There's a place called Spooky Nook nearby. Far from being a haunted area its name comes from the Amish slang for oval office.

About 30 minutes south of Virginia beach. Nice place for a relaxing drive; they have a bike path there but the skeeters will eat you alive if you try it

There is a small village near where I grew up which according to legend managed to somehow annoy a local lord in medieval times - while he couldn't properly get back to them, he managed to officially change their settlement's name to “Sixtnitgern“ (Bavarian for “one dislikes seeing [them]“), a name which it continues to carry even now

I love the little detail of their breath fogging from the cold. ...and now I see it was in the last comic too (everyone except Durkon, naturally) and I just don't pay attention. Still a nice touch though.

Blackwing has the most enormous balls to be napping on a loving tiger like that. I don't care if it's an intelligent talking tiger that's Lawful Good, I wouldn't nap on a fuckin' tiger.
