Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
This is a thread for posting anything and everything you might have not noticed your first time around, or even consecutive readings in the Order of the Stick Comic series! This could be a small realization like that Belkar has hair on his head and feet, or a huge revelation of some sort. Big or Small, we'd love to hear from you!

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familar
Probably because most of Elan's puns aren't that subtle.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familar
From that same comic, while I had been aware of that scene before, I never noticed until seeing it linked just now that Elan continues to ineffectually 'poke' Sabine twice more in the fourth panel.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
When Tarquin says "Bring my accountant", I thought it was a funny way of showing he wasn't entirely proficient in sign language. But now I realize, Kilkil WAS his accountant.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Speaking of which, I never noticed that Tarquin grabs his whip out of the emergency bag on the dinosaur.
“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.”

The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
The first time I read this strip it didn't click that Mobility is a prerequisite to Spring Attack.
...
And right now I am wondering if Tarquin's seed had Dodge, DEX 13+, and BAB 4+.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I got to suggest a strip name!
And just in time. When I read #935 for the first time (and the second, and the third...), I missed that Vaarsuvius would have got the buffs from Elan's song as unlike Laurin and Tarquin, V isn't trying to murder anybody.
EDIT: Oh, and in #936 you can see that Tarquin's fingers are indeed slipping: they've got little motion lines around them!Last edited by Durkoala; 2015-10-24 at 05:53 AM.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
The words "fascist" and "fascism" are frequently spelled without the s in various strips.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Apart from #1008, the short legs thing was also mentioned in #453. Also Roy and Belkar seem to react similarly at least in one type of situation (#234 and #926)

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
One thing I noticed a while ago is that when Laurin teleports in 931 panel 6, she reappears in the background of the same panel.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
In the last panel of strip 739, I just noticed the activity feed of Kotor, Paladin of Marduk went from "Smacking dragons, yo" to joining the group "Need a Rez." This is why you don't update your status in the middle of a battle.
(Forgive me if that was pointed out before, but I haven't followed these threads for very long.)

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
I wonder how many times this has been posted (or none if it was always obvious to everyone else) but whilst rereading issue #66 [in the digital version of DCF] I realised I never noticed that when Elan is casting the illusion to distract Thog, and he says "Yeah. I mean, it was that, or a litter of puppies, and I doubt a rampaging barbarian would have stopped for that!" that unbeknownst to Elan, Thog had spent the entirety of issue 51 talking about puppies and it would have indeed been the perfect illusion to stop him.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
For me it was comic 532, when Roy wonders what was so important to Dorukan that he left a big gaping hole in his Cloister uber spell allowing summoning, and the final panel is Dorukan summoning a pretty blond lady having correctly set up all the romantic cliches of seduction (mood music, wine, rose petals on the bed).
My first reading I assumed Dorukan was just a horny old bastard and the woman some random floozy. But after my re-read, prompted by getting the prequel volumes, made me realise how hideously wrong I was. That was Lirian, the love of his life. After reading Start of Darkness, you could make a case for Lirian and Dorukan having the strongest emotional romantic relationship in the whole OotS world.

Re: Things You Never Noticed V: Your Familiar
Not from the comic itself, but I only just now spotted Mr. Scruffy as a tribble in the Stick Trek wallpaper.
