Things You Never Noticed III: The Search for Spot

Haley is imported from Greysky City.
(Thanks!)

I think your link is off. I've repeated it with fixed link:

In 422, O-Chul is placed opposite the MitD.

Guess who he spends most of the next boo making friends with...

And not just O-Chul and MitD, I just realized that the two pages are mirror images of each other regarding characters. Roy is mirrored by "Xykon", and he ends up fighting Xykon. Hinjo is mirrored by Redcloak, the current and next rulers of Azure City. And Vaarsuvius is mirrored by the demon roaches... I got nothing for that...

V is mirrored by the demon roaches - fiends and a fiend-dealer.

The Azurite wizard in row 2 is mirrored by a zombie.

The attitudes in row 2 mirror each other.

Even the mountains and the ramparts mirror each other throughout.

Speaking of "Xykon", I never noticed that the orange-pendanted one Redcloak is talking to in that comic is the Eye of Fear and Flame. It explains both why this particular "Xykon" is so nervous, and how Redcloak was able to deliver such a scathing putdown without getting roasted. And, given that it was dressed like Xykon, that must have been pretty therapeutic for Redcloak :)

Comic 24 panel 4
Gobbo says 'Exenses' instead of 'expenses'

[Lvl45DM!]

I never noticed how much I'd miss Durkon when he's gone

[Rakoa]

I never noticed how much I'd miss Durkon when he's gone

I second this. I was rooting for Malack the whole time...and then he won. And I kind of regret it.

[MoonCat]

I never noticed how much I'd miss Durkon when he's gone

You bastard, you just made me cry. I felt exactly the same way!

[Lvl45DM!]

You bastard, you just made me cry. I felt exactly the same way!

Not even sorry.

[KillingAScarab]

Just noticed this - strip #737, panel 6. Durkon spikes the tea with some liquor from a flask he was carrying to make the tea taste better.

I only just noticed this, too.

Also, Malack includes himself amongst "lizardfolk" in that comic. Furthermore, it is much easier to see in that comic the tail is within Malack's robes. Should have realized that his tail would be on the outside if he was moving as a biped.

[Gift Jeraff]

I just noticed Malack's height was inconsistent: compare him standing next to Elan in #720 and #812. Makes sense since he coils his tail.

I've always been on the lookout for strip titles being reused. I figure that it's only a matter of time before Rich reuses a joke; there are only some many witty titles, after all.

Which is why I was so surprised that I didn't notice that this most recent comic, 877, has the same title as 333.

Both are called "The Bright Side." I think I'm going to cry now.

Oh wow. That's touching.

Not to mention in the 9th panel, he says he feared he'd be EATEN by some monster, and well...Malack has been name a monster by Durkon, and he was eaten by him...foreshadowing?

[Rui]

In the last strip note the roache's comments aboutt the acid breathing shark. This is a joke about a book called "Dungeonscape", that Rich Burlew wrote. In this book you can find an acid breathing shark

This is kind of obvious, but I guess that some peoples didn't notice. In This strip you can see O-Chul strikes in the shark mouth and breaking some of his teethes. In the later panels you can see that the shark attacks with a red line in his mouth, and those are his gums.

This is obvious too, yet in this strip We can see Kubota reading some books. These are 4 edition books, including the player's handbook and the monster manual in the box (he is reading the dungeon's master guide).

And last, in this strip we can see Elan asking Malack questions because it's everyone's job to introduce new characters (like Malack in this time), and that if he won't ask him he'll just spew it in the middle of an action scene (he says all in panel 1-3). Look what we've got here in panel 2

[Procyonpi]

In 485, Eugene makes a DBZ reference, joking that Roy would train with a martial arts master in the afterlife while is friends try to revive him. That's not quite how it goes down, but...

[Mc. Lovin']

Not to mention in the 9th panel, he says he feared he'd be EATEN by some monster, and well...Malack has been name a monster by Durkon, and he was eaten by him...foreshadowing?

Oh ... my ... god ...

Usually I would say that was pure luck, but I seriously wouldn't put it past the Giant to forshadow THAT early. Jeeze. That is awesome

[Procyonpi]

Oh ... my ... god ...

Serious props if that was a Troll 2 reference.

[What'sThatThing]

I just noticed that in panel 9 of this strip, the Oracle makes a reference to Celia's occupation.

[Carl]

Good catch, also, can i just say as much as yes belkar was in the wrong, i really can't blame him for stabbing the oracle. Jerk. Hopefully he get's some kharmic payback by the end of the comic.

[Procyonpi]

I just noticed that in panel 9 of this strip, the Oracle makes a reference to Celia's occupation.

I thought that was fairly obvious.

[Pigkappa]

Maybe someone has already noticed, but checking the whole thread would take a long time...

In 861, Malack comments the metal door is airtight. I didn't think that line was revealing before knowing he's a vampire who can turn into fog at will.

[The Linker]

I thought that was fairly obvious.

Recall that this is not the 'cool tidbits no one noticed' thread. This thread is home to plenty of 'How did I miss that' moments.

[The Pilgrim]

Here in panel 5, Tarquin comments that he can "personally attest" about Sabine's "most useful skillset". Tarquin being Tarquin, this seems to imply that he actually has had sexual intercourse with his son's girlfriend.

Well, Nale is technically a younger, less subtly homicidal version of Tarquin, so even if the IFCC assigned her to the more large-scale big-picture Tarquin first... Never Mind. Brain Bleach. So Much Brain Bleach.

Very much. Not that I find that event surprising (Sabine being an evil incarnation of illcit sex and all that), but still it's a bit brain bleacher.

Now thinking about that, Sabine having had a relationship with Tarquin would explain the high amount of despise she has shown for the old man.

[Bluepaw]

All the way back in #120, I just noticed that Sabine shanks the prison guard with her bare hand! Eeesh.

[OPM]

Anyone else just notice that the center of Durkon's holy symbol changed from white to black in #878?

I suspect Durkula will be casting evil cleric spells soon.

Also, I understand why V is gagged to prevent spellcasting in #251 but that just makes me wonder why Haley needed to be blindfolded. Does it hamper her attempts to free herself from those chains?
