Ok, so here's the deal. I read Octopus Pie when it started oh so long ago. I read it all the way through completion. I just started re-reading it.
I came to this comic, and remembered that I never understood Will's psuedonym. Sir Liest of Dispositions? Because he lies? But why the dispositions?
In my youth, I shook it off. Surely it was something I'd grow up and figure out. And then, in the shower, as I mulled the name over again, it hit me.
Sir Liest. Surliest.
Meredith, I want you to know
It took me over ten years to get this goddamn pun.

Everyone complains that it's really dorky, but once you get into it, none of that matters. You throw your pride away and feel like a warrior

I've attempted to LARP three times. The time it was done well, it was hella fun. It's all about getting into the spirit of the thing.

Yes, I too got back into bingeing Octopus Pie, amongst others (QC, Girl Genius, etc) to weather the Covid.
