What's growing from the Fun in the second-last panel?
I interpreted that as arteries.  My take is that he cut out the dragon's heart and is chowing down to gain its power.
This is a good take.

I took it as the fun being like mutated or something. But now that i look back at it, yeah it does look like arteries and what not.

even more accurate version

hardcore gamer spends 6 hours on the wiki looking up the most efficient way to play by abusing exploits and bugs, another 6 hours on the forum telling people why they're playing incorrectly, and 20 minutes playing the game before realizing that it's really just a spreadsheet with fancy graphics and less dialogue

casual gamer spends 15 minutes playing, then stops playing to answer his phone to receive an invite to a party which will feature social interaction with actual living people

dwarf fortress player plays for 10 minutes, downloads mayday's tileset, spends 2 hours on the forums talking about how much he hates tilesets and would never use one, especially not mayday's which looks like crap, 25 hours writing elf/kobold slashfic and drawing comics about cats and nobles, and 14 hours meticulously trimming his or her beard or beards

And I fall into none of these groups... I play games for hours, visit these forums, then play games for several more hours. Oh yeah, sleeping and eating fit in there somewhere too.

I made a mod where giant spiders, snake-people, minotaurs, dwarves, and a gnome-like creature were all the same species.  In spite of being radically different sizes, a snake-person and a spider could get married and have a minotaur as a child.
A wonderful love story of a family that is truly without prejudice.
