World of Warcraft: "The Louganis Dive"
Posted: Monday August 16th, 2004

Today's comic is a GU nod to the Olympics.
I couldn't resist drawing folks holding signs to score someone's dive and offering NBC-esque commentary on the issue.
Now, if you have WoW and you want to try it yourself... go to Thunder Bluff (The Tauren main city), then jump off the bluff to the amusement of your friends. You can guage success by the damage you take, or your proximity to a given target (Like Gnome Darts).
For those of you not overly familiar with the sport of Olympic Diving, Greg Louganis was a terrific diver who is, unfortunately, most remembered for smacking his head, good and proper, on the diving board. So, uhhh... jumping off TB and landing on your head... you get the picture.
Anywho, I haven't really been paying any attention to the Olympics. I'm not sure if it's my disinterest in the whole thing; middle-age apathy; or I'm just plain damn busy. Most likely, it's a combination of all three.
