Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot

[The Linker]

I just noticed in strip 867 that Roy actually has a pair of straps to hold his sword to his back, rather than it just sort of floating there as seems to happen so often (mainly in video games, admittedly). Have those been there the whole time?

Probably first appeared during some art upgrade. Don't think they've been there since the *very* beginning.

#689 is when I first noticed them.

[ReaderAt2046]

Redcloak has a portrait of the Dark One over his desk (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0828.html)

[Procyonpi]

in #88, Durkon says he took his armor off so he could be quiet in the invisibility sphere, but in #89, it's back on.

After Elan duels the cactus, Haley has a new flower... but Elan also has spikes in him.

Indeed! That was found by an earlier poster but I still find it hilarious! Good work.

I was the eariler poster (or maybe one of several). Though in this particular case, if you didn't actually know someone else had found it, it would still be your first discovery, and count.

[What'sThatThing]

I just noticed that the title of the second-newest strip (Unleash the Fury) is a reference to Belkar's lines in the second-to-last panel here and in the last panel here

[Ron Miel]

Felix the Mensch ... I only just got that joke.



Because a Mensch is the opposite of a grouch, and Felix is the opposite of Oscar.

And Little Roc is the opposite of Big Bird

[Tragak]

I just realized that not-Thog was probably using the same Ring of Regeneration that Elan turned down.

[Mike Havran]

I only just noticed that Durkon and Hilgya are holding their hands when Nale got the talisman.

Actually, probably not. Didn't T say that he had two? (his one and the one he was offering Elan.)

I was browsing through NCftPB last night when I discovered that in The Interlude of DOOOOOOOM! Miko is holding something odd in her hand when she interviews the barbarian, and sure enough, it's the 'pamphlet' that the barbarian handed to Belkar here!

In this strip where told that the dragon was an immature one. Look back at this one and what song is it singing when dazzed...

Very good joke :p.

I thought that mostly had to do with his head being spinning.

Yes it does. But why that specific song when his heads spinning? Hence my comment. It suddenly hit me. It's because he's a kid :).

Not teenager?

Young adult. He has a stash of nudie magazines, is dating a girl, and is old enough to be left alone without a babysitter. Probably about equivalent to a human 16 year old.

[Carl]

You knew what i meant. Stop being fecisiously pedantic :p.

[WoLong]

The grim reaper scythed the girl through her Vagina

[MoonCat]

The grim reaper scythed the girl through her Vagina

That was the stab wound from whatever killed her in the first place.

Well, I'm slow today.

[Ron Miel]

It's not a trivial distinction. The song is for very young children, and the dragon is obviously much older than that.

When Tarquin forces Malack to go along with Nale, and Malack reluctantly agrees, Nale is sticking his tongue out at Malack for his father taking his side over the "pet iguana's"

[ReaderAt2046]

I just realized that in this comic (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0811.html), Nale's probably asking if Malack has made any more fledgelings.

Disagree. I think it was more as a taunt, because he killed his last ones. Nale's just putting salt in the wound because he know's its a soft spot for Malack.

[ti'esar]

Malack is drinking bloodwart tea. Part of the local theme, or foreshadowing disguised as such? (Note that Durkon thought it was disgusting...)

Also, and unrelated to recent revelations, Roy appears to be missing the tail for his speech balloon in panel 8.

[Procyonpi]

I never noticed Malack was a vampire.

The dimmers introduced in 751 (last row) got used again in 821.
