So, I was just rereading the first book and now I really wish that in #1205 Redcloak had said "Hey, you're that dwarf I watched having sex in Strip 82!"

No, that particular shoe is still hovering in mid-air. Much like a lantern archon.

On the bottom left panel of no. 887 we see the Order and their local allies „retaking” Azure City. Thanh, Tsukiko, Half-Eye and Topknot are shown to be alive, while Jirix is shown to be dead. Outside the illusion Jirix is alive, while the other four are all dead.

And I just realized in the panel where Haley is enjoying her gold, Elan's standing in the door.

What's Haley's line? "Thinking about getting on with you on top of a giant pile of gold still technically counts as thinking of you."

And for a good reason, if panel no.10 here is anything to go by.

Just realised that in the original Crayons of Time, when the Goddess and Monkey are arguing over ninjas, that this wasn't the first time the Gods decided to add something incongruous (and possibly cribbed from an earlier campaign)

In the first panel of strip 11# Haley has three arms.

That is most likely the furthest back anyone has ever pointed out a thing I also never noticed. Now I have to check my book copy, I guess it's fixed there.

To be fair I only found that because it got pointed out in another thread. I just posted it here because none of them did already.

Challenge accepted... in strip 4, Elan claims to be "inspiring competance". Either a) this is an acceptable spelling not in my dictionary or b) it's a stealth joke. I'm choosing to believe b)

This is so going to be a stretch, but in strip no. 1 Roy slices a goblin with an axe in two; the upper half of the goblin flies upwards and remains alive for the time being. In strip no. 106, the first strip of the confrontation in the throne room, Roy slices a goblin with an axe in two; the upper half of the goblin flies upwards and remains alive for the time being.

It's either an addition character design or a facet of the art upgrade between books 5 and 6, but Julia also changed her hair. She went from two streaks on her left, close to her face in a relatively saturated color to streaks on either side, branching out along the way in a less saturated yellow-tinged green. Sort of similar to the Greenhilt sword's lime-ish aura. It's hard to tell exact hues with the overlay of her spell mixing the colours, but it's a nice touch either way.
I've got like six or seven useless notes of minor sprite changes between books. Maybe if I shove 'em together, they'll all make up maybe half a fun fact.

Despite what Bandana said, the main plot did stand still thanks to Serini's doors and Haley did get around to finishing the Thieves' Guild sidequest.

That same comic has V witness some very un-Durkon-like behavior, which is probably why they later didn't assume the vampire was Durkon.
I dunno how obvious it is but hey

In the background, Elan is repeating the conversation he just had with his father.

And Rich poking fun at his own tendency to cram too many word balloons on a page (his own words, not mine).

Holy cow, I love that! Such a subtle and elegant reference to the background event of Elan & Haley talking -- and that never even occurred to me before.

On p. 48 of Origin V erroneously refers to bat guano as „rodent feces.”

Good catch. Bats are, of course, bugs. Super bonus points to whoever gets that reference.

First strip, on the right panel's wall makes an unusual bump, most probably so Durkon's face wouldn't be cut by it. Same panel layout then used in many other strips. In some cases it's covered, sometimes it's left uncolored as an art error. He rid of it in strip 20 but it's returned by strip 22 and used to strip 34 with no change. Same panel form is used in strips 35 and 36 with some changes, but starting with strip 37 he began to draw unique panels for different strips, which he fully accomplished by drawing the strip 41.
