I just noticed that the wight in the last panel of 700 is Isamu.

But Belkar "killed" him, here.
...Maybe another wight stole the bandanna?
Edit: No, he's got the outfit, too. Continuity error?

Well, clearly Tsukiko's Amazing Wight-Making Spell affects targets who were previously undead.

It's been clearly established that wights covet human clothing. They didn't let Isamu's snappy outfit go to waste.

Wait seriously? :smallconfused: Is this just a funny comic thing or is this like legit fluff?

Legit comic thing.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Well, maybe Tsukiko thought Isamu's outfit looked cute and had her wights play dress-up with it? :smallbiggrin:

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
There's also the Revive Undead spell in Libris Mortis, a book Tsukiko would like. Plus she was capable of sixth-level arcane spells. (Though the simplest answer is that Rich forgot or ignored that rule about rereanimating undead.)
Something I noticed: Sabine seems much happier than Nale about Zz'dtri's return in #822. Perhaps they have a friendship similar to Haley and V's?

That would mirror Nale being more concerned about Thog and Elan liking Roy.

uhm. Why doesn't he just use a Sending spell to check in with family, or get permission to come home?

Eh? When has Nale ever shown the slightest shred of concern for Thog? In the blueprint for his plan to capture Julia in #255, he estimated an 84% of the anvil hitting Thog and considered this acceptable...as far as Nale is concerned, Thog is just a giant meat shield.

I think they meant how Nale was the one to ask about what happened to Thog in the strip in question.
But really, it's the opposite - it's Thog that's concerned about Nale.
I do agree that Sabine's reaction there was kind of interesting.

Isn't he still doing that? If I write a letter to my mother, are I not contacting my mother?
I think the reason has to do with... well, formality. If I'm going to try and kindly ask my esteemed leader for permission to return home despite his earlier wishes, I don't want to do it in 25 words or less. He's probably well aware he'll have a much higher chance of success if he goes through the proper, traditional channels.
I imagine suddenly Sending at someone might be kind of rude, if it's your esteemed superior. Like barging into his throne room or something. He could be doing literally anything, and Durkon's image just appears and starts asking to come home. During council, or prayer? Oops.
This isn't relevant to why they didn't think of it, but still bears mentioning; the high priest was dead at that point anyway. Durkon wouldn't have a target, not knowing the new high priest.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Something I hadn't realized in 800 until I re-read the description for Phantasmal Killer: this spell only target one person.
Which mean that Zz'dtri wasn't trying to kill both V and Yuckyuck. He was targetting Yuckyuck specifically (which make sense tactically, as V would have a much better Will save than the kobold). No wonder Y was angry.

Elan is playing the lute for Haley's search skill in the first panel of the latest strip

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
In comic 661 Xykon actually SHOVES HIS HAND DOWN O-CHUL'S THROAT!
Take a moment to think about how unpleasant that would be.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Not so much noticing as guessing, but I would wager that V is the reason Tarquin's wife mysteriously died.

Probably already been mentioned but
Comic 505 Frame 11 is Comic 507 Frame 12. Right down to the same guard being killed.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Well, this isn't really an in-comic thing, but I realized it just now and thought it was a cool thing I noticed so here it is.
Tsukiko was totally like Misa Amane.
Perky gothic pigtail chick in love with the main bad guy? Check. Has great powers of her own, which she uses all for the benefit of loved one? Check. Bad guy totally ignores her despite knowledge that she loves him? Check. Is closer friends with magical monsters (wights, shinigami) than most humans? Check.
And...
Spoiler
Show
Dies at the end in a death scene that is specifically related to love? Check.

Babylon 5 in strip 212 - Belkar's "satisfying thump" line in panel 9. Kinda neat.
Edit: And I also never noticed that
we actually hear said thump later on.
That is absolutely excellent. It explains the "Ahhhh...there is is" line, too! :smallcool:

This seems like a clue ahead of time that Thog doesn't die in Five Rows Down, Three Columns Over (#808).

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Go read panel two and three of Comic 60 out loud. Remember, the conventional way comics are read means you read Yikyik last in panel 2, then Roy first in panel three.
Classy, Giant. Classy.:smallcool:

I would love to see more of Cpt. Axe. In only two panels he established himself as a character archetype.
In 822, panel 8, Nale gives Malack a raspberry face after he submits to Tarquins rebuke that "this is business".
I am more impressed at that moment than any other that Malack was able to restrain himself from gutting Nale alive. I certainly wanted to do so -- it makes killing his children seem like it was all a childish prank in Nale's mind.
