizard's face is drawn looking pensive/troubled below the text.)

A four-panel comic. An old wizard in a blue pointed hat speaks earnestly to an armored knight. Panel 1, wizard: "Sir knight, do you know why you quest?" Panel 2, the wizard waxes poetic: "Do you truly wish to slay the questing beast? To bring home its hideous hide? Or are you just searching? Trying to find on horseback the hope that seems always elsewhere?" Panel 3, the blond knight replies flatly: "I'm just trying to bang the princess." The wizard deflates: "Ah. Ah, yes." Panel 4, the wizard, now matter-of-fact, says "Can't make babies on a peasant, bro. They're barely people. I'm going back to the spirit realms," and walks off with his staff. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the wizard's pensive, troubled face with the caption "Come to think of it, the orcs are way more egalitarian..." as he reconsiders.
