Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I just realized that when Eugene tried to lecture the diva in 487 on whether Roy could go to Heaven, and she very angrily informed him that he had no authority to be involved in the decision-making process, she was probably specifically remembering the time he impersonated a being of pure Law and Good, by hijacking a summoning, in order to tamper with a trial.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
Just noticed panel 6 in 509, where therkla kills the valedictorian ninja.
Oh, and in the first panel here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0517.html), the Wight In Thanh's Shoes has a little smile on his face, probably from getting his shoes.Last edited by ReaderAt2046; 2012-11-11 at 09:55 PM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
Reviewing recent strips for the express purpose of coming up with something to post here (and demonstrate how easy it is to find such things in an extremely detailed work like this), I have noticed that in 858 Tarquin alludes to having personal experience with Sabine's most useful skillset (and no points for guessing what that is).
Aside from the obvoius gag, this indicates several things previously only vaguely implied regarding the situation of Tarquin's group prior to the Empire of Blood's most recent revolution: chiefly, that Sabine was involved with the situation prior to the events depicted in the flashback panel of 725. Prior to this, I would have thought it believable that Sabine had (for instance) been sent by the IFCC or perhaps some other Tanar'ri figure with the authority to dispatch a Succubus on a long-term mission specifically to interfere with the machinations of the western continent's shadow rulers.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
So THAT'S how she met Nale!
Who looks exactly like his brother and their father. Whoa. Somebody mentioned that Elan was probably able to distract Sabine so easily by kissing her because he looked exactly like Nale, so was Sabine attracted to Nale because he looked like a younger (and more importantly, less subtle) version of his father?
Ooooh, remember in #46 when she was surprised that Nale was trying subtlety?

In #762, 2nd pannel , draw a line from tarqins eyes. Looks like Giant was seting up the joke beforehand.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I didn't "just" notice this, but I missed it on my first read, and only saw it on subsequent reads, probably because there was so much time between the two strips.
In 758, when Tarquin is describing how he and his cohort rule through puppets, the King of Tears is shown being told that he needs a new port city.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0758.html
Guess what? Exactly 60 strips earlier, when we get to see the map of the western continent, the Free City of Doom (which the Weepies are besieging) is located next to an ocean harbor.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I have just noticed how Durkon is naturally confused when he sees Celia at the trial, with others greeting her merrily... those two had never met before.
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
In the second panel of this strip (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0517.html), you can see that the box next to the one Haley is hiding in is labeled "Gouda: Product of Cliffport".
That second part is especially weird because Cliffport doesn't open trade routes with Gobbotopia until here:(http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0702.html), almost 200 strips later. How did that get there?
And it's also really cute how in comic 200 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0200.html) you can see Elan trying to play bardsong with his kazoo.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I'm presuming it's a product of the old trade route between Azure City and Cliffport. The box isn't necessarily filled with anything, so it could be this years-old box left around with the other boxes. Cliffport sends Azure City a box, Azure City takes the cheese and eats it, Azure City leaves the box around, Cliffport cuts off ties when goblins take over Azure City.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
Yeah, that should probably get edited into the OP, plus an explanation of what the thread is.
However, gouda is a specific fondness of goblins, is it not? Dunno. Which reminds me, those slaves the Resistance liberated in their introduction were carrying food, was that from a raid, or salvage, or what?Spoiler: This signature is a historical relic from a long-ago time of regular forum activity.Aww man!

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I just noticed that in #759, the giany, flaming "Elan" is spelled with burning escaped slaves. Immediately after Haley and V help some slaves escape, but Haley and V only helped 23 escape, but ELAN had 30 little burning dot. I'm not surprised Tarquin would round up 7 more slaves from somewhere else, but it was interesting.

23 was only V's calculations. They could have easily done better than expected.

I just noticed that all the "Holy" words Elan is suggesting are really "Holey" words, things that are holes, or have them. Sponge and Doughnut are probably next.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I never noticed that while julia didn't think about the fact that Durkon could look up her skirt if she climbed down a ladder after him, it must have occurred to her at some point since she seems to be trying to hold her dress closed while doing so.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
You can see in here (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0319.html) that Haley's Self-Loathing has the same little out-of-place strand of hair as Material Haley, but none of the other Shards of Haley do. Hmmmmm....

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I suspect it's more that Haley's Self-Loathing looks like Haley as a teenager, a design that originated well before any of the other personalities appeared (and did so back when the Giant was more prone to straight recolors, to boot).
On the subject of the thread, though, I hadn't previously noticed that Haley's Self-Reliance doesn't have that loose hair.Last edited by ti'esar; 2012-12-29 at 02:13 AM.

I just got the joke here.
It's needlessly complicated because a fighter/rogue/sorcerer gives essentially the same abilities as a pure bard. It's also a neat tie in to how Nale enjoys his pointlessly overly complex plans.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
H-uh. That explains some things. I'm not as well-versed in D&D as some here, so I never made the connection.
Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't post a little revelation made in the Goblins thread:

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I don't know if this really counts, but until a few minutes ago I never really considered the link between the dragons and the Draketooth clan being that they were presumably sorcerers. The common explanation for sorcerers is having dragonblood once be a part of their family line. Might have just been my own mis-sight but I found it interesting.

Re: Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot
I just realized that in #811, Nale doesn't seem overly perturbed by the presence of Malack, and seems to casually ask Malack how the family is. Earlier there was the misunderstanding regarding who killed Tarquin's previous wife. Maybe the same thing is going on with Malack's kids. Also, Malack is a high level Cleric of a God of Death, he may have survived in a weakened state the exact same thing that killed his kids.
