[me] dark legacy comics who wants some bamboo

[AI Mode] In Dark Legacy Comics, the phrase "who wants some bamboo?" is a catchphrase of sorts used by the panda character Keydar. It is often used before the panda charges into a fight or expresses a desire to participate in some aggressive action. In the context of the comics, it is a humorous and slightly absurd representation of his aggressive streak.

The character of Keydar is known for his sometimes-contradictory actions; he is a panda (typically associated with peacefulness) but displays a more chaotic and aggressive side, and the "bamboo" catchphrase highlights this comedic contrast.

Out of this response, the following information is accurate:

1. There is a character in Dark Legacy Comics whose name is "Keydar".

2. Nothing else.

Keydar does appear in the strip containing that phrase ( https://darklegacycomics.com/335 ), but he's the one who isn't a panda.

I'm intrigued that it's possible to run this search repeatedly on Google and get "AI Overview" responses that are all wildly different from each other. A new overview every time! They do not ever get anything right. The closest I've seen an overview come is one that said "there is no strip featuring that phrase", which still isn't true.

In fact, here's one (to the extent that they're different things, this is "AI Overview", not "AI Mode") that I just Googled up:

The line "who wants some bamboo" is from Dark Legacy Comics #338: "Mists of... something". The comic was a satirical commentary on the announcement of the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria expansion.

In the comic, the main characters express their surprise and confusion over the new expansion's focus on pandaren (a humanoid panda race). One of them, after hearing the news, sarcastically holds up a piece of bamboo and says, "Who wants some bamboo?" to his guildmates, who look on with expressions of deep disappointment. The comic satirized the player base's initial skepticism about the expansion's direction.

Verification...

1. The line is from strip #338: false

2. Strip #338 is titled "Mists of... something": false

3. Strip #338 is a commentary on the announcement of Mists of Pandaria: false [It appears to be a commentary on a change implemented in Warlords of Draenor, except it was published far too early for that. I guess it's a commentary on the stag form, which is technically an MoP change.]

4. Synopsis: entirely made up
