But did you notice something similar in #606?

(there's a faint picture of Belkar the background)

Not sure if it's been discussed in the discussion thread for A Dish Best Served Warm, After All (#835), but Belkar first mentioned using a kobold's head as a litter box in A Sign That You Have a Problem (#568), decided against it in Justice Can Be a Messy Business (#569), and then had his memory wiped in Clean Slate (#570). Apparently his kobold-head litter-box impulse was so strong that it reemerged 265 strips later.

not a multiple of 6 seconds, since they broke loose on Xykon's turn.
Further, in A Lot Can Happen in Ten Minutes (#650), the running total for Jephton's and Ganonron's time, given after Haley speaks but before Vaarsuvius speaks, is just under a multiple of 6 seconds. In fact, the difference between that running total and the final total in Mending Wounds (#667) is a multiple of 6 seconds, which I suppose could theoretically signify that Jephton and Ganonron break loose on their own turn, rather than Xykon's turn, or instead that they had the same initiative rolls as Xykon.

Not quite as mathmatical but i never noticed the possible Holy grail shout out in 782 along with the Blue and browny red joke of the first two fighters

Early foreshadowing of Belkar and the Scruffinator.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Just noticed this on a read-through from where DStP ended:
#680 Panel 6 is the same person as #725 Panel 4
I thought it was quite cool how it matches up.

Explain it.

I don't get it either. The other names are Offpanelo (he's off-panel), Notseenicus (he's not seen), and Evisceratus (he's eviscerated).

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
There are certain inevitable similarities between works of parody, but it is, as best, unprovable if Rich was thinking of Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Movie when he named Notseenicus.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Belker mentions knowing a guy that knows a slaver way back in #171 about a guy that knows a slaver who we found out later is in fact, the leader of the desert bug bandits as seen here.

It being Belkar, it's entirely possible that he knows multiple guys who know slavers, though...

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I've been re-reading my copy of Dungeon Crawlin' Fools, and I just noticed that in the strips with the goblin teenagers, the one with glasses also has braces on his fangs.

I think it's implied that Buggy Lou is whom he was referring to, though.

Yup. Notice that Lou mentions that Belkar was best pals with his best supplier. Belkar says he knows a guy(his pal) who knows a guy(Lou)

541, MitD bets O-Chul will "Escapes and lives happily ever after.
661 MitD uses Escape on him & V.
Probably just reading too much into it. :P

Hey! YOu're right! Tennagers... braces.. goblins... fangs!

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Not really the same kind of "thing", and possibly just my imagination, but I've only just noticed what appears to be a shout-out to 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.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
When Elan first begins to suspect his father is evil, Tarquin receives a small cut on his chin that is a little reminiscent of Nale's goatee. Interesting that that is where the cut appears, just as Tarquin begins to resemble (for Elan) his evil son...

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I may be looking too far into this, but every panel in the latest comic (840 - Thief's Tool) looks to fit the definition of a TRAPezoid....

You pretty certainly are, but it's still kind of cool.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
I never noticed that the now sorely-missed Tsukiko used to carry a Xykon doll around with her. How I never noticed it before, I'm not quite sure. Though I do suppose it means she used to sleep with Xykon whenever she wished, or at least an effigy of him. Though if she had someone animate it as a construct... :smalleek:

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Two from 501:
When Daigo and Kazumi smooch at the beginning, the little hearts that appear are Azurite blue instead of red.
Elan's tears in the last two panels are coming from both eyes - good way to set up that he's only wearing an eyepatch to look cool.

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
Just noticed in this comic the boxes say 'Imported from Greysky City' and 'Gouda', which is a fantastic throw-back joke :smallbiggrin:.

In the latest strip, 841, there is runes on all the walls.

And on the faces of the dead. At first I thought they were just cuts, and the walls were graffiti'ed; now I think there's some foreshadowin' afoot. Intruder alert?

Re: Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread
The runes on their faces are just a family thing. Girard has one, Orrin had one, it's safe to presume every one of Girard's extended offspring would have one.
