Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Okay, book 5 single frame appearances, and I think these are all good with
onetwo exceptions.
Ivy
Polearm customer
Julio's Dentist
Rich Burlew (His thumb anyway )
The Dead carpet Merchant
an Albatross
the 2 thief kids
a merchant
The three prostitutes
A cartographer
The old olady in GreySky City
The Sphinx of the convenience store
Death
2 different dwarves being argued about by Hel and Thor
A hobgoblin Clown

2 Aton Merchants
2 of Tarquins dinner guests
The Giant hand puppet monster (That I cannot remember the name of)
The Rend Actors

Cathy the new New anchor
One of tarquins ex wives (the one who had cold feet... eh..)
Tyrinar the Bloody
The pregame singing Group
The intermission acting group
3 different sparticus's (but They are likely in multiple pages)
Thogs #1 fan
Orrin Drake Tooth
Ivy Starsong
and interesting thought experiment, The Snarl. This depends on whether you count crayon flashback depictions of it to be appearances or not (Or more accurately, whether Rich does.) While almost 100% not the answer, the story would be very interesting.
Goblin Dan is in Mr Scruffy's story and I think he is in DStP too.Last edited by Ornithologist; 2019-12-12 at 02:55 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
The appearances thread says Elan's mother has appeared 3 or 4 times (and it's definitely more than one), and more in the bonus comics.
Too bad, I was hoping to say "Elan's mom had got it going on" here.Last edited by Lvl 2 Expert; 2019-12-12 at 02:58 PM.

Laser Snail comes back as an einhieirar
'Utślie'n aurė! Aiya Eldaliė ar Atanatįri, utślie'n aurė! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!" And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered, crying:'Auta i lómė!" The night is passing!"

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Has the Dark One appeared? Technically, weve seen second-hand stories and an illusion. How many appearances is that?
Roy told a story about ogre royalty guarding the starmetal. Is that an appearance?
Sabine impersonates other shapes. Whose appearance is that, Sabines or the targets?
This is impossible to answer unless we know the rules of the game.The Giant says: Yes, I am aware TV Tropes exists as a website. ... No, I have never decided to do something in the comic because it was listed on TV Tropes. I don't use it as a checklist for ideas ... and I have never intentionally referenced it in any way.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
A bunch of the Demigods (including apparently Dvalin) have only appeared in the one-strip where they voted. Are Demigods able to play more of a direct role than full Gods?

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Has the planet that Blackwing saw in the rift appeared more than once? For sure yes, if the ocean from the desert rift is on that planet, but I can't recall another time.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Has anyone said this one, yet?
There's lots of theories floating around about what happens to planar travelers and leftovers from other planes. We do, however, know that an ascended god can theoretically survive past their first world if they have enough stores of power between worlds. So...
These guys are using quiddity.
As far as I can tell, each of them, besides soda and pizza, has only appeared once, in that first comic. So, it could be Milk Dud(e)s, Nachos, Popcorn, or Soy Latte. Nachos and Milk Dud(e)s are both dead, so it's probably not them. Soy Latte wasn't shown using quiddity. But...
Popcorn has only appeared once. Popcorn was also shown using yellow quiddity, the color of the Northern Pantheon, who have been playing a very critical role.
My theory? Popcorn is going to come back.Last edited by ElderSage; 2019-12-12 at 08:16 PM.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Nah, they're using magic, or psionics, or whatever the equivalent is on their world.
"Quiddity," as Thor explained it, roughly means "essence." it is their state of being. You don't see a god without their quiddity their divine essence, surrounding them. You don't see a mortal with it. Popcorn is has a yellow dweomer (or whatever the equivalent is on their world), not quiddity, because popcorn is not a god.
.... Presumably.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
No, see, but Popcorn is a god. Popcorn, in the fourth panel, says, "We have become like unto tiny refreshing GODS!"
Also, you may be interested to note that Popcorn, Soda, and Milk Dud(e)s each use the colors of quiddity of each of the surviving pantheons: yellow, blue, and red respectively.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Imean, Belkar has proclaimed himself to be a god, and yet he doesn't have a white quiddity.
They use dweomers that happen to be the same colors as the Pantheon quiddities, yes. Which does not mean they have quiddities. Which, again, we would always see surrounding them at all times, since they are theoscopic particles escaping the gods event horizon or whatever.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
See, but Belkar doesn't have worshippers or anything. On the other hand, Popcorn has had a minimum of 50 years of worship (panel 3) and probably much more based on the fact that Soda looked much older when he finally hunted down Pizza.
Even wilder crack theory than Popcorn here that will almost certainly never happen: there's a lot of discussion going around about Banjo and/or Giggles becoming a fifth quiddity, but what if it's Belkar???? A common fantasy trope is that gods have to die to ascend, or that they're dead anyway. Also, I don't think deities need to breathe.
...y'know who's only appeared once? Giggles. Maybe there is something to that theory, after all...

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
True, very true. *laughs* (non-sarcastically, that was actually pretty funny)
I would posit, though, that Milk Dud(e)s was not a very powerful god. Yes, they had a minimum 50 years of worship at that point which was enough to make them into gods. However, even a mortal like Pizza is technically more "real" than Milk Dud(e)s after they had ascended to become gods. Thor even says that the gods are less "real" than mortals, just more powerful. Going off of this information, a mortal could likely have slain a young, weak god.
Later, by the time Soda tracked down Pizza, probably another solid 50 years had passed, and by the time the world was finally destroyed, Popcorn could have been around for anywhere from 100 to 2,000 years, considering that they're the originals, implying that they were around near or at the beginning of the world, and sentient movie theater snacks seems like a pretty bottom of the barrel idea to me. Since they're up to a few thousand years, Popcorn's had a while to accumulate power and managed to survive through to the new world. Also, the idea of popcorn seems like it's still around because Thor expected Minrah and Durkon to know what he was talking about when he said "sentient movie theater snacks".
So Popcorn could be around as a Northern deity.
(I'm still thinking about this Giggles thing, though... Giggles has only appeared once... Giggles could be a fifth quiddity color... or maybe even purple as a "monster" god...)

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Milk Dud(e)s was by far the weakest - having only been created in 1928. Not even a hundred years of worship. No wonder he (she? it? they?) was so easily slain. Pizza was by far the strongest of the New Refreshments, as the archetypal pizza margherita dates to at least the 19th century.
Soda was marginally more powerful, however, as infusing water with carbon dioxide was first discovered in 1767. And armed with a Pizza Cutter (which itself dates back to 1892, when it was mainly used for cutting wallpaper), vengeance was truly his (its?).
Otherwise, the New Gods were weak-ass punks. Nachos were first invented in 1943 and less said about Soy Latte, the better.
But Popcorn.... Popcorn is a different story altogether. It has been eaten for far, far longer than we know - far longer than written history. The oldest evidence of popcorn dates back to 6,700 years ago
Popcorn is the Elder God. And the gods quake at the mere mention of his (its? their?) name. They merely hope and pray that he sleeps on...

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I think it's pretty straightforward; an appearance on panel counts as an appearance. I'm assuming the answer won't be a nonexistent character like the ogre kings. I can only remember Sabine impersonating one actually existing character as opposed to just going in disguise.
Really, it's impossible because we have so little to go on, but I also think that's why the question is relatively straightforward; it won't be something like "technically that character appeared in flashback / in a story someone else was telling, so it wasn't really an 'appearance'."

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
I don't Think that's safe to presume, no. It seems likely the one page is in the main comic (volume alone means the main comics have the odds in its favor), but it could just as easily be in some of the extra materials. Wouldn't be the first time a character from the prequels was introduced in the main comic after all.

Re: Major character who has only appeared on 1 page in the entire OOTS saga
Your theory includes the proposition that Thor expected Durkon and Minrah to know what he was talking about vis-a-vis sentient movie theater snacks, but Thor also expected Durkon and Minrah to know what he was talking about re the theoscopic particles, and even the dumbed down version of quiddity. Which shows that has no bearing on popcorn being a god.
Also, we did not see Popcorn represented in the Godsmoot, so that's a knock against him. And, further, gods are prohibited from direct intervention on the material world.
Popcorn will be a god over my cold, dead body, I tells ya!
