Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
The showdown between Darth V and Xykon takes less than a minute from start to finish. So... about 18 seconds per page?

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Vampire Gontor's eyes glowing when he says "I will provide you with a fight more befitting the proper order of things" in strip 1013. It actually creeped me out a bit when I finally noticed it.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
And it seems his eyes were glowing because he was summoning the pack of rats in strip 1014.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Spoiler: sodIn page 56, Xykon says "don't get your hopes too high. She's a blonde." I thought he was referring to the zombies groping Lirian and talking to them as if they had been teenagers trying to hit on her, and telling them that it's hard to get a blonde, but now I wonder if he meant "No brains there, she's a blonde", because they were saying, "brains".Originally Posted by J.R.R.

In Page #191, when Xykon says
: I once went down the shore for the weekend, and when I got back, three manticores and an umber hulk were hanging new drapes in my living room

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Rich is from Philly, isn't he?I remember it coming up before b/c I noticed a Girard Ave while in Philly, rembered he lived there and wondered if that might have been where Girard's name was taken from. (The consensus, fyi, was that it was a common enough name that it was probably a coincidence.)

“Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I've heard he is.
Also Girard is not a very common name 'round these parts. It sounds funny and slightly foreign (mostly because it is). We use it for a street and a school and that's about it...But the street is an important one and that keeps it in our subconscious forefronts. It would fit the general naming conventions of a D&D-esque world -- foreign-ish, but not too foreign -- quite well.Check out my infrequently-updating blog, The Hammered Critic, where I discuss TV shows and movies I've watched, books and comics I've read, music I've listened to, and perhaps the odd culinary or alcoholic thing

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Since the art upgrade, vampire "Durkon" no longer has visible bite marks. You can't see any on "Gontor" either.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
It might be foreshadowing a LONG way in advance, or it might just be accidental, but look at what V says in the 8th panel of this comic:

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
It's certainly deliberate. The Giant had pretty much plotted out the entire arc by then.

I've never noticed it before, but at the bottom of the giant gold tankard, there are the letters WWTD? (What Would Thor Do?)
After almost 100 strips from this http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0073.html Durkon finds it applicable, after all.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Long time, no post. But I was reading through for the umpteenth time, procrastinating my exams, and I realized that spittle that flies from Malack's mouth when he shouts "I will not put my family below yours!" in strip 854 is not spittle, but is, in fact, blood, possibly the remains of his last meal.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I never noticed how in 886, when Roy kills Xykon in Girard's illusion, Redcloak helplessly looks upon the act behind a force cage, much like Eugene looked on master Fyron being slain by Xykon. It's somewhat creepy how in Roy's "perfect scenario" he wants to make Redcloak "suffer" similiar to how Roy's father did.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Given the relative insignificance of Redcloak in that whole scenario, I'm not sure it's intended to be a parallel.

Yeah, the Order is almost completely unaware that Redcloak is at all important. Except Belkar, for some reason

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
The back of the Throne of Regrets represents a stream of tears descending from stick-figure sad eyes.
The design certainly bespeaks the clear mental discipline of a near-epic interior designer.

I don't see a stream of tears, but it is the same shape as the King's eyebrows.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I also doubt Roy thinks Redcloak feels any real affection for Xykon, considering how vile Xykon is, and I'm pretty positive that Roy has no inkling of the Plan. In the unlikely event that Roy spared a thought for how Redcloak would feel after it was over, I'd expect that part of the illusion to go,
Oh no! Lord Xykon is destroyed!

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Actually, it seems to me as if he were putting his father in the cage to watch while he does what he couldn't. Dreams can skip some passages and have people being someone else.
