    Sometimes, I put in details solely because it adds a touch of realism or detail to a panel. It seemed like it says something about the character if he didn't win every single time; it says that he's good, but not unbeatable. However, I can assure you there is no more importance to it than that, nor will it ever be mentioned again.

    Not everything has a story attached to it, or at least, not a story worth telling.
    Yeah, and the black gragon from stripe #181 was just random, insignificant monster, nothing to worry about, because will it ever be mentioned again.

    Not every monster has a story attached to it, or at least, not a story worth telling..

    Except the dragon was far more significant than a minor background detail and later had forshadowing for the later event.

    Perhaps, but it's hard to display sarcasm over the internet and mostly I just saw someone taking a rude snipe at the Giant.

    You're surely not comparing one of the Order's more notable adversaries to an inanimate object, in the background of a scene, that was never even so much as commented on by a single character?

    You're arguing with the guy who writes it. If he says it's insignificant, it's insignificant. No further discussion needed.

    I know who the Giant is and I wasn't arguing. Nimrod's son almost got my joke, byt apparently he is thinking I was serious about it which is, certainly, ridiculous.

    You'd already stated you were joking. Trouble is, it doesn't read like a joke. It reads like you're telling Rich that he should expect this sort of pointless speculation because sometimes he reintroduces story elements that have largely been forgotten about.

    Which is, certainly, ridiculous.

    I wondered about this too. Thanks for the reply Rich, but I was quite hoping for the Pete killed the competition bit and somehow got a flashback to it. Ah well, can't have everything.

    Yeh, that was my take on this too. He was fixated on getting his eyes back, but once he had them, he came back to get his bow, rescue them and help them unleash a beatdown on the guild that had tormented him all those years.

    Unfortunately he didn't count on Belkar :)
