I don't think I quite have the figure for it.

I think she does. Chicki DID say she quit her job when she found the paradise of a section of Jyrras mansion made mostly of candy.
For some reason the last panel made me immediately think of B.B. Hood from Darkstalkers.
My favorite characters need to stop being sociopaths.

True... square doesn't exactly like rectangle...

Given Zezzuva's recent revelation I wouldn't be surprised if she was a spy...

i doubt it: basically their entire insectis colony was turned into cubi, all cubi have wings and their clan's symbol on them
i guess if she was a spy she would paint her symbol, but she doesn't have wings and she seem to be from another specie of insectis than kiki, the clan representative for Zezzuva, so it's unlikely
However,all 'Cubi can shapeshift their wings away. Dan does this regularly.
Lightning bolt wouldn't do any good against a rogue (That I suspect the Red Hot rogue is based on, and the issue with Reflex saves that led to the Pillow incident somewhat confirm the link). Rogues have evasion and Good Reflex saves, and Lightning allows a reflex save for half damage. However, a psion or wilder with the equivalent power could instead use the psionic version of the elemental blasting spells, which can allow Cold to be used to target Fortitude instead. That said, psionic augmentations make blasting more expensive than they are for wizards or sorcerers.

.......... nope. ...Not a word. :)
I'm too old you see. RPG games were after my time. Still, paragraphs like the one above make the regret easier to bear...
I'm not having a go btw. It's just... wow

First off, the 'lightning bolt, lightning bolt' is a reference to something which you're probably better off for not having seen. It's... umm... well, let's just say it is a video about LARPing at it's most socially awkward.
Second... what 3.5 caster would bother with blastomancy like Lightning Bolt when they can drop a Save or Lose effect like Stinking Cloud, Glitterdust, or Grease? Casters don't do damage in 3.5, not if they are smart. They simply end the encounter in a single casting.
A Psion, on the other hand, is a pretty effective Blaster. Not in the league of a Mailman build which cheats by using Spell Matrix, Spell Fusion, and Metamagic Shenanigans to get a few thousand d6 in a single round using Orb of Fire. But not bad at going nova. And has some rather cute tricks for regaining his Power Points.
A far cry from Gygax's day, back when players were PLAYERS, and we had our THAC0 and decending AC numbers and loved 'em!

tl;dr version: Wizards don't need to do damage. Wizards just cast 'I win'.

I got the gist of it, it's the finer details that elude me. Seems hella complicated.

Well, to be fair, D&D 3.5 is pretty easily broken. There's... some very, very bad things that can be done.
These days, I use a simpler but more entertaining system with similar roots. It's called Legend (http://ruleofcool.com). It pretty much inverts all the classic D&D tropes and is a hell of a lot more fun to play. Plus the rulebook is free to download at the website.
