Re: Things you never noticed
Could V being turned into a lizard have been a particularly obscure Discworld reference? Because in Sourcery, Coin turns Lord Vetinari into a small lizard.

Re: Things you never noticed
And Celias coworker standing left to her in panel 13 on the same strip is the one who is killed by Thog in 51, when the Linear Guild teamed up with OOtS. One can assume that he also kills the one right to her in 52, judging by the colour of the speech bubbles, and the specific sound effect.
Rather sad, actually...

Re: Things you never noticed
I'm still not quite sure where the ADOM joke is; the closest I've found is it might be the likening of Elan's speedy diplomacy attempt to the speech of the quickling bard, Filk, whose words are writtenrightnextoteachotherwithoutanyspacesbecause heisthefastestcreatureinthegame. I tested and couldn't get similar speech out of other quicklings in the game; normal quicklings and quickling lords seemed only to buzz at me, and the king used spaces and commas and such.
*shrug* Is it a long shot?Last edited by Derjuin; 2010-04-12 at 12:44 PM.

Re: Things you never noticed
Hadn't really noticed it before, but in 516, the wight asks Tsukiko if he can have Thahn's shoes; in the next comic, the wight is wearing his shoes, and in 524, Thahn notices their disappearance shortly after overcoming the dominate spell.

Re: Things you never noticed
I was just reading some of the bonus strips in Don't Split the Party- and there's a lot of Yor in them (from the Greysky Thieves' Guild)
and Yor is consistently the dumb fighter archetype, and is evil...and is 'Roy' spelled backwards.

Re: Things you never noticed
The ABD's spittle in 628 panel 6 is there in panel 8, sizzling away. Followed by burn marks on the ground later on.

Re: Things you never noticed
In 140, Belkar wants to "unleash the fury" and gets handed a weiner dog. Later on he says that Hinjo gets to "unleash the fury" with his wolf mount, in 432.
I understood the whole jealous-of-his-riding-dog, but I didn't realize Belkar had said anything about unleashing the fury earlier in the comic!

Re: Things you never noticed
Strangely enough, I never noticed that people referred to Varsuvius as simply "V" for ages. has it always been like that, or when did it start? The most obvious things elude me

Re: Things you never noticed
And in in-universe chronology, Haley refers to Vaarsuvius as V the first time we see them together, at a bar, in Origin.
Speaking of the prequels, it took me a few reads to get this joke in Start of Darkness:
SpoilerAt the tattoo/piercing/oath parlor, the proprietor attempts to dissuade Eugene from the Oath of Vengeance by offering an Oath of Fidelity instead: "I have three myself." Standard line from a tattoo artist, except if he has three Oaths of Fidelity, he hasn't kept any of them. Wonder what his girlfriends would think about that?

Re: Things you never noticed
SpoilerYeah, same thing happened for me. It was just during the last week that I learned (and managed to remember) what fidelity translates to, and then, just by happenstance (I'm far to easily distracted when I'm supposed to go to bed), I reread through some of the earlier parts of SoD and stumbled upon this joke, able to understand it.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...
