Remember is a webcomic written by Tim Maughan and drawn by him in the same or similar art style to Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew. It follows the adventures of Igon Minoblendy, one of the last survivors of Arcania, along with one of his best friends (And likely one of the few still surviving) Rain Morgan.

The comic has entered its sixth "book", The War Diaries, which will chronicle the last days of the the Moon Elf Empire.

This comic has examples of:

Amusing Injuries: The running gag of people landing on Igon after a teleportation
Added Alliterative Appeal: The book titles, from Betrayal Blues to Malevolent Machinations
Art Evolution: The comic originally started as a way for the author to develop his artistic ability, the art has seen various improvements as the story has gone on, including a female body type
Bilingual Bonus: Igon speaks 6 different languages besides English, 3 of which are dead
Deadpan Snarker: Igon. A lot, though others have fallen to it occasionally
Deal With the Devil: Igon and Levistus
Distant Finale: Book 5, the last in the series, occurs a whooping 104 years later
Doomed Hometown: The aforementioned Arcania
Failed a Spot Check: Disputable, the big undead killing machine was standing on a statue stand at the time after all
Drunken Montage: Rain during Dwarven festivities
Foreshadowing: Mr Huggles in the box, subverted in Rain & Lex having the same birthday despite Rain being a couple years younger than him
Funetik Aksent: Dwarves, though different individuals do this in different intensities, Oscar is very dense, King Stonehammer only does it badly when nervous, Bedelia doesn't at all
Genre Savvy: Not only does Igon and many other characters tend to get a touch dramatic, it's described as being a mandatory class in the magical academy curriculum
Heroic Sacrifice: A few, notably Steph and King Stonehammer
Hulk Speak: The half-orc soldiers, who are denied normal education back home
La Résistance: The Exersus Resistance
Luke, I Am Your Father: Rain and Lex, though as half-siblings by their mother
Magic A Is Magic A: So consistent it nearly kills them all
My Death Is Just the Beginning: Stonehammer, almost literally said
No Name Given: Azul for the entirety of Book One, as well as "Mr Huggles" during the Earthlake battle
Prequel: The entire story is a prequel for the author's character in an artistic MORPG
Role Playing Game Verse: Subverted and played straight, with "Schizotec Province" and the Pikalites
Running Gag: The teleportation landings of Igon, and others on top of him
Schedule Slip: Almost always averted.
Squishy Wizard: Igon, and to a lesser extent Rain
The Unintelligible: The innate Pikalite language, literally just "Chu"
Unstoppable Rage: "Black Rain"
The Reveal: Mr Huggles and Rain & Lex's relationship
Vancian Magic: The characters are at one time trapped under metres of sand in an abandoned temple because of this
Whoopi Epiphany Speech: Rain and Igon's argument near the end of Book One
