  The caves in the last frame look a lot like a stack of pancakes. Nice touch!

  Did he cook the pancakes on his armor with the fire breathing dragon or does the dragon have pancake breath? If that's the case, then why kill it!

  okay, so he has butter in his hand....and the dragon appears, I'm guessing he throws the butter at the dragon, cause it's his weakness? and the pancakes are blood?
  
  hmm.......

  I'm a bit perplexed by a pancake-breathing dragon keeping butter and syrup as treasure. If I breathed pancakes, I would never want to eat them. Is he just a friendly dragon who likes to feed people?

  I'd have to say this was funnier after it had to be over explained.

  It took me a while to get this one, like the previous comic. In the first panel I thought it was the dragon that held the butter, before I noticed the armor that dons the arm.

  hmmm... the pancakes are splattered all over the knight's body... after you've fought a normal dragon that would've been blood. So the dragon was made out of pancakes?
  
  Nope, still don't quite get it :p

  When it was called "batter breathing dragon" I thought the dragon sprayed batter that the knight somehow cooked into pancakes on his armor. Now that it's "pancake dragon" I see what Thuro sees. Pancake Breathing Dragon might work a little better, maybe.

  The comic was concieved with the title "Pancake Dragon". Then, at 5AM after I'd been up all night putting the finishing touches on the last panel I thought, "Ooooh! Batter-Breathing has some great title-oriented alliteration! I'll go with that instead."

  I get it. You put 3 non sequitur illustrations in a row creating a comic that makes no sense, then sit back and laugh at everyone's explanations. The joke is on us! Brilliant!

  Heh. I admit, I do enjoy the over elaborate explanations sometimes, but to utterly confuse readers has never been our intent.

  I completely get what you're after here, the knight discovers the trove of pancake paraphernalia (butter, syrup, etc), and stares quizzically at a stick of butter, when suddenly, the dragon rears its ugly head. The dragon is easily defeated because, as we learn in panel three, it breathes pancakes. This confuses the knight, and he wonders and his survival, and his pancake covered armor.
  However, I see how this could be confusing. I think perhaps too much is left up to our imagination? Maybe a visualization of something to guide the reader to what is going on here.

  I think there's too much happening in between panels 2 and 3 for people to fill in the blanks.
  
  I certainly don't totally understand what's happening. I think it's more likely the knight threw ingredients into the dragon to make the pancakes in panel 3. But the fact all the knight has is butter and syrup suggests that the dragon breathes pancakes. Why would a dragon breathe pancakes? And why would that be his undoing?

  What I understood is the knight threw ingredients at the dragon, then it breaths fire and that makes pancakes. Isn't that the joke ?

  I thought since it's a batter dragon, the torch cooks the dragon and then the knight cuts him into pancakes. Made sense to me.

  The reason everyone is having trouble here is because they are thinking too hard.
  It's pretty simple.
  The dragon's horde is syrup and butter, and instead of breathing fire, he breathes pancakes.
  
  Panel1: Knight finds dragon horde and wonders "wtf? butter in a cave?"
  Panel2: Holy crap dragon!
  Panel3: Well the dragon is dead, but wtf? Pancakes?

  My first thought was that the dragon was really made of stacks of pancakes and that the knight broke him down into his individual components. I don't see how he could breathe batter, that's just silly (unlike the idea of a dragon made of pancakes, which has its roots in the tale of Little Black Sambo, who saw tigers turn into butter).

  I agree with Juliet here. The horizontal lines across the dragon's body indicate that it's made of a ginormous stack of living pancakes. I would've added some strawberries as blood in the last panel tho. Plus I would've called it Dungeons and Flapjacks.

  I thought the dragon breathed out pancakes instead of fire. :(
  
  Kinda reminds me of Albi the racist dragon who's tears turn into jellybeans.

  and i have totally insane idea: the dragon is made of pancake and can be deafeted (eaten) only with syrup and butter. I just think that this pile of butter and syrup is his arsenal and knight is slicing him in the end :D
