Things you never noticed II: I never noticed the first thread

[Gift Jeraff]

Mr. Scruffy is also in the background of #606.

[RNGgod]

From 723:

Tarquin: No one is killing anyone. I gave my word, old friend.

Malak: Bah! I should have known you would go warm-blooded on this one!


Nice foreshadowing for what happens when Malak and Tarquin DO encounter Nale.

[MeanMrsMustard]

Shojo's hair is gray in the flashback.

[ti'esar]

Shojo's hair is gray in the flashback.

He also doesn't have the wrinkles.

[Toy Killer]

I never noticed before that the shaman's attire reflected the Island the Orcs worshiped and lived on. the two holes in the mountain on his hat and the three reefs on his... Gown? cloak? thing?

[Gift Jeraff]

Whoa. You just blew my mind.

[ti'esar]

Well, that's the reason why the orcs started worshiping Banjo in the first place, wasn't it?

[MeanMrsMustard]

I think the orcs started worshipping Banjo because his garb matched Shaman Vurkle's. But I never made the connection that Vurkle's outfit represented the land. Good catch!

[Emperordaniel]

Panel 6

I never noticed Durkon's face going blue because of the AIRTIGHT plastic shell before.

[The Linker]

Nah, I think the outfit came from the puppet. Notice how the shaman begins removing his costume upon finding a new deity to worship.

[Sir Conkey]

Nah, I think the outfit came from the puppet. Notice how the shaman begins removing his costume upon finding a new deity to worship.

Pretty sure he was removing it cause it no longer matched, now he'd have to dye it. I'm willing to bet that wasn't a new costume though.

Anyway, the REAL reason I came to this thread was to point out how I just noticed what Redcloak really meant in panel 5 of page 653.
...Kind of a date-rapey sentence when combined with who he's saying it to.

[Eisenfavl]

Haley is using two different types of arrow, one of each alchemical metal type, (based off of the continuing colour theme) here.
Looks like she still hadn't/hasn't peeked that look at the monstrous manual yet.

[Enero Irontoad]

I just realized the title of Strip 684 V Was Only Waiting for This Moment to Arise is a reference to another Beatles song, Blackbird. It's not a bad song but I tend to overlook it for some reason.

I, meanwhile, never picked up on the secondary pun in there.

[Enero Irontoad]

You mean, Blackwing, because he's a black bird?

[Lord Torath]

I just noticed that Rich bent the right border of See Spot Spot to fit in one of the goblin ninja's sword.

Similarly, I never made the connection between them trading the RED and ORANGE dyes to the orcs (who now worship a "god" dressed in RED and ORANGE) until you mentioned that.

[Tricia]

I just noticed that Rich bent the right border of See Spot Spot to fit in one of the goblin ninja's sword.

It fits in there well, but no. That's just how the borders were up until 100 or so. Go back a page, and you'll see that the border is the same way.

[The Linker]

Huh. Well, that's something I never noticed. It pulls back far enough that you can see the edge of the background, even.

[factotum]

Plus, if you look at strips 4 and 5 you can see that Rich had no problem with things (parts of the ogres, in that case) overlapping the border anyway!

[Kazyan]

Going back to check, that border template was replaced on strip #102, and I'm certain that wasn't the last time it happened.

[Hydra Druid]

I just noticed that Belkar Bitterleaf has les then 6 months to live.

[The Linker]

Oh, a lot less than that by now. Down to seven weeks here. I forget what the consensus is on how long it's been since then.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

Oh, a lot less than that by now. Down to seven weeks here. I forget what the consensus is on how long it's been since then.

And based on today's strip, Belkar is down two more days...

Also, I never notices this before:

Elan's cape's stripe is completely in the wrong place!

[Hydra Druid]

#852 Roy says that he is going to prove that the person they are fighting is not Thog, but when he pulls the helmet off the person is wearing a mask, however Roy still proves that it isn't Thog.
First because the skin between the eyes is the wrong color to be Thog, and secondly the way this person speaks after his helmet is removed proves that he/she is not Thog.
So Roy did what he said that he was going to do, even if he didn't do what he wanted to do (reveal the real ID of the fighter).

[Oscredwin]

Also that's the second time Tarquin was wearing a helmet, both times it came off as part of a dramatic reveal.

[Lvl45DM!]

3rd really. When Roy and Belkar realized he looked liked Elan that was kinda dramatic from them.

How the #$%@$@ did you notice this within a few days of when I did (completely independently) Was just coming on to post this exact thing.

[The Linker]

Eh? He posted that twelve days ago.

[Gift Jeraff]

Elan's scar is noticeable in the printed version of #302. I don't know if it's my monitors or if it just wasn't added until the book, but I can't see it in the online version.
