I'm pretty sure she didn't. They had just returned from getting the golem, when V pops in and takes the whole party away, and Haley's last words to Crystal are that the deal is off.

The W.W.T.D on the bottom of the golden tankard in this comic, last panel. It's a reference to this comic, with Thor's beer and whatnot.

Yellow? They are white.

See also W.W.J.D.

Sabine's bracelet simply disappears between #142 and 252.

EDIT: And she has it in #725's flashback.

[turkishvan2]

I guess this is a dumb thing not to notice, but I just noticed that Girard shaved his goatee sometime between strip #276 and #277.

And yet he's bearded when we see him again in #693, in a message that was presumably recorded not long after the Gates were completed...

[Gift Jeraff]

He's also missing his ponytail in the poster. Girard's hair is only an illusion!

I just noticed that even Xykon's TeeVo is drawn on the poster! Also, Jones and Rodriguez are actually split up, with Jones being on the (mostly) evil side. I'm sure there's a lot more stuff I haven't noticed on that poster too, of course..

Presumably, Nale is not the only one that can grow his goatees back after shaving them.

Interesting to note that the Oracle is on the "evil" side there, although I suppose that's actually where you'd expect to find a Tiamat-worshipping kobold!

[Lord Torath]

I never realized that Belkar was reading Dune here (panel 4), and rooting for Baron Harkonan! (I always thought he was complaining that Varsuvius was holding him too close to the purple worm's maw!)

[ThePhantasm]

Here's something I noticed as being absent, but I didn't think it warranted its own thread.

That is: where is Roy's grandmother? We didn't see her (nor was she mentioned) in the afterlife.

I don't know why this random thought came to me but it did.

[Shale]

It's entirely possible she wasn't LG.

Also his other grandfather and grandmother.

Thing I noticed:

Spoiler

In OtOoPCs, Eugene lived from 1102-1180. WaXPs' cast page lists him as 81. Since WaXPs takes place in early 1184, this makes sense.

However, what I'm getting at is that this, in addition to Roy turning 29 while in Celestia, proves that OOTS characters would probably insta-age when resurrected. Thus, this is another reason as to why Redcloak hasn't resurrected any of his family members--with the possible exception of his sister, they'd probably be too old.

But it also raises an interesting question: Say Eric does accept a resurrection. Does he instantly age to 21~ish, yet still have the mind of a child?

Perhaps they don't insta-age or otherwise displays effects of aging, but their ages are counted in terms of total elapsed time since birth, whether alive or dead.

[Gift Jeraff]

Oh, good point. Hadn't thought of that.

Spoiler

Either that or his max age would be cut short tremendously and would have a max age of around 30-40 (Not quite sure on the timeline)

Or his evil twin Drarig switched places with him.

Actually (given how central Elan's family troubles are to what's been happening on the Western continent) I wouldn't be too surprised if Girard's life did turn out to have some parallels to Elan's.

[martianmister]

I never noticed Elan's different hair styles in the first and sixth/seventh panels. Also:

Really? This is what you want to spend your time discussing, how I drew the characters within the first 20 strips before I settled on how they would look?

I mean his hair in the first, sixth and seventh panels. They are different from the rest "first 20 strips" and just look random.

[The Linker]

I am confused by this post. ^

Where is that quote from...?

Agreed. Where? Is it by the Giant? I'm guessing it is...

[archon_huskie]

It is something the Giant, the artist said.

[The Linker]

I figured it's from the Giant, yeah, but when did he say that? Months ago? Years?

Last night.

*Searches*

Ah, I get it. The thread was locked and so martianmister's kind of venting to the wind.

[archon_huskie]

At the bottom of 765 there is an arrow sign that says Directly to Jail.

Like in Monopoly.

OoPC's Spoiler

Spoiler

Here One of the Paladin's that Teevo recorded is Sir Franois from OoPC's. This is who Elan was traveling with before he met Roy
