[My Name is Immaterial]

Having that belt of Giant Strength draped over him made Mr. Scruffy strong enough to send a wolf flying through a wall. Roy is a...17, 18 strength fighter. Whether it's a +4 or +6 belt, that's still a lot.

And he's reasonably high-leveled, so he might have another +2 or +3 from that.

The best part about this strip is that it makes you realize that ability to hold a rope down by D&D rules has nothing to do with mass.

Clearly the instant you hold onto a rope, your friction increases by a near infinite percentage.

Wouldn't it be drag in this case? He'd be moving through the air, not along the ground.

Mages, create/extinguish great conflagrations with a single spell... or two..  Clerics(even crappy dual class ones) save lives with nary an effort.

Us fighters?   We hold a rope.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I suddenly want to create a fighter based around ropes/chains.

[GlyphGryph]

Like the one that he killed earlier in the comic by making him jump off a cliff?

Not so much jumping than backed up over a cliff edge.

[Remuthra]

Serves him right for not taking a flight-capable subclass.

[Greiger]

You forgot flight capable race.  (Though only while carrying a 'light' load)

[Remuthra]

I meant to say subrace, not subclass .

[smjjames]

Or even a Belt of Levitation or something.

Damn right, we do. And, we can dual wield if needed.

[Remuthra]

Make sure to take Weapon Focus (Rope) to get a +2 to weight limit.

[Akura]

But isn't Use Rope a cross-class skill for Fighters?

[Remuthra]

No, they just treat rope use as a ranged touch attack, so they don't need the Use Rope skill.

Okay, on the BoGS:
Standard BoGSs cannot provide a bonus greater that +6. Mr. Scruffy, an alleged cat, was able to knock a large wolf through a brick wall while under the affects of the belt. Cats have a strength of 3. His strength would then have been boosted to 9. I doubt, then, that this is a standard BoGS.

I'm fairly certain that Mr. Scruffy is a ranger companion, actually. If it's 3.5 rules, he probably has 4 hit dice and a +2 strength bonus. That's still a little hard to believe even if the cat took Improved Natural Weapon and has 12 strength though.
