But, 6th level worth of exp would be about 1 level of experience in all classes. (remember that you need more and more experience per level as you progress)
11th level would put you around 5th in all classes if you had them all I think. Sorry been a long, LONG time since I played AD&D
Well, you may be right

So according to Kore, MinMax is
no true adventurer.

Except that's not how it works anymore. You don't divide the XP into classes individually, you advance one level at a time, with +1 to one class each time you level up. A character with 11 classes would have to add a new class every level until he was level 11, at which point he would be first level in all classes and could start adding additional levels. To be level 2 in all classes, he would have to reach level 22, and he would suck at all of them.

Never thought of that.

That's artistic license...there are lots of things in the comic that won't work in the actual game (Klik and Junior, for example, don't even roll initiative.

I would say the comic stepped away from making fun of the game mechanics a long time ago and is now more about the story and story tropes instead of D&D mechanics
After all, nobody rolled initiative since the demon thingie.

It doesn't have to be Forgath using Racist Axe, it could be Kin showing up just in time and using her now invincible tail. Maybe she holds Kore down and squeezes until his helmet comes off and we see his face...

All Kin has to do is show up and get shot full of bolts by Kore. MM and Complains would both shout "Kin," then do a double-take at each other. Complains would shout "We have to save her" and they would all be on the same side. I can't imagine that she isn't going to reason out that something got deleted. I wonder if MM can remember Kin's necklace now that he's out of the maze?

Complains didn't know Kin. Chief got to know her fairly well and Big Ears tried to save her. I think she may have shouted at everyone in the wagon with some shouting back but not a whole lot of interaction.

Only Chief talked to Kin in the sense of getting to know her. The others will likely recognize her if she appears, but not if they just hear Minmax say her name like in some scenarios people are predicting. Chief said her name to the others but without explaining who it had been (and thought she was dead).
Complains also tried to save her when she first fell, but his arm gave out again.
