Number of Character Appearances V

[St Fan]

You know, I wonder if the dentist in this strip isn't the same as the one that filled Argent's teeth.

He does have the same clothes, the same bald head and the same skin color, at the very least.

In fact, looking at it twice, even the backgrounds in both flashbacks have the same color; I think that's intentional to show it's the same Azurite dental practice.

You're right! It can't be a coincidence that the Giant put them in a room with the same colors.

Great catch!

I would say that this is the same dentist in both strips, too.

Great eye! I agree.

[Nimrod's Son]

Yeah, I can't for one minute see why Rich would have him specifically visit Azure City for his dental work if it wasn't meant to be the same dentist.

Also one interesting alteration of "Julio Scoundrel as Most Interesting Man in the World".

Done and done.

Updated through 938
Elan, Haley Starshine, Julio Scoundrél, Roy Greenhilt

[Chronos]

939:

Belkar Bitterleaf, Durkon Thundershield (as vampire), Elan, Haley Starshine, Roy Greenhilt

As an aside, have we ever had a strip featuring the main six, and nobody else?

[Fawkes]

Yup.

[Mizuki]

So many minor characters...

[Angel Bob]

Yup.

Huh. Somebody should go through and catalogue all the strips thus populated. Fine, I guess I'll do it, I don't have a life anyway.*

Incidentally, #939 is decidedly not one of those strips, since Vaarsuvius is nowhere to be seen. Which is a bit of a shame; I've been awaiting her reaction to Count Durkon.

*Updated with a list of strips containing all six of the main protagonists, with optionally Blackwing and/or Mr. Scruffy.
#0002, "Second Grade All Over Again"
#0024, "Do You Hear What I Hear?"
#0086, "The Most Important Quest"
#0088, "Getting Closer"
#0089, "Invisibility: The Lazy Artist's Friend"
#0118, "They Should Childproof Those Things"
#0119, "Hollywood, Eat Your Heart Out"
#0124, "Ding!"
#0125, "Free Experience"
#0129, "Rock Solid Investment"
#0177, "Ch-ch-ch-changes"
#0180, "Falling for You"
#0294, "Contracts, Shmontracts"
#0296, "Boons"
#0333, "The Bright Side"
#0338, "Tactical Priorities"
#0402, "Speaking From the Heart"
#0674, "The Elf Who Cried Raven"
#0691, "All Available Resources"
#0692, "Searchin'"
#0696, "Still a Long Way to Go"
#0697, "Stuck in the Sand Trap"
#0698, "Stopping for Direction"

So yes, we've had several of them -- but we haven't had one in over 200 strips, so viewing them as a rarity is entirely justified.

[Cizak]

#940: Amun-Zora, Enor, Gannji, Geoff, Haley Starshine, Ian Starshine (on poster)

With that, Gannji is a secondary character. We need a smiley.

Amun-Zora, Enor, Gannji, Geoff, Haley Starshine, Ian Starshine (in poster)

[Yana]

941: Elan, Geoff, Haley Starshine, Ian Starshine.

[Emanick]

Tiny error: Bandana is listed as appearing in more than one page of a multipage strip. I've checked the five comics she appears in pretty thoroughly and am fairly sure that is not the case. Change?

From strip 933, panel 1.

[Yendor]

942: Bozzok, Crystal, Geoff, Haley, Ian, Ivy, Jiminy, Jiminy's cat

[Chronos]

Well that was certainly unexpected.

[137beth]

942: Bozzok, Crystal, Geoff, Haley, Ian, Ivy, Jiminy, Jiminy's cat

Also, Ivy.

[Porthos]

Also, Ivy.

Reread the quoted post.

[Cizak]

Also, an "(in picture)" alteration for both Geoff and Ivy.

[137beth]

Reread the quoted post.

You...you put Ivy between Ian and Jiminy? Why, alphabetical?
But then, shouldn't Aunt Ivy be first?

[Porthos]

Nice save.

[Sir_Leorik]

No one expects the Spanish Odinite Inquisition!

Sir, I think you're drifting off into another sketch!

Updated through 942
Bozzok, Crystal, Geoff (in painting) (in sending spell), Haley Starshine, Ian Starshine, Ivy (in painting), Jiminy, Jiminy's cat

[Chronos]

943:
Bandana, Belkar Bitterleaf, Blackwing, Bloodfeast the Extreminator (as lizard), Elan, Haley Starshine, Julio Scoundrel, Mechane Crewman with Dreadlocks, Mechane Crewman with Five O'Clock Shadow, Mr. Scruffy

Dreadlocks first appeared in 935. I think he's already listed as "...with black skin", but I think the dreadlocks are probably more descriptive.

Also, does "as voiceover" count as an alteration for Scoundrel?

[Bird]

I think that's more a narrative contrivance than an alteration. We've had voice-overs before -- Elan & Nale early on, for instance.
