The Life of Ted!: "What If?"

Okay, so this was never meant to be an actual comic. It was just me playing around, showing folks how I work in the live feed.
Facing a lack of comic idea (which eventually became the Crash Bandicoot strip) I told the folks in the GU Liv chat room that I was going to doodle, and opened the floor for their suggestions. After we got past the obvious "boobies" suggestions, someone asked what would Ted look like as a DM. The answer, as I put it was "he'd look exactly the same except he'd be sitting in the other room playing the 360"... the idea being that he'd NEVER be a DM. But, the sketch sounded fun, so I ran with it.
After the sketch was done, I had Ted answering questions and being "Ted", hand writing his responses into the panel to tease and taunt viewers. Again, it was a throwaway strip. I never intended to post it, not during the week at least. Well after two days of unexpected paper shuffling I was tired and contemplating recycling graphics, but there's was full color Ted right there. Now here he is, freeing himself from the "restrictions" of table top gaming while simultaenously wearing a wizard outfit.
Ahhh the rich diversity that is Ted.
