Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar

[Bratmon]

The "them" Malack is refering to here is not the summoned monsters.

[Grey Watcher]

I never noticed that, in 372, Miko's last line echoes Xykon's first one.

[Ruck]

I just noticed that in 456, when Redcloak dismisses his mount (evil woolly mammoth?) for the clerical duel, the General is still riding it. We see him fall off in panel 2, and hear him hit the ground in panel 3.

[KillingAScarab]

Others had noticed this previously it turns out, but I just noticed in #85 Belkar's dagger is still stuck in Roy.

They reflect each other quite well, matching Redcloak's diatribe.

A bit of Wile E. Coyote to lighten the scene.

Awesome!

[Vinyadan]

I never noticed that the clanking sounds coming from Durkon's stall probably have more to do with his armour than with a defective flush handle.

This comic has a background.

I never noticed that Belkar in the background there can be seen through the stuff in his vision. Best seen in panel five where you can see his chin through the rock Shojo is on.

I never noticed that Durkon has toilet paper stuck to his boot in panel #7. Poor Durkon.

Ooooh! Neat!!!

A small thing I noticed in one of the prequel books

Spoiler: Origin of PCs Spoilers

Show

In the Elan segment, he is walking his Donkey and Sir Francois' Special Mount when a woman passes by and says "Nice ass, cutie!" Elan, being himself, thinks she's talking about his donkey and goes "Thanks! His name is Dandelion!" in the next panel Sir Francois' mount has the look on his face. For those not savvy with D&D Rules, a Paladin's special mount is sentient rather than being a normal animal when it comes to cognitive abilities. If Sir Francois' is a high enough level, he might me smarter than Elan because the intelligence boost scales with their Paladin's level.

[Rogar Demonblud]

I'm reasonably certain eggplant parmesan is smarter than Prequel Elan.

This is from a bonus strip, but still:

415a:

There's like, a 10% chance that some group of random adventurers will show up just because, like those "Order of the Stick" tools did back in the dungeon. If they do, I'm pretty sure you get to chow down.
Ooooo! Will they be bringing snacks?
On them! Chow down on them! God!
Oh.

In #415a, MitD mistakenly thinks that if random adventurers show up, they'll have a dinner party. As of #476, this turns out to be true.

Check the title of #476 and compare it to what happens in #105. Blow your mind ;)

I'm surely missing something here

[Keltest]

I think he meant 103

[martianmister]

Something really interesting an unnoticed:

On page 461 there is a floating skeletal hand above the base of the stairs in the fifth panel. When I went back to the online comic, I saw it was on there as well. It's really tiny and kind of hard to see.

I beleive he is suggesting it is an art error that Rich might want to fix one day. Going back to #448 and #449, it looks to be Xykon's hand that is above that one paladin's head. Presumably part of that throne/stairs was copy and pasted into #461 but the hand was missed on cleanup.

It really is almost impossible to see at computer resolution for the online comic (kinda a white blur), but checking the two strips previous, it seems pretty clear to me that is what is going on.

[littlebum2002]

Ahh, that makes more sense.

I'm not sure if this is a "blow your mind" moment, more like a "Rich takes jokes and re-uses them in a funny way" moment.

Ha, yeah, I caught that one already.

[Bratmon]

The panel layout of 887 is inspired by the purple swirly eyes the order had in the last comic.

[KillingAScarab]

I just noticed the cleric for Sif present during the godsmoot was cheering along with Veldrina.

[UristMcRandom]

I just caught the Psycho reference in this comic.

Great... now I'm going to have that music in my head every time I shower...

[Peelee]

Great... now I'm going to have that music in my head every time I shower...

There's an easy fix to that, but your coworkers might object.

[Ruck]

Not a major revelation, but I just realized the first exchange of #937 sets up #1013 nicely, establishing Blackwing's penchant for melodrama.

I'm pretty sure my coworkers aren't willing to come and sing to me while I shower.

I just realized Elan and a member of the crew are still fixing a sling for Haley in #937.

I don't understand. Do you mean you don't work for a shampoo advertisement?

[martianmister]

Just noticed that Blackwing is wearing a bracelet with his precious stone-crush.

[Ron Miel]

I just noticed that the crewmwmber is blue headscarf woman, and look what she made the sling from.

Yeah, that's the subject of #967.
