Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
There was no way for Xykon to know what Durkon's level was when they were fighting. Even if he did know, the spell could have been cast from a scroll with a higher caster level. So for all he knew, the weapon was a legitimate threat.
There is a thread with all the relevant information on it here

I remember tracking it based on spells and stuff and always thought I saw a steady progression starting at 6, it's been a while, but I'd always thought that

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
In strip 212 (I'd link it, but I'm just a pixie), Haley says that Roy just wanted to "bump uglies with the paladin," which Miko corrects by saying, "the proper term is 'smite evil', not 'bump uglies'." I always assumed Miko was saying that the proper inuendo that paladins use is smite evil, until my last readthrough where it occurred to me that Miko probably didn't even realize Haley was using inuendo, and she was probably just saying that the name of the ability is Smite Evil, not Bump Uglies.

That is how I read it, too. She just didn't get it.
I like semicolons; they make me feel smart.

I hadn't noticed Tsukiko sleeps with a Xykon plushie. Thanks, trivia thread!

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Actually, I think Miko is pulling their legs a bit. She understands fine, but is kidding them.
See strip #250
Miko: Perhaps in the future, if you approached the prospect of a romantic relationship from this more mature perspective, I would not be so dismissive of the possibility.
She has been aware of Roy's attraction, but has dismissed it..

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Hmmm. I never noticed that the Gibson/Epiphone SG has one of the devil horn cutaways larger than the other. I always thought it was perfectly symmetrical. This is really bothering me.
Yes, I know this is not about the comic at all. But this is really bothering me.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
True. Though Roy had also previously mentioned, at the very least, a little candlelit affair, just the two of them, which was immediately rebuffed. She could still have easily misunderstood the "bump uglies" idiom, expecially since she was very direct in shooting Roy down.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Also remember that Miko didn't even understand what the slang "hot" means. I think that's entirely the joke, she's so square she doesn't even understand the most basic slang.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
In comic 928 Laurin's attack hits everyone else present, the Order as well as Tarquin. The latter is (or seems) just unaffected by it.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I just noticed a kinda gross little detail in strip 612 (once again, sorry for the lack of linkage). In the last panel, there are some fairly descriptive sound effects for some brutality going on off-screen. The main one that stands out to me being the small "squelch" at the end. I never realized that the Priest of Loki went through completely with his "Brainy Pete" quip.
Also, I never realized that posting about Miko is still a big no-no and will generate discussion. Blunders of a pixie, I guess. Some things just never change in the playground.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Nothing wrong with posting about Miko. Nothing wrong with generating discussion, either.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Comics 770, 774, and 779 all hint at Geoff being a mole for Bozzok. Ian always managing to get caught, Geoff choosing to stay behind, and him asking about Bozzok, respectively. Also, Zz'dtri in disguise throwing a dirty look at V in 775.
(These have all probably been pointed out before, but I'm doing my first reread and haven't been in this thread before.)

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I'm going through another read through of the comic and I just now noticed that the pole arm store cat brings over a dead bird and leaves it by Roy's foot.
